12 POPULAR EDUCATION. luitial Meeting of the Department of Public Instruction. Election of Officers—Addreeses by Commissioners Van Vorst, Smyth, Sands, Bell, Gross and ‘Wood—Radical Reforms in the School System Recommended. ‘The Department of Pubitc Education having been Moorporated in the municipatity, and we Board of Education having died & peaceful death, the Commissioners of Public instruction appointed by the Mayor met yesterday to organize te new de- partment. The proceedings commenced by the reading of an order from the Mayor appoluting Bernard Smyth, Timothy Brennan, Sumnuel A. Lewis, Wiliam C, Dur- | yea, William Wood, Hooper ©, van Voorst, Nathaniel Sands, Magnus Gross, Nathaniel Jarvis, Jr., Loring Ingersoll, Francis A. Palmer and Isaac Bell, Com- missioners of the new department for the full term, Juage Van Voorst waS then chosen chairman pro tem., andon taking the chatr gave a résumé of the history of education m New York, closing with menilon of the labors and successes of the late Board. ‘The Commissioner began by saying that govern- ments are safe and sirong ™ proportion as they edu- cate wisely. It is not safe to leave education to the affection or mterest of parents or to voluntary benevolence, The State should appoint the best known agencies for the education of its ciuzens. In States where the whole power rests upon tae people, thorough tmiteliectual and moral education is of the frst importance. In France there are thirty-eight millions of people, eleven millions of whom cannot read. The senti- ments of the people of New York upon the subject ‘of pablic tnstraction early developed in a wise State policy. Governor Clinton, in 1792, called the atten- Uon of the State Legislature Zo the subiect, and flity thonsand dollars were appropriated. In 1798 schools. were established in most of the counties of the State of New York, aud fifty theuxand children were Instracted at the public expense. The pubdlic money expended in america now for tree schoels exceeds ten million dollars, and mine bundred and seventy thousand children attend the common scnoeis, To such mag- nitude has the public school system grown 10 this State in sixty years. The history of public educa- tuon in this city commences with the Public School Society, which In 1853 was disorganized by an act of the Legislature, a part of the trustees becoming members of the Board of Educa- tou, and property the value of — sixty thousand dollars passing under the control ol the Board. This Board of Education has estab- lished ninety-four primary schools, containing 66,008 obiidren, ahd ehty-nine grammar scnools, with 36,000 children. The system of education has in ‘view a tour years’ course in the College of New York for males, and for females a course in the Normal College, The nutaber of schools is 221, besides fifty corporate schoois, partly under the supervision of the Board, The Board of Education has done its Work, apd It must be conceded ihat If was a good work, well done. As Commissioners of the Board of Udueation our duty 1s no More and no less, There is betore us a term of five years, to bo devoted to the cause of education and the good of the State. We should not be one-sided, but give to every depart. ment of education its just proportion of interest, not forgetting the religious element, the development of which is 80 essential to a harmonious character, alter Judge Van Vorst’s address Mr. Woop pro- posed Mr. Bernard Smyth as PRESIDENT OF THE DEPARTMENT, taking the occasion to speak of Mr. Suay'h’s admirabie qualities as presiding ofloer, his strict rmtegrity and tice to every member of the late Board and has tion to the cause of education. The Cominissioners proceeded to ballet for Presi- dent, and Mr. Smyth was elected by teu vows against one. On takmg the chatr Mr, SMYTH expressed his sense of the honor conferred upon him by te Com- missioners in electing Din president for the third time ana his appreciauon of the responsibilities of the position. Mr. NATHANTEL SANDS Next addressed the Com- missioners, detailing the special departments of Public Instruction ander their control, viz.:—DPhe College of the City of New York, with an atvendance of 800 students; the Normal College, ‘With 1,100 femaje pupils in course of preparation for teachers; 117 schools, divided into 67 grammar schools, 41 primary schools, 6 colored achoois and is corporate schools, with av attendance vo! over 200,000 scholars. The twelve Commissioners who are here to-day, proceeded Mr. Sands, stand before the people of this city and county respousibie for tue wise and faithful discharge of this GREAT AND SACRED TRUST. It is not sufficient to be honest and economica! in the use of the public trust; we must also be wise, active and progressive. It is not the prison, the criminal court, the police or the scaffold that will most eflectualiy remove crimimais from society, but a Wise and thorough system of puplic instruction. The great question comes home to us With a force that is irresistible. Is there no better way of develop- tog the intellectual and moral powers of this great aciny of children and youth than the way we have been pursuing for such a jong veriod’ Leading winds in Bugiand, headed by such men as Huxley, Herbert Spencer, Tyndall: im fuct scientiie and thoughtfa! men in all countries have a firm faith that We are some day to grasp the intellectual chart ‘that will guide us salely to a clear Knowledge of THE LAWS OF MENTAL GROWTH; at through these laws we shail be able teach the young how ww hold and use wisely and successfully.

