The Board of Education baa decided not
to announce the alignment of teachers until
the day before the beginning the autumn
term of the public schools , September T.
This k contrary to the usual custom and
foreshadow ! 4 general changing around of
the teachers.
For a. number of years past the arslgn-
ment of the teachers baa Involved consequences
quences to the board that Incurred graver
responsibilities than the election of the
teachers. Many of the teachere are sure to
b dteaatisfied and disappointed with their
; as'ignment These who have taught a num-
j her of years naturally feel that they are en-
I titled to some consideration when It comes
j to the aasl cment of rooms. They feel that
I they are entitled to be placed In rooms In
the central buildings , or in building. ) located
nearest to their homm. They hae not
httiltated to make their desires Kiion and
members of the board have bad to listen
to many vigorous protests and complaints.
"We are golru ; to get rid of this annoy
ance this season , ' said a member of the
board , yidtcrday , "by refusing to announce
the aeslgnmenUi until the day before the
schools open. The time will then be too
short fcr ua to hear many objections that
will Inevitably be made and too late to make
changes , even If we were Inclined to. The
assignments have all been made , but It la
our Intention that none of the teacherd
shall know positively what disposition has
been made of them until they are ready to
begin work. Of course , aorue of them will
find It out , but It will only be a few and they
will have no cause for complaint. In mak
ing the assignment the board and the super
intendent have taken into consideration the
convenience and wishes of the teachers as
far aa practicable , but we believe that our
first duty < a to the public , and that the first
duty of the teachers is to their puplla. arul
we accordingly have placed them where , In
our opinion , they can. do the best work ami
give the best service to the schools. If we
were to consult the wishes of the teachers ,
the outlying schools would never have the
sirvlce of any but new and Inexperienced
teachers. All the old and experienced
teachers would be working In the central
buildings. Then we have offered a slightly
better salary for some of the grades with
a view of making It an object for the best
teachers to seek them. This inducement Is
not Intended to apply to the teachers whcae
chief recommendation Is their long sen-Ice
In the schools , but to the best teachers in
the tervlce. We expect hereafter to place
the teachers Just ae a wise business man
would place his clerks and assistants where
they will do him the best service. There are
good tochers willing to draw the salaries
we are paying , anl we feel , after we have
con. ulfed the convenience of the teachers
as far aa we can that there should be no
objection to the assignments. "

Yesterday was the closing day for work li
the teachers' Institute , today and tomorrows
being occupied with examinations. A dee ;
s
i Interest has been manifested during the en
1 tire session by all In attendance and man
of the teachers express the opinion that I
has been one of the most beneficial Institute
they ever attended. Prof. Eastman c
Fayette. la. , delivered a very Instructive ad
dress on last Tuesday evening and last even
Ing Hen. Henry Sabln- state superintended
of public Instruction , delivered a very lr
spiring and masterly address on education :
themes. The theories of Horace Mann an
hU magnificent life were held up ta the 2E
teachers and others interested In education :
themeo who had come In sufficient number t
comfortably fill the assembly room ot Broai
way church. The gist of the address ! d coi
talned in the following :
Horace Mann was the greatest educate
America ever produced. Born like Lincol
In poverty , the only means of education h
had In youth was the common dlstric
school , wh'ch he attended three or foi
months In the- year Having a wrong wil
power and tireless spirit he worked in at
versity and made it the stepping stone to hi
later position , tbe central nsure of educatlo
In America. When he was 14 year * of as
hN father died leaving him the oldest c
the children and consequently the princlpi
support of his mother and younger brothei
unu sisters. He undauntedly took up th
i , task and succeeded In this and also in ge

tit himself for college and In elx montt

class and afterwards practiced law , \VM
he was a good lawyer and legislator , for 1 :

and energy into the work. Tae plan 1
adcpted was similar to the one now pursui
In the state of Iowa. He traveled throug
the country visiting reboots , fjivine lectun
and In every way arousing public interest
educational work. His great success was n <
acquired by great words or deeds , but I

entered Into tbe work. He realized thi

No other c inlzatlon formed In the recent
hhtory of Council Bluffs has had the care
bestowed upon. It and the work , of selecting
Ita members and officers given such close
attention as this , and It Is confidently be
lieved that It will exert more than ordinary
Influence upon the destinies of the city dur
ing the next year. Upon Its work will de
pend a large share of the benefits that the
city will derive from the exposition. The
Idea has been to form an association ot the
busiest business men who will take up the
work assigned them and push ahead. It
was necissary to move slowly In selecting
the men to constitute the executive com
mittee of fifty , and nearly a month haa
elated since the start was made.

dent. C. H. Judson for secretary and E. W.
Hart for treasurer. It was generally known
before the meeting convened whom the com
mittee had selected and Its report was
promptly approved. The committee also sub
mitted the names of the fifty men who will
constitute the executive committee , each o (
whom had given the secretary his assurance
that he would accept the office and discharge
the duties assigned him and nearly the entire
number were present at the meeting last
