Septem
ber two weeks after the time prescribed
by the manual. On the loth ot Septem
ber, 1873, the school work was commenc
ed under a full corps ( f teachers consist
ing of a principal and eig'at assbtants to
whom u ninth was Mtbscqneutly added.
The work of instruction was prosecuted
without interuption, and with a commend
able degree of fidelity and energy. The
progress made, though no: per hups equal
to the expectations and wishes of those
who were most interested in the success
of the new plan, has nevertheless been
highly gratifying,
In the tirst efforts in any reform doubts
and fears are entertained because of a
common repugnance to w hat are esteem
ed as u-eless and ;xpcn.ivu innovations.
Many of us are rcluctiat to surrender old
and cherished notions however antiqua
ted, and feel that it is better to follow
the beaten truck trodden by our fathers,
forgetting that we are living in an age of
progress. Put despite these doubts and
tears we hive reached the close of the
first year's work under the new organiza
tion, and feel assured that good progress
has been made.
Among the chief obstacles to the suc
cessful working of aay school system is
the irregularity in attendance; and this
has been a serious hindrance to a desira-

The working ot the plan lias thus far
heen somewhat expensive, but no great
?jo: in any department of life c;u be
Lchicvcd w ithout a corresponding acri
lice, find there is no sacrifice whicii shouM
be .) cheerfully made as that whicii yields
the bust and surest ret urn for tlie benefit
of our children. It is thought a good
thing to accumulate s' ores of wealth,
but what is wealth when gained at the
expense of the mental and moral well be
ing of the nsing generation y I would by
no means favor extravagant or undeserved
compensation, or useless expenditures, but
if we would secure tfticitnt work in our
schools and see them take rank with the
best schools of the older states, suffi
cient inducement s in list be held out to
command the best teaching talent, and
to furnish the most approved appliances.
Although the entire seating capacity of
all the school buildings and rooms is
somewhat in excess of the wants of our
present population, yet a wise policy has
lock' d forward to a regular and inevitable
growth of our city, audio a patronage
Irom without of such as desire to pursue
a more thorough and extended course of
study than that which is furnished by
the ordinary distric t schools. If we are
tre. to our own interests, and sustain
schools of a high order of merit, we shall
invite a population to settle in our midst
that will contribute largely to the ma
terial, moral, social and religious interests
of our city.

selves into a company ostensibly to ob
tain credit and funds to build the road.
They bought the charter of an old cut
lit called the "Penn. Fiscal Agency."
It allowed them to let contracts, han
dle the money, make the dividends and
in fact transact all the business of the
road. They dubbed this machinery'
the "Credit Mohilier of America."
They not only controlled their own
operations but by an agreement thej
induced the U. P. stockholders to sign,
these Credit Mobilicr stockholders
were to vote sixth tenths of their stock,
thus giving them complete control of
the Union Pacific railroad company in
all its business transactions.
It was to this P. 11. King, within a.
ring, represented by these seven trus

former, Major Pavis, assigned a
tract, the profits of which amounted to
nearly eiy.Ut millions of dollars for the
paltry sum of three, or live, 5

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
At Weeping "Water was very largely
attended and every precinct but one
represented. Sickness alone prevent
ing that one from being represented.
The proceedings were rapid, lively and
harmonious. No pleasanter or better
feeling convention bus ever been held
in the county. The ticket nominated
is said by every one to be a number
one ticket and the candidates unex
ceptionable men. Now work, boys.

are about to enter.
EXAMINATIONS.
The examinations, in which his honor,
the Mayor, took an active part through
out, were prosecuted with much vigor,
through a course of nearly three weeks,
and proved a source of prolit to the pu
pds and of gn at interest to the examiners.
They were designed not only to ascertain
the progress made by the pupils in their
studies, as a means of grading and class
ifying, and as a stimulus to future ddi
gence, but also as a test of tin skill and
fidelity of the teachers. In the coarse of
these examinations many bright minds
were found ia the various departments,
whicii under proper direction mid
traiiiirg, give promiseof tine scholarship ;
and we are rejoiced to remark evidences,
of such excellent improvement of tlie op
p irtunities now afl.-udfd. It is a sotin e
i l regit t th;.t so many were ab-ent troai
these concluding exercises. It is sincere
ly hnped that parents and guardians will
hercaltcr discountenance all inclination
on the part of pupils under their care to
absent themselves from school before the
close of t!ie term.
GRADING.
The debicn in grading is to place in
the same room uml r the same teacher a
clas of pupils as nearly as pussibh: cf
the same stage f ad vane mcnt in thcii
ste.die.", sa that the discussions an J il.us
tra'ion.s of subjects and principles may
inure to the beuvMt of all alike. This
desirable end is ace uuplished at a large
cost of time an i labor, and the work at
the close of the fit term, with prepara
tion fr the tf.coaiing school year, has
been rendered doubly laborious and per
pltxirg to both superintendent ami pu
pil by the withdrawal of such large
numbers on the approach of the examina
tion.
Our entire system has been arranged by
regular gradations in all the departments
with a view to the symmetrical develop,
men. and strengthening of all the facul
ties of the mind. Too much importance
can not be attached to the cultivation of
the perceptive power: in connection with
tln-c of memory and of reasoning in
fchoolroom driii. Many of our mo.t
eminent and useful citizens are. men who,
in their youth, were thrown upon their
own resources without money or advice,
but who arc indebted to the diligent ex
ercise of l heir perceptive jxmera for the
knowledge which tiny have, acquired.
This knowledge ia of a practical nature,
and gives them a great advantage often
over the most diligent book-learned
scholar whose tr.iining has never been al
lowed to take range beyond the metaphy
sical and the abstract. This thought has
been kept steadily in view iu the arrange
ment of the svs'tm adopted, and ia the ,
selection of apparatus and appliances for
the i;-.e of our scnools, with like provi-

On consultation with the committee of j
Council on education, the curriculum of
study has been somewhat amended and
enlarged, mainly with a view to greater
thoroughness and ifik-iouoy iu the work.
Thus far the :3d and 4 h primiry grades
h ive for want of separate apartments heen
placed side by side in tlie same room, and
ii'il the recitations and instructions con
ducted in the hearing of each other. The
result is a constant co'lhion of sounds
even in the ordinary tones used in ques
tion and answer, ami diversion ot the at
tention of the pupils from one tide of the
room to the other is unavoidable. I would
press this thought upon the minds of the
council in the hope that they may iu their
wisdom devise some relief from this em
barrsMuent. It is to be regretted that the grounds
around the High S.haol building have
not been farthtr improved aa 1 beautif.cd.
The comfort and convenience of the
teachers and pupils connected with the
Iliuh Schord would le greatly promoted
and much labor to parents saved by the
building of a side walk fror the corner
of Sixth and .Main streets to the High
School. In the present condition of
thingi that part of Main street lying be
tween Sixth and Eighth streets is almost
impassible in time of much -ain fall.
