JUSTICE m 4 TANGLE.

Another oddly of Jersey justice has
come to notice. A woman servant mas
been convicted by an Elizabeth court OF
stealing her own money, and the court is
in quandary. 1t does not know pre-
cisely how to punish her for so unusual
an offense.
The woman was employed by Rah-
way man. who was sometimes little
careless. Recently he lost $50. As he
was sure he had left it where the SER
want could get at it, he suspected her OF
the theft and had her arrested. Search
of her rooms was made, and the exact
amount of money the employer had lost
was found between the leaves of pray
er book. With this circumstantial evil
dence the woman was taken to court
and placed upon trial. She testified
that the money found in her prayer
book was her own, and produced wit
nesses who swore that they paid her
such notes as those found. Neverthe-
less the jury found her guilty.
Meanwhile the woman brought a civil
suit against her employer, who hao
seized the money found, for the recov-
cry of her property, and before the
Judge had passed sentence upon her IN
the criminal case the civil court decided
that the money belonged to her and
must be restored. The conflicting
verdicts nonplussed the criminal judge,
and he concluded that the best thing he
could do would be to suspend sentence
until he could discover where he was
sat" 1t is evident thas somebody has
Numbered, and a New Jersey Solomon is
now in need to say what should be done
under the circumstances.

A Better Plan of Teaching,

In a recent number of the B0S-
ton Transcript a correspondent
directs attention to the fact that
school methods and school
curricula are still very poorly
adjusted to the needs of pupils.
The educational system, considered
as a body of teachers organized I'M
der superintendent, trustees, COM
mlssloners, etc., with tax laws, fine
school buildings, books, apparatus,
and the like, has had in the last
half-century magnificent develop
ment. There has been money to
spend, and it has purchased large
equipment. But the large develop
ment OF the machinery of education
under State administration, has
tended very naturally to crystalline
the crude methods of former times
methods suitable enough. perhaps
for adults, according to the ideas Of
those times, but clearly not suited
to all ages and classes of students
for all time. Progress in pedagogy
has accordingly been slow to adapt
ways and means to the VARYING
needs of their different classes.
The correspondent of the Tran-
script shows that the 'higher
branches" taught in the high
schools are not necessarily more
difficult than the subjects taught in
the grammar schools. Parts Of
arithmetic, for example, are harder
than the elements Of algebra or
geometry. Geography, as com
monty taught IN the grammar
schools, is as difficult as the ele-
ments Of botany and physics.
Latin, which was not too much for
the Roman boy Of six, is not inhe-
rently too difficult for young chill
dren-certainlY not more difficult
than English grammar in the
higher grades. "We shall find"
says the writer, "that Latin does
not present embarrassing Difficult
ties, if we do not require of our
grammar-school pupils more tech
nical Latin grammar than Cicero
knew" Of course, teacher may
by his method make Latin a ''dead
language" as he does German,
French and even English, but that
is not the fault of the Latin. The
point, however, to be kept in view
is that some subjects now taught in
The high schools could be taught as

Polish Up the Town.

No one thing will give visitor
or u prospective investor such a
favorable impression Of q town OF
city as the virtue next to godliness
cleanliness. Merchants have
long since learned that it is the
clean store that is most inviting to
the purchaser, and we all appreci-
ate o clean home. The same prin-
ciple applies in regard to public
buildings, sidewalks, lawns, streets
and alleys. Our schools, of course,
should be kept clean, and are as
an example to the young, and to
prevent the Judgment and propaga-
ton Of disease Of any kind the
streets and alleys ought to receive
more careful attention. Too often
the latter especially are made the
receptacle of all kinds of filth that
in warm weather especially offends
the nostrils and spreads infection
broadcast. In such weather as we
are haylng now the nuisance is not
SO apparent, but is equally danger
Gus. Let our streets and alleys be
kept clean and free from rubbish Of
any kind.
This winter there must of neces-
sity be a deal Of mud and slush on
all our sidewalks, but the exceed
ingly unpleasant effects of it may
be to a very large extent overcome
if each householder will exercise q
little care in keeping the walk in
front of his house properly cleaned
up, and instead of a necessary walk
about town being a cause of regret
it will be pleasure to get about
Thereby sociability will be pro
NOTED, and those who come among
us will have cause to be charmed
with our progressive ideas.
AS was said, there is nothing tina
gives more agreeable first impress
sions Of a city or town than thu
cleanliness of its streets, stores ant
public places. 1t may draw to u

ments.
