Excerpt from The Dangerous Classes of New York and Twenty Years' Work Among Them A rigid rule has been laid down and followed out in these Schools - that is, not to admit or retain pupils who might be in the Public Schools. Our Object is to supplement these useful public institutions, and we are continually sending the children forth, when they seem fit, to take places in the Free Schools. Many, however, are always too poor, ragged and necessarily irregular in attendance, to be adapted to the more systematic and respectable places of instruction. As has been already mentioned, the plan has been steadily pursued from the beginning by the writer, to make these as good Primary Schools as under the circum stances they were capable Of becoming. The grade Of the teachers has been constantly raised, and many of the graduates Of our best training academy for teachers in New York State - the Oswego Normal School - have been secured at remunerative salaries.
