A School System That Failed.

According to n report made by Mr..
Charles Moore. clerk to the Senate
committee on the affairs of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. the school system Of
the city of Washington. which has
provoked the complaints Of parents
who believed that their children We're
not receiving a good common school
education. has been found wanting.
The subject is of interest to educators
who are prone to indulge in fads. 1t
seems that parents protested that their
children We're not learning to spell,
could neither speak nor write the Eng
lish language correctly, and We're de-
fectivc in arithmetic. In the Wash
ington public schools the attempt has
been made to teach pupils how to spell,
not in the old. slow. gradual. painstak-
ing way, but by plunging them into
photography as a boy might be thrown
into the water to swim. 1t is also said
that much the same method is adopted
with regard to arithmetic, which is
taught by sort of kindergarten
scheme of playing with figures for
four or five years. Grammar has also
been taught in conversational way
with textbooks in the background.
Mr. Moore was asked to put the sys-
tenn to the test by putting the pupils
of the various high schools through
| their PAGES. The object was to deter
| mine what ground parents had for
| their complaints, which cover several
years. No less than LOO pupils were
examined in arithmetic. the English
language, history and civil government.
hn t,.ill mi
for the parents. In arithmetic the
general average was IS. Only SO per
cent of the pupils scored a mark of &c.
and but one out of the loo was per-
| feet. Fifty-three per cent. of those ex-
| amined fell below TO- In history no
one made 100 and SO made 90 or over.
The average mark was SO. The spell
ing was shocking, and in writing
J grammar and punctuation the show
ing is said to have been pretty bad !"

President Monroe.

Down at Charlottesville, Va, one
hears funny stories about President
James Monroe, who would seem 10
have been an eccentric and irascibl
parsonage, with a great reluctance to
pay his debts. He had a fine house
and a fine farm called Montpelier,
which is in sight Of the trains on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, ana q
plain granite shaft, which marks his
tomb, is visible from the highway
Mr.. Monroe was not gentleman as
that term is applied in Virginia. His
ancestry did not belong to the aristoc-
racy, and, although he was an edu-
Gated man, a lawyer Of recognized abil-
ity. Il legislator and politician Of rep
utation, he never Was admitted to the
chosen circle Of the F F. ""
one of the stories relates to a law
yer who went over to Montpelier dur
ing the latter years Of Mr.. MOnroes
life To arrange for the settlement Of a
number Of notes which had drifted into
the hands of a Charlottesville bank.
Most Of them represented borrowed
money, but several had been given for
property or merchandise purchased.
The lawyer was man Of high social
and professional standing, and Mr..
Monroe appeared to be greatly pleased
at his visit They spent the morning
upon the piazza. smoking and chatting
over the affairs Of the nation, and,
after a hospitable dinner. took walk
about the place. As they returned t0
the mansion. the lawyer remarked IN
an apologetical manner that ne must
not forget his duty in the abundance
Of his enjoyment. and handed Mr.
Monroe statement If several notes.
the interest due, the dates Of maturity
and 50 forth. He made polite speech
in explanation. and said that his client,
the bank which held the paper. hoped
that Mr.. Monroe would be able to give
some satisfaction.
I'm give you satisfaction right here

In his report. Mr.. Moore says: THE
results of the examinations would
seem to prove that the instruction in
the lower grades Of the district
schools does not fit the average pupil
to use the English language correctly
and huently. nor does it give him a
good training in arithmetic In so far
as English is concerned, the testimony
given before the subcommittee went
to show that written exercises were
seldom resorted to; that such exercises
were not corrected by the teachers and
returned to the pupils to be rewritten
The spelling book has been discarded
and the pupil has nothing in its place
Moreover, there would seem to be no
uniform tests for advancement from
grade to grade, or foY entrance to the
high school"

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

\ bird in the bush is worth two on
the hat.
Women have the advantage over
men: you can never tell when their
knees interfere.
After a woman gets married she al
ways acts superior to woman VINO
isn't married. unless she is a lot young
ar than she is herself.
4 woman never considers seriously
whether she is in love with a man or
not till she has got him where she
thinks he thinks he has got to propose
If the average woman tried all the
time to look as pleasant at her hus-
band as she does at the photographer
she would die Of nervous prostration in
two weeks.
You can generally have a lot Of fun
with the girls that are always saying
they do 50 hate spoony men.
A man ought to be made to do his
counting when the girls folks are hay
ing the house wall-papered
Half the women you see either have
some money in their stocking on else
have a bill pinned to the inside of their
corsets.
The children that their parents have
got to wishing for a little baby brother
would generally rather have dog
after they see it.
When You catch a girl playing the
hose on the side yard. she always acts
as ashamed rs if you had caught her
with her shoes off.
Broken hearts are just as much aids
to the devil as they are to religion.
If YOU give a man time enough he
will get up an excuse that will 60 with
a woman. for anything.
In every mans marriage, there is
some other woman who ought To have
been there instead Of the one that is.
Every woman who has a parrot that
swears and hired man that chews
and drinks has just 50 much less
use for husband.
After man has got to 4 certain age
without getting married. the women
say Of him that it is because he has
dead love in his heart. IL it is another
woman. they say it is because shn
never had n chance.
Love is life's funny-bone and mar
riage is its vermiform appendix.
When a man is said to he paying
attention to a girl it means that he
hasn't succeeded in marrying her yet.
The only thing Il woman can throw
anywhere near straight is a kiss. and
then every man in sight thinks she
aimed it at him.
When a girl finds a man she thinks
she would like to have love her. she
begins practicing saying don't" in an
inviting way.
He loves last who loves best.
The average man never has any use
for a fancy table that he can't stick his
feet out under.
When a girl is in love she would a
lot rather have the pneumonia than
good cold in the head
The average girl would rather admit
she was not Christian than to admit
she had been eating onions.
When a woman goes travelling she
always wears her best satin corsets.
| for fear she might get killed on the
cars.
