10 WO PRACTICABLE SUBSTITUTE. EXAMINATIONS LIKELY TO CON TINUE IV SCHOOLS. The System May Hr Open In Critl ciitu, Siiperintrndrnl Ashmore Siyii, Bnt Substitute* Have Proved Failure* and Final Examinaliom Have Hern Found n Necessity In Pnblir School Systems—Ho Give* a •Variety of Hensons Showiiiß Why This Is So—Exam Inal lons \ro Made Quarterly in the Savannah Schools and the Pupils’ Status Is nnscd on the (ienersl Average—fnl. Mercer'* Opinion of the Examination Plan. In view of the fact that the final exam inations in all the schoo s are now in prepress the editorial in the Morning Js;ews raising the point whether ex aminations at the close of the school year furnish the best means of determining the proficiency of the pupil, brings to the front a question of interest to parents and Jteaehers, and doubtl-ss to the children as well. The question is not anew one. *nd haa been frequently discu'-od in edu cational circles, various substitutes for •he examination system having b-en sug gested, but without any determined con clusion being reached. President Mercer of the Board of Edu cation and Superintendent Ashmore were both asked about the matter yesterday. “In matters like I his,” said Col. Mercer, •‘the board is usually guided by its super intendent and any changes in the inter pal system of the schools are usually made upon his recommendation. The question whether examinations afford the roost satisfactory means of attaining the tdesired result has been much discussed in educational circles and various experi ments have been made, but so far as I am aware, without any satisfactory sub stitute being discovered. It is true that we some limes hear of children breaking down under the nervous strain of prepar ing for examinations, but such complaints are not frequent here, and I am disposed to think that in some instances they come from parents whose children are not as bright as they would like to have them appear and who anticipate on this account that they will not be able to pass the re quired examinations. Children doubtless complain to their parents of the severity of the examinations, but this is only nat ural, and the same children are likely to declare a week later thut the examina tions were very easy. I hardly think it likely that a movement to substitute some other system would meet with favor at present ” It is rarely the ease that Superintend nt Ashmore ip rot found well posted on any educational topic which may bo brought to his attention, and it was very evident that this particular question had already received serious consideration from him. “The question is one which has been tnuoh discussed at various times in edu rational circles.” said the superintendent, **snd leading educators have found much to say pro and oon on the subject. The system of final examinations lias been criticised by leading educators and efforts Slave been made to provide some satisfac tory' substitute. The plan most generally favored by those seeking a change was about as suggested in the Morning News— that the promotion of the pupil should de pend on the general average made throughout the year us taken daily, week ly and monthly by the teacher. This ■yatem was put into operation in some of the larger cities, notably in Cincinnati. (The resuits were decidedly' unsatisfactory nd especially to in Cincinnati, the school •ystem there becoming so badly and e moral - Ired that it was with great difficulty that it was again into satisfactory working order. The main trouble lay in the fact of the great difference in judg ment on the part of the teachers, and in their manner of making estimates. School tetchers, it must be remembered, are very fallible mortals. Not all of them are of the highest order of intellect and it is fre quently the case that very weak material irets into the schools. One of the main difficulties which haa been met with where this system has been tried is the very marked tendency on the p*rt of senool •eri&hera to the exercise of favoritism and prejudice. It was found to be not infre quently the case that teachers would pro mote Undesirable pupils in order to get rid of them without regard 10 their fitness. Again, It was found that with no exami nations confronting them there was a lack of stimulus to sustained effort, resulting a general laxnesa on the part of boiii teachers and pupils. While with a few teachers good results were doubtless ob tained the general results of this .