GRADED SCHOOLS.

Mr.. EDITOR: Our school system pro-
vides for the establishment of Graded
Schools to be supported by tax, and to be
under supervision of the Common School
Directors.
AS | understand the matter, these
schools are sort of connecting link be.
tween the "District School" and the
Normal School" The question is: IN
der what circumstances are such schools
practicable2
Take, for example, Coudersport and
Ulysses. Each has school building and
each has large number of young persons
desirous Of acquiring a higher education
than our Common Schools afford. Each
has tried to run an Academy and Gnd that
in the absence of an endowment or any
independent means of support, they &c
only semi occasionally aud soon become
dull. The principal reason is that not
enough is received from tuitions to com.
mand the services of teacher of high
standing.
Suppose the four districts of Ulysses
Bingham, Harrison and Hector, were tc
unite in purchase of the Ulysses Acad
emy building, and employing teacher Of
the right stamp, at liberal salary.
Treat the Common Schools as so many
Primary Departments from which scho!
ars might graduate to the Higher De
partmeut, to be conducted in the Acad
emy building. Fix upon standard o.
requirements, admitting any person pass
ing the required examination into this
Higher Department, with small tuition
fee, perhaps about one dollar per term fol
those who took only common Englst
branches, aud two dollars for those wht
studied higher branches. This woulc
leave about two-thirdS of the whole ex
pense to be paid by tax.
In time two departments might be es
tablished at the main building, but for tht
present, one might be better. From this
graded school those who might wish tt
become teachers should 90 to the Norma
School of our District at Mansfield, which
is to be conducted hereafter by Professo
FoRDYCE A. ALLEN, sure guaranty o
good school.
The same suggestions, if good, voulc
hold true of Coudersport, and perhaps
MIllport.
Discussion invited. n. B.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.-A cor
respondent of the Chicago Journal fore
casts the result of the coming Presidential
election with more than probableaccuracy.
He finds that the vote at the recent State
elections held in those States not in re-
bellion against the Union, was as follows :
Union vote. 1901 1902
Democratic vote, I,524,629
Uniou majority, s77,I63
The Presidential election will call out
nearly four millions of votes, of which the
Unionists will, beyond question, cast some
100000 more than their adversarles.-
Nearly every loyal State, except New
Jersey, will vote heavily for the Union
ticket. Fremont, if finsane enough TO run
as an outside candidate, could not poSsi-
bly obtain more than 100000 votes on
the contrary, his poll cannot, in all prob
ability, reach oDe-thrd Of that number.
But, oonceding him 100000 votes, Lin
coin would even then have over 100000
plurality on the popular vote, as we'll as
the electoral suffrages of two-thirds Of the
loyal States.
The Democrats and copperheads do
not expect to carry the election, but they
hope, with the aid of Fremont, to pre-
vent Lincoln's reelection by the people.
But suppose they do this. what can they
hope to accomplish p? The Houseot Rep
resentatives would have to elect one OF
two candidates. AS between Lincoln
and Mcclellan, majority of the States
would 90 for the former. The Presidents
reelection is, therefore, already decided.

EeWe told our readers that the seventy
five million loan, lately advertised for would
all be taken by the great capitalists, if not
bv the small ones-that if the people want
ed q good investment they had it before
them. They had good evidence of what
such loan was really worth. The bonds
Of 81 already issued were selling daily in
New York at about fourteen per cent pre-
MUM, while the 1910 five per cents could
be had for the asking at par. This new loan
was worth the same at least. Yet the cap
italists, simply because the mass of the
people did not step in and take it, as they
might have done with ease, will obtain a
large portion of the loan at about four per
cent premium! That is giving them just
about ten per cent bonus ortakingit. The
way they manage the matter is easy enough
to be understood. They make up their
minds together that certain portion Of the
oan will be taken by the outside public
The rest they know will be left for them to
"gobble up" They put in Their bids at
about what they consider the lowest sum
Mr.. Chase will accept. and feel sure Of max
ing .'good thing of it,. Besides this they
"rope i'm as many outsiders as they can to
abide by their bids, and SO, in fact, control
the principal part Of the offers. Now we
ask our readers who have little money
cover" to note what the bonds Of this loan
sell for when they are offered at the New
York Board. When they see what they
bring there, they will understand precisely
what per cent they have lost by not
promptly investing. They wont sell for
less than the old loan of six per cents due
in 81.
