Yesterday. One half day In each week Ia devoted
10 ,ovinR-a very useful branch Of study, We
should say-for the little girls. The industrial
| department under the charge Of Miss Abby @.
Hawes, Is not the least interesting feature Of the
school, and that lady. report shows very cred.
liable financial and industrial record.

lady, have devoted themselves especially to every
thing which might tend 10 promote or advance
tho welfare Of the children, either In physical
or moral sense. The lady teachers are also
deserving Of great praise In their unsel6sh efforts

ulate themselves that they have those hero who
are so we'll adapted 10 every respsct to the posi-

The BALTIMORE PoLICE.-We noticed in
Yesterdays Baltimore Daily Commercial that
tho police Of that city have received orders from
thsir headquarters to practice military drill at
least one hour in each day also, an order to re-
port to their superior officers tho localities oi
and names Of the proprietors Of every disreputa'
BILE and disorderly house on their several beats,
with the object Of abating such nuisances. We
also noticed In paper Of a city further North.
an order to arrest all inebriated persons found
on their beats, take them before the magistrates
and compel them to testify whore they obtained
their liquor, that the proprietOrs may be dealt
with accordingly.
porially and otherwise, deprecatory ofthe police
system existing in this District, and some have
J even gone so far as to iaud tho forces Of othol
cities at the expense Of that OF our own
, This may all look well enough In print TO thos
who, like the writers Of such articles, know abou
: as little concerning the working Of the polio
, here as they do about writing for newspape
generally; but we beg leave to inform oil sucl
that the Metropolitan police force Of the Dis
tr.ot Of Columbia will stand as q No. organiIa
} tion as TO nsatness Of appearance, System ane
efficiency In comparison with any other like iore'
In the United States, and probably out Of 1t
| The orders lust issued In Baltimore and else
where, as enumerated above, have oil along beer
standing orders here, and have been enforced n
such. In fact, II 10 only those who feel the re
straints Of these unwhOlesome orders that ar
disposed to harp against the system and the mel
who so unremittingly enforce their able superior
orders. .-.-.
