THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
A Proposition to Reduce the Number
of COlored Normal School Graduates.

At the meeting Of the school board last night
Mr.. Cornish, trustee of the Sth division colored
schools gave a notice of an amendment to the
rules to limit the number Of pupils in the col
ored normal school to twenty-five. MIR. Cor
nish said that the urgent reason for this change
is shown by the fact that these divisions are
now graduating nearly double the number
needed for the public service. Under the old
arrangement in force up to 1887, said Mr. Cor
nish, 1t was found that every graduate could be
given employment in every instance save one.
Under the new arrangement, which increased
the number to forty, there were fifteen gradu-
ates unemployed. OF the class of 1883. from a
total Of forty graduates, only eight had as yet
been employed, and certainly not half the num-
Der could be employed We have no legal
right, he said, to give professional education
at the expense Of the public to persons to be
employed elsewhere.
SUGGESTED CHANGE OF NAME.
letter from the Commissioners was read
notifying the board that they had named the
new school building on 2Sth street, George
town, the Corcoran school building, in honor
OF the late Thomas Corcoran, mayor Of George
town.
Mr.. Mitchell, trustee Of the Georgetown
schools, suggested that the Commissioners ac-
ton should be amended SO as to call the build
ing the Thomas Corcoran" building. The
matter was referred to the committee on build
ings and repairs.
The resignation of Mary Britt as q teacher in
the sixth division was accepted.
THE coLoRED SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS.
Upon DIR. Francis motion the list of teachers
nominated for the seventh and eighth divisions
colored schools was approved. The action had
been deferred pending the decision of the Com
missioners respecting the questions brought
before them as to the appointment Of others
than normal school graduates as teachers.
Prof. Gregory said the committee Of trustees
that conferred with the Commissioners on this
subject would be ready to report in q day or
two.

UNFAIR TO THE PRISONERS.
Judge Mills Refusal to Try Them on
the Day OF Their Arrest Criticised.

The action Of Judge Mills yesterday in refus-
ing to receive prisoners arrested after the meet
ing of the Police Court as published in The
STAR, is severely criticised by memb ers of the
police force generally. In speaking Of the
matter this morning an officer said:
"lts an outrage to lock some Of these poor
fellows up this weather and keep them in cell
for twenty-four hours when their cases could
be tried in fifteen minutes. They are certainly
entitled to speedy trial, and that and moth
Ing else is speedy trial in such triHing cases
as disorderly conduct. Then there is another
side to the question. The persons arrested are
not always guilty and their incarceration when
II could so easily be avoided is an unnecessary
and cruel punishment. The police business Of
the city has outgrown the Police Court and it
Is pretty near time that we had another court
or some other means of relief"

HE WAS TIRED.
Policeman Casey told one of his brother off,
GERS that he was tired of the business, but the

tired OF Casey because Night Inspector Pear
son caught him enjoying rest in the Wallach
school building when he should have been on
duty.

Policeman Bryant went ON duty today in
the eighth precinct in place Of Officer Rentch,
who was dismissed for intoxicaton Police
man Rentch was excellent officer and was
highly esteemed by his superior officers, but
he had one bad fault, and that the frequent use

COLD WATER MEN,
Almost in front of the house of Can't. Austin.
ON 9th street, there is pump of clear, cold
water. The pump is used as much as any
other pump in the city, and the captain has
asked that two dippers be attached to it in or
der to accommodate those who desire a re-
freshing drink of the pure beverage. Captain
Austin was recently confined to his house on
account OF sickness, and during that time the
policemen On that beat paid frequent visits to
the pump. I'VE wanted to show the captain"

WORD TO RECKLESS DRIVERS.
The police of the first precinct complain that
drivers of vehicles are not careful enough in
turning the street car transfer corners at Penn

large and they desire to call the attention of

Several narrow escapes from drowning in the
Monocacy river have been made recently by
persons attempting to ford the stream at points
where the county bridges were swept away by
the flood. The delay in the rebuilding of the
bridges has not only endangered life in this way,
but has damaged the business interests Of the
city by keeping away the country people to a
large extent. In view of this it was today de-
cided that q committee should at once visit the
government officials at Washington to apply
for the use Of several pontoon bridges, to serve
until the bridges now being built across the
Monocacy can be completed. The committee
will go at once and will consist of members Of
