It is an admitted fact that the public schools of this city are shamefully inadequate for the accommodation of the children of school age. Tens of thousands of children are excluded because “there is no room.” Rev. Madison C. Peters, of this city, gives it as his opinion that “the main reason why there is not enough school room for our children is because too many of the enemies of the public school system are its commissioners and teachers.” “Call the roll,” said he, “and you will find that at heart many of the commissioners and teachers are friends of a rival system.”
