ONE OF TIE GARRYToWN GANG 2


Robert BIoome Arrested After Search OF
Two Months.
Robert Bloome, aged "a years, was arrest
ed last evening and lodged in the Fourth
Precinct STATEN house. The police have
been on the watch for him for the past
two months About that time two charges
were preferred against him, one by August
Kennedy, who keeps a bar room and gro-
Gerry store at los Vreeland street, for afro
cious assault and battery, and the other
preferred by Kennebly's barkeeper, who
charges Bloome with having stolen watch
from him. Bloome just came from Tarry-
town, and it is thought not unlikely that
he is one of the gang who recently made
such glaringly bold robberies I'M that sec
ton They say, whether he is or not, he
is bad enough to be one of the gang. Yes
terday evening the Fourth Precinct police
heard that Bloome had been seen during
the day around his old placeof rendezvous,
Widow yreeland's place on Garfield ave
nue.. Accordingly officer Cooper and two
other officers were detailed to make the
capture. They surrounded the house and
at a preconcerted signal burst open the
door and captured thsir man, who sub
mitted quietly to the arrest. Bloome has

THE NEW cURRIcUzUzr.
school Superintendent Edison Makes Some
Explanations.

Explanations.
ga little editorial paragraph in last
Sundays TArTLER declared" said City
School superintendent Edison to one Of
the TArrIERs day or two ago, that the
change in the school curriculum which
have inaugurated put the High School fur
Their out of the reach of the poor than
ever The remark was based on the as
sumption that there is an actual difference
of two years or more between the term of
probation under the old system and that
under the new. The impression is errone-
ous. There is practically no difference in
the length of the preparatory season. The
old system contemplated six years of
schooling in the primary and grammar de.
partments of the common schools before
the High School could be reached. The
new system contemplates eight years and
half There is, am willing to admit, o
difference in the prescribed term of study
of two years and half but it is only APP
parent The term fixed by the old system
was illusory. It crowded the accomplish
meut, into given space of time, of more
than was possible. 1t really took eight
years or more under it to achieve admis-
sion to the High School. The grades were
unfortunately graded, and instances are
known where pupils have been kept for
year and a half at round of studies, the
old system expected to see completed with
in six months. If the system we have just
discarded had been efficient, children
would have reached the High School by
the tlnze Mey were eleven or twelve years
of age. The proof that it was not effect
i've lies in the fact that the average age of
. \ 49,
IA years, None are admitted at an earlier
age. And it is as far from the purpose Of
the new system as it is from it's effect, to
put the high School beyond the reach Of
the poor. am endeayoring to popularize
the High School by eliminating from its
course of studies such as the mass of the
pupils do not desire to follow. If / find
eight or ten only studying in line of spe-
cialties, I tell them to complete that
branch of their education in private
schools, and not at the expense of the pub
lie, and apply the effort that would be
spent on this few to the cultivation of the
many"
The Superintendent talked with admir-
able freeness on all school topics. He said
that he had scarcely taken his position at
she head of the School department of the
,ity before the teachers began to impor-
une him for better system of study. The
old system did not work well, and with the
aid Of their suggestions he had worked out
me new. Then branching off to the SUBJ
Jet Of new school buildings he remarked
hat they are not needed so much as en-
of old school buildings. The
erection of a new school relieves pres
sure in the immediate locality in which it is
put up. The expenditure of an equal sum
Of money in enlarging the old buildings
would relieve the pressure for school room
it is felt 1t is probable that in
bis forthcoming annual report he will have
! number of interesting suggestions to
make on these and many other points.

ABERDEEN ENrERs IRELAND,

UItimatum.

UItimatum.
by Associated Press to The Tattier.l
LONDON, Feb. 2O.-The Earl Of Aber-
deem, the new Lord Lieutenant OF Ireland,
made his state entry into Dublin to-day.
There was no display of flags by the citi-
zens, as usual, on such occasions, and his
Lordship was but little chesred by the
crowds assembled along the route by
which he proceeded to the Castle. The
Irish party will held a meeting at the Can
non Street Hotel, in this city, on st. Pat
rick's Day. MIR. Parnell will preside. The
object of the meeting will be to issue to
England the ultimatum of the Irish people
concerning home rule. As the date Sc
lected for this event precedes by but five
days the 22d of March, the date set by
Mr. Gladstone for the commencement of
the Governments work on Irish legisIa-
ton, it is believed that the Nationalist
leader means to force crisis Oh the home
rule question. Mr.. Parnell has also ar
ranged to have his party hold fifty meet
ings throughout Ireland simultaneously
with the one he will preside over. The
ultimatum viii be also announced at these
