ALL POOLS, DAY.

The next secular festival we shall be
called upon to celebrate is All Fools Day.
The first of April should, under the present
condition of things political, moral, COM
mercial, and financial, be hailed with JOY
and honored with festive alacrity by the
people of this city. But more especially
since election are the inhabitants of this
city called upon to render honor and glory
to the day set apart for the delectation of
fools and the honor of the God of Folly. 1t
would be difficult to find IN ell the world q
more virtuously honest city administration
than ours, and under their various proposed
reforms, it may be truly said our council
comprises the most patient, enduring, and
foolish upon whom the sun shines. I,
seems to US, therefore, that on the FIRST day
Of April next, the new council and its police
force should mos, earnestly devote them
selves to public recognition of the God
whom, in their p.ssiveness under fraud
monopoly and pecul.,iOn, they SO persistent
! " honor-the God of fools.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1871-03-29
RnHlnLS.

While we are strong advocate of pnblic
schools, we still recognize the importance
Of private schools, academies, and insti
tutes, as filing place Of vital Importance
in the complete educational system of every
city and place OF importance. There is
very necessary part of every child's educs-
ton which cannot receive the attention due
from the teachers in our public schools, and
this is no fault of the public schools, as
from their nature, and the numbers that
come and go in these schools, it is not ex
peoted of them; and here is where private
schools and seminsries are of Importance TO
every community. 1t has long been a mat
ter of regret that Rock Island has had no
school where our citizens could send their
daughters without the great expense and
Inconvenience, and in many instances, posi-.
tive injury and ruin, attending the sending
of them abroad to gain that training and
| culture 80 necessary to enable the young
lady to take her place in society and in the
common duties of every day life and appear
the lady as wellas the accom- plishsd woman.
Efforts have been made to secure such
schools but none OF them have been success
| full until of late. We now have such an
institution and il is q matter of surprise to
us that so little has been said in reference
| TO it, and that our citizens who are ready to
respond to all calls for public Improvements
manufacturing enterprises, Railroads, trade
meetings etc. should not have assisted the
ladies who have come to US, and, almost
unaided, have established g school designed
to Ell SO important place along side of our
public schools. We took occasion to call
upon the Misses Robinson at their school
yesterday, and received An invitation to call
| again to-day and wittess some Of the exer-
cises. We did so and were agreeably sur
prissd and pleased at t he proficiency of the
young ladies and cannot refrain from
complimeusing them. We shall take
occAcion in a day or two to give
an extended account Of what has been done
in this school, its importance, what can be
made of it and what the Misses Robinson
propose, provided our citizens will take sufh
cient interest in the work to encourage and
assist them. We do net propose to argue
for granted tina. all will admit that here i.
an opportunity the city cannot afford &c
| loose.
