Tlic Lower ( Jriuli.-n UH They Aiu | | > nr at the Central School. "The pulilie schools of Omaha might as well bo in Franco for all Uio people hero know of them , " said one of the brightest of the lady teachers nt the Central school Riday to a repottcr of THE BEE , who was Bunt there to write them up. Dot ting the city at all points are its public school buildings , many of them costly structures , tilled with busy little boys and girls working nine months in the year , yet they are seldom visited andstill less frequently described. The Central school building , better known ( us the High school , was found to bo very much crowded , rooms and Imllsthat were never intended for use as school rooms tilled with desks and ap paratus which will bo placed in their now buildings when they are completed. But this appears to make no difference with the orderly ap pearance of the school. The thousand scholars in the central school building as cend and descend the stairs , go from room to room , nrrivo und leave with per fect system and deportment. There are twenty rooms in the graded department with , at the present moment , 8U4 schol ars , ( Uid in the high school proper are five mure teac era with about 00 students , making 054 in all. TIIK FIllST DKAIIK. Miss Schlesinger has in her room fifty- four little boys and girls , who compose the A class , the very hrststop in the long upward course of the eight grades. These children have never been at school be fore , and are hero taught their letters , to spell by sound and to read easy sentences. The children had evidently bestowed great labor upon their slates ) which wore all neatly printed. A class of about twelve were reading from the first reader of the Apnlctnn series , a very excellent work prepared by the superintendent of the Cleveland and St. L'ouis schools and the instructor of elocution at Yale. The children are first taught the words as whole words , the sounds are then desig nated , and finally the letters of the word. It will be seen that the A B C system has become a thing of the past. The reading was astonishingly good and entcrely free from that jerky and discontinuous pro nunciation of words so commonly noticed in small children. Miss * Buchanan has about forty little ones of the B and C class , quartered in the front vestibule of the high school building , which is used as * a schoolroom temporarily. The children are taught hero to combine numbers from one to ten , and their ciphering is neatly done. In this room also the first lessons in writing are given , the letters being copied from models drawn on the blackboard by the teacher. The desks in this room are itf. n new pattern , handsomely finished. At' recess every book and slate was seen exactly in the center of each desk , and there was a general air of neatness. TIIK 8KCONI ) OKADK , Mis.s Mack has the C class of the first grade and the A class of the second , including fifty boys and girls. The most interesting thin" noticed hero was the mode of teaching language , known once as object lessons. There are a number of highly colored pictures used in this exercise. Taking up ono of these the teacher describes the scene rep resented to the scholars , and then they write what they can about it on their slates. The BKB representative selected a picture 'known as "The Bird's Funeral , " and de sired that something bo written upon that , promising that the best essay should bo printed in THK BFU. There was im mediately a brisk and excited cleaning up of slates and a bending over them of busy heads , while 'little brows were wrinkled and little lists clenched tightly about the pencils. Now and then one would rub his head or gaxo intently at the ceiling , just as wo all do in composi tion. At the end of five minutes the work was examined , and the following by Anna Kalish , aged eight , decided to be the best in penmanship and length : "I can see two girls and four boys in the picture , a boy mid a girl are drawing the cart , there is a little dead bird , and the little bird will bo in the grnvo , the little boy is crying. " This room and the two lower ones are dismissed at 0:30. : Before leaving , Miss . Mack's scholars sung this pretty verse , in 1 which they are always careful ts substi tute "Monday" for "to-morrow , " when Saturday comes around. "Our | diiy is o'or , our work in tlono , Our hooks nro in their iilncpn , And to our homes we'll quickly run , With cheerful heurtu and faces. So now wo l > rt , w ith right good cheer , Without n thought of sorrow , And nay "Rood night , " our teacher lenr , Wo'll all coino buck to-morrow ! " THE TIUKD aitADK. Miss Johnston has fifty-four scholars in the B and 0 classes of this grade. We wore just in time to listen to the morn ing exercises , first n rousing negro melody and then a number of admirable selec tions declaimed in mmon. The pupils stood in lines down the aisles , "rows of liquid eyes of laughter , " and recited vividly , intelligently and with excellent gestures , ' 'Old Time Punishment , " "Tho Smack in School , ' , ' Jio famine scene in Hiawatha , and Oaribaldi'ti address to his soldiers. They know who Oaribaldi was and his wife tees : questioning showed. They had become interested in the noble old son of Italy from a portrait of him in some copies of The London Graphic , con tributed by one of the boys. Everybody seeemed full of life and voice , and made their gestures full length and vigorously. The sobs of "William Willith , if you pleatho , " and thu moaning of Hiawatha's forest wore perfect. Mian Cushman lias the third A class , numbering fifty-five at present. There was n lesson in spelling going on in this loom , and some pretty tough \\ords at tacked , such as "passengurs , " "oriole , " and "menafjorio. " They also spelled by 8ound , writing the words on the hoard and marking out the silent h-tlera. Very few \ > i > rds'\uio misacd. They luad the third reader of the Appleton uries half through , and make original sentences , using the words they have had in their lessons. They