Bommuniraiinn, To the Editor of the Bt, Creix Avis, PEAR SIR, The next point that comes up in this discussion is one which has no important bearing on the main question, and which I will, therefore, but briefly touch upon. It relates to the reckless manner in which the most serious charges are made by the Superintendent agaiust undesiguaton pei gons. Ile denies that his language bears the constriction put upon it by the Mino rity. aud makes the whole dispute here to turn upon the meaning of the word “train,” as applied by him. That word, however, simply means—¢“to Qdm';m', to teach, to form by iustruction or practice,”” and there fore undeniably implies, a< interpreted by the Minority, an iatentional ov awilf!, act on the part of those so training the c¢hild ren, Irom this there can be no escape. But if the Superintendent is desivons of retracting this charge, I am quite willing that he should do so; only et Ll not complain of an interpretation heing put on his language, which is, in reality, the only possible one. Tliat he used so common a word without understanding its meaning we cannot possibly suppose of one, who claims to teach the English Laneunace more thoroughly than all British Fducationists together so that even while allowing him the full benefit of his ingenious, but utter ly inadmissible, explanation, I cannot bul confess 1o a shrewd suspicion, that had he entertained the slightest idea that his An nual Rt'lml‘l, lift,lll'l‘lly, 1t seems, written with all the hicense of a seeret service docu ment, would, on this occasion, iacet the public eye, as all suci Reports undoubt edly should, this charge, out ol which he now so lamely creeps, would never have been penned. But to return to the main question. The Superintendent fatly denies that the rea son assigned by the Minority for the luke warmness of the Parents during the last few years, namely—that the children derive no benefit from attendance—exists to any ex tent among them. To those who Tave any opportunity of hearing the free expres sion of the Parent’s feelings on this point, the assertion of the Minority need not be reiterated for all such persons know, that the reason coustantly given by them for wishing to send their children for instrue tion, either into private families, or to other Schools, Is invariably that—¢they learn nothing at the Country Schools.” This point, however, is one on which no argument can be held, as it is simply o matter of fact, which will be believed, or not, according to the opinions which indi viduals may entertain as to the compara tive opportunities which the respective parties to this discussion may enjoy of hearing the free sentiments of the laborers, and the likelihood of their giving an unbi assed representation of those sentiments. On these grounds of judgment, the Minori ty, lam quite sure, are entirely satisfied to submit the question to the verdiet of the Public. To one very significant coin ciderce, I would, however briefly direct at tention—it is to the fact, that, according to the Superintendent’s own statement, the great decrease in the average attendance has taken place within the last few years, and is therefor e cotemporary wilh the advent of Immigrants from the Engush Islands—a fact which fully and most conclusively bears out the Minority’s statement, that this feeling about the inutility of sending their childrea to these Schools has been S T.CROLX AVYIL S, confirmed by the comparison which the Parents have been enabled to draw in late years between the instruction given in other Schools, and that obtained in our’s; and that to this feeline, thus strengthened, 15 to be ascribed their inereased unwilling ness to send their children thereto. The Insinuation that such exeuses are put ito the mouths of the Parents by those whose aim it is to keep the Childrin away from instruction altozether, I can well aford to pass by in silence, as heing quite wor thy of oune who is ever ready to acense all who differ from him on his eccentric edu cational ideas, of b iuz opponents to edu cation itself. Sarely, however, it is but’ a sorry jest, on the Superintendent’s part, to express so much dread of the evil effvcts, among the laborers, of the publieation of the opinions of the Minority on this poiut, when the whole community Knows, and 1o one better than he, that, in direct conse quence of his persistence in his “superior systemr” for so many vears, any thing iz print is simply a deal Liter to our alult Rural population—that in consequenes of his eazer assumption of the cast offt Pho netieal system, the “A 18”7 mighs be show ered on onr people as thick as flakes of snow in Winter, without their being one lota the better, or the worst for it —for that, thanks to the universally rejected “superior system,” not six per cent of our native adult population in the Country know oune letter trom another. It the obh jeet of the Saporintendent, durinr these many years of labor, and public expendi ture on the Rural Sehools, has been to place the laboring elass, in this way, be youd the possibility of injury frowm the publication of sueh “unlawtul” sentiments as those expressed in the Minovity Report, then, 1 behalf of the Community, I must congratulate him on the most ungnalificd success, for every one must adinif that, wn der existing cireumstances, no harim cun possibly come to our people, jrom aay Uing in prind. In his Annual Report the Superinton dent adduces two causes, and two ounly, as the “absolute hindrances” to the suec s of the Schools, namely—«“Overcrowioeid ness”’ and “Irregular Atte:dance’ The Minority unanswerably shewed—that how ever great drawbacks these may be to full suceess, they yet cannot, and do not, sufii ciently aecount for the shametul failure of our Schools, in comparison with others: for that these Schools hare not so many pupils in average attendance as to he he vond the ability of the Teachers provided for them; and are not so tregulnly at tended as other Schools, which vive dou ble and treble the results. A great deal has been said on the first point: but the question simply resolves itself into this— Are our Schools so overerowded, in the average attendance, as to be bevond the capacity either of the buildinos, or of the Teachers, provided for them? The Su perintendent dwells very iuch on the ad vantazeous condition ot the Scliools in the Engiish Islands in this respect, but let us hear the estimate made by the Inspectors of those Schools themselves on thiz point. The Inspector at Antigua says, “A faithful Tecacher can, with the help of Monitois, casily and successfully conduet a school of from 80 to 160 Scholars.” The Inspector at Barbados says, “A competent Teacher can do justice to a school of 100 children by the assistance of Monitors.” Now under these eircumstanees is it unreasonable to expect similar results from Schools, aer aging, as our’s do, 60. 