Yention given to the It is a waste of ime and mental strength to devote so years to the detatis of geography. iy Fvotessor Yeomans says:—“It appears that to secure DISCIPLINARY USES OF GRAMMATICAL STUDY not even a foreign language Is necessary, much less adead one. Wnen it ts remembered that the He- brew lang hada no grammar till a thousand years after Christ; that the masterpieces of Greek literature were produced before Aristotle first laid the gramumatical foundations of that language; that the Romans acquired the Greek without grammati- cal aia, bs reading and conversation; that the most emment scholars of the Middle Ages and later, Al- fred, Abelard, Beauclerc, Roger Bacon, Chaucer, and Dante, Latin scholars, who have never since been surpassed, learned this language without the assistance of grammar: when we recall facts like these, we can begin to rate at something like their true value the claims of the grammatical stady of defunct forms of speech for mental training. In view of such eminent aathorives and the universal experience of all educators, we are certainly safe in making some radical changes at once. { wonid re- spectiully invi'e the attention of the Committee on Course of Studies to this subject. Mr. BELL next addressed the Commissionera on the sabject o| the Normal College. He sald that soon alter the mization of the Board of Educa- Uon, under the law of 1869, the members became ; convinced of the necessity of a normal institution, and the committee on normal evening and col- ored schools was empowered by tne Board to prepare a@ series of bylaws a normal and high school, and suitable buildings for its use. The butlding at the corner of Fourth street and Broadway, was accordingly fitted up, and a stat of professors and ‘ators appointed, selected mainly from the teachers in the public schools, On the 14th day of February, 1570, 1,068 pupils of tne female grammar schools were admitted by competitive examination to the Normal College (then Known asthe Normal and High Scnvol). Thus A GREAT REVOLUTION IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM was effected; and we are happy to know, from the testimony of parents and children, that this change has received their unanimous approbation, No complaints have reached the committee or the Board, nor have apy appeared in the pub ic press. A course of study was adopted, wide in its scope and usetul alike to the student and teacher. We propose not only to prepare teachers for their work, ut to impart to them such a Knowledge of French, German, music and drawing as will enable us to dispense with special teachers of these subjects, which have always been @ great source of expense to the Board, The average attendance ef the Normal College has been almost 1,000 since its establish. ment, and the attendance and punctuality of the students have been remarkably good. There are over 1,000 in the college at the present ume. Ninety-seven were graduated last June and twenty-four Jast February—making 121 since the foundation of the college. Some have been com- pie to leave on account of sickness and others ause thelr parents removed to other States.and cities, The president of the college became con- vinced that ne normal institution could be tho- roughly effective without a training school. He, therefore, recommended to the commitice the estab- lishment of such a school, and they secured No, 17 St. Mark’s place, in which about the beginning of Jast September A MODEL PRIMARY SCHOOL was established under Miss M. L. Doake and five critic teachers selected impartially from among the graduates of the Normal College. These positions were granted, like ali the others, solely on the | pre of merit, The Model Primary commenced its work afew days after the o} of the other public schools—com menced with nothing, and has gradually fore. up to have in attendance at the present time about two hundred pupils. These pupus are thoroughly and well taught. The young ladies from the senior classes, in divisions of twenty at a time, teach in the model schooi under the eyes and tnstraction of the principal and critic teachers. Criticisms are sent by the princtpa! to the president of the Normai College, who makes them the bases of lectures on school government, the methoas of in- struction, &c. This model school, a5 Well as the cul- lege, is doing an excellent work. ir. GROSS made a short speech men, the necessity of broader and deeper education. He believed in a free education for all, and that talent in any station 1n life should have the opportunities for the highest