THE ADOLF TON OF RECESS.

| In conversation yesterday with an old
| patron of our schools an ARGUS reporter
learned something new. at all events it was
new to him. 1t will be remembered that
for some time past there have been nu-
meroas arguments pro and con, respecting
| the abolition of recess, but few of our peo-
pie know that one reason why it was de-
termined-by the school officials to do away
with it was because of the vulgar and
profane language continually used by some
of the unclean ones in the hearing of the
others. And this very fact has led at
least one gentleman to take his children
out of school.
All things considered, the ARGUS looks
upon this course as an inexpedient, not to
say cowardly. surrender To a few vicious
boys, large and small, and believing in the
necessity of a recess. both forenoon and
afternoon, for school children for reasons
which commend themselves to everybody.
the ARGUS has this TO offer as the very best
solution of the problem. 1t has been tried
in other places and works to u charm
Let the children have their out door play
spell as usual. but insist upon the presence
of each teacher in the play ground or on
the steps overlooking the ground and
within plain sight and hearing of the
scholars. In the city of Syracuse, N. Y,
a city with So 600 inhabitants and possess
ing u school system between which and
ours there is no comparison, each teacher
in good health is compelled to thus act as
an on. door monitor, in both summer and
winter. very much to the Improvement of
her ewn physical health and the moral
health of each of her pupils. Let the
school superintendent OF Rock Island
adopt the same plan and we will hereafter
hear less senseless gable about the advis-
ability Of abolishing recess. Everybody
of sense knows that it ought not to be
abolished.

mourned as that of Longfellow, although
Bryant's death seemeh to have left voice
less chasm in the world of poesy
The ARGUS takes great pleasure, there
fore, in noting the fact that at the High
School in this city to-day the work OF the
students was wholly confined to refresh
g4and elevating recollections of America
dead poet During the entire day there
were readings and recitations from his
poems and in other ways, by explanation
etc., the young people were made to feel
their Republican relationship, to say the
least, to one of the worlds sweetest sing
ers The influences springing from a
knowledge of such relationship and re-
newed acquaintance with the noble senti-
ments upon which Longfellow's poetry was
founded, must certainly be felt, in a
greater or lesser degree. by every student
who took part in to-day's exercises.
The idea is a most commendable one.

THE NEXT SHOW

| On Friday evening next the Frank l.
Frayne combination will appear in Harper's
| theatre in new, but said be to remark
ably thrilling play called 'Mardo," to which
| the Boston Gazette thus refers:
"Mardo," or. the Nihilists of ST. Peters
burg" produced last week at the Windsor
theatre by Frank Frayne, deals mainly
with the novel incident of the long lost
daughter of a wealthy parent. The locale
is all the way from Salt Lake City to
Siberia, and the surroundings from Nor
mondom to the Court of Russia. The hero.
Mardo, is also lost child, and turns out to
be the scion of NOBLE Russian There is
much incident of lurid description, thrill
ing situations by scores, a villain that out
Herods Herod. the Czaorwitch. huntress
of the West who is a Countess, and other
persondges, of equal importance. There
are, besides. a dog, trained bear and
lion The climax of the play is reached
when the hero enters the lions den. and, by
removing the collar from the neck of the
animal, purges himself of the charge of
Nihilislu; it being well known the Nihilists
will moi place themselves in that dangerous
position, while all who are not members of
that revolutionary body evince no obiec-
ton to run the risk of being torn to
pieces. The play was very well performed
throughout. Mr.. Frayne enacts the hero
with equal spirit and effectiveness.

FROM PRESIDENT ADAMS.

Still another contribution to pre- his
toric literature has been uneartbed and has
found its way to the ARGUS office, in the
form of letter from John Adams, when
president of the United States, to friend
at home. 1t is as follows:
Dear Sir:
/ long to hear from you, on several &C
counts. lon the topick of your health
in which | am interested, for ought
know mere than you are. 2-On account
of the health of brother Cranch and all
other friends.
3-On account of my hobby horse
= how stand the buildings? How goes
the wall against Mr. Black? Is my ma
nure on the hill which hope will be green
next year, spread? Have they brought
up a sufficient quantity of tea weed? 4
How stand the politicks of Massachusetts?
This is work enough for one letter from
your affectionate j. ADAMS
Hon. DIR. Tufts.
The foregoing will show that even in the
midst of the cares of state President Adams
found time to bestow most minute atten-
ton upon affairs at home. In fact thrift,
economy and attention to details consti
tuted the corner stone of the edifice so
successfully reared in the olden time by
the renowned Adams family.

entertainment is precisely what it has been
pronounced, an evening with Momus.
The beauty of the work of this

that many of the outbCrsts of the comical

and not the effect of fatiguing rehearsals.

John Adair had pretty lively experience
last evening on the Elm street hill. The
hour was rather late and as Johns trusty
greys were hauling a ton of coal up the
hill the surface of which was so smooth
that it was pretty slow travelling for them,
they must have been thinking of their sup
per 'unbeknownst" to their owner. When
within a few yards of the top of the hill a
boy dashed by on sled and away went
Jshn's greys, with their ton of coal, like
pair of birds. John was afoot and the
harder he pulled on the lines and yelled
whoa" the faster the animals travelled and
the way they yanked that ton of coal up to
the top of the hill was caution. What
between sliding, running and yelling
whoa" John had pretty lively time of it
for few rods but he finally conquered |
though his wind WAS clean gone. Next |
time he says he will ride up the hill if his |
horses are as lively as that after hard |
lays work.
