the singers to leave the stage at all.

In conclusion would congratulate the Board
upon the success of the whole school during the
past year. To this success the fidelity OF teach
crs, the earneslness OF scholars, ana general
good health have contributed. But perhaps the
greatest factor in bringing about this success Is
port which your honorable body has ever been
pleased to give to both superintendent and
teachers In the discharge OF those duties which
properly devolye upon them. This known
disposition ON your part has been wall OF
safety TO the teachers and warning TO the
evil disposed that real grievances would alone
receive attention at your hands. Thanking YOU
for this support ] am very respectfully,
j. W. SMITH,
~ superintendent of Schools.
Alpena, July 9th, 1881.
Moved by Mr.. Potter that the annual re-
port of the Superintendent be accepted, or

Democratic Convention.

OOllNOhbAOhs
The Democratic National Presideu
tial Convention was held at Chicag
last week, commencing July Sth
1884. Richard b. Hubbard, of Tex
as, was chosen temporary Chairman
The first contest was in regard to tn
unit rule, but the convention by
vote of 463 to 332, decided to sustain
the unit rule.
In regard to the unit rule, few
of the State conventions had instruct
ed their delegations to vote as uni
that is, the entire vote of the Stat,
was to be cast as the majority shoulC
decide. Most of the State conven
tons had not instructed their delega
tons. The State principally inter
ested was New York State, and the
70 votes of that State were ordered
to be cast as a unit No opposition
was made to the unit rule at the time
the State convention was held, and il
was the regular custom Of New York
State Democracy to order their dele
CATION to vote as a unit. The opposi,
ton to Cleveland, at the time the
delegation was appointed, believed
they had majority of the delegates,
and thus they did not oppose the unit
rule. When they got to Chicago,
they discovered that they were in the
minority, and then they determined
to break the unit rule if they could.
At session of the New York delega-
ton on the day preceding the meeting
of the convention, the delegation de-
cided among themselves to uphold the
unit rule as commanded by their
State, by vote Of 81 for the unit
rule to | against The eleven were
the Tammany kickcrs, who did all in
their power throughout the session Of
the convention to defeat Cleveland.
The Convention decided that each
State had right to instruct its dele
gates to vote as a unit. An eXamina-
ton of the returns of the first ballot
taken in the convention shows that
twenty-four of the States did not vote
as q unit, rs they had not been order
cd to vote a. q unit. On the second
ballot twenLy-six of the States dele
cations voted rs they wished. The
States that voted solid OH the first
ballot were rs follows: Arkansas,
for Cleveland California, for Thur
man; Connecticut, for Cleveland ;
Delaware, for Bayard Florida, for
Cleveland Indiana, for Mcdonald /;
Kentucky, for Carlisle ; Maine, for
Cleveland Minnesota, for Cleveland
Nevada, for Thurman /; New Hamp-
shire, for Cleveland New York, for
Cleveland North Carolina, for Bay
ard Vermont, for Cleveland. The
delegates of the other States voted as
they individually wished, for instance,
the Michigan delegations vote on
first ballot was, Cleveland IA ; Bay
ard 1; Thurman II. The Illinois
vote was, Cleveland IS; Bayard 2
Thurman 1 Randall |; Mcdonald
II; Hendricks l..
We do not believe in the unit rule,
but if any fault is to be found, the
State, and not the convention, must
take the blame.
The various candidates were form
ally presented on the 9th. They
were Bayard, Mcdonald, Thurman,
Carlisle, Cleveland and Randall. But
Ter withdrew from the contest, and
his name was not formally presented.
The first ballot resulted as follows

During the past year the High School has
successfully finished the most critical stage in
It's history. In September. 1881, this depart
ment commenced the year with only eight
scholars who were pursuing strictly high school
studies, the remaining scholars in this room
being wholly In the eighth grade, or partly In
the eighth and partly in the higher grades.
During the next year essentially the same
scholars were found IN this department, but
pursuing only High School studies In June,
1889, an eighth grade, consisting of fifteen, en-
tered from the Grammar School, and again In
June, 1884, an eighth grade of seventeen enter
cd from the same department. In 1882 the
Board of Education adopted scheme of studies
for the High School, consisting OF four courses,
and in June 1888, n class OF four-twO in the
scientific and two in the English comse-were
awarded diplomas. The graduates from the
scientific course were Miss Lille Rayburn and
Miss Anna Dafoe, and those from the English
course were Miss NJ. N. Rayburn and Mr.. Harry
X. Morse. At q meeting i'm May, 1884, the
Board upon recommendation Of the Superin-
tendcnt and Principal, decided 10 invite Il COM
mlttcc from our State University to visit our
High School, with q view to admitting its grad
yates to that institution upon their High School
diplomas. In response 10 this invitation, the
Faculty sent rs such committee, Prof. G. X.
Adams, Professor of History in the University
OF Michigan. Frof. Adams, after careful per-
sonal examination, reported IN favor of the adj
mission Of the class Of IS to the Ph. u. course,
and in favor of admitting the classes Of IS and
sc to the b.. BIS. and Ph. Il. courses, provided
no important change should be made in the
present teaching force. and also that an assist
ant he employed for full time in the High
School. At n special meeting held in June the
Board decided to accept these conditions, re-
tanned the present Principal, and instructed
the Committee on Examinations to find an as
sstant who should be acceptable 10 the Faculty.
On June 10Th, twenty-sx belonged to the High
School, seventeen entered and two graduated,
leaving n membership of forty-onc. For the
past two years very careful and complete re-
cord has been kept of the work of each scholar
In this department, and II is diiicult To see
how any High School could be more carefully
graded. The most serious lack III present Is
felt in the scientific course, where, owing to the
great want of philosophical apparatus, the study
Of physics is pursued at great disadvantage.
That this lack may prove serious In the near

The growth OF the school during the past year
has been very marked, as will be shown by the
following comparison with the statistics Of the
previous year:
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1884-07-16

Building would be OF very great advantage TO
the school, | would respectfully recommend
that one OF our unused recitation rooms be fitted
up Tor that purpose. The supervision of the
| room could be managed without extra expense,
and one fourth the amount which will be re-
| ceived from fines will he am ample appropria-
| ton for the present.
During the past year substantial additions
| have been made 10 our library both OF English,
German and Norwegian books. The library Is,
| however, very much In need Of stll greater adj
ditlons In all its departments. IL Is probably
safe 10 say that, considering Its size, no library
In the state Is used 10 greater extent and yet,
with its fourteen hundred Volumes II Is but a
mere skeleton OF what II ought To be. The de-
partments Of English literature and History,
both English and American, are entirely made
quate TO the wants Of the school, and these de-
partments should receive special attention. The
German and Norwegian books have also been
extensively used, and more ought 10 be added
With the 5000 appropriated by the Board, and
the amount 10 be received from fines, at least
two hundred and nifty volumes could be pur-
chased. II these books are carefully selected
the usefulness Of our library, both TO the school
and to the general public, would be greatly in
creased.
From the table OF statistics you will see that
scventy-two pupils were promoted from the
primary 20 the grammar department, and sew
entccn from the latter department to the High
School. The step from the eighth grade TO the
High School, closing as II does, the common
school course, properly 80 called, Is one of SO
much importance that II is fitting TO make men
