SUGGESTIONS FOR TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In an editorial entitled The Vacation Waste
IN tho Issue OF The New York Tribune Of August ap-
pears tho following: "The necessity Of n system Of
education high in standards. thorough in its pro
cesses and readily open to every youth, whatever his
parentare or his financial resources. 1t must also be
rapid in It's movement Al waste Of time and all re-
dundant labor must be prevented
Tho great misfortune with the public school system
in EcwYOrk City at present Overplus OF subjects
10 be taught in an Insufficient amount OF time 1t Is
ono grand rush for tho teacher to carry out the pro
gramme. When the scho0day + closed the teacher IS
thoroughly exhausted mentally and physically, and the
pupil thoroughly befoggcd. such is the state OF the
pubncschco system at present IN NcwYorll CITY.
have talked with some Of the most successful public
school teachers the subject. The refrain was al
WAYS the same" II only had enough time 10 carry
out the programme This IS all wroNg. 1t IS high
time it was stopped All that Is essential to teach In
the grammar classes Of the common schools is rs fol

Of manual trimming; physiology, because it helps the
child to acquire physical habits and IS the best

reading, becauso the cultivation OF taste
FOR reading places the child In contact with
the best society Of every period Of history ;
writing, because legibe style Is essential In every
walk Of io spelling, because correct spelling vastly
aids correct speech history Of the United states, be-
cause a thorough knowledge Of country is abso
utoly necessary for Intelligent citizenship geography,
because II is adjunct b. history arithmetic because II
develops the reasoning pgwcs moral talk. using such
lT strength OF character, kindness, the golden rule,
exc This Is most important, because " the right
development If the moral powers is OF greater i'm
nortsncc to the child than thc education OF the intel

should be repetition, because repetition Is tho mother
Of studies / am an ardent admicr Of the common
schools. My happiest days were spent within their
walls. They arc the buwarfS Of this great Nation.
still since tho majority Of boys able 10 spend so
little time at school before becoming bread winners,
nil dross should be seduously avoided and thorough
ness take the place Of superilclality An earnest

MORE CHILDLIKE THAN HAD BEEN EXPECTED.

MORE CHiLDLIKE THAN HAD BEEN EXPECTED.
TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir We had often heard in our secluded home
among the hills Of Allegany about the FreslrAir
children, but scarcely expected TO possess any
Of them, they seemed far away But day an
agent came and consented to receive two for the
fortntghts vacation-with some misgvings, / must
confess for imagined they might want TO chase the
cows and skrmish with the bun, kill themselves wifi
green apples, trample the flower beds and in short
keep smart hand busy In keeping them ont of danger
ard mischief tried to remember that many farmers
had lived through tho process and endeavored to hope
for the best, and to the day set for the In
vasiOn Of our town by more than 100 children. The
train was delayed by freight wreck They had been
on the cars the whole night previous, and 1t WIS
nearly night again when my two boys aghted at my
door, but tired and snutty they were, they started
out at once to gather flowers, clovers, maywecds,
buttercups and yarrow, pllng them into their little
grp.acls to carry homc,' and long they stayed
they kept vases full Of them. We had objection
to their picking garden flowers and they did 10
some extent, but they seemed 10 think tho daisies and
mayweeds Just as pretty, and perhaps they arc. 1t
Is good for u.s. blinded by natures eJhaustlcss
abundance, to see orr common field flowers through
new eyes Then, though II getting dark, they
went to milk The cows had II IN mind to toss
them for being strangers, but the boys didn't know
that They gazed In wonder, the 5nsllcr one (,lx
Ire saw where It came from. The neighbos reported
the same thing Of somo of the children they had.
Ny boy soon forgot his principles and drank perh1p.
his weight before he left. And now began a two
weeks picnic riding the loads of hay and rompiny
In the NOV, feeding grass to tho little cows they
called the calves long grass Was being cut any

they could pick mp stones to throw were valued piy

end Of their holiday was coming. One wished for a
stay of 100 weeks the other wanted 10 STAY forever
but Ms the day drew they began TO think they
would Ike to their mothers and there was book
of pressed flowers to carry home and long ride 10
the station with the privilege of driving Part of the
way, and they parted from quite cheerfully after
all. They were much more childke thar had sup

THE BATH AT EAST RIVER PARK.

TO tho EdltOr OF The TrIbune.
Sir Would you permit few lines of protest in your
valuable journal against The closing Of the free bath at

blessed with four bsthsone private bath at Eighty
fourthst two pay baths at Eghtyseventh and Eighty
ninth SIS, and free bath tho private bath and two
pay baths being squaters the city's property. The
free bath was closed to the great financial benefit Of the
two pay baths. hope you will assist US 10 open again
the tree bath and not place ID in front OF sewer MOUTH
where ought never have been placed and to drive
the sQuatcrs from the ctys valuable properly, where
they have rights. FREE BATH.

6t,ean Grove Aug ii (SpeciaD-Ihe fourth day OF
Ee twenty second annual camp-meeting OF the ocean
Grove Association finds the many meetings In the fuLl
tide OF successful operation. The religious fervor and
enthusiasm have risen to an unusual height for 50 early
a stage Of the meeting The Rev. George c. stro
bridge Of New-York City, preached from the words OF
Christ Somebody hath Touched Me-" Christ was re-
spgslye TO this sick woman's faith. He Is not always
responsive TO human touch For example the speaker
tIted the case Of the young man who wanted the
Master to settle the question of his inheritance, the
Phaees and the piece Of silver and Pilates question
GWhat Is truth" These lacked sincerity and the
Master was cold and unrosponstve. This woman
wanted something. God IS always on the side Of
human wants She had faith that Christ could heal
her. Faith IS omnipotent with God Faith includes
Remuneration Of will and desire and action. We must
profess Christ. Some say that remuneration smacks
of loss of liberty that He would absorb the race
HI absorption Of love. There IS nothing In His
word or work that compromises human liberty. All
slavery is to-day outside Of Christian nations To him
who follows Christ the path is not narrow, but wdens
out into the broadest and largest liberty.
Uhe Rev. DIR. Thomas L. Poulson followed with an
srrtsst exhortaton. This afternoons sermon was de-
livered by the Rev. DR.. a c. Dixon, Of Brooklyn,
from the words Marvel not that I said unto thee.
'Ie must be born again. This sermon was followed
by PRAYER service The Rev. Dr. IL. Graham, Of
Troy, n. y, preached the evening sermon. The
preachers tomorrow Will be the Rev. Dr. Luci0n C..
Clark, of New DIRK the Rev. stephen Merritt, of New
York, and the Rev. j. NJ. Meeker OF Troy.
