Proposed Changes In the Silver
Public School,

The Trustees of the Silver City
School District are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of employing only two
teachers, instead of three, as hereto
fore. Should only two teachers he
employed, Professor Mills Van Wag-
enen would promote all the pupils
that are sufficiently advanced. By
thus increasing the number in bis de-
partment aud decreasing that in the
intermediate and primary depart
ments two teachers could manage the
school. In that case Miss McTigue,
the teacher at Wabuska, or Miss Les
lie, teacher of tine primary depart
ment at Dayton, would be given the
refusal of the post of assistant to
Professor Van Wagenen, with a sal
airy of 800 per month. The Board
will meet this Saturday evening,
spd decide upon the matter.

Virginia, and j. A. McMartin and
Mills Van Wagenen, of Silver City,

a vacstion trip. Messrs. Baker,
Davis and McMartin returned homo
Thursday afternoon, via the new rail
road and the Mound House, and Mr..
Van Wagenen still tarries with US,
but will go home this morning. An
aureole indicative of the possession
of the superior intelligence of the
class to which they belong, shone
about the body of each; and when
they walked the streets of Dayton at
night, accompanied by Professor
Bray, our local pedagogue, they made
the surroundings as light as day.
Such an array of learning has not
been seen In Dayton since the Con-
gressional commission sent to in
