Foundation. Facts a For some time past the. public mind has been pe- riodically aroused to a pitch of unusual excitement Dy open statements concerning the sanitary condi- tion of the public schools in the city. These ru- more not unfrequentiy assumed the shape of dis- tinct charges, and pointed out places where the ‘health of the children attending these institutions ‘Was seriously affected by the accumulated filth in the buildings. Now and then persons interested fm the system of public instruction took up the cndgels for the department, and the storm would quietly simmer down. More often, however, a Dumber of peeple belonging to the district com- plained of would go to the school in a body ‘nd insist upon the use of brooms and Water. That there has been a good deal DY truth in some of the charges of uncleanliness made there is no doubt, but where the fault lies 1s PdiMcult matter to discover. In some cases the Janitors are to blame, in others the principala and dn a good many the Commissioners. The janitors ‘are more responsible than any one else except, per- ‘haps, the people, who appoint bad ones, from politi- eal reasons, because they allow the filth that is mow complained of to amass from laziness, They ‘are the authorities in the buildings, and they often use the power to the extent of chastising the chil- dren, Many of them do not live in or near ithe. schoolhouses, and among this number ‘there is a large proportion of persons who spend @ good part of the day watching the clock and wishing for the hour of going home. ‘Where the principals or those under them are the ‘cause of the neglect the fault generally arises from inexperience or cafclessness, and this the public would naturally expect the inspectors would be able ‘toremedy. In some instances, of course, the houses are #o old and out of repair that the keeping them clean tsa very difficult matter. The. authorities complain that there is “ A WANT OF FUNDS; but water is not an expensive commodity, neither are disinfectants, and bo’h are sadly required in some of the public schoolhouses in New York. The Board of Education has a sanitary inspector attached to the department. There may or may mot be an absolute necessity for such an officer. Some people think the duty of seeing that all public institutions are conducted in a healthy manner properly belongs to the Board of Health, and the money spent for special salaries could be much better laid out on other branches of the edu- cational system. Of this, however, the Board of Education is presumably the best judge, but the results arrived at scarcely support the theory. To get at the root of all this discussion and find ont ‘the exact state of affairs Commissioner Barr yes- ‘terday introduced a resolution at the meeting of ‘the Board of Health requirlag that the City Sant. ‘tary Inspector be ordered by the Board to institute ‘complete examination of all the schoolhouses and report to the Board upon the condition of the buildings. A warm discussion: followed the intro- action of this resolution, and it was finally agreed to make the examination, but upon the condition that the Sanitary Inspector of the Board of Education ghould be requested to accompany the Inspector of the Board of Health during his tour of inguiry. It is hardly necessary to point out that @ worse means of getting at the truth could not be adopted. It would plainly not be the interest of ‘the Educational Inspector, were he ever so immac- ‘ulate an officer, to take unusual pains to show the ‘Health Inspector where the defects were, even if ‘he knew, which it is likely he does not. The pres- ence of the two officials and the business they were engaged in in one institution would be quickly tel_ egraphed to the others, and every thing would be in order at the remaining places upon their arri- val. This will be the case even now, for the pub- licity given to the action of the Board of Health yesterday will cause ageneral cleaning up, and by the time the assistant health inspectors turn up at the schoolhouses there will be no objectionable matter to discover. To make such an inspection really eflective the Board of Health or its officers rop in upon the school authorities quietly and without previous notice, They would in that way get at the bottom of whe evil, do the ite aservice and be a lasting and substan- tint benefit to the thousands of children who at- tend the schools, The Loregry inconvenience to ome of the school buildings is the close proximit: .Of other houses. In some cases these are built ail around them, almost shutting off the air and light. 7 School No. 2, at which the averaye atten- ‘dance is 261 children, mate and female, and the ‘whole number taught 670, labors under this dimf- culty, The house is situated in Bayard street, al- on the corner of Baxter street. TWO NARROW DOORWAYS LEAD, to the closets on the ground floor at the back of the structure, and this part of the house is “wrappod in a semi-darkuess that must be not only inconvenient. to the children, but to the people whose business it is to keep things The closets were not in a very condition yesterday to look at, but they smelt powerfully and sent their odors a good “way off. The offensive gases emitted from these holes aoe ay es et Ce Bd Haates © in the. cult eir youn, ‘minds, Both are exposed to the stench all the ‘time they are in the school, for the reason that pane cg fire extended back beyond the school ling, and the foul gases arising from them ‘mount up to the rear windows and rush into the * class rooms every time one of those windows or a door is open. ‘to make this deadly work more sure, the walls are so constructed that the spaces Jeit about the closets and vehind the building act a8 forcing pumps to drive up the destructive ele- ment. passages of this house are narrow, ai intricate and numerous, They serve as