Whug sojourning _ in Tennesse he dajted the only school) m the neighborhood, which had been founded by three Jadica of Mas- sachusetta, The colored people there spoke the language unintelligibly. The government geuer- ously undertook to snpport and edncate them, Ne was appointed Commissioner in accordance with the law passed forming the Freedmen’s Bureau, He es- tablished @ general system of schouls by appointing superintendents for each State, and from the sae- cess of this Movement there are now 5,000 schools and upwards of 250,000 pupils, mainly comprised of the children of freedmen. General ioward gave us no farther infoymation about bis mission, but fat- tered the Christian constancy and «lisinterested en- ergy of the teachers sent by the Co to edu- cate the negroes, He recommenied the organization of a elmila’ system of public schools in the South as exist in Ohio and Massachusetts, The speaker vou- cluded by threatening dire consequenees-on the Le- gisiature of fennessee shonid they repeal tne sciooi Jaw of that Sate as threatenad, A meeting of the ladies of the association was ealied for this morning, eigtit Oclock, to discuss Miss Beecher’s paper on “Woman's Rights,” in the nature of establishing educational institutions for their exciusive use.

AP per Waa then read by the Hon. Joseph White, LL. D., secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, on “Christianity in tae Puolic Schools.” The speaker quoted 1: ly irom Mans- field, Raymond and Kent, to prove that. Christianity ought to be the fonndation of aii education, and Toaintaiped that @ religious course of instruction, without sectarianism, could be maintained ip public schools. Judge Fix» observed that it 1s impossible to teach religion in public schoois without destroying them; but he who would have Christianity taught in public achools must have his foundation in the history of the Bibie; that if you uudertake to teach it thoroughly you must teach it bonestiy; you mast feack the whole or tie Kew Testament, You caunot give technica) religious instruction in our public schools, Although public schools are sectional schoois you must cling to them, ‘Techaical regions instruction, if introduced, would be betcer than no religion. But leave the State the secular part of the education and the Church tne religious. Judge Field endorsed the saying of Napoleon, “Give me he selection of the teachers of a nation and I want no more.” He approved of the plan pur sued in Ireland aud other places to have the children taught religion in schools nt fixed times by ciergymen professing siuilar religions persuasions. One religion cannot be taught, nor was it ever in- vended, nor is it desirable. Any man who objects to pablic schools on the ground that they are not reli- gious schools 16 a foe to popular education, Mr, hh NE Massachusetts, denied that he pleaded for technical religious education. When- ever he went into a fan, schoo! he entered as @ Christian; oat in building up this country on the firm foundation of a Christian education we caunot come down to the croakings of sectarianism. Rey, Mr, LOCKWOOD, of New Jersey, coincided with Judge Field, In the Soutu religious teachers alone Were suecessfi) in teaching freedmen, and we need in every teacher @ person of decply religions sensibility. Mr. Waite, of Onio, argned that the Catholies contended for thelr Chureti coming tu un the sehol- astic colture of their children. He agreed that wilough technical education coald not be given in pubilc sehools, you cannot have the sign “No aduils- sion for God here” embiazoned ov their portals, Such a course if pursaed by # teacher would under- inine ail appeals to morality and brand him as an atheist, We must, however, resist the exclusion of the ible aud the idea that there cannot be a system of religion in pudite schools Which cannot trample on the rights of conkeieuce.