\vsr*m have been proven to be decidedly unsatis factory/’ “I do not say,” said Mr. Ashmore, "that we would have the same experience with our teachers under such a system, but even with the strictest hotesty and fair ness exercised by the teachers, there would be such a difference in the man ner of making estimates of a pupil’s pro ficiency and so many errors of judgment honestly made that the satisfactory work ing of tho v gystem would be seriously in terfered with.” “Written examinations ore necessary In determining the status of the pupil under OUr system of education,” said Mr. Ash moYft. “Many errors which would pass Vnpoticed irt oral examinations are easily detected in manuscript. Among the rea son why examinations afe> required are •he following: V, as a basis of promotion; 2. for the information of the parents to the child’s progress and standing; 3, to enuty© the superintendent and school ta-Uthortties to Judge of the results of the methods used in the schools and to give a basis for comparative results; 4, U of ten reveals to the teachers themselves clo sets 1n own work, which they would sipt plfiertrise discover; 6, it furnishes a aumuiuj to the pupils who tend to be come indifferent when they find they are not called upon to fa<' examinations. The children need it. and, for that mat ter, so do the teachers.” ”The idea that the children nre called upon lo give a summary of all the knowl edge they have acquired, or w'ere expected to acquire during the year, and that to they must cram their brains with review’s of the work of the year, 15 entirely erroneous,” said Mr. Ashmort •’Thare are three examinations held during 4he year, one at the end of each quarter, eaoh preceded by reviews, and the exam ination now iik progress is little, if any, •nore difficult than the two which preceded it. The promotion of the pupil Is based not upon tlie percentage attain ed at the final examination, but Upon the general result, the av erage of the three examinations be ing taken. In addition to this the teach er* estimate of the pupil's ability is con sidered. It sometimes happen, though very’ rarely, that a child, through nervous ness nr some Wmself justice at the examinations. On this account the teacher is required to make an esiknaie of the pupil’* capacity and thvy are also cautioned to keep par ticular watch for such cus* Such **ve be*n found to be less than 1 per cent. A the total.” •'That the examination system is the one proven by experience," said .Mr. Ash more, ‘ is evident from the fact that such examinations are required in all the Fad ing educational institution of the coun try. No diploma can be obtained from any high educational institution until the examination tins first been passed. That the government has recognized the value and necessity of this eystem is proven |.y the fact that appointments and promotions , n >•* civil service system aro determined >y written examinations.

"Bacon., attributed to poisoning from the eating of toadstools for mushrooms, though since pronounced to be a mistake, has drawn the public attention to the subject and a short account of mushrooms And how to tell the edible from the pois onous variety may not be without intcr •est. Dr. W. 11. Elliott of this city, who has given the subject twenty years* study and Is an undoubted authority, says ns a primary fact that there is no reason for the popular classification of mushroom.-, thereby meaning the edible fungi, and toadstools, referring to the poisonous va riety. They are all mushrooms, lie said, and of the 800 or more varieties only one family, the Amanita, contains any that are deadly, though there are others that are not wholesome, and which, if eaten, will produce nausea and other unpl-as* ant effects. Not even all of the Amanita are poisonous; indeed, the greater num ber are not, for of the twenty or more va rieties only about eight are known to be deadly. One of the peculiarities of the mushroom family is that while it is of immense range and variety, there is only one spe cies that cam be cultivated. This is the Campestris, or the mushroom of com merce. It is cultivated extensively in France, and to some extent in this coun try. But here the supply is by no mean? equal to the demand and the Uampestrls finds a ready market in the chief Northern cities at $1 per pound, while in France the usual price is about one-eixth of that amount. Closely re lated to the Campcstrls, and by many authorities considered to be only a larger variety of the same species, is the horse mushroom, which is almost, if not equal ly as palatable as the lesser variety. To distinguish the deadly mushroom from the edible variety, said Dr. Elliott. is very simple, for all of the noxious members of the Amanita family have white gills, and a cup-like rim at the base of the stem; though some of the edible ones are similarly marked, it is the safest course to let all mushrooms with these characteristics alone, unless one Is quite well acquainted with the whole family. One of the most deadly of the Amanita is Agaricus imiscarius, or, as it is other wise known, the fly Amanita. It was with a poison secured from