Gloucester County Democrat., 1900-03-01

This bill is entitled IAN act to establish q
system of public instruction, ,, but it seems
to us that that title should be supple
mented By the words, "by and with the
aid OF the party caucus. Two provisions
seem to us especially obnoxious-that by
which members are elected at the annual
municipal election and that creating a
Board of School Estimate to appropriate
money. The first provision insures politi-
cal boards of education, the second takes
from the people direct responsibility for
the maintenance of their public schools.
Further, it makes the Roard of Education
a minority in the Board of Estimate. y
These two provisions stamp the commission
that sanctions them as possessing all conf
dence that the party caucus will e1 ercise
greater wisdom in the selection of Boards
of Education than the unpolitlcai school
meeting; and possessing distrust of the
people in voting aieql late appropriations
for the support of their own public schools
In the large cities it may be that the
public meeting must be abandoned and
that the party caucus and common council
are the best substitutes, but 10 small cities
where eveiy citizen three years resident
is known to every other citizen, the people
will more surely select those best suited to
serve them in their school boards, and at
the same time provide the m cans to main
tain free public schools.
We find this criticism of the bill In the
Jersey City Journal:
Senate No. 80 is an improvement on
the bill presented by the commission last
year, and the members of the commission
deserve credit for the changes they have
made in it, but il is still Objectionable in
many particulars. The main objection to
it is the undisguised bureaucratic tendency
displayed in all its part. 1t makes every
thing ~ the State subservient TO the State
Board of Education and that is a danger
GUS feature.H
The Journal speaks from the standpoint
of city of the first class, and OF features
which we have not yet had time to in
yestigate. but from our standpoint the
main objection to the law is the proposal to
have the schools run by the party caucus
and boards far removed from the control OF
the people.

BROWNE, of school book fame, has
made very weak Denial of the in
dlctment against him. He says his
effort was disinterestedly in favor of
home industry and to thwart the
book trust" Very good. If he was
honest in his desire for local COMPETE
tons why did he not publicly, ask the
educators and publishing firms Of the
state to do the work instead of select
ing two or three persons to write the
books, and agreeing that they would
be accepted. Why not make it open
TO competition, il he would avoid q
"book trust OF his own. And then
