A DASTARDLY CRIME.
Three Men Charged with CriminalIy As
saultimg Mary PIatt.

One Of the most dastardly crimes ever
committed in this vicinity is that charged
against Phillip Bedard, Charles Blow and
Frank A. wilkins who We're arrested by
Chief Dumas and Officer Brunette Monday
for assaulting Nelson Gonyeon and Mary
Platt. 1t was supposed until Tuesday that
it was a simple case Of assault but when the
girl came to tell her story it was found to
have a far more serious aspect. According
to her statement the three rutllans attacked
Gonyeon and herself near the entrance to
Athletic Park Sunday evening Two of
the party devoted their attention to Con
ycon while the third caught hold of her
and dragged her inside of the enclosure
Gonyeon was struck upon the head with n
piece Of planking which was used for the
purpose of bracins the gate and as soon as
he saw that he could render his companion
no assistance he ran toward the brick yard
for help As soon as he had disappeared
the girl who is only j. years of age claims
that she was held and criminally assaulted
by the prisoners, and before Gonyeon re
turned they had made their escape. She
gave no intimaton of what had occurred
until she was placed upon the witness stand
in the City Court yesterday and the pris-
oners who had been confined in Jail during
the previous night were at once taken into
court and arraigned on the charge Of rape
on complaint of States Attorney Foster to
which they pleaded not guilty.

GRAMMER SCHOOL.

On entering the grammar schools, our
pupils continue the studies of the lower
grade, but with text books Of a higher
grade. The work broadens and deepens,
and tho pupils are thrown upon their own
resources and responsibilities to a greater
extent than hitherto. United States history
is taught throughout the second year. In
pursuing this subject, the pupils are encour
aged, ana sometimes required to do cola
teral reading and to prepare written
sketches of notable persons and events The
required common school branches of study
are substantially completed in the grammar
school, and in addition TO these. book
keeping and zoology are taught in the high
est class of this grade. The plan Of intro
ducing complete works or lengthy selec-
tons from standard authors for reading
matter is continued. The following are
among the selections made for this purpose,
viz; Higginson's United States History,
Montgomery's Leading Facts in English
History, Tom Brown at Rugby, Lambs
Tales from Shakespeare, Rab and His
Friends The Man Without a Country, and
many selections from Irving, Hathorne,
Anderson, Tennyson Longfellow, Lowell,
Homes and Whittier. Rhetorical work is
begun in this grade ald music, writing
and free hand drawing are continued.

The High school curriculum includes
those branches of study which are usually
found in the best schools of this
grade. 1t provides for three courses
Of study. viz: English, Latin Eng
fish and classical. Latin, Greek and French
are taught, but all are optional. and pupil
may take one or more of them or none Of
them. This school serves as an excellent
preparatory school for those who wish to
pursue college courses and furnishes super
ior advantages to the greater number whose
school days end with the high school. The
study of civil government and OF the constitu-
ton and laws of this State is made prominent.
Character culture is also made Il distin-
gushing feature of this school The end of
public instruction, viz: good citizenship,
is kept constantly in view, and right con
duct expressing good character is treated as
the most important matter claiming the At
tention of the pupils.

Superintendent H. o. Wheeler presents
the following report Of the Burlington
schools.
Hon. Edwin T. PALMER, Superintendent
of education:
In compliance with your request. have
the honor to present the report on the con
diton and work of the public schools of
Burlington.
The present course Of study prescribed for
our schools provides for l3 years of CONT
nuous school attendance, divided as to
grades as follows, viz: Primary schools,
three years Intermediate schools three
years; Grammar, three years; High
school, four years.
The school year for primary and inter
mediate grades consists Of 36 weeks; fer
grammar and high schools 80 weeks.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
The primary schools carry the pupils
through the third reader and first lessons in
arithmetic, introduce writing with pencil
and pen, and by place lessons prepare the
way for geography. In arithmetic or num-
bers, Grube's method, with some variations
in details is followed, and in reading, a
combination method, consisting chiefly of
the word and sentence methods, is employ
ed. In all work, oral and written, empha-
sis Is laid upon proper expression, and so
practical grammar is anticipated from the
first. Special attention is given in this
grade to the cultivation Of the observing
faculties by means OF object lessons. No-
cal music, free hand drawing and calls
themes are introduced and systematically
taught. A large part of the instruction in
this grade is oral.

A Walk Around Europe.

Two enthusiastic pedestrians, both Lon
doners, accordinSto The Pail Mall Budget,
recently completed the remarkable per
formarce OF iourneying around Europe on
foot-a task upon which they were engaged
close upon twelve months. They left Lon
don, journeying on foot to Dover, where
they crossed the channel TO Calais. This,
with the exception Of crossing the Baltic,
was the only occasion on which they per
formed any portion of their journey other
wise than on foot. They did not touch
Paris, but proceeded from Calais to Able
vile and Dieppe, and then on, skirting the
coast line as far as BTest, Nantes and Bor-
GeauX.
Hence they proceeded through the prov,
inces Of the Lower Charente across the
Pyrenees into Spain, going into Portugal
as far south as Lisbon and Opcrto, and
then right across country to Madrid and
Barcelona. Stirling The Mediterranean,
they reached Trieste and Venice, and then
getting into Austria they went on to
Cracow, and across Russian Poland to
Moscow and ST. Petersburg From the
Russian capital they went to Riga, where
they crossed the Baltic to Norway and
Sweden, returning through Ge rmany and
Holland to Belgium, and then on to Ostend
and across the channel again to Dover,
reaching London none the worse for their
exceptionally long walk.