write model letters on their slates , and make the common error of commencing all their epistleswith "I. " They write numbers in this grade up to ono thousand , and Ifeim to subtract where the bottom one is Iarg6r that ) the top , and learn to multiply where the pro duct is not more than nine. Miss T , McChcane hiw fifty-five schol ars of the tJiird 0 class , who are doing , however , fourth grade work , and they alHook as though they might bo capable of it. They have finished the third read er this year , something never before ac complished , we believe. They were do ing some sums on their ( dates. Their teacher naid. "if there are 1WO inarbles in one box , 428 in another , X8 in a third ; how many ii alU" In less than half a minute by the watch half a dozen hands were waved aloft and the answer given , 1002. A sum in sub traction was given , the names of familiar persons being used instead of the stere otyped Jones and Smith. "Mr. Miller lias 8,105 bushels of potatoes and Peycko Bros , buy 4tr ! > bushels , how many bush els lias Mr. Miller left ? " The work was performed immediately and proved by addition. Several little boys and girls brought up their slates to show how neat ly they had done their work. They then 1'ave , definitions of addition and sub traction and told what the commission business is. Miss McCheano has four rows of scats in her room which indi cate four orders of merit , the first row being the most hon orable , and aristocratic in its bearing to the other rows. They are all "bees in the bee-hive" with a "ijuccn-beo , " and the "busy bet's" have their names on the blackboard. Hero also are the names of the ' 'little raindrops , " or scholars who come whether it storn/s / or not. In the dreadful rain and hail of last Tuesday morning , there were thirty little rain drops. Tin : FOUKTH ISUADI : . Miss ,1. Wilson has a room in thu baia- meiit , where are seated forty-six scholars of the A and B classes of the fourth grade. She had a clans spelling words of thu samu sound , spelled difiercntly , and there were frequent changes of position made by the unlucky ones who missed. A smart-looking little Gor man girl was at the head of the class and kept her place through the recitation. The tow-hea ls at the foot of the class looked as sheepish as they usually do in that position. This room having finished the third reader , the board of education has loaned copies of the Webster-Franklin advanced third reader for supplementary work. The study of geography is commenced in this grade , twenty-two pages being taken in the first of the Eclectic scries by _ Van An twerp , Bragg & Co. , Cincinnati. Miss Stull has the B and C classes of this grade , forty-nine pupils. They : were reviewing for the " examinations which begin next Monday , and wo were given an op portunity to see the modern method of teaching geography. On the wall hum. ' ' a largo outline map of the United States , without any printed names of localities , all the cities being indicated by itaru. With a pointer one of the scholars would indicate all the rivers in Illinois , for in stance , or the towns , 'or the principal places in Michigan. Being questioned about Nebraska , they showed a .very in telligent appreciation of their own state. Miss Stull gives them a breath ing exercise for invigorating them after study , in which they rise on their toes and inhale , holding their hands in different positions on the wrist and retaining the breath for a considera ble interval. This very healthy exorcise is pursued in many of the lower grades. THK FIFTH (1HADE. Miss M. Wilson has the A class of the fifth grade , about fifty scholars. She had just read to them a shoit description of carrier pigeons , and they wcro writing on their slates from memory what they had heard. Some gave a very full reproduc tion of the matter , others caught only at the main ideas. Two or three wrote enough to cover two sides of their slates , but nearly all were without proper punctuation and capitalization. They study arithmetic as far as compound numbers in this room , the geography of the United States , Canada and Mexico , and read one-half of the. fourth reader. Miss Morse has about fifty scholars , who , when wo entered , were doing some blackboard work in the reduction of de nominate numbers , such as reducing Ur ! ) , > ( i7 inches to higher denominations. As'a test of rapid work. Miss Morse desired - sired the BKB man to give out some table to bo written on slates while she counted ten. The table of square measure was first taken. One young man had it all neatly written out before hia teacher had counted six , and others followed rapidly , the count occupying ono minute. The bible of avoirdupois weight was done in a third of a minute by some , and thu writ ing was neat , thu lines straight and oven. Some physical exercises were then token , ' but the pupils at this ago do no't show the interest or animation in this work that is displayed in the lower grades. The vocal exercises were better , "The Two Vagabonds , " and that beautiful selection commencing , "Tho golden ripple on the wall , " were well rendered in unison. Portia's speech , "Tho Quality of Mercy , " was given , and Shakespeare and this character dis cussed. Miss Andrews has forty-five in the B class. On the board were three largo maps in colored chalk , two of North and South America drawn by thu girls , ami ono immense map of the United State. ' by the boys. These were drawn by all in turn , and in sections as the work pro gressed. Completed , they are very per fect in outline and finish. They were drilled on the maps , Miss Andrews pointing to various parts which were named without hesitation , rather too nervously and quickly , per haps. All the places in South America with difficult names were pronounced glibly , and when the straits of Magellan were struck they had something to Hay of the early explorer who took three years and twenty-eight davs to make the voy age around thu earth , which can now be accomplished in eighty days.