this species that the Italian poisoners of the Middle Ages dispatched many of their victims. Many varieties of both the edible and the poisonous mushrooms are to be found in this vicinity. One of the most com mon. which must be classed with the un wholesome ones, Is Morgan’s Eaplota, which grows quite abundantly Immedi ately after the spring and summer rains. It ran be recognized easily by the green spores with which it abounds. Another peculiar feature of the subject that is not generally known, is that the mushroom Itoelf is not really the. plant, but must be classed rather ne the fruit of slender white underground vine, w r hich is tho plant proper. Despite popular opinion to the contrary, there are but few cases of mushroom poisoning. When it does occur, however, the symptoms nre almost identical with those of Asiatic cholera, and are developed within about twelve hours after the pois on has been taken into the etomach; If not correctly treated, it proves fa tel In two or three days. The usual remedy for such cases is one sixtieth of a grain of sulphate ntropin administered hyper dermically every hour or two, until the strength of the pulse is maintained. Dr. Elliott, besides having already n large number of books on the subject of fungi, la looking forward with much pleasure to anew volume that will soon be issued by Oapt. Mdlvaine, entitled "Eight Hundred Mushrooms, and How to Cook Them.’* CAUSED MI OH INTEREST. ~ Announcement That Supt. C I#. Myers Had Resigned Ilia Position. The announcement In yesterday’s Morn ing News that C.

There seems to be no doubt that Air. Myers has resigned and that he is to re ceive the appointment predicted. The po sition he will be given is a very desir able one, and is in the nature of an ad vancement and a recognition of his worth and ability.

VFAII’- SI'ION FROM PAYING SS.OOO, Moore- Failed to Show I'p for Trin! and left His Surety in the Lurch. Ground* of Tropic's Suit to Pre vent the Sheriff From Selling; Him tint to Meet the Amount of tin* Bond—lawyer Slater's Armaments and Solicitor General Osborne’s Reply. Judge Falligant he ird argument yester day afternoon on the application of J. W. Teeple, for r.n injunction prohibiting ! the sheriff from levying a writ of execu ! tion, issuing upon the estreated and for feited bond of A. H. Moore, upon which Teeple was a surety. The arguments were made by Mr. "W. F. Slater, for the petitioner, and by Solic itor General W W. Osborne, on behalf of the state. T< epic was a surety on the bond for $3,000, given by Moore to answer his default in appearance in the Superior Court, to plead to the charge of forgery that bad beejn preferred against him, ami upon which an indictment had been found by tho grand jury. Moore did not turn up at the term of the court, to which the bond was made returnable, it was •estreated, and at the succeeding term, its forfeiture was made absolute. An execution was Issued on the bond and levied upon the surety's stock of fur niture. He gave a forthcoming bond to answer the final judgment of the court, and the stock was released. Mr. Slater is fighting the levy of the execution, on the ground that the forfeiture of the bond was not attended by the circumstances, and formalities that nre required by law. In the argument yesterday Mr. Slater contended that at the time the case against Moore was called and the bond estreated, there were not present to try the. case a full panel of forty-eight sworn jurors. It is a matter of fact that there were fifty-two jurors in court at the time, regularly drawn and summoned and com petent to try the case. It was argued by the solicitor general that the fact that some of these had not been sworn In as jurors was a matter of no materiality. It was further contended by Teeple’s counsel that the solicitor genral was not ut the time prepared to go on with the case, and could not have tried it had Moore been produced in court. To this the solicitor general answered that he r had announced ready on that ocas ion, and that the extent of his preparation was not a matter to which counsel could legitimately object, especially as he had no knowledge of it. Judge Falligant did not render an opin ion or decision at once, but took the case under advisement. His decision will be rendered as soon as he has had oppor tunity to examine the authorities and de termine the legal questions that the mat ter involves. NOT THE PROPER ACTION, Jiklkp Fn 11 Ignnt Held Trover Can not lie I'ned to Collect Debt. Judge Falligant rendered o decision yes terday morning in the case of Thomas 'Wickham, against J. M. Wilbon, in which he granted an injunction, restraining the defendant and the sheriffs of the. City Court and county, from enforcing an ac tion of bail in trover by the imprisonment of Wickham. The trouble between