A Sneak Thief,s Haul.

On Monday night, between the
hours of nine and ten O'Clock, the
store of Wells & Wagar, part of
which Is occupied by E. j. Wells,
jeweler, was entered by the back
door and about $500 worth of
watches and jewelry taken. 1t has
been Mr.. Wells custom to take home
with him every night his most valua-
BILE goods. On the night of the rob
ibery he had the goods in trays piled
at one end sof a shew case, leaving
chem there while he locked up and
went to the theatre, intending to re-
slrn after the dose Of the perform
sance and take them to his residence.
A bright light was left on the show
case. Uuon his return to the store
the robbery was discovered and steps
taken at once towards securing the
thief, blu. up to the present writing
no clue has been obtained.

OUR B SCHOOLS.

A prominent member Of the school
board complained to us the other day
of the lack of interest taken by many
of our most prominent citizens, in
our public schools, and in his COM
plants included the Kimball papers.
His criticisms may be just to q GER
tam extent but not TO that degree as
to include the GRAPHIC. We take q
lively interest in our schools but the
pressure on our columns is always so
great that it becomes almost impos-
sible for us to devote space to many
subjects fully as important as our
public schools. 1t may not be out of
place, however, As long as u iron is
in the FIRE, to make q few comments
upon our public school system.
If there is n thing the people of
the United States pride themselves
on, it is the common school system If
this country. There is no excnse for
any person not receiving at least .
common school education. But with
all this there r many who lock
upon the educational system of thss
country az. given up too much to
theory, and too little to- practacsl aP-
plication of those studies which vial
prove of special advantage TO the
students after school life. That he
present system is we'll calculated fas
the development OF q professional
lie, all will 4gree, but beyond that
except may be in theory, nothing a
. practical nature is introduced. ON,
schools and colleges are turning out
scores Of graduates in the scientific
branches, SO called, every year. Thes
turn out lawyers, doctors and preach
ers by the hunA reda. when there h
already an over abundance OF sa'et
material In the community, but they
fail to turn out young men who hav'
the fsintest idea, even in theory, out
side Of text books, as to business
mechanics or farming. 1t Is in thi
we may say that our common schos

system Is a failure. The GRAra1,
would net MAINTAIN that our schools
are a failure in the strict meaning Of
that term, but they do fail to turn
out a class of men and women who
have the falntest idea of . practical
life, SO far as their own self reliance
and support is concerned rs relates to
a business life, and who will by force
Of circumstances be compelled to rely
on such, and only a natural ability,
generally undeveloped 80 far as study
is concerned, can be relied upon to
bring about a successful result.
The whole aim of our public school
system seems to be not what can you
learn and learn it well but how much
can you learn and half learn it.
Young scholars scarcely in their teens
are forced into Greekand Latin when
they have not half mastered the Eng
.lish language. They are graduated
from high schaols when but sixteen
years At age with = little smattering
of Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading,
Composition, Geography, Latin,
Greek, Algebra, Geometry, History,
Tr,gonometry, Science Of Govern
ment, Natural Philosophy, Phynol-
ogy, Anatomy, and 80 on through the
list OF text books. The fact of the
matter is the student learns none Of
them we'll and in two years or less
hss TO learn over again that which
ON most an use in after life. What
ne naintain is that pupils should be
obliged to study only those higher
branches which may be thought best
by his or her parents. As the classes
are nov graded every scholar in the
class is obliged to study the same
text books. One student may be an
extra good gramarian and capable f
advancing way beyond his class, bat
simply because he may be > poor
mathemshe.an or lacking in some
other studies 10 that his average 10
not up to the standard, he is kettback.
We think there should be an A, B,
Caul D. grammar class and * on
through the other studies, so that 2
student might he in theta grammar
class and in the D geography class,
