Hho le.ivos It for us to conjecture. Perhaps

Uio schools were lutiogradmg , thnt the
women weio very deficient in their miimiro-
rnont , and ho called upon Iho board of educa
tion In the intoioitsof Iho schools to plaeo
them under the charge of men. Or perhaps
it was the citj of Columbus , O where ac-
coiding to the same repoil , the bn.ml of edu

Ho dooi this rn such u vvav as oftoulimes to

OMAHA , Neb. , April JJ9. To the Kditor of
TUB BFK : In a recent issue of Tin : SI-M > vv
Bi'E nn article ou "Women as Principals" ap
peared , signed "Pedagogue. "
Perhaps jou will Mildly permit another
pedagogue w ho Is not a principal and never
uspiros to a principalship lo reply loa certain
pot lion of his article.
First , If I remember concctlj' , but ono
gentleman wns emplojod as principal when
Mr James came lo Omaha , so il can baldly
bo said thnt ho originated Ihn cuslomof em
ploying women. Again it wus spoken of ns
entirely snfo for him to advocate women as
principals , for none would dare to ndvoc.ilo
u woman's claim on Iho position vMiich ho
holds The gentleman must have forgotten
that ladies huvo held such positions.
In Portlnud , n lypicalweslorn lovvn , n ladv
wus mudo supeimlemlonl , who nt the
time she accepted the plnce was of
fered n professorship in n college.
It is Mid Indeed lo think of dopailinp from
ino wn.ys of our good forefathers , who be
lieved the stocks nocessnrj in every well
regulated community , nnd wo quito .sigh for
Iho lime of ducking stools nnd public Hog
gings. These things nil seem to belong to a
period when corporal punishment was in
vogue in schools , where brains and tact and
self control vveio as nothing compmed to
phvsicnl strenglh.
Tlio children vv hich nre confldixl to the care

Fi omone of the eastern cities comes a j early
reK | > rt w hich mentions that lis.OOO cases of cor
poial punishment huvo occuiied. Then of
course lb,000 llngranl oflensos muslhnvobeon
committed under this sliong government. I
had supposed n strong government was ono
under which the least possible wrong doing
occurred. Kusstu , which I should think
would seem un ideal government to our
iriend the Pedugogue , tlies to crush out de-
llnnco to Its go\eminent by killing or exiling
or cgnliscating the propoitj of rls insubordi-

nihilism
How lilllo Iroublo of Ibis Itind in Iho
United Slates1 All her citl/ons feel n shato
of responsllillitj in her government. They

The ideal school government would bo re
publican in form , with the boaid for Iho
legislature , the teacher for the executive ,
and a wise publio sentiment for the Judicial
power. Tlio cburgo is brought that the luck
of phjslcnl discipline nmkeii boys ctTcminnto ,

Ono would think that n government which

which oflen by ils cnielty developed either
physical cowurdieo or bitu-r resentment
ngnlnst unjust measures would train up
crlmlnnls und nlhilisls. If the oxpcrimonl
would not bo too hard upon Iho children , It
would bo rare amusement lo have one of our
moil enicicnt womaitlv principals step down
and let this disappointed , evidently iinom-
plojcd pedagogue Irv to lake her place. It
would rcmiind ono of thai ancient classic talc

The Catholic priests who nro at work civ-

Hov. Thomas Jackson , Prefect Apostolic of
North Boinoo , who is now in this crfuntry

The priests Induced the chief of ono of the
wildest tribes to let thorn tnko his son to ono

two months Ono dav the chief and alibis
big warriors came sailing down the river In
their canoes They were heavily ormed and
called loudly for the boy. Ono of the priests
came out of the school and said to the chief :
"Tho boy is all light and in line health. "
"Wo must boo him , " said the chief.
The bov came out. The father looked dis
appointed. "Your skin Is not white , " he
said.
said."Oh
"Oh , my. " said the priest , "How can nny
ono get white in this broiling sun I"
"Liut jou said jou would make him like
youisolf , " said the chief
"Wo did say that , " replied the pi lest , "but
wo meant intelligent like ourselves , not
white "
The chief looked pulled , nnd then called
the hey to him. "When is It going to ruin
next tlmi'1 asked the chief.
The young man shook his head. The chief
looked disuleased
"What will bo the size of the nco crop no\t

ster shook his head.
" Wo have lost our great aw ord in the w oed ,
wo tmvoseaiched overj'whero for it but can
not llnd it Where is the sword ! " The boj'
shook nls head the third time.
Turning to the pi lest the chief said nngri'y ' :
"You promised lies. The boy Is no more In-
tellicent than ho was when jou got him. "
And taking the lad bv the shoulderho walked

The national conference of charities and

unnual meeting , to bo held in Indianapolis
from the liltlr to the 20th of Mnj' , and since
Indianapolis Is a city peculiarly awake to

MeCulloeh , the president of the coining con
ference , is provident of the organised chari
ties of the city as well ns pastor of ono of its
prominent churches , the conference is likclj-
to be a notable one , says the Century Maga
zine
It will doubtless surprise our leaders to bo
told that a largo number of them are in all
probability members ox ofllcio of this confer
ence. There are , Indeed , few intelligent men
and women ol our day who nro not connected
with some charitable or refoimatorj1 or other
philanthropic institution as managers or
trustees or members of committees , or who
nro not attivo woikors in some organl/ed
foimof benevolence , and all such , though
they bo ns little aw are of ItasM .lout-dam
that ho was talking prose , are in fact entitled
to a seat In this contercnco and to \oico in

That the proceedings of such a body as this

the adequate lovcnuo of the association , Is a
sufficient proof of the standing and ability
of those who tuku part In these mietincs.
The gieat task of the sociological reformer
is to oiluc ate public opinion and to inform the
public mind. As Ulshop Olllcsplo said at ono
of tlioso confeicnces , "Publio abuses do not

that public abuses do exist in such largo num