the men began In the latter part of last March. It originat ed in the division of tho money paid on a policy of insurance, which had been won in a fight in the City Court. Wilbon had sold Wickham a house, and the latte"?" had the house, insured. The insurance policy was made payable to G. W. Schro - der, w r ho had loaned some money on the house, and to Wickham. When the house burned. Wickham was refused payment by the company, and a suit had to be in stituted for the recovery of the amount of the policy. In the trial in the City Court, Wickham tetitifted that he was but slightly interest ed in its resqlt, as the larger share of the money was to go to Wilbon, to whom it was due. When the Supreme Court af firmed the decision of the lower court in favor of the plaintiff, and the check for the amount of the judgment was received, Mr. W. W. Osborne, who had represent ed Wickham, notified film and Wilbon to come to his office to divide the money. They came and n check for the amount was handed over to Wickham, he promis ing that he would pay Wilbon the amount clue him as soon ns he could have the check cashed. Instead of doing so he put the money in hit* pocket and gave Wilbon the laugh. Truly, ns Wilbon has since found out, the laugh was on him. lie knew very w'ell that he could not recover the money from Wickham by a. simple suit, so he tried the action - of bail in trover. As this action lies only for the recovery of some specific article. Judge Falligant de cided that it was not the proper remedy, and, therefore, granted an injunction pro hibiting an attempt to enforce it by Wickham’s imprisonment. Fo disgusted was Mr. Osborne with Wickham’s action in the matter that be refused to represent him further. The amount due by Wickham to Wilbon, which the latter thought he was going to collect, but didn’4, was somthing over SSOO. CATHEDRA!/* NEW 1‘ VSTOtt, lltiv. It. P.

The appointment whs an nounced by Bishop Keiley lust night. It Is one which will give general satisfac tion, not only because of Father Kenne dy’s eminent fitness for the position, but for tho further reason that he is a native of Savannah, and Bias hosts of friends here, who will take pleasure in his promo tion. Father Kennedy ihas been assistant un der tlie pastorate of Father Keiley for llio lasi three or four years, and is thorough ly familiar with the duties. The cordial relations which have existed between the new bishop and his new pastor, also con. tribute to make the appointment a suita ble one. It will be remembered that Fath er Kennedy was recently appointed chan cellor of the diocese, and lie now has a double proof of the confidence and esteem in which he is held by the Bishop. DR.

Theodore Eulenburg, better, or worse, known as “Red Hot," entered a plea of guilty in the City Court yesterday, to n charge of assaulting bis wife, and was sentenced by Judge Norwood to pay a tine of s'*> and costs, or spend six months in the county jail. Eulenburg accepted the lather alternative. The offense for which the man is to suffer the penalty of Imprisonment, was committed jusl outside the Police Court room of the city, where he lied been car ried to answer a charge of disorderly con duct, preferred against him by Ids wife. Angered by this seeming disregard of her duty, in charging him with anything, no matter what he had done, Eulenburg struck the woman just outside of the room, in which the Recorder was holding hi.s diurnal session. He was turned over to the City Court on thin charge, and Judge Norwood has done the rest. Henry Black was found guilty of cheat ing and swindling Mr. \V. T. Lynch out of (he sum of $8.30. Judge Norwood sen tenced him lo the payment of a fine of S2O, with six months on the gang In the alternative. Sam Powell was shown to have curried a concealed weapon, contra ry to the law of the state, and despite Judge Norwood’s frequent and severe an imadversions upon this practice. He got six months on the gang. Alice Small had been presented by the solicitor general for larceny from the house. The evidence, undisputed almost, was to the effect that Alice had entered (he room of another woman, and had made off with a small sum of money, a railroad ticket, and a suit of clothes. Judge Norwood gave her her choice of paying a fine of S2O, or serving nine months on the chaingang of the county. Dave Hamilton, attracted by the glitter of a pair of diamond cuff buttons that his employer, Mr. H. H. Cohen, wa/5 ac cust med t wear, transferred them to his own pocket. Judge Norwood directed that he be transferred from the jail, where he has been spending some days, io the chain gang, where he will the next year. Edith Green got six months for cheating and swindling. Edith first stole a sewing machine from H. J. Pursley, and then pawned it to S. Bluesstein, representing