OUR SCHOOLS. the guidance o
L. V. Loomis the newly elected School
Trustees on Wednesday paid visit to
The Primary and Grammar Schools of
Phoebe. The first one visitited was the
Primary School, under the charge OF
Miss Laura Goodrich. This young lady
has under her care fifty-seven scholars.
who are rapidly improving under her
tuition. While the Trustees were pres
ent Miss Goodrich had two OF her classes
examined as to their proficiency IN
spelling. most OF them passing satisfac-
tory examination. Considering the
number of scholars under tbs charge of
this lady, we think that their advance in
studies and general department reflect
much credit on her and shows we'll for
the exertions Of the teacher. Rev. 4. Il.
Kline has charge of the Grammar
School, which at present contains fifty
two scholars, among whom good order
is maintained by the teacher with SEEM
ing ease. While we were present classes
in geography and arithmetic were exam
ined, and although totally unprepared
for the visit, splendid examination in
these two studies was passed. The visi-
tors retired we'll satisfied with their visit.
An inspection OF the school-bouses shows
that number OF repairs are needed 10
the buildings to place them in condi-
ton for wlnterland the furniture OF the
schools need ovsrhauling. There are too
many scholars in both schools, but it is
impossible to have three, schools and
teachers and keep them running six
months in the year, 80 that the best that
can be done is to run the two schools as
they are at present.

A DISPUTE. There seems to be little
difficulty brewing in regard to the bullion
tax on Hillside ore. The dispute is in
regard to the percentage deductions, the
Assessor allowing go per cent. deduction
for all expenses, while the company

expenses. An appeal will be made to the
