was the failure of Bamberger & Kaem pier,

John w. Snlelds, sergeant OF pollce-l am
opposed to the present method Of over
crowdiDg the studies in the public schools.
MY boys have TO study by gaslight two or
three hours every night. Children are given
such difficult lessons and in such a variety
that they have to study too hard at home
and their mental faculties are oyertaxed.
Parents have to devote great deal of time
in teaching their children at home. Scholars
should be taught their lessons at school, but
under the present system parents are COM
PEELED to do the teaching at home.
Charles Armiger-Tbe present system In
the public schools is the worst l ever heard
OF in MY life. Too much is expected OF the
children, and their mental capacities are
weakened by the great strain.
p. c. Molloy, the well-known real estate
operator, said: "0ur school system Is the
best in the world, but / think the teachers
are sometimes injudicious in crowdi, too
many subjects on pupils: The scholars
should be taught fewer subjects atone time,
giving their first attention to practical
studies which are OF use daily in business
transactions. When they have mastered
