ANOTHKK OPEN LETTER.
A somewhat malignant ind bitter
aiticle appeared in lust evening's
NEWS entitled "An Open Letter,'rbut
the writer evidently preferred to re
main concealed, as no name appeared
at the end ns is custom iry in letters.
Asa number of falss insinuations were
made and, possibly, created a few
false impression?, it becomes neces
sary to make a few statements relative
to the fact-. Nothing but contempt
should be shown to an anonymous
i article, and such a cowardly attack
generally receives a little attention
as it deserve?. But a word or two as
to the "grievances" mentioned. .
It has not been the custom of late
years for the board to appropriate any
money for the commencement exer
cises, and the entire expense must le
borne by the graduating clu:-s. These
include hall root, the printing of in
vitations, program?, tickets, etc.; sal
ary and expenses of a lecturer, the ex
pense of a baccalaureate sermon, etc.
The receipts from the commencement
are te'.dom sufficient, and the deficit
must be raised by the class generally
in some form of public entertainment.
This will probablv be the c; so this
year and in all future years uutil the j
bo.it d of education. sis is customary ,
elsewhere, is financially isble to ap
propriate the necessary funds. The
giving cf this entertainment is not
permitted to iiiteifero with the school
work at all and the Senior class is
held as strictly to the required work as
nny other class, of which fact they will
a'l testify. The comuliinentarv list nt
the cemmencomeut exercises is ceces-
saruy large, Including the paiCLtaof
i - ,.
the graduates, the pres3, the board of
education, etc. This
f..ct roterihl v
decreases the income.
As the article stated that the pi j
given list year was a failure finan
cially, wo wish to state that the net
profits exceeded $40, or twice as much
rs we expected. This, how ver, was
expendtd by the c ass in various way
uutil Iheie was Keurceiy enough to
pay the expenses of the exeic.se, aud
as the class desired to give an infor
mal I al ihoy I vied $1 up .n ca -h
meuuer.
The suitem lit lhat ".a-htou - und
amusement"' are subsiituted for
thi-rnugh wo k in th.j S. ni.-r class
borders ujoi the ridiculous, as the
Senior cl i: s is rather U').:e? the iin-p.e-si-
n th it llt-i- class is bein he'd
to ti.eir wc-rk wMi loo much severity.
The Seniors a so retent the insinua
tion that their time is largely taken
up to dec. do upon cl ss pins, colors,
etc. It is our impression that but two
brief meetings of fifteen minutes each,
after school, constituted the sum total
this jeur Thcra is no time "set
aside" frcm school work whatever for
this pu pose, as the writer of the ar
ticle seems to buiieie.
As to the graduate dressing well on
the occasion which fo.-mally closes
their school life, that seems to be a
matter resting wholly with the grad
uates themselves and their parents.
It certainly ought not to be a source
of irritation to an ojts de. The
graduates aud their patents ought
eeriain'y to be the le.t judges of the
expense which is proper in these mat
ter. The insinuation rasde th u the
moie prosperous membsrs of the class,
financially, endeavor to ouishine those
of poorer families seems to be without
foundation anJ i a rather unjust re
flection upon the good breeding of our
graduates.
We further wish to state lhat at all
times it is cur desire that the patrons
of the schools 6hall feel free to bring to
our ni.tice anj' faults which may be
louna with our system, but we trust
that a .eraonal interview shall be
xrauled us in regurci t ih so mailers
and that the criticisms he. mud a in
vUwof all tha f: cts. Tnat faults can
be found in nur tchooi rt1m
iieeiy aamit. ana should be as p. eased
to disclose t le 8 imo as th-a strou?
points, wo empaaucauy acny that
time is being wasted la f.ishion and
amusement," and decure that stren
uous efforts j.re Ioing made to secure
thoroughness and proficiency by the
elimination of nil features which dis
tract from the woi k. Of the purity
aud industry which we claim prevails
in our scho le, we simply state that
the schools are open to a'l, and any
parents who are in doubt are earnest y
desired to come and investigate for
themselves.
As to the the opposition to home
teachers, it mav be said that practic
ally all of our teachers are borne grad
uates and tbe efficient service which
they are rendering speaks well for
Plattsmouth. Wiihin the l:st year
several young graduates have been
employed in our schools and their suc
cess is well known to the patrons. Our
teachers have been compared favor
ably with the foreign teachers.and we
hope that the time will never come
when it will ba necessary to eo
abroad for any portion of our teaching
force. AH things beinff equal. Platts
moulh girls should have the first
chance, and the re3ults thus far have
not been to their discredit.

October.Mortgage Record.
The mortgages filed and released
during the month of October ate as
follows: Farramortgages filed, $31,606;
released, $22,73o. Town mortgages-
filed, $4,162; released, $4,696. This
showing is very significant, when
compared with that for the same
month in 1895. It will be noticed that
in the above statement the farm mort
gages filed exceed the releases only
$7,871. while in the city, which is first
to feel the touch of prosperity, the re
leases exceed those filed by $534. Two
years ago, the farm mortgages filed
exceeded those released by $11,090,
while the excess of the city mortgages
filed over those released was $10,545,
A year ago the farm mortgages filed
amounted to $40,178, or $8,572 more
than for the same month this ye ;r.
That Ferry Road.
Nord & Thomas, who operated the
Platte river ferry at Oreapolis could
not agree, and dissolved partnership.
Each concluded to go into the ferry
business for himself, and accordingly
both applied for a ferry license to the
S :rpy and Cass county commissioners.
1 he farpy county commissioners
granted Nord a license, and the Cass
county commissioners granted Thomas
u license, thus complicating matters
somewhat, especially as Nord claimed
that the road to the ferry on the
Cass county 6ide was on his land, or I
! rather, on land that he had leased
frcm the li. & M., aud he proceeded
lo close it up.
Now comes Supt. Calvert, of the B,
& M., and offers the county the use of
H road, free, for ninety-nine yenrs,the
1 : 1 ,1 . j . . I
b llu rcau
to run due north to the
river frcm
the crossing at Ore ipolis,
ana" theco west lothe M. bridge.
j The commissioners will probably
accept the offer, but the qu stion who
will operate the ferry is not settled.
