AN EDUCATIONAL QUESTION

The teachers Of this city have been dis
cussing the abolition of the school recess.
There is very much to be said in the al
firmative. 1t is claimed that the health
Of pupils is placed at hazard by the sudden
change from the school-room TO the play
ground without the wraps pupils wear
when they depart for home, and which
they viii not put on at recess. Even in
summer it is doubtful if the recess is phys
ically beneficial, 1t IS claimed, except for
the youngest children. 1t shortens the
noon hour encourages hasty lunching in
those who 60 home at that time, and de-
priyes them Of the quiet that should sue
ceed every meal. The Popular Science
Monthly cites also as an argument used by
those of the affirmative at the East, the
fact that the recess encourages rude and
boisterous play, and TO some extent affords
opportunity for association with the Vi
cious, and consequent corruption Of morals.
In all cities rs in Sacramento. it has been
found necessary to detail a teacher at each
recess 10 remain in the school-vard and
within the hearing of pupils In the dis
cussion in this city il Is proposed, if the
recess is abolished, to make the school
hours for fulI-dav classes from 9 to II:80 A.
NJ, and from l:l5 to $50 p. NJ. thus en-
larging the incoming to one hour and three
quarters, enabling all the pupils to 90
home for the MONDAY meal, and 10 have
time for real rest or recreation. Il was
held here that the teachers can do more
effective work, without increasing the strain
upon the scholars, if the school hours are
unbroken by the recess. On the other
hand a committee of the American Council
Of Education has brought in a report ad-
verse; to the proposed change This
committee finds that the exposure
to the weather ate recess is
not hurtful, but beneficial. That the
change from the bad air of the school-room
to the purer outer air, and the opportunity
TO relieve physical wants IS conservative OF
health. During recess also. the atmosphere
Of the school-room may be purified by free
ventilation. As 10 rude and boisterous
play, it is declared that the play of recess
Is but a rehearsal of what is INDUCED in
outside of the schOol-room, with the adyan-
tage of that the teacher is present to re-
strain exercise; that moral corruption is
not generated in the open practices of the
recess, but in secret intercourse; that ihe
physical exercise INDUCED in at recess is
much needed. Finally, that while the
abolition Of the recess would tighten the
labors of teachers, the teachers office is
not to make things easy for him
sell, but by every means in his
power promote the well-being of his
pupils" Notwithstanding all this the
question may still be considered an open
one, since it is fact that teachers of broad
experience adhere to the affirmative,

ITALY And The ITALIANS.

EDS RECORD-UNION WE ITALIANS OF
II this city having seen in the Evening Bee
OF the I'D instant All article concerning Italy
and her inhabitants, we desire to answer the
sarcastic and offensive language. In expressing
sorrow about the unfortunate people that were
damaged by the avalanCheS in Italy, il was done
with TancOr and most insolent and vile terms
like man who (cctJ1m non hId,1 has no brain.
The " Bee " said "AvalancheS have of late
destroyed many lives in the mountain hamlets
of Italy We feel sorry for the unfortunate
Italians thus cruelty showed under, but cannot
help rejecting how much better of the people
of California are than the inhabitants of the
historic peninsula in the Mediterranean. Cali
tornia i Italy without its avalanches. volcanic
eruptions cholera, despotism, rags. poverty
dirt, macaroni lazzarOni and bastard Latin
In early days there were lawful LatiuS hut
now, according to the Bee they are all bas-
tards, and we Italians of Sacramento are in
cluded with them under that designation. Now
we answer plainly, that man RGtts Ia trj0jS)
born on the intersection OF three roads, would
have been more careful in offending and di-
rectly including the entire people of = nation
We know well that Latin is a dead language
and is only learned in colleges and spoken
mostly in churches Nevertheless if we do not
speak the mother language We speak Italian,
which is her daughter therefore we are not
bastards. We conclude our comment by saying
that a single walnut in Il sack can make no
noise. A. MAZZINI.

PORTER ON SPECULATION.

In his recent work-just from press-on
the Elements of Moral Science" Presi-
dent Porter of Yale makes the clearest dis
tinction between legitimate and repre-
hensible speculation that has yet been
given to the world. The venerable moral
list sets it down that speculation IN any
article of investment, use or trade involves
the evils of gambling, when no dellv-
cry is proposed of the articles which are
said to be bought or sold, and the bidding
or guessing or betting respects only the
market price at some future day" He
points ont by simple and therefore
most forcible logic, that if one buys any
thing in order to sell at future day, or
promises to buy at future day, he is per-
forming a legitimate act of hazard and
forecast, provided the goods are paid for
by the capital or the credit of the buyer
or seller, and are actually delivered" But
the distinction between this and the illegiti-
mate is made incisively clear. 4 To prom
Use to buy or sell, without the SOLDERING and
steadying process of paying on the spot by
cash or note, diminishes the responsibility
of the dealer in just the proportion in
which the cost of an actual purchase and
delivery differs from the amount which is
pledged to cover ones differences He
points out that it is by no means wrong to
use sagacity in anticipating what the state
of the market will at a future day, in
respect to any article of commerce, or to
buy or to sell accordingly what we may
have in hand, OF may be certain we can
buy; but simply to make a prediction,
and 10 pledge, it may be, all your capital
or credit in 10 or Is per cent. of an esti-
mated future market price, tempts men to
irresponsible ventures, without those sober
ing retraints ofreality which the response
bilities of actual payment and bona fide
purchase alone can improve. 1t involves
all the elements of imagination, excite
ment and responsibility which make
gambling so dangerous when it becomes an
occupation and a passion"

THE MARRIAGE BILL.

The judiciary Committee of the Assem-
bly, last night disapproved of Mr.. Munday's
marriage bill That is, the committee
practically says man and woman, by
secret contract, may marry, and by de-
struction of the contract divorce them
selves. Or rather, the committee in effect
approves just such infamy as the Sharon
Hill style of marriage, and do not deem
that society has any interest in requiring
publicity to be made of marriage. Good
morals, the law and the best thought OF
society, abhor secresy of the fact of the
marriage relation. We trust Mr.. Munday
will stand against the committee and APP
peal to the House to pass this most just
measure. If objection is taken to elimina-
ton from the law of the contract Of mar
riage now permitted, at least it may be
amended so as to require it to be witnessed
and recorded as a prerequisite to validity.

GOVERNOR HUI, of New York, who
took the seat Of President-elect Cleveland
in his recent message advised the Legisla-
ture to consent TO the Will Of the people
for the abolition of contract labor in the
State Prisons. His advice is that the
legislative body shall in no way attempt to
oppose the popular expression. Where
this has been made manifest, as in New
York, at the polls, it is wise to so advise
the Legislature, FOR if the popular will is
in error, to give it full play Is the shortest
route to its correction. Governor Hill,
therefore, objects to any commission for
further inquiry, and urges the Legislature
to act, and introduce such diversity of
industries that the competition of prison
labor may be made to bear upon the great
est number of free laborers and therefore
least heavily.
