The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-02-06


first $35 and gradually increased the
amount to tS4, saying that he had before
paid officers money for his release, men
tioning the sheriff of Madison county, Ills,
as one. He SAID the officers there oil knew
him and the sheriff had been down here
since and taken 9 drink with him. But
Mr.. Levi mistook his man this time; he
didn't have our whilom states.attorney 10
deal with, and he went to the county Jail
where he will await the sheriff from Cape
Girardesu. For his children 3 sake be is to
be pitied.
The city council met last night in first
regular session this month. The meeting
was short and the business chiefly routine
and disposed Of with dispatch. Most note
worthy of the matters disposed of was the
report of the joint committee to which had
been referred the petition of the st. Louis s.
Cairo railroad company for right of way
over upper Washington avenue and Levse
street. The committee reported at length
upon the subject, recommending that the
petition be not granted, and giving its
reasons therefor. The council also decided
that police headquarters should be moved
to the council chamber, where there is
ample room, and which would save the
rent Of telephone and Of an additional
room. The officers will not like this move,
however, for it will be much less con.
vsnient and too much out Of the way. But
the city saves 1892 per year by the arrange
ment.
Some people will always find fault
with others work, feeling sure that they
themselves could do much better; and
critics are generally severest upon those
who labor gratuitiously, for the mere salts
faction of an uncomfortable inclination to
do something Newspaper men and school
directors come under tins head. The for
mer catch the devil almost every day, and
most frequently and fssrfully because they
innocently print some apparently innocent
little squlb, purely for the accommodation
of some Innocent looking friend. School
directors who labor for love and the good
Of our youth are q little more fortunate,
generally, but they are closely watched by
few parents whose children attend the
public schools, and any act of the beard is
promptly submitted to the test of prejudice
and condemned if it is found to imply q
hint at the pocket-book. But further than
this these few parents concern themselves
very little about the public schools. Pa
rents generally, in fact, do not give them
the attention they ought to do. Our public
schools have of late not been much annoyed
by visitors. Yet there is perhaps no one thing
that actuates child to pursue his or her
studies with renewed diligence more than
to know that father or mother will listen to
the recitation. "For too many parents"
truthfully says an exchange, "sre too will
ing to shift the burden of responsibility of
their chlldrens education from their own
shoulders 20 that of the teacher. The
teachers paid tor his trouble, and I'll not

some children get at home.
Unless the parents cooperate with the
teacher, children will not make the graft
flying proficiency that they will if the pa
rents are in sympathy, and assist the teacher
by supplementary instruction at home"
The keen eye Of an experienced teacher
can tell BY 4 casual observation the chill
drsn who are taught at home, whose pa
rents stop to answer questions, and some
times to honor his childish dignity by ask
ing few. There is reason to believe that
parents here do not manifest the interest in
schools that is calculated to encourage the
pupils as we'll as the teachers.
