VIEWS OF TIE HEALTH OFFICER.
He Believes That the Disease Did Not
Pass Quarantine.

Pass Quarantine.
QUARANTINE. Sept. 1.-THE grea est ex-
citement prevailed at this station tonight
when it was reported that five cases OF
cholera had been discovered in New York
DR.. jenkins expressed himself as con 6dent
that it had not passed quarantine. He said
the best authorities in the world held that
the most stringent and complete quaran-
tine could only claim to prevent 10 per cent
of the possibilities of the introduction Of
cholera into place, while there was a 80
per cent possibility of cholera invading a
seaport open to other means over which
quarantine had no control.
He said il was quite possible for person
visiting a cholera patient or hospital to
transmit germ from the first 10 the third
party without feeling any of the effects
himself. He saw no reason why cholera
should not be effectually stamped out In
New York. TIE fact that cholera had sue
eeeded in presenting itself in the city
would not the doctor said. interfere with
the restriction now prevailing at quaran-
tine.

gram from DR.. Byron giving the census for

C0MM0H-SENSE TEACHING.

The Manner In Which Pupils Are In
struoted at Miss Bottles school.
Out in the western part of the city, on
the north side of jackson street, near Bu-
chanaD, is neat building, painted in light
eolors, which gives it a cheerful appearance
which Is added to by garden patch in
front and another on the side. In this
building is the European Select School
conducted by Miss Jeanne Bottle, who for
years was teacher in some of the best
schools in Europe, and who devoted several
years TO teaching of German and French in
one Of the largest private schools In this
city. Since she established the school at the
place described, she has, by her methods
adopted for the instruction Of the young,
attracted to her large number of pupils,
many Of them the children Of some of the
most influential citizens, who are anx-
lons that their little ones shall have
the benefit of foreign as well as
English education. Miss Bote and her
corps OF assistants teach children on the
eommon-sense principle OF imparting knowl-
edge without books until such time as they
acquire correct pronunciation and gain in
formation about what they see daily and
come IN contact with, just as a mother
teaches her babe words and impresses on
the infantlle mind the meaning and value
of each. Then the children are given BOOK
lessons, and step by step they are carried
through the primary. intermediate and
higher grades. When that stage has been
reached they are fitted for university, COL
lege or seminary. The English course,
taught by Miss Marlowe. is in a measure
after the lines laid down in the public
schools, while the German taught by Miss
zimmerman. and the French by Nine. Os-
borne and Miss la Pierre are after the most
approved methods which are known to
give the best results. The kindergarten is
In charge OF Miss Bressler, who for eleven
years was pupil and teacher under Nine
Froebel in Berlin, the widow of the founder
OF the kindergarten system. In addition,
the children are given instruction in vocal
music by Miss Renfrow and dancing by

junction with her supervisory work, teaches
