Editor Times: The din usslon on the
“school question’’ Is waxing warm. (The
question. Instead of being “settled ’ is
taking hold of the people ami the pertple
are piking hold of ike quest! 'll. Tin-y are
tired of more assertions; tfioy facts.
Tho Public Bchol*, as now conducted, are
certainly open to criticism. Ami surely
one may criticise them without, being
(inti.elneed pirsonally as their enemy.
Tbetiuthls, thocnthu-lastlc cjiarnnjons
nrrtibllc’Ediicutlon lmd as well lrtivt off
thulr lugh-souudliig rhetoric of mooiilng
les* abstra tiotis and vague general Hies,
ami eome down to the nuked question,
thu Publle Schools or Columbus. It dm-s
not matter to us what they do In Gar
ni Any, uc
Bnglabd. It concern* us to what
w* are doing here at home.
Wo are told to “withhold captious
criUclsiH and enquire ut lie ulqu irtors.”
I have taken the trouble to “enquire at
hcudqiisJTers.” I’ve visited the
witnessed their exhibitions, and Cafe fully
scrutinized ihe Superintendent'* compiled
reports! Now,l’iu a plain, blunt nntn. I
look at things with plain eyes. I Jqarn
this from the Superintendent's reports :
It takes a boy or a girl in th|s Public
School* of Columbus eight yeare K“t a
common school education. It tain® eight
year* to learn Geography, Grammar,
Reading, Writing und Arithmct c. This
Is what Is known as a common school ed
ucation. It is what is laid down in tho
Superintendent's compiled reports as the
course for Primary and Gramrnat aolidola.
The Superintendent states that every
child must know his letters before ho can
outer the Primary classes, and then ft re
quires eight years to teach him to read,
write and spell. The Superintendent says
in one of Ills reports: “The price of tui
tion at private schools in Columbus is
throe OX tour, times hUimr than In tim
PublicKpboolr, y.l will anyone soytlm
instruetlon fe better V" [P. 5 f Iteports
from uses to 1874 Inclusive.] What! fight
years tti tdiich a child to rend, write and
spell, and no private Instruction better V
Why, there Is not a community in Amer
ica that would tolerate a private teacher
who could not do mpr-tt more In four
years
Now, tiffs is a practical age; men who
do work and who have It done put ques
tions of business 111 somewhat this shape :
How much time and money are necessary
to do a required work, or what is the least
amount of time and expense necessary to
accomplish a desired end? It fakes eight
years to acquire a common average
education at our public schools. Now.
what is the avorage cost per (scholar?
According to the Superintendent’s own fig
ures, as given in his reports, the white
schools here cost tho city an average of
sls per scholar every year since their or
ganization. In his estimate of the cost he
simply uses the money p Id by council 16
teachers, leaving oul all other iUmis of
expense to the city.' For Instance, on page
4, he says: The total amount paid to
teachers of white schools has beeu $7.4 i
- this amount divided by 4S :, theaverage
number, gives a cost per scholar on the
average number $15.43.” Now, if current
expenses, including inUT 'St on money In
vested In property, and the dally expen
ses of the schools, be summed up, and
surely theso must be entered as itcpis in
tho cost per scholar, they make an addi
tional amount according to the superin
tendent's own figures of more thin $b&)U
This amount distributed among the 4S
scholars gives the average cost; per schol
ar *2O and some cents.
Now let us see; eight, years at S2O per
year gives $l6O per scholar. This is the
Oust of common school education iu the
Public Schools of Columbus. One hun
dred and sixty dollars to teach u boy
reading, wrltiug, spelling and arithmetic.
This Is the work, according to the "Pro
ceedings of Council and Legislative Act
relative to Pub ic Schools,” published
with the Superintendent's reports-that
the Public Schools were Inaugurated to
do, ahd this is the cost. A writer whoso
name has already appeared in the Times
may well ask, “can the city afford such
luxury as this.” How this work, that
ought to be done b/any ordinary teacher 1
in four years, caiuo to bo spread over
eight years is Something this subscriber
cannot understand. Why, the very text
books published for common schools, as
I’ve taken the trouble to examine, are
made almost, universally in soriosof four,
rhere is the Ist, 2d, 3d and 4tli arithme
tics; the Ist, 2ii, 3d and 4th geographies.
Ac.,beginning" with tho primers, the tirst
hooks used, and arranged with reference
to a four years Course. Now th|n, this
work that has required eight years, cau
just as well be done in four. If it cannot
la) done in the Public School#, they ought
to bo closed. That it has been done in
the private schools in this city, is* proved
in every household where* a child for
eight years old and upwards has gone to
a good teacher four successive years.
Lhave examined carefully the Superin
.tehdiml’s last, report. The total Apenses

This is a time when the people* have a
right to demand of their offfcmayjiconomy
tn the use of their funds, 'liiejpiy is in
debt, and her creditors cxpecL.ihut she
will make every p isstble reduction of her
expenses until her bonds are paid. Then,
if the nmnagers of the, Public Schools wifi
take children nt eight years and keep
them until twelve, or take them at nine
and keep them until thirteen, they can
employ who, with the same sal
aries, will accomplish in four years what
under the preseiif plan it has taken eight
years to aecoiupiistt. This plan will give
every boy and gihl Rfgood common school
edueaiion, and save lo the city annually
$4,500. And who says four years of edu
cation Ja not enough totlemaud of
debt-ridden city and tax-burdened pro
perty holders ? Certainly none will ask
for more, unless he desire to "sponge” his
children on the public fbur years of
education / How many successful business