herself as its true and rightful owner. It was for the laiter offense she was tried and found guilty. Richard Riley, a 15-year-old colored boy. was charged with the larceny of $3 in money from the house of Mr. J. B. Jones, at Pooler. Despite his youth the charac ter of the little negro did not show up well under the light of the evidence that was thrown upon it. and Judge- Norwood found him guilty. On account of his youth, probably, (he court reduced the usual sen tence in such cases one month and fur nished Richard with board and lodging, at the county’s expense, for the next elev en. S. Jones was found guilty of purloining $2.25 in money from the house of Hettie Spaulding. He had his choice of paying a fine of S2O or serving the county tix months, and necessity drove him to ac cepting the latter part of the sentence. Kate Aiken and Tom Young, two escaped convlcfk. had additions made to the terms they were serving when they took French leave of the county forces. TYIIEE OFFICE A ROM SHED. People on the Island Likely to Re Without Postal Facilities Soon. The people of Tybee are in a very fair way to be without postoffice facilities at an early date. An order has been issued by the postal depariment abolishing the office, to take effect June 30. The post master is directed to turn over all gov ernment property and postal supplies to the postmaster at Savannah. The order was quite a surprise to Post master Wortham and the authorities of Tybee as well as the residents there. It came like a thunderclap out of a clear sky and they were at a loss to understand it. After searching around for a cause they concluded (hat it was due to a re cent inspection of the office by Inspector O’Brien. Postmaster Wortham was not feeling in the best of humor that day, it appears, and his answers to the queries of the inspector were unsatisfactory, nor was the inspector treated with tho defer ence which is considered to be due from fourth class postmasters to postofflee in spectors. The result was a recommendation by the inspector for the abolishing of the of fice, which recommendation appears to have been promptly complied with. Mayor Butler and other leading citizens of the 'own arc seeking to have this action re scinded, and the order recalled before the lime named for its going into effect ar rives. They have called upon Congress man L 3 strr for his assistance, and have also addressed petitions to the depart ment direct. “It is an out rage,” said Mayor Butler yesterday. “With 300 soldiers at Fort Screven, a large number of summer reai d nls and many guests at the Hotel, the postoflice is a necessity. It probably does as large a business as any fourch class po-toflice in the state, and is a great con venience. I h* ard that there was some ef fort being made to secure anoiher post master, but 1 had no suspicion whatever of any move to abolish the office.” With the matter properly laid before the del artment the order doing away with the Tyboe office will doubtless be withdrawn It is undoubtedly true that there ate hun dreds of post offices in this section of the country, which do not rfach anywhere near the number of people that the Tybee office does. NOT IN TWENTY HOURS. The .Jury In Cne Against Jasper Holmes (mild Not Agree. After being out more than twenty hours, Iho Superior Court jury that had been engaged In an effort to reach an agreement ns to the guilt or innocence of Jasper Holmes, one of the men placed on trial for taking oysters from the leased beds of Capt. Gus Oemler, reported yesterday morning that they had boon unable lo agree, (he foreman of (he jury' was withdrawn and a mistrial declared. Lewis* Fraser, who had been indicted for the same offense and placed on trial v.’itli practically the same evidence against him, was found guilty by the Jury that tried his case, without trouble and after brief deliberation. Fraser was sentenced by Judge Falligant yesterday morning to pay a fine of SSO and the costs of the prosocutlon, or In lieu of the payment of the tine to serve six months on the county chalngang. The jure In the Holmes case stood six for acquittal to six for conviction from the time it retired to its room for con imitation. There was argument intermin able and )'allots Innumerable, but noth ing could change the fixed opinion of •he Jurymen, and when they filed Into the court room, after tlielr long session, they siood just where they had stood from the beginning. The results of the two eases against the oysterrnen that have been tried Illus trates the different effects that the same evidence will produce upon the minds of different men. The evidence was the same, yet in the one case an agreement was reached within a few minutes, while in the other twenty hours or more failed to accomplish this result. Messrs. W. P.