most ‘admirable conveyance pipes for bad atmosphere, ‘and if the children of the district were not unus- ‘ually healthy they could not poastbiz stand the many ‘arms in the piace stretched out against their ‘Mves, The class yooms, though evidently kept witn ware, are gloomy, dark and uninviting; even the 0 in the Jarger room looks as if it were suffer. ‘ng from the general mould and could not bring itself to send forth anything lively or cheerful. in the front room Wednesday afternoon the seats were all Siied with children, and a young lady was toil- thligentiy to = up to them the mysteries of the blackboard. partment was many times ‘More bright and attractive than the others, from the nw r of young and eager faces in it, and the Led dancing eyes of the children bore a strange ‘contrast to the ‘moist, dim cloud through which ‘they shone, A short distance from this house ts mary School No. 8, where the aver- mage attendance is 450 children, mule and female, and the whole number taught 1,119, This building is in Mott strect, near Canal, vand is a great improvement on tts neighbor. The closets,’though, are not free from stench, particu- larly on the male side of the establishment, but they are in an immensely better condition than the other, The class rooms on the upper foorsare gilin thorongh order, and a good deal o! this seems fo be the work of the principal, who is a steady, capable lady, interested in her duties. The re- airing of the street now going on in front of the ullding makes @ quantity of mud and dirt in the passares, but the inhabitants of the locality are accustomed to these ingredients and do not object to their presence. On second street, near avenue fo situated Primary School No, 31, Six hundred and eighty children make the aver- age attendance at this fastitution, and 1,630 is the whole number taught. ‘The closets at this house, at least those used by the children, are ‘as bad, and perhaps sometinng worse, than those in school No. 2, The neighborhood is a German one, and there is a most decided German efluvia at the rear of the house. They are UNWHOLESOME AND FOUT and much in need of disiniectants. When these ‘vaults are 60 offensive now in cold weather one shudders to think what the children must suffer in them during the Summer, The principal class- rooms at this house are large, bright and airy. They are, fortunately for the scholars and teachers, removed from the region of the vaults, and there 49 a means of gesting air into them that ts at least | untainted wi the gases that wind their way ‘was up toward the heavens at the rear. This school at its worst on Wednosday, when it came into the Aine Of the BERALD'S “Xamination, ‘The scholars the teachers were iu the act of to follow their exam Roane shawls brought into requisition, and the wi day were for the After al very the class rooms on the floor above were looked at. These run off from both sides ofa hallway, and are very con- veniently situated for their purpose. Some of them are bat they are well |, comfortable, bright and clean. The s. ladies who direct the imfant intellect this fountain of learning were all crowded in a bunch in the passage watching the examination of the class rooms, and wi wing what, ws going on. They made a picturesque and pretty group, each one being a representative of a separate type of beauty. Primary School No. 22 fands on the corser of 0. Ninth street and First avenue. The house has been used for its present purpose for nearly forty years, and is now bd Much out of repair. ‘The Pgh pois fey he hyd in ban lh tons The wi hemselves do not appear to be very sale, and there is ie hcg A GENERAL ATR OF DILAPIDATION about the place that is most painful, The fags in the yards are eer of them sunken on one side, and when snow falis it collects in these places and makes a terrible mud and slush for the children. The foors of the class rooms are in’a bad con- dition, so are the walls and ceiling; and it is, in- deed, quite time the Board of Health stepped in to do something for this house. Paint, plaster and white’ are very much wanted there, and now that the anthorities are aware of the fact it is to be hoped they will not be sparing of pains te put the building into a proper sanitary and comiortable condition, The closets are clean, well kept and as safe as can be expected in so old-a house, but they are not free from the almost uni- versal odor. No vaults are entirely free from oflensive smells, but it must not be understood the schoolhouse closets are simply objectionable to the extent of the ordinary house vault. ‘The: are much more telling. If they merely gave fort the stench one expects there Would scarcely be a cause of complaint, but they give out unhealthy miasmas, aud of @ most striking strength, too. ‘There is no mistaking itor where it comes from. Grammar School No. 36 happening to come in the way between two primaries it was looked at. The difference distinctly discernible was astound- ing. To be sure there was not much light on the ground floor, but there were half a dozen canaries Singing away immediately opposite the closets, where in the other places human life unused to the atmosphere would be unwilling to remain for any length of time. The vaults were in good order, well ep co and in as good condition as places of this kind could be. The house 1s roomy, bright. and healthy, and leaves very I!ttle to desire in the Way of improvements. The children of the neigh- borhood must experience a wonderful change of constitution when their studies and years brin; them into the grammar from the primary school, Anew primary is just about being finished in East Nineteenth street, and itis about time. The old one, No. 29, is a tambie-down, FILTHY CONCERN, that should never have been used for such a pur- pose. Immediately in the rear is a stable, and the passage leading to where