This from the Hollidaysburg Standard :
The .lolnibio.vn Tribune, if we may believe
its figures and averments, thinks the Uiair
county alms house is economically conduct- !
ed, as compared with tjiat of Cambria.
Lown this way the tax-payer think some
what differently, i. e., so far as the cvvitomy
is concerned. Possibly, if tlie Tribune were
to take the difference in the value of the
farms connected witli the two houses into
consideration, and add it to the difference
expended in out-dour relief and the number
of "paups" inside the building, and then
strike theCLalain c, etc., th. dillei en. e mi.d.t

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Editor Freemak For some time past the
putilic schools have been repeatedly attacked
and so grossly misrepresented by various wri
ters through the columns of your paper, that
it is impossioie for any one wiio Is a true I riyna
of e.luiition, a true friend of
r free institutions
in which the Door as well as the rich can enin
instruction, to remain quiet after reading such
productions. This, too. is done by men who
have been benefitted by them, and wli:i conse
quently ousht to.be fctnong their lioldett de
fender?. Even some teachers with no other
menus of support, who have labored many
years in the cause, now think they outrht to lie
frxceciiinxly praised for raistr.jf the arm of t.p-
position to the public sc
consistent tenchevs seek
utilic sciioois. w uvnunoiour
ol tier employment and
abandon Ihe iniquitous business of teru-hmff in
these (t or. less institutions if thev consider t hem
so? Hut we have a bit of others besides the
traeheis, all of whom Imvt been misled by urs-ti-.koii
ideas in regard to these schools. I shall
therefore review their article very briefly and
endeavor to exhibit each side in its true lijfht.
The Srst if these I shall notice is "F. J. P."
This gent leman, uf ler many at tempts to con
vince your readers that bocioty is coutl iuaily
t rowing vorii, attributes thi.? deploriible state
r f affairs to ihe jnlluencc of the pHblic schools.
Hut mark what ingenuity ho displays I He
does not wish to be umlerstood us sayintf that
this condition of things U prevalent every
where; he.only speaks for Uiill.tiin. J litl think
of changiutf tlie common school system of
1'cniisvlvunia for the sake of this one idace.
containing two or t hree hundred inhabitants I
Is not our State doubly blessed for having- wit h
in her limits this? very important town' No
wonder be cries for liberty. It appears to inc.
however, that the vliiayre spoken of is com poed
of nearly an entire Catholic population. The
clti.eiisot that pluce have the schools iu their
own hand. and if 1 hey desire to have the pu
pils attending them instructed in tlu.ir religious
ptincipies, who is to hinder them? ParoeSiiul
schools can accomplish nothing- more where
people all heloi-g to one church. In some parts
of this isoi.nty liiev teach the catechism, ha vci
ta
prayer, and read the Jiiblo. but it remains to be
proven that their pupils are belter then or be-
come better Chi islisns or better cit izens than
those who receive their religious insi ruction
in the church or at the fircride. In fact, one of
the worst schools I ever saw had prayer, cate
chism and other rel nious exercises every clay.
This, of course, was not caused hv such exer
cises ; but the pupils were not properly t ruined
ut home, too much being expected from the I
religious instruction given tliein at school, and j
they bad come in cim'tact with outside inti.i- ;
enec3 the most debasing- Bud most vicious.
Again, is the conduct of boys and girls educa- !
ted in parochial schools, under the immediate
direction of their pastors, any better than that
of children educated iu public schools? Oh- 1
servation proves 11 is not while tney are young.
Neither do (lieu make belter Christians or bet
ter citizens when they have arriv ed at matui I
ty. Some or the former will curse and s.vear,
light and fcteal far more readily than .the most
vicious of the latter. Every fair-minded man
of experience will admit this. These facts uu-uii-staknbly
show, M r. F. J. P.," that your pro
posed system of education is a "delusion and
a snare," prod u dive of moreev il than I he pres
ent one. and the tnau who would thus uphold
a scheme so sliallow. directly opposed to every
principle of justice and equably, is not a true
American, and renders himself unworthy the
protection of a free government.
Theacq-iiremeiitof sound. u-ef.il knowledge,
such as is Imparled in our public schools, cjies
not tend to corrupt the m.iralsof any one. Ou
the contrary, it has a tendency to elevate our
aspirations und expand our intellect, in order
that ve may more fully comprehend and more
readily accept the teachings of our Divine ltc
deenicr. It enables us to form a true concep
tion of our duty here below us faithful Christ
ians, so that when the time shall come for us
to reaiize that traiisecnuaut beauty so fondly
cherished by ourdearest hupesuuj ever drea in
ed of in our brijihtest:uiticipations, we ve ill uot
be wanting- in good works.
v. iiere, then, clo ctiiiuien acquire so munv
bad habits?" some may ask. Surely not in the
public schools, as I have endeavored to show,
for long before they are ubl to leave home
thev have learned mid become hardened, many
of them, in nearly e ery species of vice. If pa
tents blaspheme, get drunk, aud cull eacu the
other an "edil fool" or somclning worse, or if
they quarrel tin. I even come to blows, how ca.i
we expect those temler minds continually in
contact with such eleprrj.liiit inilumces toVs-
cape cont iinir.atlon? While walking the streets
tlu.se c-b.ldren lind Just the same kind of i:u-
morn lity. and aii u conscq ience their mtuds-re
stored with nil maimer of iniquity before they
enter school at all. Then cmics tho e-ry that
there eleei-F- l((le ours hace lost tlieir n .iitn in the
pti(tCMhios.' If you were to instruct such for
six Hours every day tor ail eternity, you could
not improve ther condition. Let Christian
aii;:;ts, then, reform titiV own habits let
them act consistent ly and conscientiously- nn.1
younger minds will ceq y ufte-r them in their
virtues as they now do in their vices. ISegin
here, for all other attempts to improve the
present condilioti of e;ciely wiil b.s "forever
vain aud iuipoicul." We do not want i.it.zeiis
wiio know i ii'lit from icnuii; merely for the sake
of taiiting about it. We liave loo many such
Christians. What wo want is practice! Chris
tianity, which consists not alone in kiinuiny
and beiirpiiuj, but In ct"l what is rii,!. "Faith

And as regards the o.ders issued to Anthouy
Anna, Win. I). McClelland. John A. Kennedy,
and myseir. and obj-cted to by the County Au
ditors, as shown by their Heport, 1 have only to
sav that the Commissioners were aware that it
was their duty to causa Assessment books and
ltejfisters to be delivered to Ihe several Asscs-hoi-s
in the county, and also to e-ause theelec-
t:n iLiniTS to be delivered to tbe several e
i.,...e.ls ia Hie county lor each election.
They likewise blie.ved that they jjould employ
anv person willing to underrate the task to j
distribute suca .locumeiHs, .iu euiic ice coun
tv would he responsible forsuoh services. Tuey
also believed that they could emrloy o:ie or
other 't themselves, the s-.ime as uny other cit
izen, to di-tribute such papers mid books. Uj.
lievin?, in adilition, tUat tli.sy could d ) it ns
cheap and as well, if not better, than others,
thev so delivered Ihsra, confident that they
were ritrht iu so doiu. Hut the County Audi
tors seem to have seen it in a different liirht.
It inav be tl.st the Coininissioacrs were rronj,
for such is human weakness, unfortunately,
.hoe ... i son interested uenerally looks o:i his

thev imagined they were ei.titlcrl io il'JJ each :

that it) to each would have be-ea ample com- i
