ONE MORE MILD CRITICISM.

! To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The writer is of the opinion that good
/ system is necessity in our graded public
schools. Rules should be laid down by
the superintendent for the government of
the schools, but they should be flexible.
Laws made to control the little learners
ought not be as unbending as those of the
Modes and Persians. A child should be
taught that it is breaking a rule when it
arrives late at the school house door, as
when in the exuberance of its spirits it
violates a rule in the school room. \
repremand, or some sort of mild punish
ment, ought to be sufficient. Locking the
door against it is unwarranted and severe.
If the child should thus be compelled TO
lose a day. would 10 not disturb the har-
mony of its class more than if IL were late
one, or five, or fifteen minutes The
parent-the tax payer-has some rights
the superintendent and teacher are bound
TO respect. The writer has no desire TO be
harsh or 10 critlcise severely. yet there are
other things that he would like TO speak
of in this connection. As he understands
il, but twenty-five minutes, during school
hours, are given TO arithmetic for study
and recitation. As a consequence the
child is instructed by MS teacher TO carry
that book home. The lesson viii often
have as many as eleven examples. under
the most difficult rules for a child TO
comprehend IL has frequently taken
the writers child until IL o'clock at night
to solve and copy these problems. The
copy is taken TO his school and the teacher
grades him on that COPY, or it is turned
over 10 some pupil 10 do it. II the solu-
tions are wrong no explanation Is given.
Ask your child why this is true and il
will tell you the teacher has no time"
The expression is stereotyped, but the
child is left in darkness. Who l. the
child's teacher, Who is paid to do the
teachings To assist a child occasionally
is pleasure to a parent fthe writer has
no desire to throw the entire burden on
the teachers shoulders but 10 do the
dancing and pay the fiddler besides. the
W ritter mildly protests. When the teacher
thinks her time likely. 10 be limited for
the day in drawing, gymnastics, music
and other studies of our graded schools.
she tucks a few more essential studies.
like arithmetic, under the child's arm aud
IL goes home to wreStle with knOtty Solu-
tions of difficult problems until long after
il should be asleep The childs puts in
about eleven hours a day in study under
this arrangement \ strong man cant
stand but ten hours day after day. Can
the child endure the strain, l. il not a
system Of ''stufings' Is not the old log
school house and the older puplic schoo.
.ne best after alls The writer is satisfied
that many of the rules and much Of the
present system Is wrong &C"

HE TOOK WATER.

Chief of Police Burrows took in the
"Corsair'' last Monday evening, and the
next morning at the breakfast table he
was describing the wonderful rainbow
effect of one of the fountains in one of the
scenes. He grew quite eloquent and
eulogized on the beauties of the water.
When he paused for breath Mrs. Burrows
calmly remarked: "There must be some
thing wrong with you whe n you get stuck
on water"
The chief finished his breakfast amid a
silence that could be heard.

Mr.. Thos. Richardson returned from
Denver yesterday and proceeded south
ward towards Galveston last evening. The
western congress spoken of yesterday in a
Denver dispatch as having been arranged
for at Galveston was somewhat mislead-
ing. The gathering called for Galveston
on the occasion of the Mardi-Gras on the
9Th of February. is but preliminary or
ganization. The real convention which is
to follow later. it is proposed, will be held
somewhere near the center of the terri
tory proposed to he represented, and Wich
tia was favorably discussed at the Denver
conference. In the call Texas, Arizona,
New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Utah and Montana were named'
The purpose is to formalize the work of
securing national legislation demanded by
the best interests of the middle or so called
western states. We know little of the
matter more than was limited at in our
yesterday mornings dispatch. Wichita
and Denver will both stand good shows of
getting the convention.

An autopsy was held late Wednesday
night on the remains of Joe Dobson by
Drs. chatter ANA Owens. There were
present besides the two operators, Drs
Martin, St John, and the Drs Whitlock.
The autopsy was for the purpose of deter
mining the extent and direction of the
wound made in the side of the dead man
by the knife with which he was stabbed.
1t was ascertained that the knife entered
between the seventh and eighth ribs and
ranged downward. The diaphragm was
penetrated by the knife, the spleen cut
into and small incision made in the
stomach. The point of the knife had
reached and made "A small wound in the
lower part of the left lobe of the liver. The
contents of the stomach were disc harged
through the opening and there was no
chance for the wounded man to recover.
The county authorities gave the body

quest and a collection was taken up among
the colored people with which TO defray

POLES.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
| see that there is to be other lines of
poles put up in the city, and wish to make
a suggestion to the city council, and also
to the corporations putting up the poles.
Where poles are put on the street, instead
of the alley, on streets running east and
west the poles should be put on the south
side of the street, then if the trees have to
be trimmed to clear the wires it does not
let the sun in on those that happen to live
on the line. On the streets running north
and south the poles should be on the west
side of the street. The people will object
but little to having the morning sun, but
they will not want the trees trimmed out
so as to let the afternoon sun in on them.
The writer lives on a street where the poles
are on the wrong side, hence this sugges-
ton. II. Il.
