THE ASSESSMENT ACT.-The following
extract is from the decision of the Court
of Appeals, delivered by Judge Bartol,
pronouncing the Assessment Law, passed
last Winter by our Legislature, void. 1t is
simply a mockery to send men to Annapo-
lis to enact such abortions. Had Governor
White and Groome, not applied the veto
so freely, we would doubtless have had
many more such homogeneous acts on the
statute books of the State. The Judge
says:
"Even if this law were not obnoxious to
the fatal objection we have stated, there
are many defects, imperfections and incon-
sistencies in it's other sections, which, al
though they would not render the act alto
gether void, yet if it were attempted to
put in operation, would inevitably be at
tended with difficulty, and perhaps give
rise to much litigation. The thirty fourth
section is liable to most serious objection
on constitutional grounds. 1t declares
that the "rules and regulations, forms and
blanks prescribed and adopted by the Comp
troller," as provided by sixth section,
"shall have the same force and effect in
law as if they were herein enacted" Such
provision is clearly void. The Legisla-
ture has no constitutional authority to del
egate to the Comptroller the power of max
ing laws, and such is the import and effect
of this section"
1t would save time and expense, and an
inconceivable amount of subsequent litiga-
tion, if the Legislature employed an able
lawyer to draft all bills.

SATURDAY MORNING.

Called to order by Prof. Newell. Roll
call. Prayer by DR.. Squier. Subject of
Grammar taken up and discussed by Mr..
Watts as to the best method of teaching,
being too much technical and not practical;
followed by Miss jerks, who was followed
by Miss Johns and Mr.. Warner as to their
methods of teaching, Intercepted by Prof
Newell. Miss Lille Howard would as soon
undertake to teach Greek as grammar to a
primary class; the book should be thrown
out of the class where children are under
fourteen years Of age. Grammar is taught
more in the family circle than in books.
Prof. Newell concluded and announced a
proposed course that will introduce scien-
titic grammar at about the age of thirteen
or fourteen, small children being taught to
use good language by constantly correcting
all errors, thus practically teaching without
book. Miss jerks asked, would Prof.
Newell object to teaching by analysis on
Howard objecting. Prof. Newell thought
that the appetite should be responded to;
if the child inclines towards grammar, let
it be gratified, or anything else that they
take an interest in.
Programmes Method of teaching by
analysis and synthesis, discussed by DR..
Squier on the wonders of the mind in
analyzing all subjects, with numerous illus
trations from the life of farmer, the daily
duties of the physician, reasoning from
cause to effect: may be commenced at too
carly age; child receiving much of his
knowledge on trust must be made as simple
as possible, not didactic but interesting.
Followed by Mr.. Warner, declaring analy-
sis the true method of teaching arithmetic,
Directing to dry rules. Mr.. Qugley said
\ Ii n
in primary classes; must teach certain
forms as absolute facts. Miss Biddle
favored analysis, but is often compelled to
resort to the old methods. Prof. Newell
said the two methods are in reality but one,
they being the reverse; illustrated by TAX
ing watch to pieces, then restoring all
the pieces, it being necessary to do the
first before the second can be done; meth
DDS better than rules, should depend upon
the rational methods, when analysis is too
difficult, teach the process, afterward the
reason why, thought children should be
taught to know why and to give the reason
for all things that they may do. DR..
Squier followed and said that should
physician come to him when sick he would
take his medicine with faith, asking no
questions; so with the law, as well as the
ology; many things must be taken on
faith; children are not an exception; they
must receive many things as a fact with
out knowing the reason why; the teacher
must judge as to the capacity of the child.
Rev. j. E. Alexander favored each method,
as children are constituted SO differently
that what may be applicable to one, would
fail in another coral instruction and
object teaching" Mr.. Quigley would unite
by telling all that would be useful with
the object before them. Miss Roberts
