To the Editor OF the Star
There is talk CT change in the Musical
| Department OF the Public Schools A
change is desirable by all means and one
that would effect some improvement in
that branch of education. 1t is quite nat
ural for taxpayers to EXPECT some visible
exhibition of benefits derived for moneys
paid out After two-years trial of the
present teacher and no perceptible signs of
improvement brought to light, it is gener-
ally conceded that change is desirable.
JUSTICE,
The discussion concerning the High
School has strengthened the course Of sec
| ondary education, and although some
changes may be made, they will only be in
the interest of the High School. Music is
gaining sure footing in the public schools,
but this study is not yet regarded with uni
versal favor. The admirable work done by
Prof. Waiter Aiken in the schools and the
enthusiasm aroused by the late Sangerfest
in Cincinnati have tended to make music
more popular here than ever before.

Second street at an early hour Monday
night, in company With Miss Leila Camp
bell, daughter of VIM. Campbell, an es-
| teemed and worthy gentleman, who resides
IN the suburbs of our quiet city. A COM
| plant was lodged against Reynolds at the
Station-house by Mr.. Henry Earheart,
charging him with using his house for the
purpose of prostitution, whereupon the
Mayor detailed Policemen Bruck and Zol-
lers to make the arrest as above stated.
When taken before His Honor, they were
| released to appear at 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, but before that hour arrived they
had taken a train for Cincinnati Miss
Campbell is blonde of the purest type,
stylish and pretty, and most highly con-
nected. All her friends and parents deplore
her disgrace. If Henry Reynolds, faithless
husband (he is married man and seuucer,
could see the wreck which his last escapade
has made of once happy girl, he would
shrink from the gaze of all decent men,
and hide his head where the sunlight could
not shine upon it.
