RIGHTS OF A POLICEMAN.
should Not he Twice Tried for the
Same OHeuae.

Policeman Joseph Potter was recently
fined $40 in the Police Court for assaulting
Leopold Osher. Mr.. Osher brought the
matter to the attention Of the chief of DO
lice. who directed that the officer be tried
for conduct unbecoming an officer. The
trial took place before Captain Austin, a
verdict of not guilty being returned
Mr.. Osher protested to the Commissioners
against the manner in which Captain Aus
tin conducted the trial. the latter conclud-
ing that it would be unlawful to try a man
twice for the same offense.
From a report Of the case submitted TO
the Commissioners by Maj. Sylvester. the
chief OF police, 1t appears that the assault
took place at the policeman's house, when
the officer was off duty. and Maj. Sylvester
explained to the Commissioners that be-
cause man is a police officer he is not de-
prived of all his rights as a citizen, espe-
cially when in his home and not perform
ing the duties required of him In an official
capacity.
II the officer used unnecessary force In
ejecting Mr.. Osher from mis- house the
major thinks he paid for that excess as
would any other citizen by the penalty i'm.
posed by the court, and that his conduct
at that time was not unbecoming an officer
The Commissioners have taken this view
Of the matter, and have Informed Mr.
Osher that in their opinion the trial was
proper and no injustice was done him in
connection with it.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
If our children lose their birthright to an
education, as Americans no one can ever
make up such a loss to them; and if 1t is
done to any extent by g. system this should
be abolished. My four children have at
tended the public schools of Washington,
and in connection with the standing and
work of one Of them l had a conversation
less than a year ago with one of the old
teachers who has been in the grades for
many years as teacher, and was told that
1T was astonishing how many of the young
people were gaining SO little foundation for
a useful life: so large a number to assist
their families, being obliged to leave school
In the sixth, seventh or eighth grades. She
had known of great deficiency in arIthme-
tic and spelling and geography and gram
mar, while perhaps they had a smattering
of geology, botany, zoology and literature
criticism beyond their years. and which
may be useful to those conditioned to take
a more complete education than the major
ity; 1t is not useful to the latter. There
seems to be serious defects in the system
as many teachers declare privately but of
course would fear the effects of public ut
teranees Of that kind.
Our schools cost enough to be of more
practical value to the majority of our chill
dren. A policy seems to be established not
to furnish a substantial knowledge of the
fundamental branches of common school
education. so that at the end of the grades
the pupils would have a fair academic
schooling. but rather to befog and confuse
these young people so as to prevent too
many of them from passing high in exam
nations and causing them to fail of the
High School. Boys leaving school in the
grades to help the family especially need a
pretty good knowledge of arithmetic, which
they do not appear to get now. The pupils
SO frequently, too, have to dig away at
their lessons, no matter how unessential,
until III or IL o'clock at night. A. L. s.
