OUR SCHOOLS.

Every Wilmingtonian has cause to he
proud of the character of our Colleges and
seminaries During the past. and coming
week, all the Colleges, Seminarles and
schools have recommended operations. Our
Public Schools will compare fayorably with
those of any State in the Union, so far as
they go, hut we need higher grade of
school badly. We want one where children
can be taught the higher branches, after they
have passed Il successful examination in the
public educational institutions already estab-
lished. II is true that we have the very best
schools in our midst, which are under the
care of instructors in every way competent
TO imparl To pupils all the elements of edu-
cation necessary to fit them for any position
in life which they may be called to fill. But
the great mass Cf our children-the sons and
daughters of mechanics-are debarred from
attending these institutions because their
parents are unable to pay the tuition fee.
What we want then is first class Public
School where the masses can be educated
some object to II on account of the cost -
But the amount of good that such a school
will do, wilhen thousand times compcnsate
for the outlay. If we do not build such an
one, but continue to send our youth forth
with just sufficient learning to make them
worthless in after life we will have to erect
prisons instead of school houses, and that
speedily too, especially if the ''lager beer"
element continues to claim so large share
Of popular consideration and respect as
seems to be accorded to it of late by men
claiming to be christians and moral citizens.
Already our schools do much good, but we
need something else, we want School that
will educate and fit the son of the poorest
man in the city to take his place beside the
wealthiest, in the race of life. Every days
experience seems to convince the thinking
man of the necessity of such an institution
Our elections prove that it is needed We
are far behind the age, in all The great and
necessary reforms. Let us have first class
school

NEW FIRM.-We desire to call attention to the
card of Doctors Wardner & Gericke, Which an.
pears in this issue, and in what we say, feel
that they merit it all and even more. They
are both eminent physicians and surgeons, be
side being good citizens and men of rreproach.
able character. At the breaking-out of the
war DR.. Wardner gave up.a professorship in
the Chicago Medical College and lucrative
practice in that city, and entered the army.
He served for year and half under General
Grant, in the field, during which time his skill
and experience were brought into constant
requisition upon the fields of Donaldson, Shi-
lob, and many others. @
When these active campaigns were over DR..
W. was placed in charge of the U. S. General
Hospital at Mound City, which he conducted
with signal ability up to its close, in June
last at which time he was transferred to this
city, and up to within few days past has been
Post Surgeon. As a mark of confidence in
him, and in view of his continued and valuable
services, he has been promoted to the rank of
Brevet Lieutenant Colonel, and has again be-
come a citizen.
DR.. Gericke has for some time been a resi-
dent of this city, and has an extensive prac.
tice. He is graduate of some of the leading
Universities in Europe, and has been in this
country and locality long enough to become
conversant with the diseases peculiar to tn is
Latitude. He is polished scholar and scien-
tlfic man. We bespeak for them abundant sue
cess.