the horses are kept runs under the wing of the house. The average attend- ance at this school is 627 children, male and te- male, and the whole number tanght is 1,496, Pri- mary School No. 4 is aituated at 429 East Sixteenth street. Two hundred and fourteen children make the average attendance and 600 is the entire num- ber taught there. This house has all the worst features of the very worst schools, and badly needs the correcting hand of tie Board of Health, The vaults are foul, and dirt seems to have made its headquarters there. It is probable there will be a general clean- ing up before the Sanitary Inspectors arrive, but Jast evening the place was far from clean. There are altogether forty-two primary schools in the city. In these 16,935 children make the. avera; attendance, and 41,724 is the whole number taught in them. There are fifty-seven ward schools, where the average attendance is 67,587, and the whole number taught 150,732. Besides these there are six colored schools, in which the average attendance is 785 children and the whole num- ber taught 2,083; eveni schools, at which the average attendance, male and feniale, 18 9,247, and the whole number taught 21,912; 13 cor- rate schools, in which the average attendance 139 and the whole number taught 19,323. These figures showa grand total of 103,822 average at- tendance and 239,764 the whole number taught. Taking into consideration, then, the number of lives, young ones at that, that are exposed to danger and disease in schools throughout the city, itis not to be wondered at that the public would feel grateful that the Board of Heaith now and then looked after the health of its children. Commissioner Barr's motion was a most timely one, and thongh it may not exactly suit the ideas of the Board of Education, the pecs will be glad to see that an interest is taken in children of the community.

According to the Patria of Lima of the 22d of October last, Congress, has authorized the govern- ment to grant a subsidy of 20,000 soles for the ex- tension of telegraphic communication from Payta to Panama, to form a union with the submarine cable just latd between Colon and Jamaica. Chinese Coolics Landed at Callao, The Peruvian ship Lota has arrived at Callao with Chinese coolies. Five hundred and ninety- five were embarked at Macao, of whom twenty died on the passage and fourteen remained at Payta, French Sailors Saved from a Wreck at Sea. A Norwegian ship, the Hoideorn, from Buenos Ayres, anchored in the port of Callao on the 2d of November, bringing on board of her eighteen of the crew of the French ship Reserve, which foundered | on the 5th of October last at about thirty miles off Cape Horn. The captain of the Hoideorn stated that bemg on that day between the isiands of Es- tados and Diego Ramirez, he came in sight of a vessel with a flag of distress, At at risk @ boat was sent to afford the assistance signalized for. It brought back eight of the crew, and on a second trip eleven more. The captain and chief mate re- fused to abandon the sinking vessel. Those that were received on board of the Hol- deorn stated that the vessel they had abandoned was the Reserve, a French vessel of 1,050 tons, Cap- tain Etienne Ponsier, proceeding from Newcastle to Callao, Five days belore she began to leak, and, the pumps having broken, they gave up all hopes of saving the vessel. Night set in, and neither the vessels nor her lights were seen more. The Reserve was coming ont laden with coal and to remain as coal hulk for the Transatlantic Company, Interesting Reports from the Banks of the Amazon River=Missionary Explora- tion and Clerical Hints for Material Progress. A correspondent of the Comercio of Lima, dating at Huanaco, after complaining that the 6,000 sles given by the Peruvian government to the German colony at Pozuzo to aid in constructing the road between that place and Huancabamba had been squandered, goes on to give some information about the missionaries and Indian tribes in that region. The more interesting points read as fol- lows :— Two missionary Fathers of the Ucuyali missich, in their travels, arrived on the 26th of July last at a point cailed Yunga-ro-yacu, met with a party of Cachsivos Indians to whom they gave a lesson in fishing and made them presents of beads, At the Island of Picahnali they met with twelve Indians with ticir wives, These Indians are described as being ruddy and fair, bearded, strong and well formed. Further on they found that the Conivos and Schipivos of Coayall had had a naval combat with the Cachsi- vos, killing and making, prisoners of some of the latter. The former tribes, who are considered the pirates of the Ucuyali, had several killed, In a yillage belonging to the Schipivos the Fathers found @ monstrous idol of wood, Dguting an enor- mous monkey, the purpose of which, they were told, was to keep watch over the women. It is recommended that the Peruvian govern- ment should furnish these missionaries with breech-loaders for the protection of the Fathers in the navigation of the rivers and against the wild beasts that abound there, and that the populations living on the banks of the Uctyall should have a direct relation with the authorities at Huanuco, General Indasirial velopment. The Peruvian government has under considera. tion proposition to throw open to any one, native or foreigner, the right to work the mines they may discover within its territory, with @ greater extent of land than what was allowed by the old Spanish mining laws. Coal is to be particuiarly favored by certain additional privileges, while the State wiil bay the coal of such mines in preference at the current market prices. Congr Congress will probably be convened in extra scs- gion, and will continue sitting until February, By Mining and De- that time the work of reform com- re may approach President Pardo’s Health.

