rought Up in Municipal Court Yester
day.

On Thursday afternoon Officer Hanson
arrested on complaint of Patrick Murphy,
Mrs. Margaret P. Flaherty. Murphy
claimed that the woman had come into
his house drunk and had created dis
turbance. Yesterday morning the woman
was placed before the municipal court.
She had retained John B. Kehoe and en-
tered plea of not guilty. Mr.. Kehoe
questioned the witnesses and then briefly
argued that no case had been proved
against his client. The court was of the
same opinion and discharged Mrs. Flaher-
ty.
One other prisoner was also in court,
Peter Murphy, against whom Officer john
son appeared and testified that he had
caught Murphy begging at house on
Becketu street Thursday afternoon. The
officer also stated that this fellow had for
several days been lettering about the
Grand Trunk railroad yards. Murphy
set up the claim that he had not been beg.
eing, that he had simply gone to the
house and asked for drink of water.
The court continued the case to this
morning and ordersd Murphy to furnish
bail in the sum of 800 for his appearance
at that time. This the man was unable
to do and he was committed.

LET ALL HELP THE GOOD WORK ALONG.
Education is matter of research, even
for the very young. more than the mem
orIZing of q few textbooks. Modern
methods of instr action make the text
book serve the purpose OF introducing .
subject while books of reference are con-
tinually in demand for the personal re-
search necessary on the part Of every
pupil. To secure such research, it is
necessary that every school be fully
equipped with the proper books of refer
ence in order that teachers and pupils
have at their disposal, at any moment,
such books as are necessary for immedi-
ate use. Such books of reference are
seldom found in small libraries and, if
they were, they would be of little use
unless the library were in the school
building and open constantly. Such 8
list of books is not in-the Newtown Acad-
emv, but should be there very seon.
The standards of every primary school,
of every grammar school, of every High
school, of every Academy, and of the
college and Scientific school have ad-
vanced considerably, so that to graduate
from course of one of our High schools
to-day is to have a better education than
was given in most colleges two genera
tions ago.
The standards of Newtown Academy
have also advanced. 1t has a regular
Grammar School Grade course of study
and, in the Academic department, its
courses enable one to be fully prepared
for college or Scientific school.
While it has many bright young minds
to train, yet other instruments than the
teachers are needed to mould the minds,
such as books of reference in history,
literature. fiction, poetry, science, chem
istry, physics, etc.
In order to form such library, which
is needed within month, it is not feasi-
BILE that an entertainment be given to
raiF e fund.-, but it is desired that every
person who has ever attended the New
town Academy or felt it's educational in

and education OF our boys and girls take

the amount it will receive proper
