' THE PUBLIC bCHOOLS A Cltlicn Discusses the Necessity of High Qrade. KniTOR Jquknai.: Is it necessary for the well being and prosjwrlty of the City of Salem to.haw very high grade free schools? lately there has been more or less commotion on the comment of tho above subject and question, 11 a citizen ami taxpayer venture to suggest a few re marks, whereby to express his own sen timents.

Uni SAVAGE RE1D Kl tad 111 I'otaintrcl-I Elrrct a good foundation Is necessary, and In nothing Is a good foundation more ttr" gently needed than for good clthenalilp. A good citizen gives us a good neighbor, and Is n needed quantity for the com munity. That education is the founda tion of good cltircnshtp will hardly be disputed by anyone except ho bo a sav- age. Yet tlioro is a limit In what is right and absolutely indispensiblo in public and free schools; perfect reading, writing, grammar, orthography, arith metic, goography, ancient and modern history, and in addition to tho above a littlo code or manuel of civility to im press tho mind of tho scholar, teach him good manners and polish his vulgarity and rudonoss, especially when ho does not got It at home. This last Item Is badly needed in our schools. Tho abovo seems to tho writer of this to bo a vory good foundation for the ac complishing and perfecting of citizen ship, from tho farmer and laborer up to the highest dignitary of the land and a vory substantial preliminary for all callings also. Let tho school directory consist of honest and able judges, and !o absolute, ly freo from all political and sectarian preferment In electing teachers. These teachers, in addition to tholr ability in scholarship and competency in teaching to bo also honest, moral, mannerly and capable to engraft good manners in pu pils; such manners ate by no moans the last necessity to orfcct good cltlzoushlp. Givu Bitch teachers, subject to prescribed rules, absolute control over the scholars; and let those who have uncontrolablo Senate Committee on Affairs It Is to bo u government cablo. children take them to the reformatory If thoy prefer. Ofcourso, all political and sectarian Inllueneo should be debarred. And dually, let the prpspectivo doctors, jour nalists, merchants, bankers, preachers, agriculturists, horticulturists, and the whole hoat of tho various callings, who, having received these preliminary ele ments of education freu, look for tholr respective additional and Mulshing, needs themselves. It Is rather unfortunate that our dis trict Is under such a heavy burden of debt and Is a grunt detriment to the City of Salem. If those bonds were contract. ed to build somo catching attrastlous It was a deplorable mistake, Tho sub stantial prospective settler is not slow to discover tiiireasouubly high taxation and to avoid it. Tim fact is that the debt exists and teaches or dictates to us that we should lie economical and not so ex travagant as to go beyond what is rigut and reasonably necessary. P. V. Badly Injured.
