Question of Arithmetic.


However. there was little discus
sion of Senate bill 329. relating to
copies of reports to be furnished to
auditor, supervisor and council; and to
the fees of clerks. Senator Parks
claimed that under the provisions of
the bill. which allowed clerks of the
court 5 cents for every name enrolled
upon the delinquent tax list, the clerk
could make on some days as much as
$40. as he had know them to enter as
many as 500 names in q day.
Senator Sims, at this point got his
figures a little mixed. and claimed
that 500 names at cents each would
only be 81. Senator Parks wanted to
Senator Sims had arrived at his con-
clusion. and the Senator from Louisa
on going over his figures. laughingly
acknowledged his mistake.
The bin was finally passed by a
large majority.
Senator STROBE offered resolution
in regard to the mode of procedure
under. which the Senate should work
for the remainder of the day. The
resolution was adopted after Senator
Hart had insisted that the time of adj
journment of the night session should
be changed from 1880 to 10 o'clock.

Term. OF Circuit Courts.


Delegate Stuart asked the House to
take up out of its order a bill fixing
the dates for holding the terms of Cir
cult Courts. Considerable confusion re-
suited many points of order being
entered. Mr.. Withers, who occupied
the chair. raped heavily for order.
The House agreed to take the bill
up out of it's order. The clerk read It
by sections, each circuit being constd-
cred separately. An amendment in the
schedule of the Third Circuit was
agreed to. Buckingham county was
transferred from the Fifth Circuit to
the Twenty-ninth Circuit Changes in
dates were made In various other cir
cults, and a schedule was arranged for
the new Thirtieth Circuit. comprising
Bedford and contiguous counties. Mr..
Stubs spoke against the bill as a
whole. declaring that 1t was an attempt
to amend a statute already declared
unconstitutional. Mr.. Throckmorton
argued for the constitutionality of the
law, and Eas supported by Mr.. Cation
and others. Mr.. Montague asked for
an amendment to the court terms for
the Circuit Court of the city of Rich
mond providing four terms year.
His motion was opposed by Mr.. Cox,
who said that the present schedule
was satisfactory. The amendment was
lost. The bill was ordered to It's en-

MANUAL TRAINING
Committee on Investigation Will
 Make a Favorable Report

When the board of education holds it's next meeting which will be on the evening of Monday, April IS Superintendent Tinker and Commis- sioners J. J. Mcdonald and Walter A. Monagan will report favorably for the inauguration of manual training in the school as far as it can possibly be installed. The committee got home last evening from the trip through the schools of New York city bubbling over with enthusiasm and the necessity of installing the idea in the schools as soon as ever it can be done.
 Commissioner Monagan said the committee was as busy as it could be from g o'clock yesterday morning till late in the afternoon visiting the schools. In the rear of Public school No on Seventy-seventh street and Madison avenue the committee was shown a plot of ground twenty Yet long by two feet wide which cost s city $40,000. The former owner t the property proposed to build on il and to save the school from being darkened, which would be the result if the plot was built upon, the city had to buy it. In each end of the plot was pile of loam where the pu- pills were given some idea of horticul- ture. There were two principals in this school, one experimenting the lessons of the boys and the other those of the girls.
 MT Monagan said that in almost all the schools manual training is taught from the sixth grade up, girls being taught sewing and cooking and boys the great Yankee trick of whittling
 In school on Avenue A there are 5000 pupils and seventy teachers, and in this school the entire system of manual training is in vogue There are two classes named D classes in

which all the deficients are placed, one for boys and one for girls who are IA years of age, and seemingly have reached the limit of their liter 'ary capacity. These classes are un- der the supervision of two special teachers, and while the girls are learning to sew and cook, the boys are whittling, and in the words of Commissioner Monagan, Tt is sur prising the things they make, with only their knives"
 The principal of this school said that since manual training was es- tablished there the results are fifty per cent better than before. The de- ficient pupils like to use their hands and fingers and they never tire of sewing and whittling.
 The committee made most pleas ing discovery. In some of the schools French and German are taught in the seventh and eighth grades and it was quite edffying to hear pupils speak ing in German and French. They would turn from one language to the other with an ease that was astonish- ing for pupils so young.
 Commissioner Monagan said that the number of deficients in the local schools is far greater than anyone not connected with them have any idea of. He considered it the duty of the city to give these children an equivalent for what they do not seem quite able to obtain from books and paps. It seemed to him that manual
 eaining could be established in the hools with very little additional co and he would favor it's inaugura- tiol as soon as practicable.

HIGH COURT TO
DISBAR LAWYER
KNOXVILLE ATTORNEY SUSPEND
ED FOR ONE YEAR BECAUSE
OF IMPROPER PRACTICE.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 1.-THE
Supreme Court today passed a rule
barring Walter s. Roberts, of the
Knoxville bar, from practice in the
State courts for one year.
This case grew out of Roberts con.
nection with the famous G. Kern bank
ruptcy proceedings more than a year
ago. A committee of the bar appoint
Cd to investigate and report suggested
a reprimand for the attorney but the
court went further and suspended
him, adding that but for the fact that
he was fast losing his eyesight that
the penalty would have been made
even more severe.
The Supreme Court also settled the
famous Collier Judgeship case, sus-
tanning the special Chancellor, who
held in favor Of Clolier, the County
Judge, who has been constantly at
law since he took Office six years ago
and is now safe in Office for the first
time.
