On this subject the superintendent remarks: The presont condition of oar schools, whilo it , is by no means all that we would like to have r" Jt in a great many particulars though tho school houses nro not what they ought to lie in the grrat majority of cases yet, when we compare the schools of tho present with the schools of the past, tho former make a very croditilde showing. Iniight speak of improve, inent in the modes ami methods of teaching in many respects. In particular, the text books are lwtterj they are taught more intelligently and with more direct reference to tho develop jnout of tho reasoning and perceptive faculties of the children. While there not only may le but are,. many instances where cramming is practiced, 1 regret to acknowledge it, yet the instances are fewer tlian formerly. While im-llu-ii'iicv sits enthroned in many school houses though tho land, yet wo lave a far greater ratio of good teachers to-day tlian ovejr before in tho history of the Stato. They are doing better and more conscientious work than las been done heretofore, ami mo tendency is wwanls ami toe leacuers snow a cuiiiiiiruiia- 1,1.. v.i1 in their effort to nrenare themselves to discharge the responsible duties of their position ina more viiieient manner. Of l.ntn the imblie schco's nf tho tatd and the stemof free popular education iugenml have W" subjected to a slurp, aud not iu i i .... . i 'l. P every instance friendly, fusillndo of criticism and denunciation on the part of the press of the Statcntidsutidrycorropoudcnts. ctasn gen eral thingwhcntlieachoolshavo been putto the test, it has lieun clearly shown that tho me thods and system of tho schools of the present, whilo they are not what wo could desire iu every respect, yet, when they are compared, especially with the schools of the past, they Hindu n favorable showing. So severely have our schools K-en criticised, and more especia lly thu high schools nnd "tho system, tho "cramming processes" of the nchouU of the present time, that nt last an nual school meeting iu tho city of I'ortland, iu otiler to investigate thw.c charges and n eel Ulu whether they were wull grounded, a competent committee was appointed by the school meeting and uivon ample timo to in vestigate thu matter so far as the city of Port land wni concerned, nnd after having devoted four mouths to the subject nnd thoroughly oxamiiicd nil thu charges and criticisms they submitted thu following reiot't nt nn ndjourn cd school meeting, July 1'Jtli, 1S;0 HKI'llUT OF INVKMTKI.VUMI roMMITTKK.

Iu order to obtain clear nnd detiuite views, each subject was sub-divided and a series of nucstiuiis iirenanil and assigned to live Muli-committens, who were requested to examine every peint named nml make a sKcinl rejiort.

Tho sentiment iu favor of public schools f improved quality and gnules gaii-1-.l force by these national aud State grants, nt that successive legislature hae lUi-d by law the least, but not the highest courses of study to JMi purueii in tnu piiiuio schools.

Sai.km, Dec. 24, 1SS0. Kditor Willamctto Karmtrt I know your diniiosition toif well to suppose you will not allow mo a little space iu refer encfl to this great piojevt when my vlewt do not coincide w itli your own. Tho status of tho two canal projects nro nliiiut as follows! The Panama canal project in n tlxed fact. Its bonds nro nllsu1icrib-l for dud a part is paid down. tXothing can stop it but the interference of the United States (iovernment. On tho other hand the bonds of Nicarrngua project aro not vet even ollcrcd for sale It is not prouiblo either that they will Ihj sold until after tho l'.uiama canal Is built nnd it should bo seen that ouu canal Is not sullieirut to do thu buriuess. Since then tho Panama canal project can only lio (Tippled or stopped by a threatening and forbiJding xilicy of our goTcrniucut, I ask tho ipiesthui, "Is It wm;1o liitrfrro!' 1 say nn! Wo havo everything to lose hud noth ing to gain. In the lirst place wo stall lose the ruspect of ever) nation and mwer of Kurope iu inter ferine with n ir- Ject Iwstid entirely within a foreign country, nnd pel haps entail a war with foreign powers. Soum-illy It is not at all proU'iblo that if wo succeeded iu gu'tiug tho Panama canal to discontinue operations that the t'niteil Mates will be nblo to build the 'Kicarragiu vaiinl. The ivto of interest is too high iu thu United States for sullicient money to be iilacod iu the Xicarr.n.'11-i scheme, and we could hardlT look for fun-ign capital to build up a canal under the control oi thu United Mlatcs lioveriunciit, exclusively. The l'auami route was selected by Do Ixs seps mil the Paris Congres of l-'ngineers, be cno it was the best routo, in their jiidgmciit, and their judgment uai -co.ilirmed by mer chants and capitalists all over tho world, iu the sieedy purchase of nil tho stock within a few days, The Panama route, although costing a little more (perhaps no more) than tho Xicnrr.igu. is tlu.-'lest, lor two reasons principally, and they are of ureat importance to our wht.it In teres ts of tho i'acifie Const i Kirst, the Pana ma route will atliird, when lomplete, draught ol waier sullicient lor the passage oi me deep. -t l.ilien Traill veswli- twinty-M-veu feet-whllo-t'iio Xicarragua would only allow vessels drawing twenty-four feet to pasi.not suOlcieut fur our deejiest 1-ideu wheat visuels, .S.i-ondly. thu ibllay in pawing tho links of the Nk-nrra-gun route nectssarily so very lirge, and nd hitting only ouovcsclut atinie -would bow. gieat ns to prevent any cnnsiib ruble iiumlx t of vein'! pasaiug. Tho Panama iiin.il has no locks uliI lieneo there will Ui no limit to the amount of lmiueM which can bo done through it. It is title that the veh-cl pasjin'j through tho Panama canal will be mostly steameri'.but not more than tho Xicirragua, It is a mis taVe to irjiKi that our grain will not Ixi car ried on httiim-rH to Kiirope, On the contrary, sUamers ill seven thousand tonsctpacity wili carry our grain from Astoria to Liverpool el-K-r than poiih!u by nail. The voyage will Ixj about thirty ihys. judging! from tiiu tinw of the largo freight steamers of the At lantiu and )bidit'rraiieaii. The Puiiuina Canal Company have taken hold in a manner that excite our admiration. They ak no laud grants nor suUidk-i of us, and I hope that our Senators and )!e(ircscuta the will simply let it alone, Respectfully yours, TllANsrouTATION STChK.NT. Answi.h. First, We do not concede that the Wills and stock of the Panama canal havo all been sold, as claimed. Second, The amount of 300,000,000 francs will not half complote the canal, ami there is great fear that the scheme may proyo so im practicable, as te lxi aWidoued when years have been wasted on it. Third, We lav. confidence in tlie report of Admiral Ammen, and other Americans who havo pronounced in favor of Nicarragua over Panama, ami believo that if the American scheme is commeuced aud pushed the other will bo abandoned. Fourth, This i really an American project aud American have a perfect right to carry it through and show their confidence iu their own judgment. rifth.

Of i-so the locks and cnnnl can bo made of size h nccomnioilato any ships our commcrco ma Uthiaiid.

Seventh, If thu people of tho United States atniid ready, ns claimed, to take up SliOO.tKX), 000 guveinmciit 3 jht cent Imnds, nt par, the rate of" interest in the United States is as low as niy where in tho word, nnd money will not lio lacking to carry out this great scheme. Kfghth, Tho Americans who tnko hold of this S;reat scheme are men wucan rely on much nioro'tlian on Dol.esseps. They h ivu tho mon ey to build tho canal with) they litvu mature business sense) they wont be apt to throw away their money, nnd (lencr.il (Iniut will nut lend himself ton scheme that has no Wittom.