Ur.r DKAH Sin. In reply to some criticisms on asphalt pavements , lately made bv an other paper in this city , I desire to otato the following facts : 1. Over six , hundred thousand square yards of the Trinidad sheet asphalt pave ment iu use for from one to * ten years in the cities of Boston , Now York , Phila delphia , Washington , Buffalo , Erie and elsewhere , prove most conclusively that the fear you express , that the marks which appear during n few hot days in Summer on the sides of streets freshly laid with asphalt , is groundless and that they will all disappear in a short time. It is no new thing for non-exports to be alarmed at this characteristic. Time will prove to you as it has proven to others , that these marks are temporary blemishes only. Proof of this in found in the fact you state that these marks are not visible in the center of the pavement. And yet the center of the pavement is exactly like the sides in every respect , as far as its composition in voncorncd. A little tratlic will leave marks in either place , these will disappear as the trallio increases and thus the pavement is constantly im proving for years. U. As to bonding for five yearn or more wo are ready to bond for any length of timo. You simply pay your money and take your choice. For ten years our price is 8U.50 per square yard. If you will pay us what Htone pavement will cost in Omaha , laid with first-class material , in first-class manner on a concrete base like ours , ( and the peculiar soil of Omaha will per mit of no firot-ulaps work without such a base ) , wo will guarantee our pavement for fifty years. 3. As to absolute perfection in a pave ment I do not expect to find it until I travel the golden streets of the Now Jerusalem , where all good paving men go. Meanwhile I maintain that for earthly use , no other pavement can compare with the smooth sheet asphalt properly laid on a solid concrete base , and for the following reasons : 1. ItTis a sanitary pavement , it has no joints into which offensive matter can settle , to return in noxious vapors Unit produce sickness. It promotes the health of the city. 2 , It is a noiseless pavement. It pro motes the comfort alike of people driving over it and of people in the shops , stores and ollices where it is laid. Sick people and invalids can ride over it when they cannot ride over Htone pavements. ! ! . It is an economical pavement us re gards the trallic over it , i. e. , the saving in wear and tear of vehicles is of incal culable advantage. The amount so saved annually would make an income sufficient to pay the interest on the cost of pave ments in any city , and create a sinking fund to redeem the principal. In view of this fact it would bo wiser to pay even more for this pavement than stone would cost , for that difference lias to be paid but once , while the difference in wear and tear of vehicles is a perpetually re peated one. 4. It is the cheapest pavement as re gards motive power. Two horses will , on it , do as much work bv hauling as heavy loads as five horses will do on stone blocks , if well laid , or seven if poorly laid. Rudolph Herring , president of the Engineer's club , of Philadelphia , is auth ority for this statement To sum up , in view of all these facts , and in view , also , of the fact that the available money to be spent in Omaha for paving will go further and afford a larger number of streets the advantage of a good pavement if expended in laying Hheot asphalt on a concrete foundation than if Hpcnt in laying any stone pay ment , it would seem that there is no room for reasonable people to hesi tate , As regards Hartley and Farimm streets they form no exceptions. The sheet pavement stands in Court street , Boston , wheio all thu express wagons re ceive and deliver their loads ; it i in Kirby street in the same city ; it is on Sixth street , Philadelphia , between Chest nut and Walnut , and on liroad street north of Columbia road. Everybody knows of it being on Penn sylvania avenue , Washington , the princi pal business street of two hundred thous and people. In till these places it lias proven successful after one to ten years use. Gen. M. C. Meigs recommended it for all the streets in Philadelphia. We are therefore quite ready to lay it on Har- icy and Farnant streets and guarantee it : ho same as the other. 1 am yours , very respectfully , AL. . 1t < vumu. : Tlio I'uvlnn Problem. At a meeting of the board of public woiks held on Saturday , bids were opened for the furnishing of necessary material to pave certain districts of this city , llids were received for Sheet ax | > tmlt on ( i year * Kiininnteo forl'J8 !

