The leading position of the Millers-
vile school among the normal schools of
the state OF the whole country in fact
the relation of those schools to our
state system Of free schools, and the i'm
portant question of co-edHcation of the
sexes which they have to deal with,
invest the Millersville difficulty with
an importance justifying the space we
surrender to a temperate discussion of
it from the stand-points of faculty and
students, by those who know either
side of it. These presentations
leave little to be said and make
up a fair issue for the public judgment
which the situation invites. The facts
seem to be very clear that there is room
for misunderstanding as.to what are the
clearly defined regulations of the school
management which the faculty have the
sole authority to enact; that there is
room for a difference of opinion as to
what is and what is not proper limit of
criticism of the schools regulations, to be
INDUCED in at the society meetings of
the students and that the present re-
volt has much more strength and signifi-
canoe than our correspondent who
writes in behalf of the school authori-
ties comedies to it.

The lillessyiIle Case.

The 1illeEsville Case.
The authorities of the Millersville
school tell us that the rule promulgated
by DR.. Brooks on Friday, prohibiting
public criticism Of the school, was
adopted on the previous day /; and we
are further advised that the faculty has
authority to prescribe the rules for the
schools government. This being SO, DIR.
Brooks's promulgation Of the rule on
Friday must be conceded to have had
the force of authority but it does not
seem to have been understood by the
students that the rule had been enacted
by the faculty and not simply by DIR.
Brooks. Nor was it announced in such a
way as to give 1t the force of a regularly
and properly established rule. They ap-
pear to have q very slip-shod way of ad-
ministering things at Millersville. At
any other institution the rules would be
properly eDgz6ssed and conspicuous
ly posted up. Probably it would
have been inc0nvenient to post this
rule, because it does not seem even to
have been put into words by the faculty.
No rule has yet been published. DIR.
Brooks declaration that criticism which
.s." deemed improper by the faculty,
,.,a,,,a ~ ut be permitted, is all that we
h.va to ou,. Gus as to the character Of. the
rn,e Under Il evidently, any criticism
would be dangerous, =. IL "cu,a 10 a'm'
cult to determine what .'isn' not oe
deemed Objectionable by the THU. 'shlhhed
people who were criticised.
And certainly if adverse criticism or
any kind, and however respectfully ex-
pressed, is forbidden by this rule, there
will be no difficulty in deciding that pub
lie sentiment is entirely against the
claim of the Millersville faculty that it
was proper rule to promulgate.
They should, on tho contrary, have
welcomed any properly expressed criti-
cism of their rules by their students,
who are not children, but young men
and women! And they should have
been glad to see that they were ready to
declare their opinions in the presence of
their teachers, and did not desire to
sneak behind their backs to proclaim
them.
We agree that it would not be proper
to address to teachers abusive language
even in a society meeting. Abuse
is not ever proper; and GER
tainly not from a subordinate to
one in authority. But criticism
duly expressed is always in order and the
more clearly and openly it is made the
more it is entitled to applause. So far as
these students expressed their objections
to the school rules to their teachers in
language not abusive, SO far they were
not only innocent of wrong, but entitled
to warm consideration {; and SO far wo
give it to them.

preston which he finds to have gained
some ground that the public school sys-
tenn Of this state has been administered
for some years past in a spirit of hostility
to the colleges" He declares the con-
trary to be the fact and cites many of his
official recommendations urging legisla-
tion favorable to the colleges and to a
closer union between them and the public
school system. He found this policy to be
not only his official duty, but he was per-
sonally grateful to the Pennsylvania COL
leges because he had received over and
over again, from the colleges of his own
state, the highest honors they could be-
stow. "There are few colleges in the
state of one or the other of whose literary
societies he is not member and he has
served several of them as a trustee and in
other ways. Indeed, no other man in the
state has such binding personal reasons for
beinga a friend of colleges and collegiate
education, aud he is proud to point to his
official record to prove that he has not
been ungrateful."

brothers and sisters, husbands and wives,
etc., are gross exaggerations. All reason
bic persons will admit the propriety of the
restrictions above stated, and no one who
has daughte or 4 sister here will COM
plain of the efforts of the faculty to pro-
tect them from hurtful influences and en-.
barrassing remarks.
But why should this opposition to the
rules be SO much stronger now than in
former years. In answer to this it must
be stated that a year or two ago a sort of
social mania broke out in the school, and
some ladies and gentlemen abused the con-
fidence of the teachers to such an extent
as TO render it necessary to impose addi-
tional restrictions. To these restrictions
few students have not yet become
reconciled, and tho present excitement is
an outgrowth Of this fact. The result
will be the purging of the institution of
this virus of discomfort aud disloyalty,
leaving it healthier and stronger than
ever.
Now, gentlemen, in conclusion, hope
you willallow me to express my dissent from
what you say concerning tho fitness of DR..
Brooks for his position. All who know
him we'll sustain me in the assertion that
his skill as disciplinarian is no whit in
ferior to his ability as a teacher and a
scholar. He must be judged by his sue
cess. No school can long maintain
itself without good discipline. Now look
at the history of the Millersville normal
school. For some fifteen years it has been
under his control, and during this time
has achieved its greatest success. While

A Novel Surgical Job.
TROY N. V Times.

A delicate and novel operation was
performed at the hospital this morn
ing on John Farrell. Eleven years
ago, Farrell, who came from Omaha,
swallowed two false teeth and the
rubber plate attached. A number of
attempts have since been made to
force the plate into the abdomen.
These operations were unsuccessful,
but served to lodge the substance in
the lower part of the gullet. Aside
from the suffering, Farrell has for a
long time been unable to partake of
other than liquid food. This mornings
operation for the removal of the
plate consisted in making an incision
in the neck behind the ear, dissect-
ing the windpipe by an opening of
about three inches, and another in
cision in the gullet. She following
surgeons participated in the operas
tons: Drs. LcLean, Nichols, Cooper,
Hutchinson, and Mason of this city;
Van Vranken of West Troy, Moore
of Cohoes, and O'Connor and Her
rick, resident physicians at the hos>
pital. The patient was administered
narcotic before the painful opera
ton. The operation was entirely
successful. The plate was removed
with the teeth intact.
