CALLING TUK CALENDAR, To the Kditor of The Chieage Tribune Curcago, March 18,—I desire to call your at- tontion, and that of the legal profession (if the intter ie at all necessary), to tho mannor of call- ing tho trial dalendar or docket in the United States Clreult Court in this city, in the hopo that something may Le done to correct a grow- ing abuao,—ono which has becomo burdensome aliko to lamyers and suitors, There socms to bea rule inthe court above mentioned, of sotting dowu for trial tionty cases per day,on the ‘call calendar,” and to Koop adding or aceumutating tho call” at that rate until tho aud of the calondor is reached, al- thongh, during tho timo this is dono, not moro than one case may have boon tried. To itlts- trate: Tho March term of tho Clreuit Court oponed March 1, snd case No. 1was rondy for trla}, and tho triat of tuat case occupied ten days, Moanwhile, tho Law Bullelin daily announced a steadily increasing nom- ber of caaxs which would bo called on given datos, Thus ou the 8th it was announced that enson HUmberat to G0 would be called on that day; on the 9th casos numberod to 110; on tho th to No. 120; all this time No. 1 was was still on trinl, but from fifty to sovonty-five lowyera dally appeared ready to try their cases, anuonncod to be called for trialon givon days, and wero necossarily disappointed, ‘Tha romuit of this system js an enormous loss of timo by lawyors and olianta in attonding court dav after day and weok after week in tho vain expectation of obtaining n hearing. It scoma strange that twouty canes or moro por day should bo added tothe number already po- hind, whon the presiding Judgo must know that no etch numbor could bo triod in a single day, oven If ho wore not bebind ono or more months on the **call,” To charactorize this manner of proceeding o8 ashitsany in the extreme is to putit mildly in- foed. Of course, tho Court may say to members of tho Bar, “1f you know it is highly improbable No, 106 will bo ronched on » givon day, whon No. 1 is on trial, why come to court at all?” I anawor, what benefit can there sccruo to any ono by annouucing that preposterous num- bor of cases ahead, and thua placa a proportion— ato number of lawyers and clients on tho anzious seat? For on tho anxious goat thoy arc. It can hardly be pronumed that each lawyer knows all about overy case on tho caloniler, and how many will bo tried; nor whethor lawyers who haya cases shond of his will bo on the watch, Ho is thereforo bound, at bis peril, to bo on hand when his cago is called, Suppose tho call on a given day should bo Asnounced ss to 100, with No. on trial, sppareotiy for the day, but thot caso should come to a sudden close at 2 p, m. ‘Tho Court (although not five lawyers may bo. prosont) proceeda to call tho cascad set for the day, and now you are in danger of having your cage dfumiesed or # snap judgment obtained against you, according ox you aro for the plaintift ordofondant, Aud suppose by guod chanca you oro there, but your cliont is not, you having in- formed him that his cauo is not likely to bo called on that day? It will nat do, in case you are Ao ovor-reached, to hand in your little atfidavit giving tho reason of your noglect to prosocute or defond. Should you do so, you would got no rollof, but, on the contrary, would bo informed by Eis Honor that be cannot wait on lawyers—thoy should bo resont whon thoir casos are called, and thua a jawyor who may haye besn on tha look-out for days and weoks tnay aftor all fall to gota trial, Now, tho average number of cases tried por dey during. the torm «oos not oxceed four, Would it, thorefore, bo unreasonable to ask Ilia Honor to fix the call at that numbor por day, and. not unnounce any call for days on which ho would be unable to take up now casos by reason ofa pending trial? Such ncourae as this would save on {ucalenlahto amount of timo aud rorry, and, I think, would bo ominently satisfactory to the Bar, and would yot not dulay the Court in disposing of tho calendar, Cousex. GUNMAN IN THY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Yo the Edvor of The Chicago Tribune: Cmicaco, March 18,—Permit mo to use Tae Tripune as a medium for suggesting to tho Bosrd of Education what I concolyo,to ba a now and somowhat improved plan for tho study of Gormen and other modorn languages in our public achools,—a plan which, becauso not ox- tromo In its requirements, may uatisty thoso who think that tho stady of a foreign language in our English-speaking schools is contrary to tho gonius and spirit of our inetitutlons, and those on tho other hand, who maintain that tho presonce of #o many Gerinans among us renders it necessary for purpowcs of commercial intor- course that a knowledge of Gorman should bo Generally diffused. Tho complote and thorough study of Gorman, or any othor language oxcopt English, is an accomplishment which tho public cannot afford to conduct at its own exponue; but when the thorough study of Gorman is de- wired by any considerablo number of pupils # teachor of that language might be employed, and tho actual cout of that tuition assessed! upon individual! pupila. if scholars cannot afford t y oven cost for such tuition, Ict thom abandon ho Inxucy, or walt uattl they can procuro tuition outside the schools. This much, however, tho public can and should do, namely, teach ovory child that enters the public schools tha correct pronunclatiou of the Germau language, Ever; ‘one knows that the most difioult thing the adult hos to evcounter in loarning ® new langungo is ita correct pronunciation, Woro this acquired in childhood, all tho rest would bo easy: in after yours and tho study of & Isnguage might be oken up st any. timo tn Ifo with comparative success. Jisif-a-cozeu lessous would enable the primary scholar to learn tho Gorman alphabot and read easy sentences, ‘She alphabot and {ts ronuuciation learned, # permancut foundation a4 been ostablishod, upon which tho in- dividual may ut any future time build a more porfect knowledge of the Inuguage, The elo- ments of half-a-dozen modern languages might thus yory easily aud profitably be taught at the expense of tho State, while the further prneccns tion of those languages might and should, like o collegiate out jon, be left to individual ability and inclination, MLC.
