Class Criticism.

In all schools there should be establish
ed a proper spirit of criticism among the
pupils. Not given in spirit of self lau-
dation, but kindly, and for the advance
ment of the pupils. In my estimation, a
pupil is as worthy of encouragement for
giving practical criticism during class
recitation, as one who rccites a perfect
lesson.
In many Of our public schools the
classes are too large to admit Of each pu
pi! reciting at every recitation. In such
cases those who do not recitc, by paying
strict attention. to the others, receive a
great deal of benefit thereby, and arc
able to see wherein the recitation may be
improved.
Pupils should not be confined too close
ly to the language of text books. Allow
them to use their own language; it is
much easier for them, and is good prac
tice IN exercising their inventive powers
in the construction of language.

Our paper contains this week an &C
count Of the daring attempt at robbery
which was made at Mortified last Thurs
day. 1t sounds more like the tales Of
brigandegc in olden times than like a
reality. 1t seems scarcely possible that
in this age of the world in thickly popu-
lated State a band of men in open day.
light would enter city and undertake to
murder and rob its citizens, and yet the
tragic events of last Thursday establish
the fact that neither civilization nor mu
nicipal authority, nor State law afford
any protection against the incursions of
bandi'ti. Life and property seem to he
no more secure in open daylight than in
the thickest darkness. Crime has become
a profession and it embraces many men
of the highest order of talent, and of the
most varied culture.
