HIGH SCHOOLS AND OTHERS.

The establishment of a number of high schools
IN this city. of which some detailed account is
given on another page of to-day's paper, will go
far toward filling what is literally "long-felt
want in the educational system of New-iork.
1t will not fill IT, because the three four schools
now proposed will not nearly supply the demand
for such institutions. There ought to be, and
doubtless soon will he. twice as many. Never

and semnarles and preparatory schools were

There can be no question that this has been
detrimental to It's higher interests. The prepara
tory department has hampered the regular col
lege department. and the latter has not been
able TO do as good work as though 1t were freed
from the former.
The high schools Will thus relieve it. and on
that ground are to be cordially welcomed. But
that Is not the chief ground. High schools are
