Encouraging Bright Pupils.

= Il I
Parents and educators everywhere
viii DE interested in the experiment
now being tried in the Cincinnati
public schools Of establishing a
class room for especially bright pu-
pills, which would appear to be the
logical accompaniment Of the class
room for backward pupils. The
proposition that It is as unfair to
hold back the apt and clever child
in the ranks OF the mediocre as 1t is
to speed the dull pupil to a place he
cannot maintain appeals as reason
able and common sense.
It will be argued with much force
that the system which makes pro-
vision for caring for the backward
pupil can not be justified without
provision is made accommodating
the needs of those who can advance
more rapidly that the average. The
proposition simply provides for the
application to schooling OF the plan
that is. generally adopted and fol-
lowed in the business world, where
wage scales, chances Sof1 promotion
and all the advantages are based on
the abilttyiof those employed to ad-
vance rapidly in one line or another.
This has not been the, rule in the
schools where the system has been
adjusted to meet the requirements
of the average pupil, with special
provision made for those below the
average.
The net result OF this system has
been retardation, for which the pu-
pills are not to blame. The Cincin-
natl educators have decided that the
old system of trying to make
all children at the same edu-
cational patterns is unsatisfactory in
general and particularly unfair TO
the bright pupils, who are to be-
given special attention under more
sensible and equitable method.

Wisdom and sincerity.

tAll agree with the Wheeling Ia
telligencer that many doubt the WIS.,
dom of Governor Glasscock in his in
tentfon to call the legislature into
extra session but none doubt his sin
cerity and good motives. Here is
what the Intelltgencer says on the
subject:
Charleston dispatches inbicate
that Governor Glasscock stands nrm-
" by his intention to Gala an extra
session of the legislature. While
the Intelligencer has doubted the
wisdom of the decision, it does not
doubt the sincerity or the good mo-
lives that inspire the chief execu-
tive. 1T recognizes also that he has
sources of information that are not
open to an persons, and that he may
have. assurances that justify him
with the belief that valuable action
viii be secured from the legislature.
Whatever the result, one thing Is
certain. This Is, the influence of the
CHIEF executive Will be exercised in
every honorable and proper manner
to secure the passage of such legis-
latlon as the people of West Virginia
desire. If the legislature does its
duty as faithfully as the chief ex-
ecutive does his, We need have no
fears for the result of the legisla-
tive session.

BOLD ROBBERS STOLE
TWO OVERC0ATS
From Hall In House of Peter Morrison
of Summer Street Yesterday Aft
ernoon-His Tracks Easily
Seen

A bold robbery perpetrated some
time during the early part of yesterday
afternoon left Peter Marion, residing
at 62 Summer street, minus two winter
overcoats Of considerable value. From
the nature Of the theft, it is thought
the thief must have been some one fa-
miliar with the house and premises.
The two coats hung in the front corridor
of the house, and when member Of
the household left at o'clock both gar
ments were in their places An hour
later it was found that the coats had
mysteriously disappeared, while tracks
in the heavy snow lead to the rear Of
the house and over TO Main street, show
ing plainly the direction in which the
thief had decamped. The house il a
doubletenement structure, occupied in
part hy Charles Bianchi. II Is thought
that the thief approached and left the
building by way Of Main street. Al
though no definite clews have vet been
obtained, suspicion points to person,
who, it is believed, may be easily appre-
hended. The case has been reported to
the police.

LESS FEES TO PAY.
Under New Law Which Makes Police
men Sign the Warrants.

Rodney Mcdonald of Cirauiteville
pleaded guilty in the city court this
morning to a subsequent offense of in.
toxication and paid a fine, with costs
amounting to 5000. lie was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon by Chief Sin
clair who Sound him rolling in a big
bank oil snow at the corner of Main
and Pearl streets. This was the first
case the officers have had under the new
law making them informing officers
where arrests are made without war
rant, The officers sign the warrants
when the prisoner is arraigned and the
grand juror is not called in as formerly
to sign the warrants.
Under this new law Mcdonald had
81 60 less costs to pay because the Of
icer signed the warrant; whereas ii
the grand juror had been called in a fee
of sl60 would have been added A
peculiar thing about the law is that
when the grand juror signs the warrants
q fee Is added to the costs and this fee
goes ints the state as the grand Juror
is paid a salary; but when the officers
sign the warrants the fee is not added
and the state is out that amount.
