STRAW uoNDsMEN IN THE yeCATIyE


The IuvestiEatt0u Yesterday before Conn
missioner Adams.
There was considerable stir in official circles
yesterday over the result OF an Investigation ~
TO the eolvency OF the bondsmen Of tsahele,
United States pension agent, made by Specia
Agent Sprague. Of the Interior Department, who
arrived here about q week ago for the special
purpose Of investigating these charges.
shortly after the consolidation of the several
States. Isabelle, the former and present incum-
bent Of the Office In this city. filed his bond for
$4,000, and IL was accepted by Commissioner
Southworth, with the following named parties az
suretes: A. w. Faulkner. Columbia, La: q. w.
Boothby, New Orleans: F. Reid New Orleans; G.
W. Green, Shreveport; Joseph Henderson. st.
James, La; Vim. Randall yermilionville, and
Joseph Henry and Joseph Kaiser. OF New Or
leans.
The bond was duly forwarded TO Washington
aud accepted, and everything was lovely
until about two weeks ago when some individual,
whose name does not appear, wrote TO Secre-
tary Schurz and gave him to understand that
some of the nance attached to 1sabelle's bonds
we're fictitious and were not worth the paper that
they were written on. This information must
have come from reliable source, as Special
Agent Sprague was Immediately sent on to look
into the matter.
An investigation disclosed the fact that three
of the names were fictitious and have been
proven such. Mr.. Sprasue has reported by mail
and telegraph to Washington that the entire bond
is not worth over $4,000. Steps have already
been taken to prosecute the men who signed as
real estate owners under an assumed name,
when in reality they were not worth dollar.
An affidavit was made yesterday before Com
missioner Adams against one lott, who signed
the name of G. W. Green to this bond, and last
evening he was arrested and lodged in the Parish
Prison. The manner in which three Of these
''straw" bondsmen were secured will be shown
upon the trial, which will come off in . few days

KINDERGARTEN
Froehel's system of Education.

tt0rufIs system Oh hsNHfAN1Nns
We learn that Nine. Locquet-Leroy. who has
for go many years worked for the good Of eduoa-
ten In our city, has yet by her recent voyage to
Europe worked for that good cauae by becoming
initiated into new mode Of instruction for little
children of both sexes, from the age OF to
years.
The advocates Of the kindergarten believe that
Froebel has met this fundamental necessity in
education better than any other thinker. and that
the series of objects technically called Froebel's
gifta offer the healtheet nourishment yet dis
covered for the ohilds mind, and constitute the
beat basis yet known for strong and harmonious
development of the intellectual powers.
TEE EHoEnEL sysrEM,
40 widely adopted in Europe and in many cities
of the United States, has for its practical basis
the formula, ave learn through doing" II was
a favorite saying OF Froebel's that the world is
sick with thinking and can only be cured by
acting; and accordingly in tho Kindergarten free
activity ia the essential thing. The children roll
and throw their balls. build with their blocks and
lay figures with their sticks they fold, they sew.
they weave, they model and gradually the labor
of the hand clears the thought Of the mind. and
by using objects al material for work their prop
critics and powers are learned.
Nine. Locquet-Leroy intends organizing .
school on the same principles in New Orleans,
and adding this new school to the other depart
ments of her well established institute.
For that purpose she has secured the services
of distinguished teacher of st. Louis, Mrs. N.
Cooper, graduate of Miss 8. +. Blows normal
class of st. Louis. Mo. We hope that Nine. Le-
roy's success will fully justify the great expendi-
ture necessary to establish system 90 beneficial
to young children in preparing them TO meet
later, with less difficulty, their more arduous
duty in the school-room, in the use OF textbooks.
We refer our readers to her advertisement in
another column.
