The Public Schools of New York City.

Dr. J. M. Rice. in January Forum.
The typicalNew York city primary school
Is a hard. uDsyInpathetic, mechanical
druid gerry school, a school into which the
light OF science has not yet entered. Its
characteristic feature lies in the severity of
it's discipline. a discipline of enforced ST.
lenCe. m~otionlessness and mental passlvity.
The difference found in going from room to
room and from school to SCHOOL, have
seen many Of them-is q difference IN de-
gree only, and not in kind. One teacher
will allow her pupils TO move their heads
O little more freely than the standard, an
other will allow a little more freedom to
the shoulder joints. but less freedom in
moving the head, and the third requires
the children to keep their hands in their
laps, instead of behind their backs.
The character of the instruction Is identi-
cal with that found wherever this false
system of discipline prevails. being of that
form which appeals to the memory alone.
The aim of the teacher IS simply to secure
results by drilling the pupils in the facts
prescribed for the grade. The public school
system OF New York city affords. therefore.
another example Of how. under unwise
management, a trained teacher may be re-
duced TO the level of one who has had no
training.

HEAVY LOSSES In BATTLE
Indiana Had Thirteen in the ListofThree
Hundred Fighting Regiments.
Others We're Fighters Also. butThese Figures
Relate to Organizations Which Lost 10
Per Cent. or More of Their Number.

Every old soldier believes his own regi-
ment the best In the service. but if be has
studied the matter he knows that the diff
ference in regiments was mainly a differ
enoe in officers and discipline. OF course.
this observation does not apply to a few
regiments which. as a whole, were OF bad
material, rs were q few from tie slums OF
two or three large cities. Good men would
not make q good regiment with sticks Tor
officers. Discipline was of first Importance,
and the presence of officers with their COM
mands was usually essential to q good al
around regiment. The men In the ranks
might be better qualified for officers than
were those who held the commissions. but
the fact of their presence to direct had
much 10 do with the success and reputa-
ton of regiments. The general officers,
too. who were In the fight with divisions
and brigsdes. made the best regulations for
themselves and their commands be-
cause their presence gave confidence.
1t is stated in the report
of the board which inquired into the fall
ure following the explosion of the mine
under the rebel works July so. 1864. in front
of Petersburg, and by General Grant him
self, that the failure to capture Petersburg
at that time and the disaster which fol-
lowed were due to the fact that division
and brigade commanders. for the most part.
remained behind instead of going In with
the zen and giving directions.
In that valuable work entitled "Regi-
mental Losses" by William +. Fox, the au-
thor gives the title of Three Hundre
Fighting Regiments" TO the three hundred
organizations which lost the largest num-
Der of men in killed and mortally wounded,
which seems to include all those regiments
which lost over 10 per cent. OF their enroll
menIs. OF $50 men. Mr.. Fox makes haste to
explain that these three hundred are not the
fighting regiments par excellence, but that
the records show that they did fight
with that loss. If in similar positions. all
of the two thousand regiments which were
well organized. welIdrilled and disciplined,
would have acquitted themselves as honor
ably as those IN the three hundred Inst. If
the fighting regiments had been restricted
TO those which lost two hundred killed
there would have been but forty-fve fight
ing reglments. and Indiana would have had
bot one. instead of thirteen. that one being
the Twentieth, which lost POI. leaving
the Nineteenth, which lost 199, and
the Twenty-seventh, which lost 169,
each of which was a slightly larger per-
centage than the loss of the Twentieth. it
being 15.9 per cent. of the enrolled men IN
the Nineteenth and 1873 per cent. in the
Twenty-seventh.
