Philadelphia Court.

In Philadelphia John Smith pleaded
guilty, in the quarter sessions court, to
having entered the dwelling of George
Francis in the night time with intent to
steal. Smith is about 6 feet in height,
robust, and of apparently great muscular
development. Testimony was taken to en-
able the court to determine what degree of
punishment should be imposed. The chief
witness was Francis wife, a buxom,
middle aged Irish woman. Francis is a
German. In the middle of the night, -
she said, 81 was awakened by q great
noise. My little gur'l was still sitting up
and tremblin' and starin' hard at some
thin in the dark. I followed the Ct uue
of her eyes. and, heaven betune us an evil,
what do you think l saw 2" What ?"
asked Assistant District Attorney Kinsey,
with evident interest. "That big man in
dock, just creeping under my bed. Did
l holler? Oh no. l quietly took
hold O. the blanket, never sayin' a
word, and my husband still snoorin',
and l waited. scarcely breathin', till the
men got near enough to me, when l
whipped the blanket over his head and
hNd him there as nice as you please. Ah,
ha, my bye, says !, have you now in a
net. Wild that he set up sich squirmin'
and strugglin', and I thought he would
escape me. He's good 6feet, as you can
see, and broad accordin', and he was like
a whale in herring net. But held him
in the blanket with his head to the floor, till
my husband. wakened by the noise and
the schramin' of my childer, jumped out
of bed to help me. gave my husband
tho blanket then and snatchin' up my
youngest baby, s months old, l ran to the
windy and cried for help. The man and
mo husband had it together. The man
managed to get his head out O. the
blanket and bolted for the dure, and my
husband after him. The thief slipped on
the second or third step and tumbled all
the way to the bottom. l saw an officer
on the street. called out to him and he
came in and arrested the thief" Mrs.
Francis story was corrOborated by her
husband and police officer. Smith was
sent to the Eastern penitentiary for two
years.

PHILADELPHIA, for the first time, is
about to try the experiment of having
superintendent of its common schools.
and the appointee, Prof. MacAllister, of
Milwaukee, comes to his work well rec
commended and giving earnest of a proper
appreciation of it in his declaration that
the principal duty of superintendent is
to interpret the course Of study and see
that it is properly applied. He especially
demonstrates his comprehension of the
needs, and most generally the lack, of
the ordinary school system when he says:
1t is in the primary department where
the very best teachers are wanted not
simply SO as to lay proper foundation,
but because in all large cities there is
vast proportion of pupils who never get
beyond that grade. Hence what educa-
tion they receive here, as it is all they
are to get, should be the very best that
it is possible to give them" 1t is an in
version of the proper order of things
which puts the least qualified, the least
experienced and the lowest salaried
teachers in charge. of the primary schools
and over the largest number of scholars.
At the age of this class of pupils they are
most susceptible to educational infu-
ences and the mental impressions made
are most enduring. Why does the aver
age school director ignore this patent
fact?
