GIVE THEM sHovELs BY ALL MEANS.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD ..e
The HERALD Of this morning cleverly "complains''
as follows:-
Commissioners Nichols Chairman Of the street Cleaning
Bureau asks Captain Gunner Chief of the De-
partmen Have you any streets dirty in New
York;"
Never" the Captain replies.
what! Neveri" fH
SWELL hardly ever"
Now. nave counter complMnt. For years the
"fnest broadway squad police in the world" has
been in the habit such days these. when Broad
way is full Of slush and snow. of dispensing with
the baton and arming themselves with shovels
cleaning the crossings. New York taxpayers have
been in the habit for many Of paying little boys
and girls for this service. Why should the gentle
men Of the Broadway squad be thus employed when
Gunner and others have leisure? To-day conf
dentially approached Of the Broadway squad and
inquired why he and his associates thus employ their
time. His answer In substance that ''under the
old regime the Broadway squad were i'll the habit Of
doing this duty for their own convenience and that
of ladies crossing broadway; that one day Commits
sioner Erhardt walking down Broadway saw one of
the force thus employed and Immediately an order
was issued prohibiting such mena labor on the part
of the squad. We do it," added he, ''but we are
liable to be put under charges for it."
WE'LL Mr.. Editor. how would it do to request the
Police Commissioners to detail Gunner. Nichols and
others who have charge OF street cleaning to clean
the Broadway crossings? BY all means give them
shovels. A BROADWAY TRAVELLER

PUNISHMENT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERAID:-
May be excused for calling your attention to o
system Of correction In use in our public schools
which, think. must be great and permanent injury
to the children. 1t is . common custom to tie the
hands behind the back tic tho knees together and in
this piuable condition strap the child to
the seat. Another mode of punishment Is to
compel the child to hold the hands above
the head ut full arms length. There several
other devices used for torturng the children into
obedience. but will only mention one more aud
that Is making small mark on the blackboard and
causing the child to watch it till the eyes have be-
como weakened that the power Of seeing IL i'm
paired for some time afterward. Would not q ju-
dcious OF the rod be far better for the after life
OF the young ones? A PARENT.
