SCHOOL METHODS.

Eulogy is so commonly the lot of our
public school methods that it is quite novel
to meet one who finds fault with them so
openly as a correspondent does in another
column of to-day's issue. The substance of
his complaint is that too much time is
wasted by the schools in exercises and enter
tainments which be considers frivolous and
of no value. The communication is made
curlously imposing by reproducing extracts
from the press of the city showing the fire.
Quent occasions on which school time has
thus been occupied.
There is nothing Incompatible between
the feeling of confidence, even pride, in the
school system itself and intelligent objec-
ticn to any tendencies in its operation which
may detract from its efficiency. We do not
agree with our correspondent in his esti-
lnate of some OF the branches which he
seems TO regard as superhuities, notably
drawing. 1t is easy TO understand how
drawing, capably taught, might become
not only the foundation of useful accom-
plishments for many pupils, but also
awaken mental perceptions whose influence
upon the young mind would be most bene-
fetal. Still it is fair question how far
these lighter exercises can wisely be per-
mitted to trench upon the limited school
time of the average pupil.
We do not agree, either, with our corre-
spondent 10 his seeming antagonism to bet
ter pay for teachers. Considering what tre-
iuendous influence the quality of the teach
ers may exercise upon the habits and char
acter of Young children intrusted to their
care, it is narrow view to measure their
compensation merely by the rule of demand
and supply which gauges pay for strictly
mechanical labor. If anything, what is TO
be regretted about the teachers profession is
that the inducements are usually too small
to secure always the best material. Never
theless, these points aside, there is good
deal in the communication that is worth
reading.

TUE CORRECT VIEW NOW.

The Pennsylvania Ballot Reform Associa-
ton has obtained a legal opinion that the
features OF the ballot reform bill requiring
the covering oil the number on the ballot
and the sealing of the registry lists is in ac-
cordance with the Constitution. This it is
aimed at in ballot reform and at the same
time preserves the object of the Constitu-
tion by providing Identification of the
ballots and detection of fraud upon judicial
investigation. There ore the Philadelphia
Press concludes that the provision over
comes The constitutional ditficulties in the
way of ballot reform while still conforming
to the spirit and letter ofthe Constitution.
This is very true; but it is necessary to be
said that there was no real necessity for
a legal opinion. Any one can see that the
purpose Of the constitutional provision
would be fully served bv keeping the means
of identification secret until there should be
a call for judicial investigation. The DIS
PATCH took that position as long ago as
last fall; but it is pertinent in connection
with the present attitude of the esteemed
Press that at that time its views were radi-
caily different. Under the pressure of the
prevailing campaign lunacy it raised
great fuss because all OF the Democratic
candidates did not wish to pledge themselves
to constitutional convention; and it turned
deaf ear to suggestions that the essential
features of ballot reform could be promptly
secured by the method provided in the pend
bill. 1t is pleasant to observe from the
statement of the same view In the Press that
its opinions on the subject are apt to be cor
rect when it is free from the demand for
campaign ammunition.

Duquesne Theater.

George Tharcher's minstrels opened last
evening at the Duquesne Theater to a very
fair audience. While this class of amusement
has come to be considered as rather old style,
this company has introduced SO many novel
features that it IS highly probable that mlus-
trelsy will secure a fresh and firmer hold upon
the affections of the public. The company in
cludes excellent soloists, clever athletes and
some really funny comedians. The company
does not trust entirely to its efforts on the
stage. but introduces little business in

done and properly mystified the audience
