A School QUEsTIoN.-TO the Editor
of the Register:-Because the public
schools of this city will be opened again,
after the Christmas vacation. tomorrow,
| bcy leave to state the following TACT to
you that has come to my knowledge.
The scholars or the public school IN one
ward are torJidden by their principal to
throw snow balls around or in sight of
their school house, while in another ward
the scholars attending the public school
there are allo'ced, by their principal, to
do thst.
l, for my part, consider the throwing
of snow balls, near or in front of school
houses, on the part of scholars attending
school in said houses, not decent amuse-
ment. But think that the promotion
of decency, or In other words, social edu-
cation, is one of the duties of our public
schools. In my humble opinion freedom
and social education are not a. variance
with each other.
Ought not uniform rule to exist in
the above matter for all eur public
schools? and which?

SOME OTHER REMEDY NEEDED
Committing prisoners to Jail in default
of payment of fines assessed by the police
court is all well enough, in some in.
stances, but there are cases in which
some provision should be made for the
collection of fines and costs assessed on
those who have property. At present
there are two prisoners confined, one at
the work house and one at the county
jail, for nonpsyment of fines, both of
whom are property holders, and well
able to pay the fines imposed
on them. We refer 10 Henry Klevis,
who owns property on Caldwelrs
run, and Elizabeth Ankeny, who owns
property near the Riverside mill, whose
IMPRISONMENT in the county jail, is an
addition to the burdens sfthe city. Were
some provision made TO force the pay
ment OF fines when assessed on persons
having the meals TO pay Them, one step
in the direction Of economy and reform
in municipal affairs will have been &C.
compllshed. Whist can be done?