One of the latest Argentine papers to hand by mail furnishes the following account of the execu- tion of two of the assassins in the bloody affair of Tandil, as well as the assassination of anpther foreigner at the same place, all of which proves two things—one the ineMcacy of the penalty of death on the morality of the people, and, secondly, the existence of a fanatic dislike to all foreigners, The accounts read thus:—A commissioner sent by the Argentine government to inquire into the articulars of this scene of bloody fanaticiam in fandil says with respect to the two criminals con- demned to death, viz. Gutierrez and Lararte, that they met their fate with the most stoic indifference. When thesentence of death was read to them in their cell Gutierrez shed tears, ‘Not, he observed to the. Commissioner Sontosa, “because I fear death, but because I leave seven children, my wife and my mother. To-morrow you will see now Argentines can die.” In the evening they asked.to be supplied with bread, meat, sugar and cocoa leaves, After sleeping a few hours they rose early. They asked for wine; they were given champagne, Lazarte, after drinking, said, ‘What famous wine! Whata pity itis to have tasted it only to die.’ On being toid their last hour was come Gutierrez called for his confessor and said, “{ die for a holy cause. I have killed some masons whom the cura told us ought to be made away with, for they were enemies of religion; now these gmp (foreigners) will see how Argentines can le. Arrived at the fatal spot Lazarte looked at Gu- ticrrez and said, “Don’t be afraid. Let us show these Gringoes that we are Argentines.”” Gutierrez fell at the first discharge, but had to be despatched by a shot through the head, Lazarte, who was looking on, begged the firing party to come hear so a8 to put him out of pain at once. Bota these Guachos died stubborn and unrepented. THE EXECUTION WAS HARDLY OVER when the authorities were notified of a new crime committed on a foreigner. His body was found near the town riddled with wounds and his money and valuables scattered about, showing that re- venge was the object and not robbery. CENTRAL AMERICA, The Question of Church and State as It is Illustrated in the Case of the Jesuits, {From the Panama Star and Herald, Noy. 16.) The question of the residence or non-residence of the Jesuits ina country has become one in the solution of which all civilized nations are either occupied in solving or have already decided upon. Three of the Central American States ‘have decreed the expulsion of all religious communities as such, and Oosta Rica has refused them an asylum im that republic. As Dr. Montufar, the present able Minister of Foreign Relations, took an active ‘t in this re- fusal, he has published, for the enlightenment of his fellow citizens, a small work, tracing out in forcible and succinct the history of Jes- uitism from its origin to the present day. The historical evidence he brings forth is suficient to convirice all unpreyudiced people tnat the Jesuits, as a religious community, have been and ever will be the implacable enemies of civil and rehgious liberty. Dr. Montafar has done a great service, not only to Costa Rica but to all the Spanish-Amer- ican ie igo in condensing into a pamphlet form, for poplar use, all the leading facts connected with the deeds, principles, opin- ions and objects of this extraordinary religious organization—the Company of Jesus, Di. Montufar, with the tact, talent and patriotism that have always distinguished him, could dono less, He knew the friends of Jesuitism and friars would oe that the motives of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Costa Rica and the administration with which he is associated were to attack religion it- self, as had been already alleged in Guatemala and Salvador by biind fanaticism. ‘But Dr. Montufar is too much of a patriot and too experienced a states- man even to forget that no country can prosper that Is without God and true religion. , Jesutism seems as Boomer onieee. in its spirit as the Pa- pacy itself against the progress of -the age and the liberties of the people. We all know the antagon- ism now existing betweew free Italy and the Vati- can. Tae Jesuits are fighting every inch of ground to retain their hold on the German Catholics. A THANKSGIVING STABBING AFFRAY. Late on Thursday night John Eagan, of Manhat- tanville, while returning home was met in an unfrequented locality near his house by three men, all intoxicated and quarrelsome, They assaulted Fagan, who did what he could to protect himself. One of the rufMlans drew a large pocket knife and inflicted a serious, though not dangerous, wound upon Eagan’s left breast. The gang then fed. Eagan pursued his assailant, and Officer Falconer, of the Thirtieth precinct, joined in the chase. | The would-be assassin was arrested. Near the scene of the assault the officer afterwards found the knife. ‘rhe prisoner gave the name of Patrick Connelly. Re was arraigned betore Justice McQuade yester- day and was Inily committed for trial, in default of $2,500 bail. Connelly denied his guiit, and refused to give the names of the other members of the gang, pretending that he did not know them. POST OFFICE NOTICR, _ OST OFFICE NOTIC!