culture, Free EDUCATION I8 PURLIO MORALITY, The responsibiiities of the Board he considered to be great, but, whatever errors there had been of judg- luent, he challenged anybody to prodace any evi- dence of want of probity. Mr. Woop agreed with Mr. Sands in regard to (amma: and referred to a resolution offered to the vd by bimselt-in regard to taking the study of analysis from certain classes. He gave some amus- ing Sllustrations of the folly of requiring children to repeat what they can’t understand, anatyz- ing sentences and applying rules that he atirmed he could not understand and didn’t be- lieve any member of the Board could. He objected to the present style of reading book, and suggested that “Robinsen Crusoe,” irving’s works or some- thing interesting be put in place of tne stull now given to the children. He referred to the report of the City Superintendent that Ca Day puplis had been expelled in a month, and asked WHERE WOULD THESE CHILDREN GO? He thought that teachers should not have the bai to expel pupils without the knowledge of the ard. A resolution was introduced and carried that Lawrence D. Kiernan be Clerk of the Department {| of Pubiic Instruction; that Joh Davenport be Audi- tor, pertorming the Clerk’s dut! in his absence. The following gentlemen were appointed to the oflices annexed to their names:—Supervisor of Buildings, Amnon Macvey; Engineer of the Board, Step ren O’Brien; R. J. O’Sallivan, M. D., puysician. President SMYTH then announced the fellowing as the standing committees of the Boa Finance Commitiee—Messrs, Bell, Wood, Palmer, Brennan and Lewis. Teachers’ Commutiee—Messra. Gross, Sauds and wis.

A resoiution was adopted transferring aii matters pending before the late Board and the several Com- missioners thereof to the new department, The Board then adjourned, Ingersoll, New Schools—Messrs, TRE LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. ‘Tim Collius’ Benefit—Large and Appreciative Giathering—Goed Sparring and Rough and | Tamble Work—Hard Hitting.

Every available spot in the hall was terribly packed, and a number of chairs and tables on the fringe of the crowd were each occupied by six or seven perspiring persons, anxious to get a better sight of the proceedings than was alforded by standing on the floor allowed.

THE MACE AND COBURN PRIZE FIGHT. ‘The Ground Selected—Steamboats Chartered— Time for the Ring to be Pitched Settled— The Maia Crowd to Leave Erie, Pa., in Two Steamers. {From the Detroit Post, April 28.) Our reporter was [enc | shown a letter from the trainer of Joe Coburn to a well known sporti man of this city in regard to the contest to come between Coburn and on the 11th of May. Some two weeks since certain parties here were appealed to to decide on a location for the t, somewhere convenient to Detroit, bat on Oknadian or neutral Brees ACCOR, several days were spent in se- ecting locations; bat just where the fight Is to come off cannot be ascertained for public: It | Will be on the Canadian side of Lake Erie, eighty miles of Detroit. So much is certain, unless something happens to cause a change of Lenrpeny ‘rhe writer of the letter made many inquiries as to the cost of charte steamers from this point, how large @ crowd could be counted on to go, and whether there was any probability that the police authorities would interfere to spoil the fight, or to preveas sight-seers from leaving the city. The fact ‘nat the day has been set and the ground picked out has been telegraphed to the shoulder hitters in Chi- cago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati and St. Leuis, and the | first detachment of such characters arrived here yesterday, perfecting the chartering of a steamer to take the “select”? crowd to the scene of the fight. More are expected here to- day, and it is calculated that @ crowd of ° 1rom Detroit will attend the encounter. In addi- tion to the annoyance of having a crowd of thieves and roughs here for @ week or ten days, the fight will be no honor to this or any other vicinity, and every good citizen will hope that the Superintend- ant of Police will exert every effort to break up the plan of collecting a crowd at this point. If he nas no power to prevent people from embarking hero on a steamer especially chartered the law of 1869 gives him power to arrest every person landing in the city after having just willingly witnessed a prize fight, and such persons if convicted are lable to the law in both fine and imprisonment. ‘The letter was dated at Erle and asserted that two ateamers had been charted to leave that