on Dayton's Bluff and on East Sixth
Street West of Phalen's Creek.
To the Editor of The Globe.
1t is of the most vital Importance fol
the people on Dayton's Buff to have
safe and convenient roadway as an out
let to and from the city.
The Seventh street bridge was built fol
this purpose, and it has done its services
1t is in condition now thatit is unsafe
for any one to cross it, andlthose travel
ing over it do it at the risk. of their lives,
The bridge must be rebuilt or more
substantial roadway must take its place
To this end the old bridge must be re-
moved 1t will take a year and per-
haps more, from the time the new I'M
provement is commenced, betoreIt can De
completed In the meantime the people
on the bluff will find themselves virtually
cut off from the city, unless they venture
crossing over the twenty five unprotect-
ed railroad tracks on lower Third street,
or through the dangerous tunnel passage
on Fifth street.
Now, why not, in the face of this, pro-
coed at once and provide for proper and
permanent crossing over the creeks and
the railroads on Sixth street and keep up
the present Seventh street bridge. by
proper repairs, until the necessary bridges
and filings on the line of Sixth street can
be completed When this is done, it gives
the residents on Dayton's bluff all neces-
sary relief and they can then afford to
wait for ten years, if necessary, until the
council can be moved to act upon the re-
construction of the Seventh street i'm
provement.
My suggestion, 1 admit, is not free from
selfish motives, but it also involves mat
ter of considerable importance as public
measure.
The Sixth street improvement, if made,
will unquestionably enhance the value of
every foot of property on east Sixth street
more than hundred fold and make it in
the near future equally as valuable as
Seventh street property.
If the property owners on east sixth
street in general look at the matter in the
same light as l do, would suggest that
they meet some evening and invite some
prominent property owners on the bluff
to advise with us as to the best and most
practical plan to carry out the project.
= have the assurance that a movement
in the above direction will meet the
hearty cooperation of Dayton's Bluff.

among Inc many ICdIurcS Oh our
schools worthy of special mention Is the
department Of penmanship, under the
supervision of Prof. j. A. Bond. As
much attention is given to the lowest as
to higher grades, and the work of
making pupils good penmen begins with
the first day of school life. The old plan
of requiring pupils to ''print' in the low
est grades, has been abandoned, and
drill commences with the script hand. In
the higher grades it is difficult to find a
pupil who has passed through the several
grades of our schools who does not write
creditably.
In accordance with belief that pupils
are best taught to read by the use of a
large amount of suitable reading matter,
which shall contain thoughts that are
interesting to children, rather than by a
drill upon few pages of the ordinary
school reader, the Board of Education
has purchased supplementary readers,
books of travel, geographical plays
and periodical literature for the use of
the schools. Much enthusiasm has been
developed by their use, and much better
progress is made in ability to interpret
the thoughts recorded on the printed
page than formerly.
The criticism has been made that the
culture of the expressive faculties does
not in school life receive due attention.
1t has been sought to remedy this by
talking and writing exercises daily. De
scription of pictures, reproduction OF
stores, letter writing and composition
work of various kinds has replaced to a
large extent the learning of grammatical
rules and definitions IN grades below the
High school, and the attempt is made to
teach English grammar by using its rules
rather than by memorIzing them.
Our space will not permit detailed
statement of the aim of the instruction
in the various branches taught in the
schools, or the methods employed.
Enough has been said to indicate that
their efficiency is increasing, and that
they have made remarkable progress
within the last few years. Their cost has
reached an amount that Is by no means
an ineonsiderable sum, but every dollar
judiciously expended for popular educa-
ton will enhance the general prosperity,
and be returned to the city an hundred
fold.
Our superintendent, Prof. B. +. Wright,
entered upon his duties with thorough
knowledge of all the details, and by his
able management has demonstrated his
eminent fitness for the responsible po-
sition he holds. So long as he controls
the educational interests of our city, par
ents may rest. satisfied that the education
of their children is in faithful and COM
petent hands.

ate abilities. The distinction between
the two ranks of pupils into which our
schools are broken up is not so great but
that bright ones may be promoted at any
time, and those who fail to pass required
examinations are not discouraged and
driven out of school by a provision which
would compel them for a whole year to
60 over their work again. The feXlblll-
ty of the system is further increased by
a provision for individual promotions at
any time when pupils show marked

During the last year an evening school
has been opened for the accommodation

themselves of the usual school privi-

The Presidents Message.

