Aid of Pupils in School Govern
ment.

Ala OF Pupils III S~hiSS'
ment.
By pHx Joas r. RAT, John crerar sehoo'' @n'''s'
The expression "pupil government 10
unfortunate in that 1t Is misleading
what IL really meant by the new move
ment in school government 10 the enlist
ing pupils In assisting to good government
in the school.
In every school room as in every COM
munity, there IL always q larger e'emeh'
disposed to obey orders and do right 'oan
the number disposed to dlsobey and DE-
liberstely do wrong. The difficulty 10 'ha'
this well.disposed element Is passive IN
ito influence upon the school, while the
thoughtless or really vicious are always
active. 1t 10 the duty of the teacher tc
stimulate the good element to an active
influence for right in the school COM
munity.
Asa matter Of fact. there is no sys'
fanatic and sustained effort put forth t'
do this. NAV 60 further and saw ina
there is, unconsciously on the part OF th'
teacher, a policy pursued that tends t'
reoress the active influence for good tina
mauy pupils could exercise over the ies'
thoughtful with whom they associate
The first and greatest bugbear ina
teachers and parents allow to stand IN tn'
road of this influence is that OF exposing
wrong doing. Iii called "tattling," an'
tabooed as an ignoble and unmanly thing
Some teachers even 60 so far as to ga!
that they would rather not find out aoou
wrong acts than to have one pupil expose
another.
STATE LAW AND SCHOOL LAW.
We are all agreed as to the pernic'ou
effect of idle tattling. There is, howeve
wide difference between this ana
manly EXPOSURE of wrong doing that tn
school community may he benefited an'
protected, and the evil-doer exposed AM
corrected. The foundation OF all goo
government rests on the idea that 1t
the duty of every citizen to "bear witness
when called upon to do so. Common Ia"
statute law, and the Mosaic law alike DE
mand this. The law makes it the duty o
every citizen TO "come into court an
give testimony when necessary. lie mus
toll tho truth when he does come ana ID
| must testify whether he wishes 10 90 30
not. unless it would incriminate himseh'
Again, common law and statute LAY
make a citizen a party to the crime II
can he shown that he has guilty knowledg
Of the illegal act and assists in hiding It,
Yet in our schools, as a rule, we dIscar
all of these principles, and are often Will
ing to regard it as virtue in a child
refuse to give information or to assist
the exposing of wrong.
The child soon learns in school 10 Sc
and hear nothing. He is taught that IL
the teachers business, not his, to discoVe
what is going on. Soon he goes furtne
and is assisting to hide wrong acts iro'
the teacher.
Soon the evl-doer gives him to under
stand that he is expected to keep still
and the bad boys acts become bolder'
there is no one but the teacher whom
needs to fear. The bad boy, like the ia
man in community, imposes on every
body, and protects himself by the sent
ment, allowed to grow up, that everyol
must hide the wrong acts Of everyone eli
from those in authority.

lnuy scnts for Monday Nishr. For

Treble Box office PRICES solu-
dion OF the Nuisance su=se.ted.

There was much Kicking" all over
Norfolk yesterday on the part of per-
sons who wanted to buy tickets for the
performance of THE Christian" at the
Academy of Music Monday night and
general statements that the house had
been bought up by spectators.
Inquiry at the box office of the Acad-
envy elected the information that the
sale of tickets for this attraction open
ed yesterday at . Il. m, and the house
was sold by 1850 a. m. The Academy
management states that Il line of peo-
pie began forming at midnight We'd
nesday, and when the box Office OPEN
ed yesterday morning there was q line
Oh waiting people extending to Holmes
drug store. and others kept coming in
large numbers.
The management also states that It
did not knowingly sell any tickets TO
Spectators, and the highest number
sold TO any one person was twenty
seven seats, which were for theatre
party. There were also several other
large sales for other theatre parties.
The Academy has no rule for the linn
itation of sale of seats. but attempts,
SO lar as possible, TO prevent specula-
ton In tickets for any attraction an
pearing there. y number of applicants
Tor blocks Of seats were refused tick
cts yesterday while the sale was still
on, as the Academy management be
lleved they were wanted for specula-
tive purposes.
The inability of applicants to obtain
seats at regular prices after 80 A. IN.
yesterday caused great dissatisfaction.
but the Academy management saws
mat no blame attaches to it, as the
demand exceeded the supply.
LOOK OUT NENT TIME.
The next attraction of great note at
the Academy of Music is Richard
Mansfield in "Cyrano de Bcrgerac"
March 9Th, and 1t is probable that even
n greater rush for seats will occur. In
View of this probability persons who
wish to see this performance had bet
ter make their arrangements to have
representative up all night near the
head of the line.

SOCK Social.

There was a large gathering at the
Sock Social" given last evening at the
Y. NJ. c. ~. for the benefit of the organ
fund of Emmanuel Chapel.
The musical part of the program.
which was under the direction OF Prof.
j. j. Miller, was q success in every
way, and-the ROTATIONS added much
to the enjoyment of the evening.
At the conclusion OF the program
Masters Hermon Lewis and Herbert
Joynes did the cake walk, which was
very amusing
The sock presented by the mothers
of the chapel was filed to overlooking.
and Judging by the number of people
present at the social good sum must
have been realized for the fund.
Mr.. w. G. Richard, not Prichard. as
was printed in the program, rendered
two bass solos-"The Courier of Mos
COW" and Morse Lullaby"

that the prospects for an indeterminate

most flattcring
The Virginian Pilot representative cx-
ahmed the pumping at several of the
new wells just put down. At one, where
the laborers had just started pumping,
u large amount of sand was coming out
and the water was very turgid. At an
other, where pumping had been going
on for some hours, the water appeared
very clear and potable This prelimi-
nary pumping is done with small hand
pumps, TO clean out the sand and
earthly matter from the pipes. When
the wells are thoroughly cleaned they
are connected with one of the two pipe
lines leading to the main suction well.