82. 90. 61. 115. 120. 85., with the additional assistance of a fe male Teacher. The proposition in short stands thus—ls in DBarbodos ome Teacher, l with Monitors, can produce, in a School of 100 chitdren in a erage attendance, 75 per cent. Readers, at 10 years of nge why may not fwo liachers in St. Croix, with Mouitors, produce equal results, with an avera-e attendance ot froni 60 to 12079 (I only exclude rhe llt. Victory School of f 144, while in Antiguna, be it observed, ac cordinr to the Superintendent’s own figuies, one School averages as hich as 160.) The Superintendent erows very loudly over two =chiools which he says produce as lavue per-centage of readers as those in Barbados, at 10 years of age, “aund under.” Now of course the compu t tation made of the Ilnglish Schools also in clude many wader that age, but it was not i thought neeessary to state this, inasmuch as we suppose {lt would be understood, and, bad as his case is, we did not dream that it was quite so desperate as to lead him to cateh at such a straw. As to the acqnirements of these children, I must real |y tave leave to doubt their beine so tho rough as represented. I have had oceasion for mavy years, until quire jately, to vis't the Eust End distriet very f'reqlntntl’y, and I have never omitted any opportunity of testing the aequirements of the children there. and almiost invariably with this re- L sult—<that they conld not read ont of any book but their own.” But such a test as this offered by the Superintendent eannot be adiiitied. We cannot seleet one or two special Schools, and draw our conelu j sious trom those, as to the general efficien ey ol the system we must take the gene ral vesults of all as .our standard for I know, from personal knowledge, that ma ny schools might be selected in Antigua, aud the other Islands, where results even surpassing those of the two model sehiools L quoted by the Superintendent, may be ad dueed. To the general resells then wo oappeal, and these we find bric fly to be as follows—in Barbad s—outlay 10 ects per t head, per-eentage of readers at 10 years ofage 75. Antigna --ouitlay $1 per head, Readers 50 pr. et. Bt. Croix outlay almost 83 per head, Readers 23 pr. ¢t.: and the ma,ority 1};‘: se so Indifterent as scarcely to be entitled to the name. Admitting however, for a sument's sake, all that the Superintendent clainis in this respect, and what is proved by it? Why simply that, under what he ealls the “Parrot system,” 100 children may be instructed by one Teacher, to as ercat o lrantage as 60 can Dbe, under ihe admirable Phouetieal system, by two. As for tha matter of Overerowd edness then, T think thatit is quite fair reasoning to conie to the following eonclu sion—that if in Barbados one male E Teacher i; considered quite competent, with Monitors, to produce 75 per cent. t readers at 10 years of age in a School of I¢o childeen. then in St. Croix, with much more roomy and convenient buildings, two Teachers, with the same assistauce, and L with an average attendance even as high as 110, canuot plead “Overerowdedness” as an excuse for produring only 23 per cent. readers, at the same age. Only in one School however does the attendance range as high as this—only in two others does it exceed 100-—and in all the rest it is considerably below that number. Where then is the ground for the Superintendent’s j unccasing complaint of ‘Overcrowded ness 1 The other absolute hindrance, “Irregu lar a tendance,” is still niore easily dispos ed of. »He asserts that the Minori'y has misstated the figures from his Reports. They were correctly extracted from the statistical Tables which accompanied the

Annual Report when it was ecirculated among the Members of the Commission, and which therefore, we not unnaturally supposed to be an anaual siatem-nt In this tway the mistake was made, if really made at all. 1 add this doubt, because, when ihis charge of li=qiotation appear- ed in the Superintendent’s Answer,” 1 i iinmediately wrote him a private note to the cffect—that T would lise to convince mvselt ot this error, and correct 1t publicly, l and therefore begoed that he would send nie, cither the original, or a copy, of the l Tubles referred to. This he refuscd 1o do on the most frivolous pretext whereby 1 am denied the opportunity of making any correction, and am left (as 1 leave your Readers) to draw 1y own counciusions as 10 the. corieciiniss ot this lf'.li“i\‘_rin’. Admit however the correction whieh he makes, aud what is proved regarding the compa- rative attendance here, and in the Enzlish Islands In St. Croix the worst average attendance, that during the last tew vears, has been in the every day Schools, 3-5. In St Kitts it is as follows, at the very best—English Church Schools—On List R 45 average attendance 531. DMoravian 759499, Wesloyun 820412 or less than 2. Toial St Kitts—246l—l372 considerably less than 3-5. In Antigua— Tnelish 1805—1i055. Moravian 1590 1219, Weslevan 616-—361. Total, 5305 90665, or a trifle over 3 while, for the previous year, the total stood thus 4523 ©242, or less than 3. The remark of the Syperintendent regarding many of these children not attending at all, and the fa- vorable deductions which he draws there- from are simply imaginary. No children ate entered upon the Lists exeept those who pr(;t'«"ss to attend, and one half of these attend oceasionally, and irregularly, just as 3-5 of our’s do. These considera- tions will I think dispose cffectually and forever of the Superintendent’s claim to snduleence for the lamentable failuve of the Schools on the agrounds orviginally urg- 4 ed, of “Overcrowdness,” and “Irregular attendaunce.”’ 1 aia, Mr. Lditor, Yonrs !'.‘Hl}'.