port with a crowd of 300, and that the ring would be pitched before ten o'clock on the: morning of the 11th of May. GRAVEYARD PEABODYS. THE LUTHERAN CHJRCH SCANDAL. A Minister Without a Salary—Church Build- ing at His Own Cost—He Provides a Cemetery to Bury His Flock and Gets Abused for It—Particulars of His Scheme as Related by Him- self— Denial of the State- ments Against Him. A HERALD representative yesterday waited upon the Rey. W. F. Geissenhainer, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, with reference to various asset- tions made by some persons connected with his church that he was not acting in a straightforward manner in relation to some matters in the church over which he presides, The whole affair, however, does not emanate from the church, but has refer- ence more particularly toa great cemetery scheme which the venerable pastor, his friends and sons conceived and brought to maturity, RerorreR—“There is a report that you and your congregation are at variance upon some important questions.” “Yes, unfortanately, there has been @ malignant and untruthful statement published agaist me, averring that I and my congregation are not only in the midst of differences, but that a positive es- trangement has taken place consequent upon & charge alleged to have been made in reference to some money matters.’* “What were the diiicalties alleged as to finance?" “in order that your paper and its readees may un- derstand my exact position, I will briefiv recite my connection with the church, First, 1 have been now upwards of THIRTY YEARS AS A MINISTER in this city, When | first commenced, and my ‘call’ was certified, 1 distinctly stated that I could take no salary from my congregatiun; for, having means of my own, I wanted to make the work in every way—and what it was in my heart—a labor oflove. Having collected a congregation we next set to work to build a temporary place of worship where the Germans whom I had drawn together could engage in their devotions. At that time many of my flock were poor—very poor—and I did not ask a great deal of assistance from them to erect the structure: I gave the principal portion of it myself. I felt it to be my duty Since that time those poor communicants have in most instances become rich, many of whom now have a large amount of pro- perty in New York. The Germans, you know, are a saving, thrifty race of people; they economize and store up their money. I like to see it, because it enables them to geton in the world. Time rolled on and we managed to increase in numbers, and the numbers were prosperous; so it was proposed to bm ld the present permanent and splendid house of d in which we now worship. “Tt 18 sald you erected this at your own cost."* “That statement as published is also wrong. I gave liverally; Judeed, my heart prompted me to do 80, for I loved THE IDEA OF A HANDSOME CHURCH: but 1 did not give even half the amount of the cost of the building. My congregation did the whole work almost all among themselves, We have nowa Sunday school, in which about seven huuared chil- dren are taught the principles of Christianity, and J must say 4 feel happy when | see their bright and cheerful faces in going in and out on Fifteenth street, With regard Wo any disagreement between myself and my congregation, nothing could be more cruel and unjust, For thirty years many of them have been communicants under my teaching; we have got on happily together iu good report and in evil report, without any break or hitch that might tend to sever the Hes that bound us together, They must discredit the report.”” “How do you prove, Doctor, that they discredit the report?” “Simply by stating that a better state of harmony could not exist so far es Icau understand. 1 have NINE HUNDRED CONSTANT COMMUNICANTS, | besides a iarge number who regularly attend all | the services of the church.

[ must, of necessity, refer you to him for all the ae- talls of this large undertaking.” Mr. W. F. ssenhainer, Jr., accordingly entered upon the real cause of the grievance. He said that in the year 1862 the German poor expressed 9 his father a desire to have a place where they might bury their dead at a less cost than that imposed at Greenwood Oemetery. With that view a farm of thirteen acres was selected at Meadow Villege, L. J.; but when they ascertamed what the cost was to be the association discovered euey bad NOT MONEY ENOUGH TO BUY IT. | Rather than allow the matter to fall throngh he himself bought eight acres at a coat of $6,000, the r inder being purchased by the society for $4,000.
