Disciples Of Wackford Squeers.

Some Of the members Of the Board of Edu-
cation are DESTROYS of restoring fogging in
the public schools They wish to put the
birch and the cane in the hands Of the
teachers, so that they may pursue the sys-
TEN Of education adopted at Dotheboys
Hall. and beat learning into the scholars in
manner that will prevent them from Grub
bling it OUT in a hurry. The Commissioners
who advocate corporal punishment assert
that nine out Of ten of the teachers favor it,
on the ground that it is not possible to
maintain discipline without using the rod.
A few children, We are told, cannot be
reached by any other means than nm appeal
to their personal fears, and they are suffi-
cient to demoralize a whole school. Expul-
punishment, it would leave those who mostly
need training destitute of all instruc-
ton and constraint. The President of
the Normal School is credited with
originating the remarkable proposition
that certain schools be designated in differ
ent parts of the city in which children may
be beaten ut the pleasure of the teachers,
and to which unmanageable children may
be sent As the qualifications OF teachers in
these semi-penal institutions must OF course
be of a muscular character it might be an
improvement to place them at once under
the control Of the most distinguished
bruisers and clubbists of the police force.
Ii nine-tenths Of the public school teach
ers really favor corporal punishment it is
an evidence that they ought to be put to
some other business. II a person cannot
control school by other means than brute
force he is unfit to be intrusted with the
duty of education. Nothing could be better
calculated or more certain to destroy
the popularity and efficiency Of our
school system than to license such
teachers as may be brutes by nature
to indulge in their brutality at the
expense of the scholars Besides, the pres
ent condition of the schools, as compared
with their condition when corporal punish
ment was permitted, is conclusive against a
return to the barbarous system. 1t is
limited that the teachers who clamor for the
rod desire to vent their anger ut the reduc-
ton of salaries on somebody, and, as they
cannot beat the Commissioners or the Board
Of Apportionment, are anxious to ''take
il out" of the children. There have
been instances of such n noble re-
yenpc. IL have disappointments to
contend against, said Squeers, look

paid the penalty Of the deficiency IN the
sqneers treasury. We do not believe that
our public school teachers have any such
that nine-tenths of them are advocates OF
the rod. The idea of restoring corporal
punishment is confined to a few crotchet'y
Commissioners, who, if allowed to control
the Board of Education, would soon cause
our public school houses, now filled with
happy children, to be deserted.

The efforts of Mr.. Bergh to suppress the
disgraceful and disgusting swill milk stables
on Long Island deserve, the commentator
and support Of every citizen who desires to
preserve his family from this dangerous
poison and who reprobates the brutal con-
duct Of those who traffic in it. Mr. Belgh
has done some things in his honest zeal for
the prevention Of cruelty TO animals which
we do not regard as warranted by the neces-
stiles of the case; but whenever, as in this
instance, he exercises the powers of his
Office for the benefit Of the whole COM
munity while carrying out the laud-
able ideas of his society, he will never
fail to enlist the full sympathy and CO.
operation Of the HERALD In the interview
which we print elsewhere to-day Mr.. Bergh
justly complains of the disgraceful apathy,
or worse, exhibited by local magistrates and
iuries in cases where he arraigns malefac-
tors, such as the swill milk dealers of Long
Island, before them. His experience teaches
him to regard the representatives of the law
as the special protectors of these inhuman
wretches instead OF being the instruments
Of justice in furnishing them. The Dog
berries who preside at the trials are usually
elected 10 Office by the votes and influence
of the owners of these foul dons of disease
the swill milk stables-and MS the political
power of these people increases in pro-
portion to the number of dying cows they
manage to stow away in their pens, the
greatest criminal has the best chance of es-
cape from the punishment due to his
crimes. AS the summer advances this hor-
rible traffic will become deadlier danger to
the public health These dens must be de-
stroyed in the most summary manner known
to the law if we would escape from this dam
ger, which strikes its most fatal blows at the
tender lives of helpless infants. The re-
spectacle farmers Of Long Island must COM
bine to root out this evil at once, if they
would avoid forcing on us the necessity of
quarantining against Long Island milk and
guarding our ferries against it's introduction
into New York.

