Miss Nina Willard, as the wayward and

amusingly affectionate. E. B. Fitz, as Si

on a Pittsburg stage for years. He is im

as the prefklent Dan Gilhoo'y, strikes
the lovers of fun in the true rollicking
style of the wild Irishman. KathrynWeb

Piattsmouth.
What is more beautiful than Piatts
mouth, situated as she is, among valleys
and hills, with the old Missouri rolling
down in all her splendor to the east, while
to the north the Platte steals silently
along until she reaches the Big Muddy to
swell her tide? Then again her draws
and ravines running in various directions
are pleasing to the eye. Scattered proinis
cously here and there are many beautiful
trees. The hills sloping toward all points
decked with cottages and mansions. Let
the searcher of beauty ascend the hill to
the high school buildidg and from there
behold the elegance of the surrounding
country. The picturesque scenery off to
the southwest to be appreciated must be
seen, especially the past few days while
the trees were -hanging with sparkling
particles of frost. Then go with us to
the river bank and peer north, south and
cast and behold the grandeur of all fair
nature. . i

IIIOH SCHOOL NOTES.
Prof. Drummond was called out to
Mercervi lcsc-hool one day this week to
administer correction to some boys who
persisted in bringing a large dog to
school and "setting him on" the small
children.
Workmen were yesterday getting up
storm doors to the front entrance of the
high school building. The board thinks
they will save a great deal of fuel.
The boiler at the high school is to-day
undergoing repairs. The amount of
work now being done on the high school
heating nparatus certainly indicates that
some body is making it "his. business to
look after it."
The school board have adopted the
resolution asked for by the board of
health, and now all pupils, whr have
been sick with a contageous disease, or
belong to an offected family, will have
to bring n doctors' certificate that there
is no danger of contageon before they
can reenter school.
I have heard some complaint of a
practice, some of the teachers have, of
making the pupils remain in, for miscon
duct, so long at noon and after school in
the afternoon. That an unruly pupil
should be punished, goes with out say
ing, but the punishment should not be
extreme; and, to keep the pupils in an
hour at noon or an hour after school is
certainly wrougin a physiological if not
in a moral sense. Thereupon the system
should be deprecated and if possible
some other form of punishment substi
tuted.
At the last meeting of the board the
wages of three i f the teachers (Misses
Murphy, Vail cry and Wilson) were raised.
This is a step in the right direction, and
I hope the day may speedily come when
Piattsmouth will have the reputation of
paying her teachers as high or higher
wages than any other city in the state.
It will certainly pay. .Perhaps not in
dollars and cents but in the better edu
cation of vour children. The time will
come when you will have to look to
these same children for the master minds
which will control the affairs of state
1 he better our teachers men, tue Detter
will be our reward. It is not enough for
tha teachers to drili her pupils on the
three R's, but without neglecting that
portion of her duty she has a higher am
bition, namely that of raising up for the
country defenders, and for Hie republic
citizens. If true patriotism, a patriotism
which consists of love and not hate,
which consists of maintaining and not
altering the well established forms of
government, be taught prosperity and
thrroughly in our schools the time will
come when anything contrary to individ
ual freedom will be classed a relic of bar
barism. But while we uphold the prin
ciples of freedom we must usa caution in
the greatest degree, lest we pervert these
principles and render our society in a
"W TDTD
Cent
worse condition than while monarchy
ruled supreme. It is necessary that our
children be taught the yalue of govern
ment where laws are properly executed,
and the worse than worthless condition of
an improperly executed statute. We
should teacli that liberty does not mean
the right to murder a neighbor and plunder
his house; does not mean the upliftir.gof
capital and degradation of labor; does
not mean that capital mu-t succumb and
labor rule supreme; but rather that liber
ty embodies the principles of humany
live and let live.