The honor.ble member enquired whether it was the intention of Government to lay before the Council a draft of law to enforce the full amount of duty on i imports from St Thomas. We nced scareely inform the mereantile community that, on im- ports from St. Thomas, a deduction of 13 pr. 5 ct. is at present made at the Customs here, that g being the amount of daty paid by the imporiers l in St. Thomas. Now as our finances are held separate from those of St Thomas, and both from those of the Mother-Country, it is consi- i dered a loss in our revenues if the full amount of duty be not paid here, and therefore the hen- orablo member wishes Government {0 en force 1 an lditional 1% pr. ct. ILis Excellency the Governor, in reply to the houorable member, stated that the matter was in consideration, and that he would correspond farther with the Minister of the Interior on the question, and obtain, if possible, his sanction to lay such a draft before the Council, as it would also be necessary if such a law were passed to levy a duty in St. Thomas on exports from this Island on which at present no duty is paid. ST CROLX &V S We have observed above that this question is of great interest to this community; and we do not fear that it will not be so considered by all who can comprehend it. In our opinion, it there is any way to save this Island from its seeming inevitable fate, that would be to adopt a course the reverse of the one which has been puarsned, and which, it seems likely, will vet be l continued :we mean heavy indirect taxation, In these days when the most enlightened coun tries in the world are adopting free trade prin ciples, and which they find year by year to in crease their prosperity, it is sad to find our leg islators yet impressed with the idea that an “l'l'\'-\'ilu policy is better suited to us, To sup- pose that free trade means a mere equalization of duties, iscan error into which many seem to 3 have falien. England now rejoices not only l that she has abolished protective aduiics, Lt 'l chiefly that she has gradually lowered all du- ties. Yoar by yeur, as the revenues of that l country increase instead of heing dininished by continuned rednctions in duiies, it is the pride of her Chancellor of {he Exchequer to anunounce in his hudwet that he will still be enabled to make further reductions, The example, how- ever, scems lost on many. _Any ene acgnuinted with the wanis and priva- l tions existing in this community will have al- ready learnt how much those privations have been inereased sinee the coods imported the =o-called Danish ("!‘{ll.:';!;\' have heen i charged full duiv. ‘The seanty, yea almost f racoed house linen, the worn ont wardrobe. are things to be met with in all families exeept the wealthy. The high price of food also is se- verely felt by every man of family and yet an- other step seems about to he taken in that very path which many already feel to have beena biunder. We did not fail to raise our veice, feeble it mayv have been, acainst this levying of duties on Danish goods, but it was insinnated that wo and the few other members of the Comicil wio l held the same opmion, were now sufficiently ac- quainted with “political economy.”™ We argued that an equalizaiion of duties being desirabie it e were better to make that equalization at a low rate rather than to maintain so exorbitant a du- ty of 124 pr. es, But as we were not educated as a political economist our words were unheed- ed. T'ime has shewn the result. But there is another consideration which must be kept in view. 1f St. Thomas demands duty i on our exports to that Island, we shall not only have to pay that 1} pr ct. but the trade be- tsween these Islands, hitherto carried on with so i little difficulty, will be interrupted by custom house entries and other unpleasantness never hefore experienced, and which, we are sure, will he more heavily felt than can be compensated f for by a small increase in our Custom revenues. Acain, what will become of that wholesome competition between the St. Thomas market and those in this Island who import Dreadstuff directly from the United States!? Could a pnr- chaser here obtain his flour or meal from St. 5 Thowas, where those articles have already paid duty, and, after paying full duty here, find those articies costing him the same price as he couid purchase tem here for 7 And when that com- petition ceases, what will repulate the price of I those neeessaries in this Istand! Let us then let very well alone, and if we cannot at present travel on the new road of free trade, let us at least stop where we are, and Bethink ourselves in what manner we might in a very short time endeavour to imitate the exam- ple set us by those who have already proved that direct taxation is preferable to indirect taxation. i FIRE REPORT. i

I the night on the 2nd Instant, about 1 o’clock, smoke was scen coming from the Cellar under the House No. 60 corner of Hospital and Market Street, West End, belonging to Miss Bibiseo, and on searching a box was found burn ing, standing on a wooden table in aroom, with ashes in, but which was extinguish ed without further difficulty or alarm. It is presumed to be occasioied by the carelessness of some one, who had intend- ed to use the ashes for washing purposes and had left live coals in it. I believe the case is under investiga tion. E.
