OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Unless something is done to i'm
prove the industrial system in our
public schools, it will prove to be a
failure. For The consideration of
the Industrial Committee we desire
to submita few friendly suggestions.
We should have large building in
which all branches of industry
should be carried on. This build
ing should contain sufficient apart
ments to accommodate the carpen-
ter shop, the machine shop, the
sewing department, printing office
and any other branch of industry
that will benefit the pupils wno
attend our public schools.
Again We should have a director
with such assistants as the com
mittee on industrial education
should name. These assistants of
the several branches of industry
should come under the direct
supervision of the director.
Prof. 81. M. Brown, the teacher
of physic in the High School should
be placed at the head of this in
dustrial department. He is highly
educated gentleman, who knows
his business and would undoubted-
ly advance the interest of the in
dustrial department.
We want more material practice
and less theory in the industrial
branch of our schools; there are too
many inexperienced boys teaching
Not only are our industrial
branches in Iced of reformation
but our entire public school system
If the present board of school
trustees fail to meet the demands OF
the people, every member should
resign and give way to persons who
will improve our school system.
There is always too much senti-
meut exercised in the colored
schools, to the detriment of the
pupils. Some of our Sth grade teach
ers should be transferred to schools
they can teach. This of course
would tend to improve the condi-

JUDGE KIMBALL TAX ES
CHARGE.
INTERESTING SCENE IN THE POLICE
COURT.

Judge |, G.. Klmball arrived at
the Police Court Wednesday about
$50 o'clock. Judge Scott was on
hand and took charge of the upper
court, once held by the late Judge
Miller and the court to which he
was nominated by the President.
Judge Kimball left his court and
came directly to the United States
court where he thought he had
right to sit. But Judge Scott in.
formed him politely that it was his
court and that court he would hold.
Judge Kimball said that he and
Judge Miller used to change off
occasionly.
The BEE is positive that the on
ly time Judge Kimball held the
upper court was when Judge Miller
was sick or out of the city. How
ever Judge Scott informed Judge
Kimball that he would consent if
occasion demanded it, to allow him
t. sit in the United States court.
Judge Scott addressed the bar ty
explaining his position, but gave
the bar to understand that he would
hold the upper court to which place
he had been nominated. The bas-
ket of flowers that the bailiffs clerks
and other officers had bought was
presented to him in the lower court.

getting Endorsements from repre-
sentative negro republicans because
he would occasionally give them
complimentary tsrazzle dazzIes" in
the Indianapolis Freeman. The
BEE takes this opportunity of
informing certain colored republi-
cans that the charges against him
are serious aud certainly they
would not embarass themselves by
requesting the Public Printer to
reinstate him, because Mr.. Palmer
will not do such a thing. The only
regret is that Willis Marnard didn't
follow and probably he will.

The action of the Senate upon
the immigration Bill shows that
the subject of immigration is beirs
seriously considered. The great
influx of paupers, criminals idiots,
Nihilist, Socialists and Commun-
lists who have swarmed to this
country during the past few years
makes it imperative to regulate the
conditions of naturalization in
order to insure healthy and legal
people. The educational qualif-
cation is a proper condition and
We are only too sorry it was not
imposed sooner.

BRIBERY IN OHIO.

The enemies and defeated trai-
tors in the Ohio Legislature are
endeavoring to bring charges of
bribery against the managers of the
campaign of Senator M. A. Hanna.
This is another attempt of the dem
agogues to halo fire to enable them
to direct the attention of the peo-
pie to turn their batteries in anoth-
er direction.
The Senator is not at all disturbed
over the matter, but he is allowing
the other fellows to make all the
noise and after they have finished
he will shoot the real thieves.

c. H. !. TAYLOR'S HENCHMAN
DISMISSED.
HIS WIFE PREFERS CHARGES AGAINST
HIM.

Mr.. R. w. Thompson, the colored
Democrat of indianapolis, Ind. who
was brought to this city by c. H. J..
Taylor, the deposed ex-Recorder of
Deeds, was dismissed from the Gov
ernment Printing Office this week on
charges preferred by his wife.
Mrs. Thompson in her letter to the
Public Printer makes very serious
charges against her husband which
the Public Printer would not tolerate.
Mr.. Palmer is a very lenient and
good man but he will not permit peo-
pie to remain in his office against
whom charges are made and sustained
and justlfes their removal for the good
of the public service.
Mr.. Thompson is one of the individ-
uals who justified the removal of COL
ored Republican printers from the
Government Printing Office under the
last Democratic administration

THOMPSON GOES.

The colored democrat, r. w.
Thompson, who was discharged
from the Government Printing Of
fee this week doesn't deserve any
sympathy whatever. When the
democratic party was in power he
had no sympathy whatever for COL
ored republicans, but to the con-
trary he encouraged their dismissal
from the public service and publicly
asserted that colored republicans
should not expect any consideration
from his party, i. e., the democratic
party. Thompson succeeded In

REFORM NEEDED.

There has been considerable CON-
meat. favorable and unfayorable,
upon the article which appeared in
last weeks issue of the BEE, con
ceruing the management OF our
High school. The article was writ
ten in the interest of our school
system merely and not to reflect
upon the efficiency of any lndivld-
ual teacher. We have been under
the opinion for number of years
that our High school was not up to
the standard Of the average approx
ed High school and falls below the
hopes and expectations of those
who are interested in the more ad-
vanced education of our people.
Moreover, results do not Justify the
large expenditure of public funds
which have been appropriated. The
fact is our teachers are as rule too
young to properly serve the impor-
tant interests involved in High
school education.
There is no objection to offering
inducements to our young men and
women who have received an
academic education by giving them
employment in our schools, but
they should be made to serve faith,
fully and acceptably in the other
grades Of the system before they
are permitted to enter our High
school as teachers. 1t is a very bad
policy to allow young men. hardly
out of their teens, to teach young
ladies of equal or greater age. A
side from the absence of proper dis
cipline so far as the school is con-
cerned, it does injury to the young
teacher by placing him In a position
of great responsibility without re
quiring from him those conditions
which experience and peculiar fit
ness only can insure. The years
engaged in the High school consti-
tute an epoch in the life of our
young men and women to permit
them to fritter away their time in
smatterings of sciencr, which can
be of no earthly use in the ordinary
affairs of life. The English Ian
guaee, mathematics, physics, his
tory and literature should consti-
tute the principal sources of the
education of our youth leaving
the sciences to be pursued where
wealth, inclination and leisure are
assured. We do not decry the
sciences. They are useful when
they are properly understood and
applied. But We do depreciate the
waste of time and energy in acquir
ing merely smattering for the
reason that it ofttimes makes fools
where under better treatment solid
men and women would be turned
ont. For those who are experienced
and competent we have no word of
complaint, but for those who do
not belong in our High school We
have but word of advice and that
is to apply for place where they may
be useful.
