More Educational Filrtation.

' 'he following article from the Bridge-
port News, goes to prove another case
in justification of the Gaziir'rn’s recent
criticism upon the want of thorough-
ness in our public schools of drilling
scholars in the fundamental rudiments
of a good education, while the scholar
is advanced and too crammed-with non-
essential branches. But read this story
from the News : _

“See that writing! It is a shame to
think that a boy who has .been two
years in the high school should not be
able to spell the simplest of words.
Our schools are greatly overrated.”

“It was an uptown grocer, who uttered
the words. He showed his books to a
News reporter to show how defective
was the education of his son. The boy,
he said, had been in the high school
for two years. The books looked as if
they had been kept by a primary school
boy.

Cider was spelled “sidar.” Apples
was put down “apels.” The penman-
ship was poor and the spelling was the
worst the writer has ever seen in a set
of books. The grocer said that until
recently he had always believed that
the schools were all they were repro;
sent-ed to be.

Since his son has been keeping his
books he has discovered that the boy
does not know how to spell the simplest
Wol‘dt', yet he was taught to read Latin
and French. The grocer says that the
boy always is promoted with his class,
so he presumes that there are many
other scholars in the high school who
should be in the lower grades. The
grocer said: “Wespend thousands of
dollars every year on our schOols and
never refuse anything that the board
of education asks. I do not object to
this, I think that too much money can-
not be spent in this direction, but it
should be wisely spent. The education
in fundamentals, should be more thor-
ougb.

‘Children: are rushed through too
fast. The trouble is they try to 'ac-
complish too much. The lower branch-
es of education are neglected while the
heads of the children are crowded with
science and dead languages which will
never do them any good.

‘I think. that the boys after they
reach the (age of 12 years should be
taught by men and not by youngiwomen.
They would learn more of practical use
and value, I think, if there were men
teachers. I am ashamed of my son.
Just think of it. He has been two
years in the high school and he Spells
apples ‘Apels,’ and ginger ‘Jinger.’ ”

If the above were an isolated case, it
would be of little value as an illustra-
tion of the want of thoroughness in
the primary education of children in
the public schools, but the GAZETTE, to
its sorrow, knows the Bridgeport case
r‘Obe only too common.

Now to Business.

The election is over and the verdict
of the Nation has been rendered with
such emphasis that none can misunder-
stand it. It was the legical result of
two great causes either ‘ of which
was quite enough to defeat ‘a party
in power. Serious financial disturb-
ance, followed by business paraly~
sis and industrial depression, both re‘
sulting chiefly, if not wholly, from the
threat to rip up the protective tariff
and to legislate along the lines of free
tiado,and for which the party in'power
was justly responsible. This of itself
Was sufficient to cause the phenominal
political revolution which last Tuesday
resulted in democracv’s overthrow.

-No party in power has ever been
able to escape defeat when business and
industrial distress prevailed throughout
the country. Anotnor cause that was
quite sufficient in itself to defeat the
Democratic party at the late election
was the discordant and blundering
action of the Democrats in Congress.
When the great material interests of
. the country awaited legislation on both
the financial and the tariff questions,
and when promptness was indispensable
to meet the needs of the occasion, there
were months of needless delay and
such confusion in counsels and such
absence of atatosmanship that public
confidence was forfeited and defeat was
as logical as the setting of the sun. '

The injury wrought by their party
leaders was felt and resented, more
epiritedly by Democrats than by
Republicans and therefore thelatter
may not claim it as a more partisan
triumph over a fallen too. So let there
be an end of all such vain boastings
and now that the election is over let us
to Business. Our great American In-
dustries certainly have shown a quick-
enod impulse, throughout the country,
since election. Our great manufactur-
ing plants and especially our great
transportation lines, show a remarkably
sudden increase of business and
throughout every channel of commerce
and trade there' have been exhibited
increasing confidence and im'prOved
conditions- So there ise‘very reason
why ,busineis should revive 'wit-h in-
creased activity, ‘and general commer-

their party at the late election. Let
them claim what they will as to why
prosperity is coming; that is of little
consequence. The great need is the
hearty co-operation Of- all parties and
.all interests to inspire business confi-
dence and thus give employment to
our labor and happiness to our people,
and let all with one accord, unite to
promote healthy and enduring business
prosperity.

A Good indication.

Medical practionors of prominence
are prescribing for the cure of diseases
springing from derangements of the
digestive organs, Dr. Dav1d Kennedy s
Favorite Remedy. . , .
This professional endorsement is JilSlll'
fied by the fact that no other prepara-
tion has been found so efficacious in
that class of disorders, even in the. most
advanced and severe cases. It has
cured gravel in the kidneys, stone in
the blender and inflammation or the
kidneys, where all other medicines had
failed. It can be purchased at any
druggist. A book is wrapped about
each bottle, explaining its use in the
different diseases.

No License Reduction Yet.

