TIE PUBLIC SCHooLs.-The public
schools of Evansville are the pride of
every one OF our citizens. It has cost
much labor and required much pa
tience to bring them up to the present
standard. Amongst the difficulties
with which the Trustees and Super
intendent have had to labor of course,
is that of securing a corps of compe-
tent teachers, but at present we be-
lieve that no city in Indiana can
boast more competent corps of
teachers than Evansville. Prof. Cow
has labored with assiduity aud untir
ing energy to so divide the labor that
no teacher may be overtasked, but
that each one may have as nearly as
possible fair share Of the labor TO
perform. AT the commencement OF
the school year, the assignment of
scholars TO places the most convenient
to their residences, was a very difficult
task indeed, but it is believed that
the work has been accomplished so as
to give satisfaction. aud at the same
time be the best for the scholars.
