OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

A STATEMENT FROM REV o. o. WRIGHT.
 Referring to brother J. J. Northrop's statement, last week, 1 do not consider his mere personal abuse as worthy of public notice. have made such refer ence only to our correspondence as was necessary to my apology. It is not mat ter of private, personal concern, but of public business.
 Now, if it is crawling" to correct 8 misstatement of fact, asking forgiveness of the one who claims to be misrepre- sented then, what is it to deny the truth until pubic proof is given, and then ac- knowledge it without any apology to any one?
 ''This cost of superintendence is easily explained" he says. Why not explain, then, at once? Why did it cost $744 99 to superintend the g departments in New town schools C94-'95) and only $629 to superintend 66 departments in the Dan, buy schools? Norwalk with 5S depart ments cost only S473.S4, that year. Greenwich, with 36 departments cost $405.35. Greenwich with 36 departments cost $405.35. Huntington, having 22 de partments, paid $l95 for superintendence Only two out of the g towns in Fairfield county, Bridgeport and Stamford, paid as much for superintendence of schools, that year, as Newtown!
 What was done with the peoples mon ey2 If the secretary of the board can eas fly explain it he may relieve the public mind and save further investigation "The mills of the gods grind slowly, bu: they grind exceeding small."-[O. O. Wright.