As far as the character of the asphalt .lavement . is concerned everybody can observe the same , at present , while it is laid upon our streets , and form his own judgment about it. Regarding the two iids ) the company puts in as to the price demanded by them for a five or ten yearn' guarantee , it ajipears that thu company icknouledges the fact that after a five years' use their product will need a re- [ iair of at least 52c per square yard , if the material should bo serviceable for another five years , and this only should they bo able to control the repairs of the streets themselves. It is reasonable to suppose that if only five years guaran tee is desired that after the expiration of that time the cost to keep the streets liaved with asphalt will amount to 81 or oven more per square yard , which would amount to 120 cents per square yard per year , or in fifteen years it would cost the amount paid for when originally laid down , or in twenty years it would reach the cost of granite- pavement , which does not need repairs for fifty years. The [ granite is no longer a paving material for trial , as thu same has , throughout the world , been announced as the only pav ing material fit for use. How admirably it works on Tenth street , notwithstand ing all climatic influences the contractor has encountered HO far , is too well known to need any further comment. In letting ting the contract for paving with granite no questions wore asked as to how long the guarantee for durability of that kind of material would bo given , iis it was too well understood by the city engineer and board of public works , that the guarantee was unlimited. The bids for sandstone were made by B. G. .Tonkinson , Esq. , for $ ! 1.40 per square yard , or broken stone and sand foundation , while the Hon. James Stephenson - onson made his bid for the stone at $ * i. ( > 0. The sandstone .proposed to be furnished is understood to bo Fort Collins , Colo. , sandstone. In this connection it would bo well to state that if the samples pre sented to the board of public works are on average product of the Fort Collins' quarries , it should be borne in mind that that class of sandstone is hardly fit for use in foundation walls of very common buildings. It will never stand the test of the specifications submitted by the board of public works , if such specifica tions are. enforced ; which calls for a sand stone of good quality , free from grain and texture , cracks and seams of every na ture. The samples submitted to the board by the above named gentlemen , which can be examined by ( no public , show the layers of stratification and lam ination , with a mixture of iron already in a state of decomposition. It would be unfair to suppose that the gentlemen commming the board of public works would hesitate a minute , while their abil ity to judge the quality of sandstone re quired for pavingpurpoacsis so wellknown , to accept material proposed to bo used on our public thoroughfares in accordance with samples submitted. In conclusion , it would be well to state that standstono of the quality proposed could not , under the most liberal con struction of thu specifications , be regard ed as a fit material for paving. J. S. 1 1 KAVYVKI 1I T8. An Accidental Mrotlni ; ol'Holld Men. A curious and entirely accidental moot ing took place at the breakfast table at the Millard hotel yesterday morning , which is worthy of note.

Inexorable death has again assailed our ranks , a most worthy member of our organization has boon snatched front us in the meridian of Ids manhood and usefulness , a veteran in the cause of humanity and liberty has boon called from his work ; therefore , HKSOLVKD , That while we bow with humble submission to thu will of God , who does all things for the best , wo can not help from expressing our sorrow at the irreparable lops sustained through the death of our late brother M. W. Kennedy , not only by his immediate rel atives and friends , nor by the E. M. A. , of which ho was a valued member , but by the entire community. Possessing the noblest qualities of mind and heart ho was always foremost in the ranks of Irishmen in their efforts to better the condition of their persecuted mother country ; generous to a fault and ov < Sr ready to forgive un enemy or help a friend , although gone from our midst lie will ever live in our memory as a man worthy of emulation , and entitled to es teem , respect and veneration.
