Public School Matter.

The annual report of the State De-
partment of Education is quite lengthy
Mr.. Baker favors a uniform district
system, and would abandon the alb
surd attempt to conduct the district
system in one-half the counties and
the community system in the Others.
He claims that the Improvement in
teachers is largely attributable to the
new law which encourages profession
al teachers. He favors local supervis.
ion, and holds that it will not increase
the expenses. County officers with ex-
officio school duties, he contends, take
no interest and are mere machines for
distributing the school funds. He
thinks owing to their laxity frauds arc
committed, or at least discrepancies
exist and injustice is practiced.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1886-12-11

The city marshal recommended, in
his late communication to the city
council, the real necessity Of place to
work the city prisoners. Not only is
this idea endorsed by city officials, but
the justices of the peace favor 1t. In
fact, the justices, the mayor and the
marshal are at loss to know how to
punish many offenders OF the law
Most of such are only too glad to get
housed in the calaboose and get bread
and water rations. The attention OF
the city council is called TO this i'm
portant matter, and it should be acted
upon without delay. The city then
would get something out Of those
worthless fellows, for it is that class
who 90 there as rule. AS it is, the
city is boarding and lodging them
free of cost. In fact, it is a premium
for petty crime. Don't you see it :?

The Opera.

Last night there was a large audi
ence at the opera house to witness the
opera, princess of Trebizonde," and
this audience, critical as it was, found
no fault with the opera, as most Of the
Objectionable features have been taken
from it. Miss Adelaide Randall is sus-
tanning her reputstion, and in fact
adding to its brilliancy.
