“Agin” School Marms.
Dr. L. B. Klein, of the Bureau of.
Education, in speaking on the subject
of the “Public School System and its.
Relation to the Industrial Problem,”
alludes to the inferiority of the indus-
tr1al and manual training schools in
the United States, more especially when
compared with those of Germany.
The Doctor should bear in mind the
generally known fact that these branch-
es of our public school system are but
in their infancy. They are as yet, it
might be said, in their experimental
stage, and can only reach that state of
perfection which characterizes institu-
tions of like nature in Europe by age
and maturity.
There is food for reflectioh in the
doctOr’s‘remarks touching the predom-
inance of women teachers in the pub-
lic schools and their methods. By rea-
son Of their inability to grasp the re-
lation Of school work to that of practi-
Cal life, he is of the opinion that ineffi-
cient methods prevail. Their place he
does not undervalue as teachers in the
lower grades, but to insure proper con-
trol and inculcate practical knowledge
in the more advanced grades, he would
have them presided over by male
teachers. ..
The American woman makes a
teacher anywhere and the doctor should
- know that as a rule they are very prac—
tical, but whether the teacher in the
the
necessary technical training and has
good
upper grade generally receives
sufi’icient experience to master success-
fully the work committed, is a question
which would apply to either. sex. A
normal school education is well enough
so far as it goes, but there are ques:
tions of discipline, proper conduct as to
the morale and health of those who are
temporarily intrusted by parenis to the
teacher’s care, which deserve consider-
ation.
The intention of the public school in
this country, contrary in a measure to
t) the doctor’s belief, is mt to give a
bay 2. professional education or me-
chanic’s trade, but to so prepare him
that he may find a proper footing for
such, and if not, that he may be prop-
erly started on a career . which will
enable him to keep himself.

New Taxable Property.
In Chicago the owners of bicycles are
to be taxed two dollars per year on each
and every wheel they may own, the fee
to be the cost of a license as well as an
element of new taxable property. The
courts have decided bicycles to be car-
riages and hence property and as proper-
ty, legitimately subject to taxation.
The scheme is primarily one for raising
revenue, and in a city of the size of
Chicago, which claims. to possess up-
ward of one hundred thousand wheel-
men, it means the collection of a. large
sum for municipal support. There is a
similar proposition pending in the Wis-
consin legislature.
There can be no question but that the
riders of bicycles together with users
of other vehicles should be taxed if the
state is to go extensively into good road
building and that the money so raised
shodld be used to this end. Otherwise
it is difficult to uuderitindthe logic of
the law unless the bicyclist is to be
taxed because he owns a valuable piece
of property. The average cost of a
wheel is m...- about eighty dollars, so
that tho annual fee of two dollars would
lieu. taxation rate of $2.50 per $i00.
The rate of taxation upon real and per-
s-onalestato hero, is on the average,
about ten miles, in both town and city,
so that the Chicago wheel rate Vvould
hero be excessive if regarded as a per-
sonal tax upon the users Of bicycles.
It may be that the taxis levied as a
t
riding in cities, and on this basis there
may be some good in the new law.
in which careless riders figure.
A license revokable jafter conviction
of carelessness, might tend to reduce
the amount of “scorching” in the streets
though it would be difficult to restrain
people from riding without licenses
unless the police force were greatly
increased. It would be an interesting
problem to provide distinctive tags or
marks for wheelmen who had paid
their fees. Some ingenious chapmight
capture delinquent cyclists. A corps
of constables to overtake tax-dodging
wheelers could be mounted on racing
machines and, perhaps do great dam-
age themselves. This Chicago idea is
about up to the usual standard of a dog
tax.
Nevertheless, if everyone owning a
ten dollar wagon must be taxed, why
nota bicycle worth from $80 to $150?
It is estimated that there are invested
in Norwalk in these wheels not less
than fifty thousand dollars and why
should not so much property pay its
fair proportion of taxation.
Hottest and Coldest.
May, 1895, will go on record as hav-
ing had the warmest and coldest May
days for many years. May 10‘1ast
week was the hottest May day since
1887. The temperature yesterday
morning was lower than it had been
before in May since 1871.

Fully $1,000 changed hands at a cock-

town secured seven, Rocky Hill six and
West Hartford four. Over 300 sports
were present.

