BROOKLYN, Jan. 81

BROOKLYN, Jan. 81, 1873.
To the Editor of The american;
In THE AMERICAN Jan. 26, "Y" seems
to think "X' was prompted to make in
quiry in former issue from personal
feeling. Not SO, for to my personal
knowledge "X' has the best of feeling
personally toward every teacher in the
county.
We would all like to know il improve
ments have been made and abuses
remedied.
Think writing, in our schools, is very
much neglected IN majority of cases.
Before the "free text book" law was
made compulsory, our town voted to
furnish the school books, but after two
years trial changed and furnished books
at cost and to those who We're unable to
provide books they were supplied by the
town free of charge. Under the present
system your child may be given a book
that you would not handle except at
arms length, and with gloves on at that.
1t seems to me many things pertaining
to our common schools are carried to the
extreme. Our country schools cannot be
conducted on the same principles rs city
schools, We all know. The teacher W o
may be success in a city school oft-times
| fails in All ungraded country school. We
should all try to make success OF oui
schools, and any questions suggested
should not, in my opinion, be looked
upon as being prompted by personal feel
