PAID ME DEPARTMENT.
Mr. Mbgraw, from thqi Committee on

GENTLEMEN: Your Committee OwFire
Engines respectfully report -that they
have carefully considered the resolution
relating to the propriety of organizing a
paid fire department in the city, and Have
no hesitation in reporting that as thq
only proper plan.
The advantages or a paid fire depart
ment are so manifest as to require little
if any argument at our hands. The im
munity from blackmailing operations
which this system guarantees, is itself
worth more than the additional cost re
quired to maintain it, while the risks are
less every way. To give your, honorable
bodies some data,your Committee went to
considerable trouble to ascertain the
cost, and herewith report: That provided
the Companies, as at present constituted,
were put on a paid basis; paying salaries
to a sufficient complement of men' for
each apparatus, the entire cost to the
oily would reach twenty-five thousand,
dollars. This is exclusive of wear and
tear. The actual running % expenses• of
the Department, as reported by Chief,
Engineer Crow, for last year foot
up to §13,676.87. The difference in the
cost of partial Paid' System is about
§ll,OOO.
Your Committee offer the following
resolution :
Resolved, That the Committee on Fire
Engines and Hose be, and are hereby
Instructed to report an ordinance pro
viding for the organisation of a Paid Fire
Department, and report_as soon; as prac
ticable.
The report liras accepted. :< •

thought it would'' - ,be wise to defer the
matter until some or,these Were relieved.
Mr. Grenet - Mid the CoMmittee had
presented the matter , in this shape to
Councils in order to discover the,feeling
in the case, put thereby rediviinstt e no.
tions. . .
Mr. Long tbonght the proper time to
discuss the matter would be when the
ordinance was reported.
Mr. liana said he understood thsitlbe

casioned some discussion in the Central
Board, and the subject may now be con
sidered an open question, whether or not
corporal punishment should be contin
ued in the schools . ? For the present I
will pass the local question and consider
the subject in its general bearings. -
The first school of which we have any
account was established In the Garden of
Eden,—on the ~K inder- .Garten" plan,
with the Creator as teacher and Adam
and Eve for scholars. In those days,
when the scholars were limited, books
were not published—and there were, of
coarse, no Wilson's Illustrated Readers.
The lessons were afteethe modern style
'of ?'object teaching." The scholars being
pieced in a beautiful and attractive gar
den with no cruel directors to impose
restraints on the Teacher, and to enforce
barbarous treatment of His pupils, He
was left in freedom to adopt merciful
mike and to manage His school in a hu
mine and civilized manner. As the
children were orphans, or had no living
parents, the Master could hive adopted
severe rules without fear of complaint;
but being of tender heart- and rational
mind, He could govern by none but true
anil just principles. He accordingly se
leeted the most beautiful spot on the face
of 'the earth, planted It with noble groves
of shade and fruit trees, redolent with
flowers, musical with birds and babbling
brooks, and animated with flocks and
herds of useful animals.
Adam's first less& was naming the an
imals and living things, and Eve's no
donbt was naming the flowers and beau
tiful objects that surrounded - them.
Their conduct must have been very good
—No. I, for their Xaster was so much
pleased with them that he gave them .a
clear title to the ground, and included all
the . animals and improvements. But
amongst the trees inhe middle of the
garden the Master ha d planted one, dif
fering from all the rest, possessed of ma
gi Cal powers. This tree they were com
manded not to tench, nor taste of the
fruit, or if they did they would surely
die! But how Were they to know the
meaning of the word "die" when
they had no dictionary, and had
never seen a dead person, or any
dead thing? So one day when
Adam was dressing his shrubbery the
Serpent beguiled Eve, and she disobeyed
this Master's commands; and afterwards
pursuaded Adam to _eat the fruit- also.
The Master soon afterwards came along,
and fonnd'Hisscholara hiding from Him,
and suspected that they had disobeyed,
and when He accused them they did not
deny‘or lie about it, but "owned up."
Some masters would have raised a "row,"
and giveh them a terrible welting, or
enforced the "death penalty," but He
didn't do either. But after giving them
some good advice turned them otit—
"expelled" them—and then set them up
in!the dry goods and clothing business.
Their, stock in trade consisted
H of aprons. -
They got along prosperously for a
while, (though they could have had but
few customers,) until from some cause,
not stati3d in the history, they must hare
had 'a terrible quarrel, for between them
flay managed to "raise Cain."
After that they made peace and lived
happy, and in the course of domestic
events Abel came along and joined the
school. Now, it seems that he was a fa
vorite with the Master, and that in those
days they made presents to him. Cain
was in the fruit business, and Abel raised
cattle. It naturally followed that Abel
made his present from his flocks: and
Cain from his choicest fruits. The his
tory further states that Abel's present of
meat was the more acceptable, leaving
us . to Infer that the Master was not a
strict "vegetarian." This partiality shown
for Abel raised the devil'in Cain, and as
soon as they got off by themselves, he
gave Abel a most unmerciful flogging.
The fact stated, is, that he whipped the very
life out of Abel. You see he had no ex
perience, and didn't know when to atop!
Imagination must supply the particulars
of the circumstances.
This is the first instance tf that kind of
punishment on record. li, t the Master
soon came a ft er Cain With a "sharp
stick," and as a reward • for hie wicked
conduct- gage him a "mark," and sent.
him traveling to foreign countries. We
have here the first record of '"marks"
being given for conduct, and the second
instance of "expulsion." • -
From thia history it seems that the
first Great Master used kind treatment,
evento, '
his disobedient scholars, and dis
cOuntenaneed Cain's , ' corporal punish
mfent inflicted on Abel.
Let the teachers of the present day,
acid those especially in ourpublicachoola,
snbstitute some kinder method of gov
ernment than that now n common prac
tice: "Use the sugar plum instead -of
the rod," as
.Beecher says, and it will
not be long until they and r the commit
nity, children included, will be happier
and better satisfied with the "waye'of
the world.". , •
