1t was in 1896.

1t was in 1896.
Among the operas which at that time
were tho rage in France, Germany aud
England, was Duni's "Lai,iere," CT
Milkmaid.
This little play bears throughout the
stamp OF cxtravugant naivcte; every
thing in tand about it is naive, hyer
naive-the milkmaid, who builds air
cssilcs upon her milk pail, aud then. in
moment of abstraction, permits the
foundation Of her hopes to fall from her
liead.--thc enamored huntsman. who
wishes for nothing more than some day
to shoot a bcar, whose skin, he is con
WINGED, will insure to him future care
aud sorrow Erer-and the bear, who,
to crown the wishes OF the lovers, iin
ally permits tS.nseil to be disposed Of
without resistance The huntsalan
shoots--the bear falls to the grsuad---
the victor seats himself upon the body
'.Hurrli, hurrah! how glorious ends the
Tic bear has los;--ihc hunters won Tie
day!"
Etc, etc etc.
The "Milkmaii' was at last brought
out in London, anl had soon outl.ycI il
dozen representations. The charnruy
music, the naive couplcts; were in every

PUBLIC SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT.
From the n. Y. Trihnre

From the N. Y. Tribune.
Mr. Gereke, principal OF noted Eng
Ish German school in this city, has ~
elaborate plan fol the rcmodeling of Tn,
public schools, and as he is put forward
a. the representative OF the German H.
erati Of New York in this respect, bu
plans are worthy of careful considerations
His ideas, in brief, are az follows: tn,
whole nation should co operate for tn,
establishment of thorough system of in
strnCtion, from universities to kinder
gartens This system should be so thor
ough that it would radidly absorb all o
the literally endowed private education
al institutions. The steadily increasing
number of private schools in this count
ry proves that he results of the fire.,
Sc Ools are as yet far behind those o
pnb,ic schools III other countries, wbirI
although not free, have almost entirel,
Ovurcntne the competition Of private in
stItut'On. The German nation owes il,
rGscn" from the m"ral, social and Dolitica
decay which century ago lad made l,
tl'c Ject OF u general derisicn and con
tempt, to the mental labors Of her grea
teachers, poets ard philosophers, and t.
her schools, The establishment Of fire,
high schools is of much more importanc.
than that of free military schools. A
co nparison between New York and Der
liz SHOWS how poorly supplied The tor
mer is in this respect. There are at
Berlin, connected with the University,a
seminary for teachers in the high schoo s.
two Normal schools for male and female
teachers in primary and intermediate
sch ools. 10 high schools, and a Polytech
mic Institute. ~
Among other faults found in the schools
of thus country by Mr. Ger@ke is the
great pieponderence of female over maIe
teachers, which is a proof that the pro
fession is not sufficiently paid. Ir is
shown by the recent annual report tina,
in the year of its issue there were in
th $ city 2,030 female and only 17R male
teachers Again, the irregular att, nd
ance aud unequal distribution of schol:
ars, resulting in over.crowded classes are
palpabe defects, especially in the prima.
ry schools. In the report last mentioned,
the average regular attendance was only
40 per cent. in the primary schools, in
the grammar schools less than SO per
cent, and even in the Normal schools
only 40 per cent. In one primary school,