The message transmitted TO Con-
gress yesterday by the President,
though perhaps somewhat shorter
than that of last year, Is still neces-
sarily formidable document in
point Of length from the great varie-
ty and importance of the questions
discussed. The President begins his
message with general reference to
our relations with foreign powers,
and proceeds to note in detail the
more weighty and interesting ques-
tions connected with our intercourse
with each particular government.
With regard to the arrest of citizens
of the United States in ireland, he
says disposition to respect our rights
has been practically manifested by
the release of the arrested parties,
while that other subject Ofconnection
between this country and Great
Britain, our claim to the control of
the inter0ceanic canal, has continued
to be the subject of conference. The
difference on the subject, he thinks, is
more likely to be removed by time
than by discussion. The friendly re-
lations of our government with Rus
STA have continued unbroken, and
the courteous manner in which our
intercession in behalf of the Hebrew
population of that country was re-
ceiVed affords ground, the President
believes. for hope that the time will
soon arrive when all faiths will ~be
tolerated within the Russian bord rs.
Abiding to the international con-
yention held in Paris in 1880 with
reference to the protection of trade.
marks, patents, ETC., the President
calls attention to the fact that the
protection of submarine cables is now
under consideration by an internal
tionai conference in session in the
same city, and expresses the opinion
that it is clearly the true policy of
this government to favor the neutral
izatiOn of this means of intercourse.
In the interest of justice towards
China and Japan the President ex-
presses the hope that the question OF
the return of the indemnity to the
governments OF those countries will
reach solution at the present session.
In connection with this subject the
attention of Congress is called to the
question as to whether under the Ie-
cent legislation restricting Chinese
immigration, Chinese travellers may
lawfully pass through this country

A Great Storm Predicted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Presi-
dent has the following COmmunica-
ton from E. Stone Virgins, LID,
astronomer CT the Canadian Finance
Department. under date of Ottawa,
November o.:
"On the 23rd of September last l
announced through the Canadian
press that great storm would occur
in March next: that it would be first
felt in the Northern Pacific ocean, and
would appear in the Gulf of Mexico
on the night Of the 9th, and being de-
flected by the Rocky Mountains,
would cross this meridian from the
West at noon Sunday, March II, 1888.
No vessel, of whatever dimensions,
wi be safe out of harbOr and none of
small tonnage can hope TO sur
vive the tidal wave and fury of this
tempest, as the wind will blow from
the southeast the planetary force will
be sufficient to submerge the low
lands of the American coast, especial
ly those bordering on the Gulf of
Mexico and washed by the Gulf
stream, while the air currents for
several hundred miles along the east
side of the Rocky mountain range,
owing to the great atmospheric pres
sure in those regions, will spread
universal destruction. The New Eng
land States will also suffer severely
from the winds and floods. No point
outside of the harbor in the whole
area of the Atlantic north of the
equator will be a place of safety, for
this will he pre-eminently the greatest
storm that has visited this continent
since the days of your iliustrious first
President.
In view Of this event, therefore, |
take great liberty in representing to
your EXcellency the ACCESSIBILITY of
ordering all United States ships into
safe harbOrs, not later than the 9Th of
March, until this storm passes"

Temperance on Top.

A vote was taken in Anne Arundel
and Howard counties Tuesday on
the question of prohibition or license
of the sale Of liquor, and the result
was a victory for prohibition in both
counties. The majority for prohibit
ton in Anne Arundel was about 500.

large vote. The majority in favor of
prohibition in Howard was about
300. The temperance people are
very jubilant over their victory, for
which they have worked hard. The
liquor-men fought against the move
ment from the start, and, it is said,
spent great amount of money to
defeat it. This victory adds two
counties to the prohibition roll, and
there are now fourteen counties in
the state in which it prevails, though
in two or three of them IA few dis
