Sensation at the Academy of Music—
Sheriff's Officers In the Green Room.
The entertainment at the Academy of
Music was slightly interrupted last even
ing by the appearance of the Sheriff's
officers in the green , room, a few
moments before the curtain rose. It ap
pears that the agent of the Susan Galton
Opera Troupe made a contract with Mr.
Canning, Manager of the Opera House,
engaging to play the company at the .
Opera House on the week commencing
February Bth, which contract PM not
fulfilled, and Mr. Canning, claiming to
have sustained damage by the violation
of the same, brought an action of tress
pass on the case in the Common Pleas
Court against the several parties com
posing the company. A summons was
Issued, and it was for the purpose ofserv
ing it that the Sheriff's officers visited
thee green room. •
Why the summons was not served on
the parties at the hotel, or why its ser
vice was not postponed until this morn
ing, we are unable to say, but we think
either would have been preferable, as it
was merely, the service of a civil writ,
and the officer knew that the troupe did
not intend to leave the city until after
this evening. • ,
The interruption was not, however, at
tended with any serious consequences,ait
the entertainment went on as if nothing
had occurred. Messrs. McCullough and
Taylor, attorneys for the Galtons,
present, it appear ti, and accepted service'
on the writ, thereby avoiding the delay
of serving it on each of tne parties.
Little Girl Run Over.

Mary Robtarger, a little , girl aged about
'five years, residing with her parents'
near the Sligo nails, Monongahela bor
ough,- was run over by a wagon . in South
Pittsburgh and very severely injured.
The child attempted to cross the street
in front of the wagon, - which was being
driven along at an ordinary rate ofspeed,
when she' was knocked down by the,
front wheel which passed over her
breast, inflicting Injuries which may
prove fatal. She was picked up and
taken into a house in the vicinity, where
she received medical attention, after
which she was taken home. Sho was
somewhat better yesterday evening, but
the physician entertains slight hopes of
her recovery. The driver of the vehicle,
it is said,, was not to blame, as the little
victiva was not noticed by him until the
wheel had passed 'over her. We could
not ascertain his name. -

On Monday evening Leo Fence, John

The report was received.
On motion of Mr. Getty, the Secretary

ferred to, that they must be at the school
building at half-past eight o'clock.
REPORT OF THE CITY BIIPERINTENEENT
-CONDITION OF 'THE PUBLIC'HOHOOLS
-STATISTICS, &O. •
The Secretary read a report film the
City Superintendent, S. G. Lucky,.Efiq.,
as follows:
GENTLEMEN: Having nearly complet
ed my tour of inspection of the Public
Schools of the city, I desire to submit to
your body a somewhat extended report
of my - visits, and I do so with a desire
that the Directors may become more in
.terested in the prosperity and success of
our schools.
SCHOOL ACCOMODATIONS. •
As far as my knowledge goes, no city
in the 'United States ismetter supplied
with' substantial and comfortable build
ings for, school purposes than our own,
most of 'which are well supplied with
approved furniture. ,The only districts
that are yet without proper school ac
commodations are now engaged in the
erection of large and commodious build
ings.' ,
I am sorry to state that most of' the
schools are poorly supplied with maps,
globes and school apparatus, without
,which much of the teaching is ineffectual.
Considerable good has been done by
the - introduction of plain drawing cards
into many of the Primary rooms, and it
is to he hoped that each Local Board will
take steps for their general adoption
throughout the city.
SCHOOL GRADES,
Since the new grade was established by
the Board, the different schools are grad
ually approaching a uniform stanftrd,
and in the studyof arithmetio it has been
- nearly attained. At the beginning of
the year but little interest was manifest
,ed on thesubject of reading, and in many
of our schools it was almost entirely neg
lected, but during the last few months
much concern has been shown on the
subject and our teacheis are giving , it
ninth-extra attention, and - I - sincerely
hope that by the end of the. present
school year no school in the city will law
in this moat important branch of study.
In the study of geography, I find that
too much attention is given to the study'
of, foreign lands, to the almost entire • exp
elusion of our own country, but this
plan is gradually giving place to a more
practical work.
. A free circulating of. teachers, one with
another in attending frequently teachers'
meetings, and in visiting other schools,
would have a good tendency In enabling
them to extricate themselves from the
deep ruts of form in which,•'perhaps, they
have been travelling for years.
'SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.
The deportment of pupils in our public
schools is certainly commendable, and in
the Intel mediate and Grammar Depart
ments it is most excellent, and only_in
the Primary Departments have I ay
suggestions to make on the subject. The
pupils in this Department are not of that
age or advancement to be interested in
their studies, and teachers have a very
difficult task indeed to keep within
proper bounds these busy, pushing, ac
tive' untrained • intellects. Only a very
few teachers are endowed by nature with.
the faculty of governing the very young,
and many of our primary teachers find
themselves baffled at every corner In
their efforts to keep in proper subjection
their youthful subjects, and without
stopping to inquire the best methods of
securing obedience, they adopt the rod as
being attended with less thought 'and
study.
As an evidence of the statement that
the primary depaitnients are too much
governed by force, I submit ,the follow
ing from the February reports:
Total number of punishments 294
Number in Primary Deßirtment.:
I have made the above remarks in or
der to nonce the thoughtful attention of
parties interested in this subject.
I am noVadyocatitig the total abolition
of corporal punishment in the public
schools, but I am anxious that something
should be done to throw a proper; re
straint around those having in charge
the very young pupils in our schools.
THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
The success of this school has exceeded
My highest expectations, and the pro
gress of the pupils, to say nothing of the
benefits derived y the pupils of the Nor
mal School, speaks very highly for the
plan adopted at its organization.
1111111 SCHOOL-CLASSICAL DEPARTMiENT.
Never bitfore was the attendance so
large or the interest so great, and its
steadily increasing prosperity is a matter
of pride to its many friends. The addi
tion of another teacher has been of great
value to the departmen. When the
school is removed into a building suita
ble to its wants, I feel assured it will not
disappoint the highest expe3tations ef
our people.
NORMAN. DEPARTMENT.
The Normal School 'has :tatadily in-
Creased in numbers and efficiency-Alb.*

in our city, It should be a matter of
pride to our citizens that it occupies such
a prominent place in public hivor, in. so
