TOP HEAVY SCHOOLS.
During the discussion of the dis
trict appropriation bill in the sen
ate recently, says the Washington
Post, Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island
moved: to strike out the appropria
tion of $100,000 for a new building
and site, for the Business High
school,- andTamend ""so- as to make
the clause read: "To enable , the
commissioners ot . the District lot
Columbia to afford better facilities
for elementary and industrial edu
cation in the District of Columbia,
$100,000.'-'
In speaking to this amendment,
which he favored, Mr. Chandler of
New Hampshire, without express
ing a decided opinion one way or
the other as to whether or not there
should be a Business High school
attached to the common school sys
tem of the District, said:
'Although my inclination is to
vote for every, proposition that
looks to a better education of the
children of this country, and, al
though I feel unwilling at this
moment to vote to strike down a
business college, a business high
school or an industrial school, or a
high school of any kind, yet I am
inclined to think that it is an open
question worthy of consideration
by congress and the American peo
ple, whether there is not danger
that we are carrying the common
school system and education there
under too high and too far; whether
it may not come to be advisable to
restrict the common school system
of the country to such schools as
are required by the great mass of
the children, and not to extend
that system by high schools, in
dustrial schools and by business
schools to a small class of the child
ren of the country in order to give
them a higher and bettor education
t!ia.n is given to the great body of
the children of the country."
In these remarks a great question
is opened. It is whether the gov-,
eminent, as Gail Hamilton states
the proposition, should bestow as a
free gift the luxuries of a higher
education, or limit its support to
the requirements of what is com
monly understood as a common
school or rudimentary education.
A great deal can be said in behalf
of a business course of schooling
which does not apply to a classical
or collegiate course, but the danger
is, and is coming to be. pretty
generally -recognized, that in en.r
larging, or rather elaborating the
educational facilities of the public
schools far the benefit of the com
paratively few, we may not in some
way detract from the thoroughness
and completeness of the facilities
which belong as a right to th.e nany
or in other words., give to non.
essenti&ris oyer, essentials an undue
prominence. The point was well

pnt a day or two ago by the Phil
.adeJphhRecord, which says,.,
"The heaviest item of expendi
ture ei'tlieronl the.part of glocal
treasuriesor oat of' the funds of the
state is foe the support of the com
mon schools. The first and most
important end to be attained by
this expenditure is, or should be,
to give every child in the state-the
advantage of a soifind rudimentary
trainincr. The fMipifc ouffht to be
taugrht to read 4 iritelliirently, to
write legibly, to understand arith
metic, and to have a general know
ledge of geography. It will aston
ish any person who will take the
trouble to make an investigation
to see how few of the graduates of
even the higher grades in the com
riioiLschools can read, write, spell
and cipher withvapy- degre? of
facility or accuracy. The whole
tendency of common school instruc
tion seems to be to jump over
proper rudimentary instruction and
to make up in high school, varnish
for the lack ot more solid acquire
ment." ' " ,
What our esteemed Philadelphia
contemporary has observed as to
the deficiencies of many graduates
of the higher schools is readily
appreciable to all who will take the
trouble to inquire into the subject,
it is true here"!in the District of
Columbia, as it is in the city of
Philadelphia. It is true of the best
public schools of the country,
among which the district schools
hold prominent rank. So that with
out questioning the value ot the
accomplishments to be obtained in
the higher schools by those who
can afford the time te become their
beneficiaries, there is reason to
doubt the wisdom of any policy
that tends to broaden at the tp
while, narrowing at the foundation.
It is safe to assert as the opinion
of a great majority of all intelligent
educators, and friends of education
that if we would strengthen our
common school system' to its ut
most capacity and extend its use
fullness to the widest limits possi
ble, we must neglect nothing to
popularize it in the minds of the
people at large..
It is the rudimental instruction
imparted at these schools through
which the greatest good accrues to
the greatest number.
It is the fundamental training
here received for the better dis
charge of'the duties and responsi
bilities of life that most indissolu-
bly knits the commdn sdiool system
to the confidence, respect and last
ing; gratitude of our American
youth, and year by year enrolls
them bv thousands and, tens of
thousandramong its stanchest and
'most uncompromising defenders.
Too much care cannot be taken
not to weaken the base of this mag
nificent systent'by anything in the
natureof.auit superstructure.
