II IL difficult TO realize that as late
as June 20, 1880, 80 barbarous pun
lshment as that Of the pillory was still
inflicted. One Peter James Bossy stood
In the pillory in the OLD Bailey on that
day for perjury and was the last of
q long line Of victims, for II was abol-
ished Immediately afterward. Origi-
nally. like most medieval punish
ment, Il was intended more as dis
grace than as a bodily discomfort, but
a crowd that would watch all night to
gloat over a public hanging in the
morning naturally did not spare the
victims Of the pillory. who sometimes
died from the treatment they received
More humane wns the punishment for
perjury In 1893. when the offenders
were merely sentenced TO ride from
Newgate to Cornhill with paper n43ters
on their heads. But they knew a thing
or two in the middle ages, and nc

sHEARER's GRADING SYSTEM GROWING
Former Smyrna Boy Gets His Plan Of CIassi
flcaiion Adopted 10 Philadelphia.

Supt. W. j. Shearer of the Elizabeth,
n. ]. Schools, formerly of this Iown
has scored another victory for his sys
tenn of grading. Philadelphia has at
last decided to join in the procession
and follow Smyrna in adopting the
Shearer plan of classification. After
featuring in Philadelphia, DIR. Shearer
wrote series of articles for Phila
delphia newspaper, criticising the sys-
tenn in vogue there regarding tie grad
ing of pupils. These articles created
stir in educational circles there. Sup.
erintendent Edmunds then said he
was opposed to the ideas advanced by
Superintendent Shearer. He did not
then favor the short interval plan. But
since then he has changed his views
and now finds the plan in force in this
city good one.
Concerning the success of the short
interval system of classification for the
elementary schools, which has been
experimental with, report by Mr..
Edmunds says:
81 am now able to state that where
the system has been IN use every claim
made for it has been amply verified.
Each pupil has been permitted to
cover the course of study at the rate
natural to himself. 1t has enabled
bright pupils to reach the higher
schools in less than eight years. It
has reduced the loss of time for pupils
who, for various causes have been I'M
able to keep the pace set by the course
of study. As consequence these pu-
pills are getting much better educa-
ton in given number of years than
they have ever received before. / com
mend this plan to the Board as sound
business measure, because it derives
from the schools largely augmented
educational product without change in
equipment or increase in expenditure.
L commend it as an educational mea-
sure because it is based upon the needs
and capacities of the individual pupils
and not upon the necessarily arbitrary
time schedule of course of study.
When each pupil devotes his school
time to the work best suited to him,
waste is reduced to lowest possible
minimum"
Within short time DIR. Shearer will
write series of five articles for New
York paper on Conditions in the New
York Schools