Tho annual convention of the Clerks, Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police and Marshals’ Association of the State of Georgia will be held at Tybee. on July 11, 12 and 13. The sessions of the eonventiou will be held at Hotel Tybee. It Is expected that fifty or more mem bers of the association, some of them with their wives and families, will attend the convention, and the local members have in arrangement a pleasing programme for their entertainment. The programme will probably include an address of welcome by the Mayor or some member of the City Council, and possibly a dinner at the Ho tel Tybee. The details have not yet been arranged. The invitation to hold the convention of this year at Tybee was extended by Mr. James K. P. Carr, clerk of the Superior Court of Chatham county, at the last con vention, which was held in Macon. Tybee was selected in competition with several other points by a vote that was practical ly unanimous. The present officers of the association are as follow’s; President—C. Dampier. First Vice President—J. O. McArthur. Second Vice President—Arnold Broyles. Secretary and Treasurer—C. A. Powell. Sergeant-at-Arms—John Seay. The officers of the association hold of fice for one year and successors to those chosen last year will be elected at the Tybee convention. I* is probable that several members of the board will be selected to succeed themselves. At the conventions of the association are discussed many matters affecting the administration of the criminal law’s of tle state and plans are suggested by which they may be so amended as more efficiently to prevent the commission of crime. A number of bills have been in troduced in the state Legislature and en acted into law which are founded upon suggestions made at these gatherings of the Clerks, Sheriffs.

General Manager Lofton of the Savan nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope and City and Suburban Railways announces a new daily and Sunday schedule for all the suburban resorts reached by these lines. The new schedule is an improvement on anything of the kind heretofore offered by the street railways and the people will doubtless show their appreciation by pa tronizing the lines accordingly. It will be a good idea for the patrons to cut the schedule out or to carry a copy of the Morning News in their pockets. Commencing to-morrow there will be cars to and from Isle of Hope by way of Tenth street every half hour from 2 o'clock to 7:30 o'clock, and every hour after that until 10:30 from the city, and 11 o’clock from Isle of Hope. Besides this there will be several morning trains. Isle of Hope can also be reached by way of Bol ton street by cars leaving at 8 a. m. and every hour from 2:30 to 7:30 in the after noon. A similar schedule is given re turning from Isle of Hope by way of Thunderbolt. ’lhe daily, except Sunday, schedule to Isle of Hope provides for cars leaving Tenth street at 6:30, 7:30, 8:30 and 10:30 a. m., 12 noon, and hourly, on the half hour, from 2:30 to 10:30 p. m. Cars leave Bolton street for Isle of Hope at 9:15 a. m. and 1:15 p. m. The return schedule provides for cars leaving Isle of Hope for Tenth street, at 6, 7. 8, 10, and 11:30 o’clock a. m., and leaving on the hour from 2 o’clock, until 11 o’clock p. m. Cars will leave Isle of Hope for Bolton street, at 6 and 11 a. m., and 2:40 p. m. The daily Montgomery schedule is 8:30 a. m., and 2:30 and 6:30 p. m., from Tenth street, leaving Montgomery at 7:15 a. m.. and 1:15 and 6 p. m. Sundays four cars will be run each way to Montgomery. Cars will be run from Thunderbolt to Isle of Hope at intervals of one hour, from 3 o'clock to 8 o’clock, and from Isle of Hope to Thunderbolt at the same inter vals, from 3:30 to 8:30, Sundays. The Thunderbolt Sunday schedule is all that could be asked.
