ONE OF THE EFFECTS.

The unfortunate but inevitable conse-
quences of the course Of conduct adopted by
the School Board have already begun to
show themselves. Not only are the children
leaving the schools in numbers but the en-
tire discipline and ambition which has
hitherto been so commendable feature in
our system of public schools is 'now notice.
ably lacking. The teachers and pupils of our
High Schools have heretofore worked to-
gether in pleasant and harmonious course,
and to this, in a large measure, is due the
great success attained by both preceptor and
scholar.
In past sessions one of the greatest incen-
tives to labor was the competitive nature Of
the system of teaching adopted. Each scholar
labored earnestly to reach and retain the head
of his or her class, and the post Of honor was
one of the means which led to the thorough
education gained by SO many students Of these
schools. Now, as matter of course, the col
ored children admitted to these schools,
knowing, as they must know, in what light
they are regarded by the other pupils, and
being anxious to occupy high positions, many
of them resort to all species of fraud and
trickery known to school children to accom-
plish their purpose, and the successful ones
of course reach high grades in the classes by
virtue of their application and deception COM
bined.
The white children see that if by earnest
and close application to study they reach the
head of their classes, they must perforce come
in close contact with those they would rather
avoid, and SO they are content to remain
lower in their classes, and need not study
near SO hard; SO thus one Of the greatest in
centives to labor is removed, and there must
bs consequent deterioration in the degree
Of excellence reached.
This statement is based on no idle suppo-
stion, but is founded upon actual converse
tions with some of the pupils of one of our
High Schools, and is an indisputable fact.

The Downward Path-An Example.

1t will be remembered that some time ago a
young man by the name of Geo. McClairy stole
a horse and buggy from gentleman by the name
Of Mr.. Rodgers.
Mr.. R., upon learning that the young man was
of respectable family, Immediately withdrew
the charge.
Ever since that time George has been follow
ing life that moral people wouli not indorse.
Yesterday morning Capt. Cbas. Drownds repaired
to the Office Of the Chief Of Police, and informed
Col Loan that he had been robbed of lot Of
silverware, and that he suspected friend, who
resided in the same house with him, Of being
guilty of the robbery. This friend was George
McClairy.
Col. Loan referred the gentleman to Major
Boyle, acting Chief of Detectives, who placed two
of his men to work up the case.
The men were not long at work before they ar
rested George" He was incarcerated in the
Central Station. The stolen property has been
recovered.
