ryGIIsH IN THE SCHOOLS.

The report OF the special committee OF the
poord NJ Education on the course of study in
the public schools makes numerous interesting
suggestions which are entitled to the most
careful and dsinterested consideration. With
MANY of the recommendations contained IN this
and a previous report by the same committee
THE TRIBUNE Is in hearty accord, and we de-
sire to express again our sense OF the hdelity,
unselfishness and sincerity with which the
gentlemen and ladies who have devoted them
selves TO this work during the last year have
PROSECUTED their task.
Further discussion and experiment Will con-
firm or qualify the conclusions of the commit
tee on various subjects upon which there Is no
need Of expressing hasty opinion, but we see
no danger In giving immediate approval 70 the
recommendation that the study OF french anu
German be discontinued. We are not in pos
session OF all the special evidence which was
found to support this suggestion but we shouid
saw that ordinary observation and reflection
would be sufficient TO convince most persons
that time devoted to modern languages in the
public schools must be practically wasted. In
sttuction in French and German cannot, in the
nature of things, he Of the highest quality ana
the circumstances under which It Is impaired
are altogether adverse A small vocabulary OF
foreign words, which the pupil mispronounces
and from which he has only the faintest idea OF
constructing sentences, is about all that he has
TO show In return for the time, labor and ex-
pense of maintaining this ornamental sideshow.
There Is language, however, upon which
money and effort can be expended with the
certainty Of a great reward-a language moro
copious, vigorous and expressive than either
French or German, the language OF the coun-
Try and the future language Of the world II
the time hitherto devoted TO the work OF ms
appropriating foreign tongues should be en-
ployed in acquiring firm hold upon our noble
English the result would be Of the highest and
most permanent value.

YEIIOH LICK SIG NILS.

The conduct Of the Brooklyn physician who
concealed a case strongly resembling yellow
fever deserves severe ccusuie. His patient
was the surgeon Of the steamer which arrived
from ASpinwall week ago lie attended the
sick man for four days before deciding that
the symptoms pointed to yellow fever aud even
when warned by a New York Health official
and by one Of the Quarantine experts Of the
probable nature Of the disease he waited TWEEN
ty-four hours before informing the Brooklyn
Health Department Of the facts VI the case
Meanwhile, for five days he had been going
from the sick mans bedside to visit other pa
tients, and in this way had exposed many per-
sons to the dangers Of contagion. The attend
ing physician was guilty of criminal careless
ness in neglecting to report the case " the
local experts a. soon az it was brought to his
notice. Ills prosecution for violation Of the
health ordinances will be a warning TO the pro-
fession that suspicious cases Of sickness origi-
mating in plague-centres Of the West Indies and
Central America are not proper subject for
individual diagnosis. Those who are the re-
sponsible guardians Of the health Of the town
should have the exclusive right OF discriminate
| ing between a comparatively innocnOus form
Of Chagres fever and a malignant type OF yell
| low fever.
While the Brooklyn physicians course was
| inexcusable, 1t Is probable that the dangers
of infection from this case were overestimated
| by the Health officials. Unnecessary alarm
| was caused in the neighborhood of the house
| by the rigid quarantine established, not one OF
| the inmates being allowed to leave the prem
| ises, and patrolmen in the streets in front and
| in rear warning people against approaching OF
pa ssing the door. The surgeon Of the steamer
was not very sick man, since his removal to
the Quarantine Hospital was practicable twelve
hours after the case had been reported, and
since q rapid convalescence was confidently
predicted. There seems to have been no ueces-
sity for rigorous action by which residents Of
popuIous district of the town were frightened
out Of their senses. 1t is possible that the ex-
treme business shown by the Health officials in
this case was the result OF pique. A Newly ork
expert and Quarantine official had been con
suited In advance Of the local authorities, and
they had not thought 1t worth while to refea

DiSs abstraction about Pensions.

The Star simply because it predicted last
wear the results of the pension Law, does
not allude to the law for the reason ut told
you So but because We wish to show how
imuossible it is to make q law designed rs
this is and get the proper result. In this
county the law has been abused shanefnlly,
and as We said last week there are pension
erS who are making at least ten bales OF
cotton o year, and live in athuent circu!n-
stances compared with some poor widows
who because they were unable to produce
the witnesses necessary on their apphca-
tons, have to 90 without the small pittance
Of So month. The board Of examiners
who passed upon these applications has no
discretion in the matter at al. II the ap-
plication is proper in all Of its forms they
are compelled to pass it, believing different
" at the same time, and these criticisms are
in no wise directed at them. It Is the law
itself that we are attacking. Mr.. H. Wash.
Brown is a one legged Confederate soldier,
who came out Of the war with nothing put
who bv industry, careful management and
economy has made living and put himself
in fair circumstances. he saw ~Nen the
law was passed that be was excluded from
its provisions If be kept his honor. But
last week, after reading the list OF pension
e.s, lie came to town and inquired if tie law
fad been changed as he saw the names OF
men on the list who he believed We're IN
fully as good circumstances as himself and
he thought il they could draw Pensions he
could also. But when told that there had
been no change and shown the blank forms
he unhesitatingly said that be could not
make the application. 1t is government
money and some Of the pensioners may
smother their conscience with that thought,
and that no individual suffers directly by it..

Florence Will Use Cotton Bagging.

The largest meeting Of farmers ever held
in Florence county Was that of Monday last,
when the delegates assem- bled to convene in
special meeting of the Florence County
Farmers Alliance. The delegates came from
the furthermost limits of the county, and
were representative and determined men,
who did their work in SO decided manner
that the octopus jute monopoly will be
crushed here.
By special resolution. the following was
authorized to be published in the county
organ, the Florence Times:
Pesolced That the County Alliance oi
Florence county pledge itself to use cotton
basging exclusively, provided enough can bt
secured, and to use SO much as the State
Executive Committee can furnish.
Resored, That the sub-allianceS be re
ouested to have all members give to tht
trade agent the amount of cotton bagG!ne
they will pledge themselves to use, and that
the trade agent make arrangements with
the merchants with whom the alliance Is
doing business to order the amount pledged
OF in any other way they can best do so
And the trade agents Of sut-alliances report
to county trade agent within ten days.
There is nothing vague or uncertain about
these expressions. and they show that the
farmers of Florence county will not longer
allow themselves to be under the ban OF q
monopoly that would squeeze the last cent
from them. The Times hopes they will win,
ani VII help them to 3oit Florence I;,oeS

Summerton to Sumter.

President Barkeley, OF the Eutawville Rail,
road, concluded contract with slr. Z. S.
Plingle last Thursday for the grading Of the
proposed route from Summerton to Sumter.
The distance to be graded is twenty-one
miles. The work is to be pushed on Of
once, and judging from the rapidity and
dispatch with which Mr.. Pringle has finish
ed other parts of the line it will not be long
before fine road bed has been laid between
the points mentioned. The Eutawville Rail.
road ranks high among the shorter lines OF
the State, both for the excellence of its bed,
its stock and general equipment There are
already several ways of getting to the beau,
tiful city Of Sumter, but there connot be toe
many avenues of approach to such o charm,

being to have the extension ready for bust
