THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

The Governor having signed the bill author
iznc bond issue of 81, SOC, 900 for the establish
ment of four high schools in this city. no ma
terjal obstacle remains in the way of that edu-
cational advance. The opposition which so long
availed to prevent the inclusion Of high schools
in our system Of public instruction has not en-
tirely disappeared nor can II be expected to 90
so until a fair trial shall have indicated the
wisdom of the new departure. This is true not
merely because so strenuous a contention is not
eosilv abandoned but also because there Is
force in the arguments Of those who hold that
high schools. Mt least I'm New-York, which affords
numerous opportunities for advanced students
and supports a free college, are not in con-
formity with q reasonable view Of what the gem
eral welfare requires and the public treasury
can properly provide. 1t has been earnestly ana
sincerely maintained that large sum OF money
ought not to be exacted from taxpayers to fur
nish educational facilities which only small
minority can take advantage Of; that the COM
munitv has done enough when it has supplied
all with the means of a sound grammar-schooi
education. and that those who laudably desire
more than that should not be enabled to obtain
It ut the general expense.
If 1t were true that high schools benefited only
those who attend them, this argument might
be conclusive. But they are not advocated alto
gether or even primarily on that ground. They
are defended as legitimate and an essential
part of the publc-school system for the reason
that when they are so conducted as to perform
their true function they are like the Keystone
of an arch, which binds its fellow members to-
gether and is indispensable to the support or
the superstructure. 1t Is a commonly accepted
fact in other cites that the high school is very
far from being mere ornament OF the educa'
tional establishment, which could be displaced
without disturbing the parts below 1t or the So
cial fabric above There it is valued not wholly
for its own sake, but chiefly for the Influence
which II exerts in maintaining a standard. 1t
is an object of general pride, promoting Interest
and ambition in lower grades and in the COM
munity at large.
There Is no obvious reason why similar re-
suits should not follow the establishment OF high
schools In New York. provided only that they
are kept wholly above the reach of unworthy In
fluences Thus far the school authorities have
eyinced not only the determinations but the ca
pacity to resist pressure in support OF the claim
that they ought not TO 60 outside of New-1ork
for hgh-school principals Their view is tnat
we want the best principals we can get. ana that
uualific cations already demonstrated should de
tate the choice. We hope they Will adhere 10
that sound position.