His Head in the Wheel.
A six year old boy whose name has
not been learned by the hospital au-
thorities was badly injured last even-
ing on West street, Danbury, in trying
to steal aride ona wagon. The boy
got his head caught between the spokes
of the moving wagon and he received
a compound of fracture of the skull.
O.
: A Notable Case.
The case of Edward J. Wadhams vs.
Joseph A. Gray, is before the Court of
Common Pleas to-day at Bridgeport.
This is a case that is eliciting an unus-
ual amount of interest and a large num‘
ber of witnesses have been summoned
from here. Wadhams proposes to have
Gray disbared for conduct unbecoming
a lawyer and a gentleman.
Cemetery Thieves.
The detestable practice of stealing
flowers and plants from the cemeteries
in town and which assumed such ex-
tensive proportions last summer, has
been renewed. Several visflors to the
cemetery Sunday found that their plots
had been robbed, pots and all being
removed in several instances. It has
been arranged to keep a lookout for
the thieves and if caught they will be
severely dealt with.
A Darlen Divorce Suit.
Constable Alonzo Weed of Darien
served papers Saturday on William Mil-
liken, in divorce proceedings instituted
by his wife, Lizzie Milliken, now of
Hartford. The case is returnable be-
fore the Superior Court in Hartford the
firsta'l‘uesday in June. Mrs. Millikan
was formerly Lizzie Root and lived at
“The Rustic” until she married Milli-
ken, April 18, 1804. She alleges non-
support, intolerable cruelty and intem-
perance.
Married Too Much.
Frederick Parrott, of Bridgeport, was
tried in the police court yesterday for
non-support, ' but he may have to
answer to the charge of bigamy. In
1876;he married Elihabeth Synnot there
and they lived together until 1883 when
they quarrelled and separated. In 1894
Parrott secured a divorce in Chicago
giving the address of his wife as 146
Chapel street, New Haven. She had
not left Bridgeport.
Parrott returned recently and his wife
caused his arrest for non-support. The
fact then leaked out that he had mar-
ried again. His case was continued in
order that further evidence might be
obtained.
An immense Work.
The “Book of the Fair,” by Hubert
Howe Bancroft, is the only work of the
kind published regarding the great ex-
position. It is to be a full and com-
plete history and description of the
World’s Fair at Chicago, organization,
buildings, and exhibits, covering the
whole ground, and is as full in detail as
can be within the .limits assigned,
nameln 1,000 imperial folio pages of
pictures and print, to be issued in
twenty-five parts, of forty pages each.
The parts already out are magnificent
specimens of the printers’ and the il-
lustrators’ art. The work is a repro-
duction of the great exposition, so far
as it can be within reasonable limits in
print and pictures. The text is pure
and classic, and the illustrations the
finest that can be made. '

ance relative to the conduct of passen-

way car while making. regular trips
within the city limits unless such per-
son is actually engaged in smoking.

the free and unobstructed entrance or
egress of any passenger to or from said

Hooray for Gregory’s Point.
Landlord O’Sullivan has been busy
while others were asleep, with the re-
sult that lic-day he has one of the finest
summer resorts on the shores of Long
Island sound. It is admitted that no-
where on the shores of Connecticut is
the air as invigorating. as at Gregory’s
Point. This summer it will be easy of
access as the Tramway company has
extended its line to the Point, and the
weather being favorable there will be
a band concert Saturday afternoon and
evening. Shore dinners are served
every day and at all hours, and the
prices charged and the dinners served
will be of such a gratifying nature that
continued patronage is assured.
Runaway.
A horse belonging to Nickerson &
Bette, the grocerymen, ran away yes-
,te‘rday afternoon. Mr. Miller, who was
delivering groceries on Mott avenue,
left the horse unhitched while he went
into a house to deliver goods. During
Miller’s brief absence the horse became
frightened and ran, from Mott avenue
to Wall street, through which street he
dashed at a. breakneck speed threaten-
ing life or limb to all. At the corner
of‘Main street the wagon collided with
'a trolley car. and was hurled. against
the pole in front of Hale’s drug store.
The horse kept up his mad pace,_and
slipping fell on the walk in' front of the
Boston Store. Miller arrived on the
scene in time to get the horse out of its
predicament. ’
