as a purveyor Of Rratuitous instruction.
Up 10 the time when change was made by
the Revised Statutes. Columbia College
offered free tuition practically without
limit In the School Of Arts and In the School
Of Mines. and. In case Of need. q reduction
Of one-third was made In the tuition fees
Of the Law School. Now, by the Revised
Statutes. no free tuition can be granted to
any one during the FIRST year of his connec-
tlon with the university, unless he holds
one Of the endowed scholarships. OF which
there are but twelve, all told. After the
first year, however. every faculty. except
the medical one, IL authorized to grant
free or reduced tuition to the extent Of 10
per cent. Of the number Of students In Its
department, on the ground Of ability. char
acter. and need combined. The result last
year was that, outside Of the holders Of the
twelve endowed scholarships, Columbia
College granted free tuition to 1os students
in different parts Of the university, and re-
duced tuition to nine others.
The growth Of the library Of Columbia
College Is unquestionably gratifying. At
the end OF the academic year IL was COM
puted to contain 100000 bound volumes.

library within q twelvemonth and. during

$4,000. In addition to the donations for
the library. the Treasurer Of the College
has received during the last year upward
OF S135.OO0 for various educational pur-
poses. besides $1os.ooo contributed for the

annual prize has been established by Mr..
JAMES GORDON BENNETT to be awarded to
that member Of the senior class who shall
prepare the best essay on some subject OF
contemporaneous interest IN the domestic
or foreign policy OF the United States. The

Must the City Go in Debt for the
Schools2

Schools?
Comptroller FrTCHis acting In the inter
ests Of tho people in opposing the bill now
before the Legislature at Albany. giving to
the Board Of Education an extra appropria-
ton OF s2.5Oo. 200. to be added to the bonded
debt OF the city.
for about thirty thousand more children
than are In the habit OF attending the
schools. though more than one-third OF
that number are shut out because Of the
lack OF accommodations for them. The
reason for this La that the removal Of popu-
lation from certain downtown districts has
left an over supply Of school sittings. while
the rapidity Of the growth OF the upper
wards has not been accompanied by q par
allel increase in the adjacent school accom-
modations. Children must go to schools
near their homes or they are deprived Of
the benefits Of public instruction; and hence
the thirty thousand unoccupied seats Of
which Comptroller FITCH speaks are mere
waste room.
A large part Of the room in the school,
houses which tho Board Of Education
wants to build with the extra appropria-
ton 1t is begging from the Legislature
would be wasted likewise. 1t would be used
IN providing accommodations for o small
number Of upper-class pupils pursuing
courses OF study from which the great
mass OF the children Of the town are ex-
Guided by the circumstances of-thelr lives.
In the schools generally. the multitude are
crowded or are actually driven out In
order to make place for the few. Tho
youngsters learning their A b C's are
huddled together In Easements to mako
room for older scholars occupying large
and airy rooms under costly teachers. II
the schoolhouses were simply for the legiti-
mate purpose OF giving the most element
sry instruction required by the mass. and
not to furnish further and an ornamental
education. the School Commissioners would
not need to be going to the Legislature
asking for permission to increase the bonded
debt Of the city.
The proper course for the Board OF Edu.
cation Ii to consolidate tho schools In the
lower part OF the town. and thus release Q
large part Of their teachers. 30 that they
may be sent to districts where their SER
vices are required. and then to devote
its whole attention and all the money at
its command to furnishing the facilities
for the primary education demanded by
the great majority Of the children Of the
city. To this end IL should transform every
school into . primary school. SO that II any
shall be excluded from the benefits Of pub
Lie instruction they shall no longer be those
whose rightto them Ii most unquestionable.
In other words, the so-called grammar
school grades ought to DO made subordinate
in Importance to the primary departments.
instead OF receiving tina first consideration
OF the Board Of Education and the prepon-
deranoe OF Its money expenditure. II that
Is done the public debt will not have to be
increased to support the public schools.
