The Police Question.
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
In late number of the ADVANCE,
you take the ground that it is the duty
of the police to put guards about dan
gerous places in the streets and side
walks, and, also, to enforce the ordin-
ances against cattle running at large, of
their own volition and without COM
plant being previously made. Now, to
do this would involve expense some-
times, and how would the policeman be
reimbursed for his outlay, if the coun-
Gil wruld not sustain his act? l believe
with you, but I hold that the slack per-
Torrance of police duty in this city is
more justly chargeablc to the City
Conncil, thau to the police officers.
Yours, ETC.,
COOP ORDER.

The Last Day Of School.

How often we have heard those
words during the last few weeks. and as
our schools are closing throughout the
county, I suppose various impressions
have been made. Our schools and pu-
pills have been different, therefore our
mork not the same, and though not
tired Of Our work for the little folks I
think we shall be glad to have at least a
short vacation and rest.
What a variety of thoughts Will fol-
low the teachers work, as the term
draws to close, for no matter how I'M
pleasant some circumstances connected
with our schools may be, there will al
ways be some bright faces and loving
little hearts we feel sorry to loave. If
we have felt interested in their little
pleasures and joys and shared in their
childish sorrows and disappointments,
our friendship will be doubly strong.
I often feel that We do not fully real
ize our position as an example to our
scholars. If we have succeeded in win
ming their esteem, how soon We will see
them trying to initiate us, or hear them

example is more influential than pre-
cept, and then should we not be very
careful when We remember that to us is
entrusted the responsibility Of prepar-
ing them (for the time being at least
for life of usefulness.
know that some times we get dis
couraged, because we do not see our
pupils making as rapid progress as we
would wish; I suppose that we SHOULD
remember that the seed time and harv-
est are simultaneous: that the farmers
sow their seed carefully and wait pat
iently for the coming harvest. Thus do
we SOW seed by the way, and hope to
see in after years, the fruit of our lab
Ors.
Let US then as teachers and pupils
try to profit by the lessons taught US by
our great teacher, Experience, daily in
the school of life, so that when called
away from earth it may be said of US
that we have done what we could.

This elegant structure is now complete.
In beauty Of design it surpasses any
thing Of its kind in the State. Con-
structed of brick and dark marble it is
as permanent as it is charming. The
English architects have adorned it, in
subdued colors, which please without
firing the eye. DR.. j. G. Aver built
and gave it to the town in acknowledge
ment of the distinction they conferred
upon him in taking his name. Although
tits a generous gift, still the hearty good
wishes Of a whole people are of greater
value, and the generous donor has
doubtless secured them.-Groton,

In using the word "police'' in the art
icle referred to, we did not confine our
meaning to the City Marshall and his
aids, the patrolmen, but to the entire
police authority of the city, or in other
words, to the municipal government,
generally in its executive capacity. In
the case OF a dangerous place in the
street or sidewalk, the question is not
responsibility for the damages done,
but rather: who is responsible for the
occurrence of circumstances occasioning
liability to damage?
If individual citizens are responsible
for accidents growing out of such neg
lects as that on Third street, what
right has the city to interfere in any
case of obstrusting the streets or leav-
ing dangerous places on the sidewalks?
The very fact that the municipal author
tiles have the power to improve the
streets, fastens upon them the response
bility for the occurrence of accidents
from carelessness in leaving dangerous
places unguarled. So, too, with re-
gard to cattle running at large. In all
these cases, the city is the party res
ponsible to the individual sustaining in
jury or damage, and the city has the
power to punish the citizen whose neg
ligence leads to such damage occurring.
Hence it follows that it is the duty of
the police department of the city gov
eminent to guard against accidents
from leaving dangerous places in the
streets and sidewalks, and charge the
expense of so doing to the owner of the
property on which the dangerous place
exists; and, also, to take care of cattle
running at large and compel the owners
thereof to pay the cost of so doing.
The purpose of exercising this auth
GRITTY should be to prevent accidents to
persons and damage to property, and
not to punish vindictively the individ-
uals through whose negligence such
things occur.
