THE MANUFACTURE OF BRIGHT TIN.-The
Pittsburgh american Manufacturer says
that a firm in that city has begun what
promises to be the first successful venture
in the manufacture of bright tin-plates in
this country" 1t says that the cost OF
making iron sheets suitable for timing has
hitherto been so great as TO place it out OF
the power OF American manufacturers to
compete in price with the foreign. A mil
lion and half hundred weight of tin-plates
were imported in 1894, valued at nearly
thirteen million of dollars so there is room
for this home manufacture. The Pittsburgh
tirm is said to have taken advantage OF the
facilities for producing an extra quality OF
iron in the puddling.fyrnace by the use OIL
natural gas ard blast, ard 10 have made ou'
of ordinary pig.iron sheets suitable for tin
ming without the use of any charcoal.

things MAY DC the better understood, we would
call the attention of the public to IL few leading
facts. In the first place We would say that some
Of the ways are of course more favCrably. pro
vided for than Others. The lSt, I'd, sth and 9TH
wards have abundant room but it j, IN the 81
18th and 9Th wards and especially in the high
school department that something mast neces-
sarily be done and done soon. With the begin
ming Of thiS school year tie Gth ward was 80
crowded that the pupils were obliged tValternate
and thus enjoy the benefits Of school but bali
the time; the same was and is stll the ease in
the 9TH ward In view Of this the supcrintcn-
dent was obliged in grading 20 transfer a NUN
Der of pupils from the 9Th tothe 9TH ward which,
to some extent relieved the pressure in one place
but did not provide for the other. The primary
room Of the j.h ward numbering fi5 pupils, il
still alternating. One room ia'the 9th ward has
II pupils and most of the rooms Of these three
wards have over 60 pupils. This is certainly q
large number for our teachers toe do justice tC
and the abors Of the teacher can not become
sufficiently individual. The Sd ward building &c.
commodities at present 3S3 pupils, 9Th ward 2i2
9Th ward 1S9 So much for the wants Of the
ward schools But what especially claims our
attention is the high school, it affects the older
class Of pupils who are laying the finishing hand
to their educational career. II numbers at pres.
cnt nearly hundred pupil and many frcm
abroad were refused at the beginning of the year
for want of room In fact our own home pupils
were permitted to remain at home during study
hours to relieve the room from being oyercrowd-
ed In addition to this there are in the gram
mar schools Of our city over 20 pupils who will,
with few exceptions, be ready for the high school
at the close Of the year, but how they will be
commodacd must be left to the wise adminstra-
ton of our Honorable School Board and the
corporation of our citizens at laSgc. We hope
that all will lend a willing hand in this noble
work Of education and since We have every pros
pcct for making our schools the host In the land
let not indifference mar their success.
