The Teachers, Association, which met
in the chapel of the P. NJ. l., was we'll
attended and real interesting. The sub
jects discussed were such as should be
we'll understood by the teachers and pa
rents. ''The relation Of parents to the
schools" and ''the extent Of the teachers
authority" These subjects, if properly
understood in the light of sound reason,
would make fewer misunderstanding in
the school, and secure better relations
between the teachers and patrons. 1t
WAS the unanimous opinion that there
should be a genuine sympathy and hearty
cooperation between the teacher and
the patrons. That they should under
stand each other thoroughly, aud that
the parents should visit the schools
oftener. There was no difference of
opinion about the teachers authority.
All agreed that he should have the
entire control and management of his
school and that his authority should be
supreme. If the parent cannottrust the
teacher, be should not send his children
to school to him. The teacher is in loco
parents, and he should suffer no one to
interfere in the management of his
school. OF Otcourse, be should be practica-
BILE and use common aense in the exercise
of his authority. (Which is the more
potent factor in the management of
children, love or fear?" This WAS discuss
ed pretty freely, and with some degree of
interest. Love vas declared to be the
more potent, but it vas understood that
coupled with this love was fear of
offending the one loved, and consequent
Iy it was said that love and fear in this
sense should be combined. Not fear of
corporal punishment, but fear of forfeit
ing the love and respect of the teacher,
and fear of incurring the teachers dis.
pleasure. These questions should inter

years has not obliterated our sympathies
for those humble patriots, who, foremost
fighting, fell, and were hurried into their
shallow graves and quickly covered and
left alone, as the order to march came to
their surviving comrades. No wife, no
mother, no child, no sister, no tears, no
flowers, not even a board with rude letters

chest. A few minutes afterwards he felt
a sharp pain shoot through his lungs
He dropped the bundle. tore open his
shirt and detected little blood just be-
low his heart. He went TO the Chambers
street station house in New York and
was advised to go to the hospital. He
came to Jersey City instead. but the
pain became SO acute that he hurried TO
the City Hospital. DIR. Holden made an
incision In the flesh and was surprised to
detect the head of needle, When ex-
tracted it was found to be two and half
inches long. The point had penetrated
the lower part of the left lung about one
inch from the heart.

CITY HALL SITE.
Another Conference of Commission
ers and Owners.

The City Hall Commissioners held an
other long secret conclave this morning
at the City Hall to continue the private
Interviews with individual owners of
property on the recently selected City
Hall site.
Precisely what occurred behind the
closed doors Is not definitely known.
Inc Commissioners are reticent as to
figures offered. and the property own
ers themselves appear unwilling to
tives, and even where they do it is in a
certain degree unsafe to take their YER
sion Of affairs. There is no
doubt Chat some OF the indi-
yidual holders OF property have
been offered less thah what they actually
paid for their properties, including re-
pairs and improvements. at least one such
case is known TO the writer. But generally
speaking. and naturally there is an effort
on the part Of the owners to stick even to
prices they scarcely expect to be paid.
Up to the beginning of this mornings
conference the commissioners had already
the option Of purchase Of the
sIsss'r ssrsss' G properly Morris. On A'tSs5 sso
three-story brick buildings, and the
Growney property in Henderson street.
The Commissioners say they anticl-
pate acquiring at least three-fourths
of the property desired without
condemnation. Yet it Is evident from the
remarks let drop from the majority of
holders of the various properties they
were but little better satisfied after
this mornings conference than they were
last week. The Commissioners are conf
dent they will acquire the plot without
going at least more than few thousand
dollars beyond the SIZE, 900 allo wed.
The efforts of the EUcntng Journal to
create suspicion in the minds Of the prop
erty owners and taxpayers in general con-
corning these secret conferences is looked
upon by the Commissioners with sur
prise.
1T may be possible" they urge. eve
will have to 60 into court IN order to se-
cure properties for which an unfair
price f. asked. By these private
conferences not only will we be
able to show the Court the prices
we paid for similar properties and thus
establish a clear case in our favor; but we
prevent a combination TO force up prices
by offering and bargaining in secret"
The Commissioners, too, are men ac-
quainted with the values of properties.
As TO the surreptitious intimations that
the Commissioners are holding these
conferences with view to
showing favoritism in the prices
to be paid for prop critics the Commission
ers say they dare not do such thing, as
the records are all 10 be made public and
they promise the official figures will be
given to the public next Thursday.
