THE EVIDENCE :
AGAINST quay

Philadelphia, April 12.-Mr. Quay and
his son Richard reached the court room
ten minutes before opening of court this
morning. AT 10 o'clock Judge Biddle
took his seat and Attorney Rothermel
began his reply to Mr.. Watson, urging
the admission of the books of the bank.
His first point was that all manner OF
criminal charges are established and
proven by circumstantial evidence. He
bore strongly on the continued payment
of interest on the cOmmonWealth'S de-
posits in the Peoples bank to Senator
Quay. He offered to prove by letters and
kilograms that Quay was borrowing
money from the bank for the purchase
of stock and paid no interest on the
money. The continued loaning of money,
Rothermel contended, was in the further
ance of a conspiracy between Cashier
Hopkins, State Treasurer Haywood and
QUAY, He proposed to show by the fa-
NOUS Red Book" that Hopkins COM
puted interest on deposits not used by
Quay; that the interest was divided in
three parts, going to the credit of Hay
wood, Quay and c. II. Mckee of Pitts
burg.
I Judge Bidlle decided the books of the
bark are admissible as evidence. He
stated he was not satisfied, however that
the Red Book was proper testimony
against the senator since 1T was not
found among the regular bank books.
Ii has not yet been offered in evidence,
and te question of it's admissIblity will
be decided when it is presented.

A Seaman Mutilated

San Francisco, April 12.-The Examiner
has a special from Apia dated April via
Auckland, April y, stating that Hunt a
seaman of the Porpoise, was stunned by
a club welded by a Mataafan and had
one of his ears cut off. A shell from the
Royalist scattered the Samoans, per-
mitting the rescue of Hunt. Quantities
of blood showed that the slaughter of
Mataafans must have been great. The
rebels carried away most of their dead
and wounded and made their fight mostly
from the tops of palms.

 Thus far l have dealt with the matter from the standpoint of jus- tice to the child. There is another side. The average daily attendance in your schools is about 300 more than 1t was at this time three years ago We have one additional teach CT, and two cadets, having dlspens- ed with the services of one teacher and one cadet since the schools opened. Ii we are to return to the whole day session and do any sort ot justice to the children, I can not see how 1t can be done without the employment of at least eight ad- dltlonal teachers which will add. at the lowest estimate, more than $3,000 to the annual cost of your schools
 You we'll know that the Board has been forced to use rigid economy in order to provide suitable buildings and equipments and to meet the steadily increasing demands of the schools, and do not see how this additional expense is to be met un less the length of the annual session be reduced, a thing that would be dlstressingly hurtful to the schools.

No child should be sent to school simply for the purpose of getting him out of the way 1t home.

AN OPEN LETTER
By Prof J. H. Hinemon Relative to
 School Hours in Primary Grades.
 OFFICE


 SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
 FINE BLUFF, ARK, Jan. I4. 1899 Hon. $. NJ. Taylor, President Pine
 Bluff School Board:
 My Dear Sir:-Iu reply to your question as to the advisab bility and feasibility of resHtning the full day session .or the first and second grades of the public schools, permit me to say The conditions which rendered the adoption of this plan necessary three years ago are in great measure unchanged. The ay- erage age of children in these grades is about seven years, and three hours of daily mental drill is as much as their tender constitutions and un- disciplined powers will we'll endure. Pupils of this age cannot study, heace they learn only while heinz taught, and three hours day oi steady mental toll is as much as should be required of them. At present, the pupils of these grades are divided into two sections, differing in advancement by one-half a years work.
 There are two such sections in a room; one recites while the other is engaged in some form of busy work, under the direction of the teacher. No period is allowed to exceed twen- ty minutes and the sections alter nate throughout the half day they are in school. At present, teachers of the first and second grades are teaching an average of so pupils each, forty in the forenoon and the same number in the afternoon, and the children are making excellent progress, as fair and careful exam ination of their work will show.
 These pupils receive the same at tention and instruction in three hours that they did under the old plan in six, and the work is far more satisfactory because the time and energy of the teacher are devoted to instructing instead of a fruitless effort to maintain a reasonable degree of order with such a large number of pupils.
 The children are far better off physically. They have more time for recreation in che open air, and are removed from the hurtful con- ditions that exist in cro wded school rooms. The work of the teachers is in no sense lessened by the half day session, but the conditions for satis- factory work are greatly enhanced and the results much better. The test we have given the half day ses- sion has resulted in improved disci- pline, much purer and more health ful atm osphere in the school rooms and consequently better health among the pupils as shown by the remarkably low death rate amoL 2 them, more intimate acquaintance and personal owledge of the dispo- sition and ability of the pupils by the teacher, greater confidence and less restraint on the part of the pupils, thus transforming the rigid govern nett so often found in primary schools into the more perfect freedo of the kindergarten or the family.
 Ii we will remember that theschoui room is not nursery but place to receive and impart instruction,
