At the last meeting of the Board of Trus- | tees of the Public Schools action was taken | fraught wita so serious consequences that it demands the consideration of all inter- | extea in the welfare of our public sehool system. A ruleof the board, which has ex- isted from the carliest times, gives to each | sub-board the power to nominates teachers in thetr respective districts, subject to con- firmation by hong eral board. The reason of the rnie and tts propriety are very evi- ; Gent. The members of the sub-board are | Supposed to visit the schools under their charge frequently, and to understaud the qualifications of the teachers, and they are | looked upon as responsible for the condition of theschools. Tuat there may have been cases in which personal friendship or sym- influenced them to retain teachers not tb; | Fayqualined is not impossible. Tae weak- | ness thet would lead to this is at least ami- | able. The change proposed was to amend the ruje so as to require the nominations of | lhe sub-board to be referred to Lhe committee On teachers for revision, in order that that | committee might weed out those considered incompetent. The amendment was lost, but, nevertheless, the nominations were referred by a majority vote. It ts to the result of this | action that we call the attention of our rea i- ling Brannan, | ers. The sub-boards, as appears from the | | record of the meeting, immediately maie pro forma nominations of tae entire list of last year, Aud upon the committee then de- volved the duty of revising the list. It will | b@ seen at once that tits relieved the sa'> boars of Lat any name na , ur have they? They repre t triets.

But it maybe sald thay they can obtain the opinion of the superintenieat. Bat is he infallible? Is be—whose visita to each school cannot average three-quarters of a school-day in a year—to be the final arbiter of the d ies of more than handrel teachers? is he more free from favoritism or prejudice than the trustees? From small beginuings these schools bave advanced to lnelr present condition, constantly increas- ing, not ouly in and all that gives vaiue. This progress hag de, not by violent changes or sudden ; » but by steady, regular and heaithy development. It has been made under ‘teachers appointed and coutinued | under the old system, which has led them to | look upon trustees as their friends, ready to | aid them by advice, counsel aud enesurage- ment, and when necessary by admonition and reproof. They have feit that while fidel- ity and efficiency would be foliowed by a: preciation and promotion, neglect, ine Clevcy or positive error would be piainly but Kindly reproved; and when a change was belleved to be necessary, that the reasons would be frankly stated to them and their feelings considered by giving them an o; portunity of resigning. As we have already said, mistakes may bave been made, but the general result has been favorable. Tno System has borne its fratts in that matual confidence between teachers and trustees which bas lnyptred those efforts watch have ae us schools of which we are justly proud. Bat now it is proposed to change the entire system. Instead of imposing the duty of making the recommendations upan the sad- beards, and holding them responsibie, it de- volves it upon @ committes, a large majority of whose members probably never even saw tue teachers on Whom Wey are to pass jadg- ment. Teachers are to be removed by those who never gave them advice, assistance or admonition, and who in secret session may listen to ail the charges that malic: aut, and yet afford no epportuaity foi fevse; a!l respon luy is avoided. “fuog canst not say I did it,” may be the reply of each member of this secret tribuaal whan remonstrated with for his action tofore trustees in some tase retaine i they can witli (rionds by sving langer is greater former, for ia that competent teach in this case by trop care upon the trastee who retained peient by best ner re ‘d system might feel that 8 inspired by 8 sense of duty to tie .guided by a Knowledge of its wants, what can ve his feelings, what the eif the morale of the entire corps, when a n when bodily mM ver faithfal— thoagh, perb: some respects deficir one is removed by the yote of those who court secrésy, and when the scale may have been tummed by the ballot of a trustee who has not made even a pretence of discharging the duties he had sworn So, and from the beginning to the end of the year has neg- lected to visit even the scbools under hisim- mediate charge? Against the ce! inaugurated we protest. nuded by nothing in the bistoryind present condition of our schools. It tends to substitute, on the pert of the teacher, servility for independ- ence, terror for trust, harrassing doubt for friendly confidence, thus replacing the mo. tives which inspire to cheerful and seif- sacrificing eflort by those whica destroy seif- — and chill all enthusiasm. On the part of the trustee, in the place of manly frankuess and firm discharge of duty, it offers tempta+ tion to and opportunity for acting in secret and striking in the dark. It destroys individ- ual responsibility, and substitutes the eva- siveness of the star chamber. It puts an end lo the division of pewer, and that lozal gov- ernment under which our schools have steadily improved, and ia Its place estab- lishes the most objectionable form of cen tralization by making the superintendent the arbitrator in the case of hundreds of teachers. It confers upon him an authority that cannot safely be entrusted to any man; and while he may protest that¢he has no wer, makes him practically Celt peed 18 =e. who are most interested. how- ‘Will not fail to place the responsibility t ion | and those who have watched the gradual absorption by one of- ficer, through the am ps or Ladifference of trustees, of a seemingly irresponsible dict? torship, will not be deceived, aad will joiw in our protest.
