Julia was arrested on this side of the river

In the Issue of THE Br.n of October 8 there
was nti editorial touching upon the question
of public ftc-hool examinations , niul the view
wai taken that the causa of odiiu.itIon would
bo advanced , iind t\o \ ) pupils , teachers and
p.urous generally would bo batter satisfied
with the results , If the custom of grading
pupils In accordance with their dally recita
tlons. Instead of by examinations ut the end
of the term wcro adopted. The schools of
Council Hluff ; have been operated In accord
ance with thl * theory for nearly a year uast
nnd the results have been nil tl.at the
friends of the pl.in claimed In advance.
Superintendent Sawyer in his llrst annual
report , mailo three yours ago , suggested
that nxamlnitlotiH no done away with und
repented the suggestion ns often us ho con
veniently could , but It was not until the
commencement of tha second semester of
last year that the board saw through the
sinio kind of spectacles as ho and decided
to make the experiment. Prof. Sawyer was
seen yesterday und aslce.l for a statement ns
to thu affects of the chungn and replied ns
follows :
I'rof. rtnwj-or'H Viowt.
"Althnuirh the time bus been too limited
for ji satisfactory trial test , I bcllore that
the change has been satisfactory alike to
parents , teachers nnd pupils. To parents ,
because tin ) almost universal sentiment
among them Is that the written examination
is priceded by nervous strain and irrltubllltv
und followed by nervous prostration. To
toachcis , because the work of ratine pupils
Is evenly distributed throughout the year ,
nnd not forced upon them with high pres
sure ami confusion In the last days thereof.
To pupils , because a large majority of thorn
prefer to bo ptomoted on their dally work ,
realizing that this is fairer than the method
of busing everything upon DUO single exam
ination , of centering failure or promotion In
the answers to ten questions.
"So far as I have heard expressions of the
city teachers the universal sentiment is that
the character of dally recitations Is much
higher than under the old system. This is
natural. Under the written examination
si stem there Is little incentive to daily
work. Many pupils nro Indifferent to study
throughout the term. Knowing that uromo-
tlon will bo based solelv upon their answers
to certain questions , they reserve their en
ergies for the lust month of school , when
the cramming process begins. All this Is
avoided by a system of class records , as
pupils rcilt70 that they will bo promoted or
full , Just as their work every duy of the
year Is good or bad.
"This record system has many other ad
vantages over the written examination ns a
test for promotion. Ono of these udvantages
is thut it brings the teacher into closer
touch with her pupils , forcing upon them n
rcullzition that promotion rests with them
and-chcir teacher , not , with them , and thn
superintendent or principal. Hero in an in
centive to eood dally work. Another ad
vantage of the daily record system is that It
acts as a net to catch tho\ class of bright ,
quick pupils , known to every experienced
teacher , who , while i-.ircly looltingat a boolc ,
or recltin ? a satisfactory lesson , , are never
theless able to slip through the holes in the
examination not. The "dully record thus
promotes only the worthy.
"A third udvuntago of the record system
is that it gives all pupils In our schools n
standing , whereas , under the old system ,
only those wcro given a standing who ware
In school nnd examined. For example : A
lady , who , in January last , moved from
Council Bluffs to Chicago , wrote me , stutlnir
that her daughter requested her per cents
for the st holastlo year 1831MK ) , with a view
to entering the Chicago High school.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
though the young lady had been a pupil here
almost an entire term , she had no standing
because she had left school on account of
sickness two weeks before the close of the
semester. Under the present system it Is
possible to give the standing of any pupil
who has attended thn Council Blufls schools
ono wool : , ono month or ono year. At the
same time , It Is not to bo interred thai no
discrimination Is made between absentees
nnd regular attendants. Absence must bo
limited to a certain period of the whole timo.
or promotion docs not follow. The system
of records used In our schools is not compli
cated , but very simple and easily learned. "

The trial of Dutch Boynrton | and Dick '
Linden on the charge of highway robbery
was completed yesterday in the district
court and the case went to the Jury at the
close of the afternoon session. Cora Hoed ,
who tried to shield the two fellows on their
preliminary hearing , wus put upon the stand
and was found to hare met with u change of
heart , She seemed to bo as anxious
to convict them as she had been re
to gat them clear , After * uo id
told her story the attorneys for the defends
sprung a letter upon her which she wR4 s.ild
to have written ttovlngton while she was
In the county jail , shortly before she niadd
her escape. She nt once acknowledged writ-
InR It. The latter was probably the foulest
thine tint had ever been uncovered In n
criminal court In Pottawattamio's court
houso. Alonp with the mass of fllth wliK-h
it contained wcro several threats that she
would do nil she could to send them bath to
the penitentiary ns a means of revenue for
something they had done tint hurt her feel
ings. The defense wanted to wcnken her
testimony by moans of this letter , but after
the court had examined It , It was pronounced
too had for the young and Innocent juror * to
read , and It was not put in with the rcsf-of
the evidence.
At a Into hour last ntqht the jury was still
out. The c.tso of Lit Fleche-and Sliepard , the

of tlio Secretary of Acrlculturo on
the Urunco Vigorously Denounced ,
CmoAoo.Oct.lT. [ Special Telegram toTiE
BBC. ] At the general session of the congress
of agriculture today Colonel J. B , Brighum of
Ohio severely criticised the speech of Secretary -
rotary of Agriculture Morton the evening
previous. Secretary Morton said that
among the most dangerous and Insidious
foes that the American farmer had to con
tend with are the grantors' alliances. The
professional funnel- was always a menace 3i 3J
the practical farmer. Mr. Urigham said i
that the only excuse for such words coming
from the secretary ot agriculture was the
excuse of profound ignorance , besides which
the darkness of night was nothing. 11n
Every advance , every now Invention of farm
machinery , every experiment which bus
been helpful to the farmer , ho said , have
been promoted by the grange , and that If It
were not for the ernngo una the alliance thu
country would have no secretary of agricul
ture : Continuing his remarks , the speaker
said that agriculture w.is the grandest pro
fession In the world. If agriculture died ,
every Industry died. Ho said that no did
not want the Impression to go out thut the
farmers of this country were antagonizing
any ether interest. Those who hud conceived
the Idea thut the farmer's hands were raised
against those of every class or profession
made u grout mistake. He said U wus a
great fault of the farmers of this country
'
that they bad not more representatives In
the n-itloml congress. If it had a good mix
ture of farmers congress would do same
business , and do it lu quick order.
Ho also spoke on the equal advantages for
the boys and girls in the country. He suld ;
"Those farmer boys are the ones who are to
save the nation's life. The time will come
when the political corruption will spread
beyond thu city und beyond the state , and
when It does the tlmu will bo ut hand when
there will bo a great struggle between virtue
und vice , between right und wrong. It is
in this struggle that the country will turn
to tha bay who has beau broujhl up breath-
in * ; the pure air of heaven Those are the
boys who will save the nation.1
