The idea Of the newspaper in
the public school has been taken
up IN New Yorls,. or rather in
Brooklyn, where tor a few minutes.
each day pupils re5;d and discuss
newspaper lore as . course Of study.
As yet this is an experiment, only
a few Of the principals have
adopted it. but wherever tried it
seems to meet with hearty APP
proyal. Il IS proving of benefit,
not only as a means Of disseminate
ing a knowledge Of the news Of the
day, but it makes a delightful
change in the regular routine of
school work.

Exceptions to Action in Case of Will.
liam Duffy, Paroled Patient.

DR.. White, superintendent of St. Eliza
beth's Hospital for the Insane, is not salts
fled with the action of the authorities in the
case of William J. Duffy, alias O'Brien, the
paroled patient who was held for the action
OF the grand jury yesterday on charges Of
having shot two employees of the War De-
partment. In conversation with Star re-
porter this morning DR.. White said he
thought he was entitled to the custody Of
the prisoner, who had been turned over to
the asylum by the Secretary of War. Duffy,
he is stated, is undoubtedly insane and the
District is wrong in not returning him to
the institution for treatment. He says he
Will call upon the Commissioners and ask
them to turn the patient over to him. He
requested the police to return him to the
asylum the day of the shooting, but his re-
quest was denied by the superintendent of
police, who preferred to have the court de-
termine what disposition should be made
of the prisoner.
