Jury Reform.

NE OF THE propositions be-
M fore the Virginia constitu-
\I tional convention which is
=, likely 10 call forth the in
terested attention Of publicists gener-
ally contemplates giving to the legis-
ature-discretionary power to frame a
law allowing trial of civil causes by a
jury of seven men, whose verdict, to be
effective, must be unanimous. The
proposed reduction from twelve Jurors
TO seven is defended on the score of
the economy that il would effect, more
especially In rural counties, where the
majority of causes for trial involve
very elemental questions of justice,
determinable quite as readily by seven
men as by twelve; and for that matter,
by fivs.or three.
The proposition by which this is
eount3ed by those reformers who fear
TO take so long n step in departure
from the venerated traditions of Anglo
Saxon Jurisprudence suggests that the
jury Of twelve be retained, but that
instead of the unanimity requirement
powervbe given to the majority OF say
two-thirds 10 vitalize a verdict. This is
a widely advocated scheme OF Jury re-
form and it seems TO us that il af-
fords wholesome escape from the
vsxatious pig-headedness Of the one or
two jurors who invariably dissent from
their colleagues without regard 10 the
law or the facts. II is not proposed
in Virginia to make any change in the
present procedure in criminal trials
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-07-10

but the requirement Of unanimity In
misdemeanor cases might well be
waived. since 1t is a direct invitation
to the attorney for the defense to
ignore all the Jurors but the one or
two selected as promising material for
jury-hanging purposes.
At all events this whole subject Of
jury reform is in for a thorough dis
cussion in the virginia convention and
those interested will no doubt watch
the debate intently.

THE TEACHERS, as usual
have received no satisfaction
4 in their plea for higher sal
aries. As usual, almost all
advance has been made to those en-
nloved in the High school. While no
criticism is made concerning this pro-
clessive action, it is to he regretted
that year after year only the High
school teachers seem to be i'm a posi-
tion 10 receive consideration. They de-
serve all they get. and in most cases
probably more, but their duties entail
less overtime work and far less respon-
sihilty in many departments than are
demanded in several grades in the out
side schools, where the teachers are
certainly underpaid.
The much-needed reform in esta sh-
ing system Of supervising principals
in the large buildings where many
teachers are employed was also en-
tirely ignored.
While the High school is certainly
deserving of great care in keeping up
its standard to measure with institu-
the board of control should be so parsi~
monious with regard to the schools
which must feed the High school.
Owing to the crowded curriculum in
the lower grades. little opportunity for
individuality is possible with teacher
or pupil and any ambition toward
original work is tacitly discouraged:
yet it is unfortunate, to say the least,
that the hard working, conscientious
teachers in the other grades are not
more adequately compensated.
One step taken by the board of con
troll must meet with the heartiest pub
lie approval and that is the appoint
rent of Miss Eliza Chase as librarian
al the High school. The position is one
which is demanded in that building
where 900 pupils are supplied with text
books At the expense of the state and
where, therefore, it is necessary that
a careful record of such supplies shall
he kept. AS no teacher has exclusive
control of any ore set or class of pupils
no one has the responsibility of the
books used by the classes as is made
possible in the other buildings The
librarians task will he one of import
ance, and Miss Chase will most ably
fill the position.
Probably no one in the city has
touched and influenced so many lives
as this faithful teacher and true gentle
woman. She is loved and honored in
all circles where for years she has been
known, and now that failing health has
interfered to some degree with her ac-
tivty as a teacher it is a satisfaction
To multitude of taxpayers and friends
that She will he still connected with the

horse. like the one of yesterday, Is able
to make quicker turns than himself,
and Is therefore an unmtigated nuis-
ance the picador rides out and the
"Chulos" or "Banderilleros" begin their
part of the game. There are four or
five OF them, each one more startlingly
bespangled than his brother, and they
skip merrily to and fro before the be-
vildered gaze OF that bull until he is
distracted with red and yellow draper
les and wishes he were back on the
plains. lie chases one In a calflsh. kit
tenish sort of fashion, awkwardly lop-
ing toward him and getting his sharp
horns entangled in that vexatious
mantle, which never seems to have
within IL the coveted soidty of flesh.
Then another diverts his attention and
he starts angrily after him. At the
further side of the arena Is a board
protection several feet high and about
rod In length. 1t is removed from
the wall sufficiently to allow a man to
slip behind IL when closely pursued,
but the bull. with his utmost endeav-

enthusiastic applause from the audi

to the other end of the defense where
his tormentor is about to emerge and
the man is forced to withdraw precipi-

This sort OF amusement Is kept up
for some time, the banderlleros adroit-
ly eluding the animals approaches and
sometimes narrowly missing the sharp
horns. Occasionally your heart gives
big bump for you think that daring
fellow will surely get impaled. The
next moment as he lightly swings over
the fence out of reach you almost wish
he had been jabbed Just little for the
satisfaction of the poor bull who must
surely be tired of all this teasing.
