CONDITION OF OUR SCHOOLS.
During the past seven years our schools
have undergone a remarkable change, and
are model worthy the attention and main
tenance Of every citizen of our county, and
to be patterned after by each o! the dJacen.

imsrt yeme1t lie, which seem. to be deemed
unworthy of search by the patrons of our
neighboring counties, The advancement
of their schools is no longer secret to the
they learned by EXP erence that tho we'll
rendered duties Of competent man as
County Superint endent OF Schools are in
dispensable to the progress Of their schools.
The teachers, rs a rule, are we'll informed,

some of our teachers are backward in edu-
catiousl attainments, and more SO in the
proper government Of schools. The ctaf
beng separated yearly and semi-yearly
from the living material, leaves want Of
teachers to fill our schools, which want
must be supplied with the young and in e1-
perienced in school government, yet are
well Informed in the branches required to
be taught. Among those are PERSONS who,
with short experience, become successful
teachers There are those alao, Whe for a
number CT years are examined semi'annu-
ally, and at each effort find their standing
the sans, and even less than that Of the
preceding. This shows lack in the
teachers RESPECT for the profession, and q
want of love for the work which he is re-
quired to do. The persons of the last class
make Up the chaff Of which we have spoken.
Sorry to gay, to this class belong many OF
our oldest teachers; the foremost III the
profession being young men and women,
on whom rests the future advancement OF
cur schools, while in cooperation with,
and presided oyer, by such an officer, as
WAS experienced in Mr.. VI. KirWan, or bis
able successor. The honor Of bringing our
schools to their present standard belongs to
Mr. Kirwan. IL, was the first County
Superintendent of Schools of Manitow oC

form in the schools of the county, and con-
tinued the meritori0rs work during three
successive terms, retiring f!o'u the conflict

Cur Oppcrtuniti es.

Opportunities made the most of, are the
seeds from which spring success. Oppor-
tunities neglected, bear fruit in disappoint'
menf and contempt of OUT fellow men. We
believe that the present time aud the coming

advantages which are lasting. 1t ha. a
good location in a large county, and has
easy communication with tie larger south

sympathy and good will of the greet NO.
jority of people in the county, who know
that whatever is done TO enhance the
interests of the city, they viii De benefited
thereby. They are interested in seeing
substantial Improvements going on areund
them. Our city he. suffered les, than al
most any other place in this part of the
State from financial panic, bankruptcy AID
dullnes: OF trade. It will enter the sprins
of 1877 well prepared to crowd its several
business enterprises, while some places we
know of will be, to large extent, crippled
by the disasters of the past few months.
These temporary advantages may be made
the foundation of increased prosperity if
improved. Paying comparatively low rates
and reasonable rates when help is required,
our business men are better able to CON-
plete with rivals in other places. They
should at once prepare for the spring trade
by laying in full stocks Of goods. Buying
wisely, our merchants should be able to
sell lower than their competitors. This
fact shoald at once be known all over this
county, and in such parts of adjoining coun
ties as are conveniently located and easy
of access. Il should be known 10 every
neIshboring village and hamlet, and in
every farmhouse 10 the surrounding country
that Manitowoc offers greater variety of
goods at lower prices than any city in this
part of the State. United and intelligent
effort among business men will BE needed
to carry out such a plan; bat the effort will
draw to our city an immense increase of
business-business which naturally belongs
here, and business tina. can be easily kept
here by such dealing as will convince Gus.
toners from abroad that they can do better
here than elsewhere. Let's try new de-
parturc in this direction, and see if we
all won't be profttcd thereby.
