This habit of the negroes has become
a great evil in Winston.
There is absolutely nothing worthy of
mention in the case against the regis

that the Commissioner, who is Repub-
lican, will bind defendant over
Lawyers for the defence and others who
are employed in the case say that any
judge learned in the law would dismiss
the cases as summarily as Judge
Montgomery dismissed the Steptoe case.
The first witness called for the de-
fence was on the stand when court adj
journed this afternoon. He testified pos
itively that he refused to register no
one whom he thought, after investigation,
to be a qualified voter He said he did
not know many of the negroes who had
presented themselves for registration,
and had simply requested such ones to
bring evidence showing their right to
register, and assured them that he would
register them if such evidence was forth
coming.
Several of the negroes testified that
they were sent for about the matter of
testimony by the Republican chairman
of the county, and that they explained
to the Republican managers before the
warrant was issued that they had not
finally been rejected but only requested
to produce other evidence.
The white people here are determined
that disqualified negroes shall not reg
lister, and they sustain the registrar in
exercising a proper circumspection in see
ing that the large body of floating negro
population which is here for temporary
purposes only are not allowed to register
and thereby control the government of
the county in which they have no in
terest.
Chairman Simmons is still here and
will remain until the prosecution is end
ed The people feel that these warrants
are a great outrage. and the matter will
probably not be allowed to drop what
ever may be the action of the Commits

Old and New School Methods.
} the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the f.ultOr OF Inc evening Star.
The fair discussion of any subject that
affects the welfare of the community re-
suits in good. 1t indicates an awakening of
the public mind, it's interest is aroused, it is
in receptive state and calls for informa-
ton. Such are the conditions that exist
now in regard to the conduct of the public
schools of this city. If the methods of in
struction are bad they should be promptly
changed; If they are good no step backward
should be taken. Comparisons of past
methods with present ones should be made,
facts should be correctly stated, If just con-
illusions are to be reached. These compare
sons need not be invidious. for in the
good old times" We thought that We kept
in line with other leading cities.
Formerly penmanship was taught not
only by having long periods of practice
every day, but the pupils were drilled on
the measurements, slants, curves and spac-
ing of both small and capital letters. The
drill was carried to such an extent that an
examiner could dictate the above technical
terms to pupils. and they would readily
give the word his combination required.
The result of this system was beautiful
penmanship in the higher grades, after
years of labor. Several years ago vertical
writing was introduced into the public
schools of this city. A skillful teacher can
give in one lesson to advanced pupils all
the instruction that this simple system re-
quires, and if they follow the directions the
perfection of legibi,ity is assured in a short
time.
A little more than a decade ago pupils
were required to commit to memory scores
of pages Of unrelated words. Following a
written test, each misspelled word was COR
rectly written from five to ten times. Chill
dren worked daily in this treadmill, learn
Ing to spell. Now more attention is given
to the definition of words, especially deri-
vations, the children noting the modifying
effect Of prefXes and suffixes on root mean
ings. The words of the lesson, being well
understood, are correctly used in the for
nation of sentences.
In a word, during the time when me-
chanical methods of instruction prevailed
children were under an increasing mental
strain from the first school day until the
elimination was reached in the torture of
three days written examination at the
close of the term, in hot June weather. The
present superintendent promptly abolished
this educational inouisition, and all other
methods that subjected pupils to a nervous
tension. For these humane acts, SO far
reaching in their beneficent influence, he
has the gratitude of all persons in this city
who love children and rejoice when the
best conditions for the DEVELOPMENT of
child-life are secured to them
The time gained by eliminating unneces-
sary work in penmanship and spelling is
judiciously used in the study of geology in
the higher grades. r,
