CO0kinp in a Normal School.

At the next meeting of the board of
public education, says The Phitadel-
phia Ledger, a plan will probably be
reported by a committee, and pressed
for final action, for the introduction of
cooking as one of the branches of
study in the girls normal school. 1t
has been found and SO stated in the
official reports to the board that the
time given to sewing in that school,
which was taken from the rime for
merly devoted to other studies, has
not lowered the standard in those
studies, and that, on the contrary, the
change of employment has reacted
be%neiicially upon them. Prof. George
w. Fetter, principal of the normal
school, is of the opinion that cooking
may be added by slightly modifying
the curriculum, with results equally
advantageous to the school. Prof.
Fetter considers that two or three
hours a week. after the actual i%nstruc-
ton in cooking begins, will be sutfi-
| cient time to devote to this subject.
He thinks that the expense of such a
school would amount only to the pay
Of u teacher and to the outlay for the
necessary fixtures, as there are four or
five rooms with ranges, exit upon the
street, etc, in the basement, which
are not used as class rooms, and
which ere admirably adapted to this
purpose; and he says, as the food can
be readily disposed of at cost to the
la1 ge number of girls who attend the
school and who would no doubt pre-
fer those well-prepared hot meals to
the cold lunches which they now
bring with them. This consumption
of food is not opened to the objection
raised by all educators to production
rs an end in industrial education.

versally conceded By the ablest writ
ers and thinkers, that mothers arc the
chief architects OF their children's for
tunes, for to their wisdom is confded
the formation and molding ol
character. "Give me more good
mothers," cries the Future, 'sand /
win promise you a nation Of great
men" Strong, healthy souls cannot
grow from perverted habits and IN
trained ideas, any more than 6gs can
come Of thistles.
Il is unfortunate that maternity
does not always bring with it dignity
and unselfshness. Here the woman
devoted to fashion fails. The little
beings, often unweIcome, often thrust
upon the world with On heritage Of
deformity and disease, grow bewiI-
dered by the hard things Of life, and,
all untaught, unguided, creep up to
the stature of men and women bear
ing only the abnormal fruits of dis
eased Imagination. On this basis
the ''rising generation" for which so
much anxiety is pretended, is being
now largely formed. The mothers Of
to-day are responsible tor the men
and women Of the future, good or bad;
and fashionable mothers must decide
between life of inanity, vapidity,
and frivolity for themselves, with or
spring who shall emphasize in their
characters oil that is weak, ignoble,
and helpless. and a purer home at
mosphere, which shall develop more
simplicity ofmanner, more benevolent
and kindly feeling, with elevation Of
thought, and love of honor. A time
comes in the life of every thoughtful
child when it will turn and judge its
parents.

vorably with any similar organiza-

recently been added, and the band
now numbers some eighteen FIRST

the band 'contempIates giving several
open Dir concerts during the summer
on the State House Hill or some
other convenient place, and we doubt
not they would be source Of great
pleasure and enjoyment to our citl-

An IMPoRTANr DECIsroN.-As wal

An IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-As was
mentioned in the CAPITAL Of Monday
Mcssrs. John Hipkins and Henry
Campbell, two resident fishermen Of
this city, had been arrested and taken
to st. Michaels for trial, for violating
the fishery laws Of that county, by
hauling seiene in the waters thereof.
The case was tried on Monday last
at St. Michaels, before Justice Sparks,
Major VIM. E. Stewart, States At
torney for Talbot County representing
the State, and John Ireland, Esq,
OF the Annapolis bar, for the defence.
The Easton Independent gives the
following particulars Of the trial:
Henry Campbell was resident of
Annapolis and the meshes Of his seine
were five inches around the square;
that is, one inch and quarter to the
bar, and he hauled his seine in Wye
river within the limits of ofTalbot coun-
ty. on the second day of July. The
above facts were admitted; and also
that he had permission ofthe occupant
of the land on which he hauled. Mr..
John Ireland prominent attorney Of
the Annapolis bar was present and
ably represented the defence, and
States attorney, Mai. W. z. Stewart,
appeared for the State.
Mr.. ireland contended that any
citizen Of the State could, with con-
sent Of The oc cupant of the land bor-
dering on the water, take and catch
fish by seine-hauling in the waters Of
Talbot county; he maintained that
the Acts of 1882 and 1884, repealed
the Act Of 1874. Major Stewart con-
tended that no nonresident Of the
county could seine-haul ID the waters
of Talbot; that residents and bona fide
voters Of Talbot COS aty were the only
persons who could seine-hauI in the
county, and then only in seines, with
meshes not less then FIVE inches
around the square; that the Act Of
1874 was the law on the subject and
had not been repealed; by that act the
residents Of the county, with the con-
sent Of the owners Of the land, could
haul seines, provided the seines were
not landed in water less than twelve
inches deep; In other words, it is un-
lawful for any one to land seine on
the shore that by the Act Of 1874,
no nonresident Of the county could
take or catch FISH ii the waters Of the
county in seine with meshes less
than fUe inches square; that is, each
bar should be Eve inches long, (a
Seine Of this size would scarcely hold
. porpoise;) and as 40 seines were
made with such meshes. it was = total
prohibition Of seine-hauling by non
residents.
'.The Squire convicted the party,
and fined him Eve dollars, as he was
Of opinion the act Of 1874 was il force
and as It was in evidence that Mr..
Campbell was advised that he had q
right to seine-hanl and was no inten-
tional vioIator Of the Inv, be would
impose the lowest fne; which 6ne
Mr.. Campbell paid and moved his
camp from Talbot waters.
"Now, as the law has been constru-
ed. Il non-residents seine-haul ii The
waters Of Talbot county, they win do
it with their eyes open and cannot
expect to be let of with q smaIl ino.
by the act Of 1874 it seems that

land can haul seines n Talbot va
