ROBBERS ARRESTED. We published an ac-
count yesterday, Of the robbery Of Mrs Martha
Mason, near Budd's Ferry, in Charles County,
Md. Mrs. Mason, is most respectable and
excellent lady, and formerly resided in this
place, where she has many friends We learn
from the Port Tobacco Times, that the robbers,
two black men, named Day and Butler have
been arrested As soon as information of the
outrage was received, Constable T,,B. Delozjer
with party, started in pursuit and succeeded
in arrested Day on Monday night in negro
cabin near the ''Trappe," in the lower section
Of the district. The gun was found in the
cabin, and the watch and about Sc in money
upon the person Of Day. Later, on the same
night Butler was also arrested. Both are now
in Jail. AS they were leaving the house, after
committing the robbery, seeing that Mrs.
Mason, who had been left lying on the floor,
was still alive, one of them hurled a brick at
her, which fortunately missed its mark. We
hope such punishment will be dealt out to these
miscreants as will be warning in the future to
all of this class. -

ever held in this city, and the remarks Of the
different speakers, leach of whom strongly

A Suggestion.
the change

| wish through the Column, to r>mind
those interested Of the necessity that ex-
lists for teaching scholars hoac to study.
Many really Intelligent boys and girls,
spend months and years, and often an al
most incredible amount of labor, in the
rain attempt to acquire thorough know
ledge Of the common branches taught in
our schools. | can only account for this
by assuming that the failure is solely at
tributable to an indistinct and indefinite
idea Of the proper manner of studying If
a pupil knows how to study, he may be
said to posses, in an educational point of
view, the philosophers stone.
| would suggest the propriety of the
teachers saying few words relative to
this subject, at the time of assigning each
lesson accompanying the same with a
short explanation Of some of the leading
and most difficult points in the lesson.
This seems to me, q matter of great i'm
portance, and it is my earnest wish that it
may receive the attention it deserves.

Surely it isa terrible outrage for teach
er to "sit perfectly silent" while the poor
guileless chlldrf N are compelled to give &C.
curate solutions to " fourteen " prodiglous
problems in mental arithmetic" Verify
it is detestable tyranny to require such a
pursuit Of the ''ramifcations' of those ug-
~ fractions" that were wont to drive our
worthy parents mad" in the olden time,
and such precise placing of every ''iota, "
To think, too, of the audacity of the per.
fectly silent teacher, IN interrupting the
placid meditatiGns, OF the energetic pri-
v"'e s ~.e!r.as of pupils, by impudently
+ oquiring them to take up solution at
various and most inopportune moments OF
its progress. How much better it would
be to assume a goodnatured smile, encour-
age a considerable amount of discussion,
say in regard to the Importance OF the
study. indulge ina little pleasant gossip,
and with winks, hints and catchwords, to
delude lazy and inaccurate boys and girls
| into the belief that they are neither one
nor the other, and thus prepare them for
failure and disappointment in life, instead
of success and happiness.
We believe it to be the teachers pro-
vince to control the pupils studies, his
recitations, and his conduct: that the
teachers success is in direct proportion to
the degree of accuracy in recitation, and
propriety in department; and that the
teacher fails toiust the extent that he does
not require this accuracy and propriety,and
therefore, it is the teachers duty to insist
upon both, in spite of any amount of
awakening" To be sure the wise teach
er, will not court the oppositin Of any
patron, but he would be the vericst pol
troon, who, for fear of inccrring the oppo-
sition OF parents, would be imposed upon
or allow his pupils to impose upon them
selves
| Allusion was also made to the ventilation
of the room. We had supposed that our
city school buildings were well ventilat-
ed, and our children freed. from the neces-
SHY of breathinga poisoned atmosphere"
At any rate we apprehend the teacher is
not responsible for any defect in their
construction.
When the awakening" which Pa
rent invokes, is accomplished, it will be
| found that in s'some OF the departments"
there are orderly, industrious and accurate
pupils, instead OF the lawless rabble that
! we have all sometime seen there, and
which little mismanagement can now re-
instate; and we venture to predict, that
intelligent parents will not fail to appre
ciate, and thank the earnest, capable and
self denying teachers who have effected
the change.

----------~--S -
Theory and Practice of
Teaching.
HORACE.

We gave to our readers, in a recent is
sue, two communications, having refer
ence to Theory,an Practice of Teaching
The one for the "Orgun," from " dist.
treasurer Piper" represents the ideas Of a
class of "of1icerS" occasionally met in
the rural districts, who regard every i'm.
provement in methods of teaching, and
school government, and school supervision
as an Innovation and "redikulus NONSENSE
cal fol-de-rol" Particularly if any ad-
Venturous teacher undertakes to repair
sketches" or procure clocks, or shovel, or
tongues, on any of the ordinary convent
ences ofciyilization, do these conservative
Solons feel called upon to protest agin
the hifalutin notions of skoolmasters in
general and ourn in particularly"
The second communication evidently was
written by the more plausible, polished,
and oleaginous city grumbler. Though
differing somewhat in photography and
syntax, from the first, the sentiment plain
~ is, In my opinion think it is hi time
foaks new what is goin on in our skools
now days" We are inclined to regard
the article in question as direct attack
upon one or more of our most successful
teachers, and as such, we deem it injudi-
Cious, unnecessary and undeserved. 1t
seems strange to us that-as soon as Wese-
cure teacher possessing sufficient com
mon sense, knowledge of human nature,
and strength of will, to Danish idleness,
deception and hypocrisy-in short that
knows how, and possesses executive abili.
ty to rule, instead of allowing himself to
Become the cictins of those much abused
highly sensitive, and hopeful youths who
kaaegutsL in some of the departments" =
parents should be called upon to "awake'
TO the importance of doing something to
aessen his influence, and impair his effici-
epcy, and secure his ostracism.
Parents are not always impartial judg-
as of the attainments, qualifications and
capabilities of their children :" to be, to
do, or to suffer" Usually they are credu-
lous when told of what the children are,
(if the account is favorable,) more credu-
lous when told of what they can do; but
most creduloas, and apt to awake when
tpld that they suffer.
