NO HOPE FOR THE MURDERER.

Chancellor McGill this morning was asked
to save q murderer from the scaffold. Coun-
sellor Thos. J.. O'Brien moved that a writ of
error issue in the case of August Bergen
mann, who was convicted Of numbering his
brother julius at Sterling, M. He is to be
hanged in Morrist own on Thursday next.
The ground for the issue Of the writ, coun-
sci urged, was Judge Jonathan Dixon's
charge to the jury. In that charge, counsel
said, the judge repeatedly alluded to the
killing as a ssmurder, y and this application
of the word influenced their finding, that
Julius B~ergenmann was murdered and
August, his brother, was the murderer.
Chancellor McGill could not recognize
such nice distinctions Of etymology and up
held the judges charge and denied the mo-
ton.
Mr.. O'Brien left the court with the inten-
ton, 1t was said, of applying to a United
States Circuit Court Judge to interfere.

priations for school purposes, consistent with
the condition Of the city's finances. ! am,
however; opposed to extravaganza. unneces-
sary outlays, and lavish and inconsiderate
generosity in disposing of the public funds.
The affairs Of this city do not warrant
this board in ndulging In the addition Of

established, If well maintained, embrace
everything chat o reasonable public expect
or desire.
SUMMARY.
The result of our years work may be
summarized as follows:-u.) We have inn
proved the efficiency of the schools by sim
plifying the method Of promotion and the
revising of the course of study. t2l We
have discontinued q department which the
board, after experiment, decided to be IN
necessary. l refer to the cooking school.
(31 The Evening Schools were made more
efficient by the adoption Of a practical course
of study and by the application to them of
wise rules, and their scope was extended by
the establishment Of q Central School. Not
withstanding these improvements they were
maintained at O minimum cost. al We
have opened one new building In the Fourth
district which will accommodate I,040 pupils.
Isl We have been instrumental in the selec-
tioa of an admirable site in the Woodlawn
section and In the erection of a first class
scnoolhouss, superior in every respect to any
Ill this part of the State, one that will serve
as a model for the designs OF future

DIFFUsE AND SHALLOW CULTURE

The necessity of knowing a little about a
great many things is the most grievous bur-
den of our duty. 1t deprives us of leisure on
the one hand and Of scholarship on the
other. The notion is gradually gaining
ground that common school education is as
good as college education; that extension
lectures and summer classes are acceptable
substitutes for continuous study and mental
discipline; that reading translations Of the
classics is better, because easier, than read
ing the classics themselves, and that attend
ing a congress- of specialists gives us, in
some mysterious fashion, a very respectable
knowledge Of their specialties. 1t is after
this manner that we enjoy, in all its varied
aspects, that energetic idleness which Mr..
Bagehot recommends as a deliberate seda-
tive to our restless self-esteem. As DR..
Johnsond iscontentedly observed of the edu-
cation of the Scotch. this is like bread in a
besieged town. EVERY man gets a little,
but no man gets q full meal.'-Aprsl
