FAIRBANKS SCALES were awarded the high.

and at most Of the western State Fairs" the
present year, and has never failed in fair com
petition with any others. But what is of more
practical value, as showing the estimation in
which these scales are held by the public who
have known and used them so long, is the fact
that the Messrs Fairbanks sales have steadily
increased for nearly forty years, being
the present year largely in excess of any for

Town Organization Of the Schools,

Superintendent McMynn, in his late Re-
port, discusses the subject of school organi-
cation as follows
''The defects of our present school district
system are radical, and without a change,
irrernediable. The experience of the Amer
lean people III the management Of public af-
fairs has demonstrated the tom to BIZ the
true unit. To cert ain extent this unit is
recognized in our system. Town boards of
supervisors have power to divide their re-
spective towns into school districts 10 such
manner as they may deem proper. They
may alter boundaries of districts annex a
part OF one to another, unite several into one
or divide one into several. Their authority
10 limited only to the right Of appeal to the
| department of Public Instruction. They
divide funds and property i'll case districts
are annulled and thus in several respects,
we have the town district system in opera
ton in our state
Instead, however, of carrying out this
principle, and providing town school board
to manage the school affairs, we have Great
ed from three to ten other boards in each of
the TOWNSHIP which the management of the
school is entrusted.
l. e present system requires TOO many
officers. If we assume five as the average
number of districts in each town of the
state, we have counting the town supervi-
sors and the town clerk, nineteen Fchool
officers for each town, or more than fifteen
thousand in all, We have, then, one school
officer for every twenty five children over
four and under twenty years Of age It
would seem that such a redupication of
offices is entirely needless 1t certainly
seems to be in direct conflict with the usual
methods OF doing business IL toiU not
stand the test Of common sense. Nineteen
officers to manage any other branch of pub
lie business for town would be declared
20 be at least three times as many as nee
essary. Every man knows that one third
the number would manage the educational
affairs of town three timas az well

PROGRESS OF SCHOOL ENTERPRISE IN THE
STATE.
"Many Of lIe school buildings erected dur
ing the past year, in design, arrangement and
location, show an increasing appreciation of
the srt of architecture, says the report,
''and thus furnish evidence of true social pro.
gress. The educating influence of public
buildings is never overlooked by an intelligent
community, and the vandalism that mars or
Injuries them is as much an effect as a cause of
Indifference toward that art that has always
marked high civilization.
twenty-five different villages and cities
have school houses valued at $4,000 or more,
end buildings are in contemplation at Bara-
boo. Oshkosh, Whitewater and Manitowoc,
which will cost from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
