How many parents who have children at
tending the public schools of the city, have
visited the schools during the year? 1t is the
exception and not the rule that parents attend
to this duty. Too few Of them are even ac
quainted with the teachers who have the train
ing of their children. and it is rarely the case
where mother early becomes acquainted with
the teacher to enlist special interest in the
scholar. In two weeks from tomorrow the
schools will close, and by that time one of the
parents of every child in our public schools
should have visited them a: least once during
the year.

Since the Kansas Pacific Express Company
commenced doing their own express busi-
ness, the people of this city have been subject
ed to great Inconvenience because of the dis
lance of the express Office from TIE business
part Of the town. In consequence thereof we
believe that the company are losing much eX-
press business which they would receive were
they to establish an Office OF some kind up
town. Many packages now are sent by mail
where they would be sent by express were
those who send them not compelled to walk q
mile to have them billed. We hope something
can be done to change the express office in
Saina TO more convenient place.