The County commissioners have not
yet taken action in regard to reducing
the license fees for the ensuing year.
The impression grows that they will
follow the example of the commis-
sioners in other counties and fix the
amount for licenses of the first class at
3.300, As they will be in session in
South Norwalk. on Friday for the pur-
pose of granting licenses they must
take action before that time.

And She Left.

“What do you charge for cutting a
boy’s hair?” asked a woman of Harry
Leobold, yesterday. The artist looked
at the boy and said, “Twenty-five
cents,” “I can get it cut for fifteen
cents in South Norwalk,” said the
woman as she walked out and got on a
trolley car. The railway company got
ten cents car-fare by the transaction.
What did the woman save?

had been grossly insulted by a woman
named Mrs. Charles Fisherpwho lives
over Bailwitz store on Main street-
The attention of people on Main street
was attracted early in the evening by
three women, one of whom was giving
the other two a severe tongue-lashing.
The latter is known as Mrs. Charles
Fisher and the others were Sophia Per-
ry of South Norwalk and Annie Perry
of Westport. It is alleged that the
Fisher woman called the Perry women
vile names, and they sought refuge
first in Smith’s market and then in
Osterbanks’ store. Soon after Officer.
Kenney came along and escorted the
trio to police headquarters, where Grand
Juror Hoyt listened to stories of all
three women. The Perry women in-
sisted on the Fisher woman being ar-
rested. but Mr. Hoyt decided to inves-
tigate further and told the parties to
come around this afternoon. at which
time he would give his decision in the
matter. The trouble is caused by the
jealously of the Fisher woman, who
claims that her husband neglects her
to be in the company Of the Perry
woman of South Norwalk. This asser-
tion is indigvnantly denied by the Perry
woman. I the case comes to trial
some very interesting developments
may be expected as it is not the first
time the parties in interest have. had
trouble on the same score. Mrs. Fisher
has a black eye, which she says is the
result of a blow given her by her hue.

New isolation Hospital.-

The Selectmen propose to soon erect
on land at the Town Farm an Isolation
hospital to be used,in cases where con-
tagious diseases exist. A plan that
seems to meet with favor is one sug-
gested by Selectman Daskam who pro-
poses that abuiiding 30x14 one story
high be erected the two extreme ends
to be cut off into wards for the care of
the more virulent forms of diseases and
the center to be cut up into other wards
for the care of less dangerous cases.
He thinks that such a building could be
erected and furnished for a sum not
much in excess of 3500. Action Will be
taken in the matter at once and plans
and bids invited. The selectmen visxted
Bridgeport yesterday and in company
with Health officer Fltzgibbon of that
city made a tour of inspection of the
pest house and isolation hospital and
were impressed with the need of Simi-
lar accommodations in Norwalk.

A Monkey Chase.

The antics of four live monkeys in a
cage in one of the Norwalk Boston Store
windows attracts a large crowd. Last
evening one of the “monks” got out of
the cage and into the store and for a few
moments there was lots of fun that had
not been looked for. The lady clerks
were considerably frightened and the
way they jumped onto the counters
and out of the reach of the animal was
a caution. At last the poor animal
nearly frightened to death was recap-
turedzand returned to the cage with his
companions.

“The Dorion‘ House.” .

Several parties from New York and
Brooklyn are anxious to- purchase the
Gregory’s Point property owned by
Mr. John O’Suilivan. One of the
parties has made Mr. O’Suliivan, an
offer that comes pretty close to the price
that he is willing to sell for, and we
doubt not that within a short time we
shall be able to announce the consum-
mation of the sale. The party proposes
if he secures the property to make exten
sive improvements and erect one of the
largest hotels and summer resorts on the
shores of Long Island sound.

WHOLESALE GRAVE ROBBING.

People Are Afraid to Bury the Dead In
, Cemeteries. ’
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13.——The frequency
with which graves have been robbed in
this city and its suburbs within the past
few months has causedwidespread alarm
throughout the city and surrounding
cOuntry. 80 general has this fear become
that the well to do deposit the remains of
their deceased in the vaults of the under-
takers till such time as decay’s ravages
insure protection from disturbance. The
capacity of those vaults is limited, how-
ever, and the demand on them has been
so great within the past few months that
many who would avail themselves of
their protection are unable to do so. In
the villages within a radius of 20 miles
of this city the general fear has led to the
employment of guards at the cemeteries,
but despite the vigilance of these the dead
have been stolen away and so mutilated
before a search could be instituted that
identification was practically impossible.
Graves are robbed with such regularity
at the poor asylum that little attention is
paid to the practice. The fact that 23
bodies were on the dissecting tables of
the Indiana Medical college at the time
that institution was burned has called
public attention to the alarming extent
to ,which grave robbing is practiced in
this city and has added to the consterna-‘
tion of those who lose relatives by death.
There are possibly 200~medical students
in the three colleges every winter, and it
is said each of these is provided with a
separate “stiff. ” To supply this demand
there must be wholesale grave robbing.
Grave robbing is being carried on year-aft

tea are well known, but no one has been
successfully prosecuted for body snatch-
lng.

Port Arthur was bombarded previous to
