have been most especially pleased with
what you have written of the educational
interests of Dallas. To advocate good
school buildings and excellent teachers for
the instruction of the children is the highest
wisdom, and your journal must prove itself
n power In bringing about in your city lust
such advantages for your boys and girls.
The unstinted school fund of Texas must
tell most fayorably upon the future of your
State.
Ten years of experience in the schools of
the West has impressed me that the newer
portions of our country far excel our older
East in all generous aid to the public
schools. am not forgetful that the schools
here at the Fast, and especially those in
New England, have much of which they
can rightfully boast neither can forget
that ride Of thirty minutes from New York
city will bring one to school buildings that,
in Iowa, they would not suffer to remain
unburned for twenty-lour hours.
In the city Of 0ttumwa,
Iowa, where / had the
supervision OF the schools for Some years,
n city at that time of seven thousand inhab-
itants, were three school buildings, one of
which was built at q cost of $4,000, another
costing S20,500, and the third, $4,000. This
generous estimate of ,Ottumwa for her pub.
lie schools. is but fair showing of the tg.
est taken in education throughout the
State, Even New England must take long
steps if she wishes TO keep her
schools abreast of those in the
newer Stats 1t seems to me

UNCLE TOMS CABTN-If there is q play
that seems never to wear out its popularity
it is Uncle Toms Cabin. We need not enter
into the why and wherefore, but the fact
asserts itself that Uncle Tom always draws
and always interests those drawn. The play
was produced last evening at St. James Hall
bv the Boston Ideal Uncle Tom Company,
and at their hands had Il very satisfactory rep
rcscntation. The hall contained large audi
cnce, who manfestly derived much enjoyment
from the performance, as was attestcd by the
frequent and hearty applause.
The company as a whole is very good One,
and seldom have we seen the play presented
in so effective manner. Miss Blanche Sla-
der is a capital Topsy. She has evidently
made a study of the 9rotesquc youn9ster, and
her way of playing the part will compare ta-
vorably with that of any who have attempted
IT. Mr.. John Harvey as Uncle Tom is like
wise excellent, and Yankee Knight is equally
good in the characters of rhineas Fletcher
and Gumpton Cute. Little Pansy gives Il
charming Eva. Mr.. Reed as st. Clair, Mr..
Smith as Marks, Mr.. Hartwcll as George llar-
ls, Miss Irene Stanley as Eliza Harris, and
Miss Ada Cannon as Ophelia, all acqut them
selves with marked credit, while the other
ladies and gentlemen included in the cast are
to be commended for the care they give to
their respective parts.
Uncle Tom will be repeated this and every
remaining evening of the week, and on Sat
urday a matinee will be given, which the chill
dren will no doubt attend III full force. The
excellence of the entertainment and the very
moderate prices of admission invite the at
tendance of aII.-BM9alo Express, Sept