Outwitting q Tyrant.

It was in the year 1S48 that the leading
citizens of the chief towns of the Lom-
o-Venetian kingdom avowed openly
their detestation Of Austria, and they
only awaited favorable opportunity to
throw off the yoke. AT one of the thea
tiers Of Venice, on certain evening, a
magnificent bouquet was thrown upon the
stage at the feet of a beautiful danseuse.
1t was a rare piece of workmanship, was
the bouquet, and its three colors, of red,
white, and green, were so arranged that
the symbol of Italian independence could
not be mistaken. The ddnseuse picked
it up, and kissed it repeatedly, and pressed
it rapturously to her bosom, while the
vast audience applauded vociferously.
On the following morning the actress
was summoned before the police author
tiles, and sharply questioned touching
her absurd treatment of the boQuet which
had been thrown to her on the previous
evening. She tremblingly answered that
she had only done as she always did
when such beautiful tributes were. given
her.
every WE'LL" said the Austrian chief;
thereafter, when bouquet is thrown to
you thus publicly, you will trample
upon it with your foot. Do you under
stand?"
She said she understood, and she was
suffered to depart. She went to some
of her friends and told them what had
happened.
"Ah," said the artist, Antonio Luigi,
"aud you will trample upon it,"
III must"
''Then 1 win see that you have the
right kind. Be brave, pretty one. and
we will win applause again. Wait"
That evening, when the favorite dan
seuse had acquitted herself grandly, a
huge bouquet was thrown upon the
stage. Mercy! what Il bouquet it was !!
A broad field of strange flowers, the only
colors yellow and black-the imperial
standard of Austria! There could be no
installing it.
"Bestiaccia" great ugly BEAST, said
the. actress, loud enough to be heard over
the house. And then she jumped upon
the yellow and black symbol, and tram
pied it heartily.
For time it seemed as though the APP
plause would shatter the building. The
police saw, and took the hint. and did not
venture to interfere further with the
bouquets of the bold and favorite dan
seuse.-S. O., dr., IN N. Y. Ledger.

MANNERS AT TABLE.-As do the old so
will the children do. If, when a child
asks for biscuit, it is picked up by the
parent and handed around one vt time,
or thrown to the child, there is no chance
to reprove the child when it does the
same to the parent. When parent eats
with a knife, and forgets to use the fork,
the child is warranted in doing the same.
A chatty, cheerful table is always to be
desired, free from formal stiffness; but
freedom is not rudeness, ease is not boor-
ishness; good breeding will show its
presence quicker at table than in the par
lar or saloon. Let parents be careful to
set the example, aud the children will
not be slow to do likewise.

A PLEASANT SUBMISSIVE call to
mind one instance of "hazing"-a cruel
amusement which is very popular in all
colleges-which is as sweet and touching
as such instances are generally revolving
and disgraceful. 1t was noticed by some
sophomores that two country boys had
begun their housekeeping in room on
the ground floor of one of the college
halls, with . miserable apology for bed,
no carpet, no table, and only two chairs,
as the sum total of their outfit. 1t was
learned also that they proposed to board
themselves, and had only a few dollars
for their food during the term. "On this
hint they acted" On "Bloody Monday"
night-the time on which the severest
hazing of the freshmen is prosecuted by
the sophomores-th poor, trembling
youths were sum moned by "soph," who
was not over courteous, to go to room
upstairs. Upstairs they went, pale and
trembling, expecting to be dealt with
without mercy. They were detained there
an hour or SO, not being molested, but
only being quizzed by the circle Of
'sophs" in the room. Then they were
dismissed to their own room. When they
entered it, it was over nice new carpet.
There was tasteful bedstead and appur-
tenances, IA study table, chairs, a lamp, a
book case, . stove, and 30 forth, and in
their closet they found provisions for
several days. This was hszing to a
blessed purpose. Let US hope that this
instance Of clemency may not stand for
ever alone.
