The single item OF instruCting the 247

LIST. That this large expenditure has not
secured to US as great benefits as the out
lay demands.
End. That too much male supervision
teuds TO tho destruction, in subordinate
teachers, OF Individuality and Vltalizlng

After a very recent and searching cx-
animation bya special committee Of tho
Cincinnati schools they say "Dur.

ing the examination Of principals and 9th.
ers, It was asserted, and we believe It TO
be true, that the amount olsupervision at
present in our schools has tendency
70 sLitle and crush out such q
thing as individuality and to hinder the
growth OF sell.reliance" Modern peda-
gogues agree that one Of the most i'm
portant aims of education is 10 make q
child selErcliant, capable oil sell control
true republican" allow much more
should this be the case Of the teacher who
stands before the child Us the ideal"
1.-THE time has come when each teacher
should be thrown more npOn his own re.
spOnsibility." "Aller oil that can be said
in favor Of much supervision there Is
practical limit to its usefulness"
That committee further reported That III
is not economy to employ u principal IN
teaching when tho boari can obtain that
KIND Of work for unG.hali the pay"
at therefore must hereafter be
the policy Of this board TO reduce
the number Of special teachers and Of
principals 10 a just minimum" and the
way to determine that minimum Is
ITO have It understood that the main
work OF principles shall be the inspection
and examination Of tie schools assigned 10
them, and tie disposal of difficult cases Of
discipline" and that "placiDg greater
number Of pupils and teachers in charge
OF q principal gives him better OppOrtu.
nifty Of comparison, and will enable him
TO form q more just estimate oil the work
performed" and they unanimously recon-
mend the adoption Of this new rule, viz :
"PrineipdLS-0ne principal shall be ap.
pointed for every eighteen hundred pupils
in average daily attendance"
From the foregoing testimony, and
much more Of kindred character TO
which your committee have had, access,
we are OF The decided opinion
1st That with the expenditure oil the
same money, without male principals VIC
con have better schools.
End That without any male principals
and at less cost we can have better
schools.
3rd That with two supervisory priuci-
pals and at less cost We can have better
schools.
4th We find that with female princi-
pal at salary Of 5000 and an assistant at
a salary OF $500, there will be an annual
saving in each sub. district Of $40, and to

BALTIMORE April 24.-BEEF CATTLE
On the opening Of the market this week
there was q generally depressed feeling
among dealers, and disposition TO antlCi.
pate lower prices; this, in some instances,
was the result, and. a, decline Of Satc was el-
fected; but the market as ii progressed i'm.
proved o shade, and became little more
active, prices assuming closing Compari.
sou with last weeks rates. There were u
lew more top cattle than last week; but the
average of the middle grades, Of which
the offerings chiefly consisted, was scarce.
ly as good as they were then. A few car
loads were re.shipped East without being
offered here, and few also were taken by
their owners into Pennsylvania.
Prices to-day for beet cattle ranged as
follows: Best beeves OF Sc 00a7 50; that
generally rated first quality S. 25SG 90;
medium or good fair quality "a S7a5 25;
ordinary thin steers, oxen and cows 81 504
81; Inferior and lowest grades Of cattle
50 00a0 00-generally average Of the mar.
ket to-day s. 81 extreme range Of prices
81 J0a7 81. Most OF the sales were from
s. 90 10 9 90 per 100 lbs. OF the receipts
400 head came from Ohio, OF from Mary
land, Q from West Virginia, 90 from Vir-
ginia, 1888 from Illinois, 1872 from Pennsyl.
vania-total receipts for the week l,lG7
head, against 1,l03 last week, and 05S
head same time last year. OF the offer
ings 500 head were taken by Baltimore
butchers, 21O head sold 10 Washington
city and Annapolis dealers, and Al head
10 Eastern speCulators-total sales for the
week 1000 head, against 1867 last week,
and 935 head same time last year.
SHEEP AND LAMBs.-There was light
run OF sheep this week, but the receipts
were quite sufficient for the demand,
which Is rather limited. There ore a few
wool sheep still coming, but they arc but
little called Tor, the demand being chiefly
for those that arc sheared. Such lams US
are in pens are not Of prime quality, and
there is but little demand; prime ones arc
in request and scarce. We quote wool
sheep ut Ga75c, and clipped at 4iaGic per
ID gross. Lambs at So 00a5 90, and extra
SO 90 per head. Receipts this week 1885
head, against 1915 last week, and 1885
head same time last year.
HoGs-The receipts during tho week
were much lighter than last, but the run Is
Just about even with the demand. Prices
during the past two or three weeks have
fluctuated go greatly and with such
rspidity that the butchers have become
more cautious and buy very sparinglY,
being dissatisfied with tho prices, and
confidently anticipate lower figures. The
result will probably DO that prices will
vary very little, II any, for some days to
come, unless there are more hogs on the
way than arc now known to be coming.
We quote corn.fed hogs in fair demand ut
IS 00aS 25, still.ied at$7 50a7 70, and
extra at IS per 100 lbs net. Receipts this
week ISL head, against S572 last week,
and 1854 head same time last year.

making total reduction Of $3.50, Of
which Clay's proportion is $40, Or over
5000, more OF saving than my other
sub district; and as the commissioners Of
that sub district seem TO be unanimously
OF opinion that they eau have better
schools under this arrangement, VIC see no
reason why the change Should not be

With view to gradually reduce and

The Sham Conservatives Of Virginia arc
making q great huo-and-cry about carpet
baggors and carget-bag governments In the
South. This ls simply the old game of the
curprit crying stop thief, to divert atten-
tlon from himself. The tables appended to
the article below have been compiled with
grca, care from the official figures Of the last
census, by J. Weed Corey, ESQ.,, Of Herndon,
Va. They are worthy Of the closest scrutiny.
They show Virginia to be the glorious old
mother OF carpct-baggers rs well as Of Presi-
idents. She furnishes 5000 Of the popula-
tIon Of fifty Of the largest cities Of the Union
and $4,000 citizens OF the other States, ex-
elusive Of West Virginia, while she has only
about 1900 natives Of other States within
her borders, leaving balance against her Of
$40, 435 upon this carpct-bag question. These
figures are enough to stop the cry Of all
sensible and honest men about carpet
baggers." They arc reliable, and cannot be
lodged or explained away,
