EDUCATIONAL UNIFICATIoE.
The Regents address the Governor, the
Legislature and the People

A special meeting Of the executive committee
or the Regents of the University OF the State OF
New-York. attended also by other Regents in the
city, was held in this city on Wednesday, at the
home Of whitelaw Reid, the vice-Chancellor OF
the University. After disposing of some minor
and routine business, consideration was given to
the question Of educational legislation desired
from this session of the legislature. and espe-
cisily such would unity the educational sys-
TEN OF the state. The conclusion reached by the
executive committee that the ends desired
could be attained in no other way so effectively
by uniting the present two educational de-
partments-the Regents OF the University and
the Department Of Public Instruction--under the
supervision and control of the Regents, and the
committee prepared and issued appeal to the
Governor, legislature and people. The appeal
has received the approval OF every elective
Regent whose opinion ohtainable. three
members not having been reached, as yet The
appeal is follows
To the Governor. the Legislature and the People Of
the State OF Hew-York:
Recent manifestations Of the evils arising from
the existing dual system Of State supervision OF

duty to take and keep the schools out of politics

ANOTHER VIEW OF ADVERTISING cURi-
OSITlES.
"a N. Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir. 1 have been very much interested in your
.ornu71lrica tions respecting tho manner In which
certain ne1spap apers rates to obtain advertising
but II seems to me that your correspondents have
missed the essential point. So far the advertiser
,s concerned naturally he has no objection 10 the
cutting Of rates but. the contrary. is pleased,
ike any other purchaser, TO get his wares at lower
rates than have prevailed. II is only when he dis
covers that certain of his competitors have obtained
the advantage OF those cut rates from which he
is barred that feels indignant against the pub
Usher.
That such situation prevails in respect to at
least one newspaper in New-York is well known
to those Who familiar H1th the advertising
sit,Is tiou in the local field
The newest method seems to be to give special
rate TO certain big advertisers to lay the
basis for a claim TO big space in that Held. By
denying that special arrangements have been MADE
which is easy enough when they known only
m the publisher and his customer and then shout
those advertisers who nor prepared 10 believe
that the publisher is indulging such methods are
rnisled into believing that the gains have bee n
obtained on a legitimate basis. a result OF the
improved value Of the medium,
certain advertisers were to purchase their Inet-
chandise as unwisely they purchase their adVer.
tising the increase in failures in New YORK WOULD
be phenomenal ONE w hO hINCFft-
