The Central Presbyterian church con,
tanned large audience last evening to
hear the lecture by Prof. DeGarmo. of
Bloomington. On Life in the German
Universities. 1t was thoroughly in
teresting practical talk, based on careful
personal observation. study and thought
The various modes of practice employed
in Germany's educational institutions
were traced, the speaker after reviewing
the primary OF common school branches,
stating that there were four classes in the
German MISUNDERSTANDING. law, nedi-
cine and philosophy. There were no
universities under private or religious
endowment, all being sustained by the
state governments, but none by the gen.
eral government. Three classes of teach.
ers were emploved-the highest the full
professOrship, the next the half profess
orsaip, and the third the private teacher.
He spoke of the importance of the gym
nssium as preparatory to the university
course, the struggles the aspirant for the
rank of professor was obliged to under
go. etc. The professor now occupies a
place next to the highest social posit ion,
being second only to the military.
Why is it the speaker asked,
that every student in America
thinks he must understand the Ger
man, and he answered by calling at
tention to the fact that there are 1000
teac hers in Germany whose duty is to fl nd
out new language and impart it to
those who are willing to learn. Their
business is to advance learning. This is
what gives the German system of learn
ing an advantage over ours in this coun-
try, where professors are begrudged the
small salary they get and where they have
no opportunity for advanced ideas. The
speaker thought he could see the coming
of the time nevertheless when American
colleges and universities would learn the
value of .seizing opportunities and ap-
preciate the fact that American profes.
sors must have NOR time and opportun-
tiles

This waist is designed to meet the
requirements of ladies who cannot,
comfortably, wear stiff and rigid cor
set, while it can be worn with as much
comfort as an ordinary dress-waist. it
will give the same elegance of contour
as the heaviest boned corset in the
market, while the stays are so arranged
that they give support to the back and
spine, and in nowise interfere with the
freedom and comfort of the wearer.
Our price for this comfortable and
healthful waist is $l.0O. You will no
doubt find it fully as satisfactory as
waists for which you have paid $1.75.

The Rock Island city council last
evening made few more moves which
clearly demonstrates earnestness OF pur-
pose in reference to the abandonment Of
the volunteer system of fire protection
| which the city outgrew years ago. and the
substitution of paid and reliable service
responsible for its actions. The CONTRACT
for the erection of the new engine and
hose house on Flatiron square which is to
contain the first paid company. was
let to Ritchey s. DeGear. whose bid
| was the lowest at 5.S37. but
that firm this morning advised the mayor
that IN figuring on the specifications the
| roof had been omitted and that the WORK
could not be tdvantageously done at
those figures. Consequently the fire and
light committee will be called upon by
the mayor to act upon the matter as II
now stands. Some steps. however, Will

aldermen do. the peril in which the city
IS placed by further delay.
The council also sold the Holly hose
house property on the corner of Twelfth
street and Sixth avenue to Mr.. Hugh
Ralston for 1865. and the Rescue piop-
erty on Nineteenth street to Mr.. H. c.
Boggess for $3.50. and also ordered the
ale of abandoned hand carts aud other
psraphernslia of the bygone volunteer
system. The proceeds of these sales will
be turned into the fund for the establish,
ment and equipment of the paid depart
ment.
OTHER MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
The city further acted fsvorably on q re,
solution looking to timely action as to a
system of lighting the city when the
present contract for the towers expires.
and also adopted an excellent resolution
presented by Aid. Evans directing the
marshal and police to report all defective
sidewalks.
There were rome interesting resolu-
tons presented also with reference to the
eight hour system in the waterworks by
Aid. Evans and Kennedy, but no action
was taken.
