OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
II Is Visited by Superintendent Waldron.
Prosperity Needed I'm
prOYeE,ents.

Mr.. D. r. Waldrom, Superintendent OF
Public instruction Of Aituras county,
remained in Ketchum yesterday for the
purpose OF visiting our public school,
which. he is pleased to note, shows
decided improvement in every respect,
and especially orderly conduct, since
his previous visit.
The attendance at that time was chiefly
OF smaller pupils, and appeared to the
view OF a visitor mere as a nursery than a
school room. Parents have taken, eyi-
IDENTITY, q new interest in sending their
children for instruction, and with o
large and constantly increasing attend
ance, the school, under the discipline OF
Mr. Brashear, has gradually assumed a
condition OF perfect order, system and
advancement.
! Upon the occasion Of this visit the
/ 0peElntet1ueHt COuAtei do5ut seventy
4 larger pupils. This attendance, he
urges, is entirely too great for the pres
ent capacity OF the building for com
| fort, and too much for the care and
management of single instructor He
advises again the necessity Of our trus-
I
tees making provision to relieve thi.
condition Of the school by employing a
least one assistant, and enlarging or ad
ding to the seating capacity. This cal
be done, for instance, very economical,
by flooring and lining the addition nov
used for wood house. The expense vii
be small, and he thinks the general schoo
fund can provide for most of it.
By all means, let us have good, com
Portable, wellconducted school. Itmay b
necessary to raise few dollars by sub
scription, but all parents will readily en-
courage such a move by quick eompli
ance.
AIr. Waldron leaves here for Atlant
Rocky Bar and other portions Of til
county.

Charles Reade, the novelist, died
in London on Good Friday. lie was
born in 1914, and grew to be a TO-
bust and studious lad, early showing
great intellectual powers. He was
educated at Oxford University, and
although called to the bar, chose
literature for his field, throwing
into it his best strength, and large
ly using it as means for showing
up the wrongs and injustices of So
ciety, particularly those of prison
life. Among the writer's of fiction
of the Victorian age he will occupy

shall estimate with a master mind

The educational bill of Mr.. Blair,
that passed the U. s. Senate the
other day, will, if it becomes law, be
a very important agent in the edu-
cation of the Children of the Union.
The object of the bill is to extend
national aid to the common schools.
The money falling to Tennessee will
be &,920,000; an average of $Gl4,-
900 per year for eight years, for
school purposes. The whole amount
of money this year at the disposal
of the State for the common schools
is but $75,475. So magnificent an
increase of financial aid as the Blair
bill will provide cannot but give, if
wisely expended, magnificent re-
turns.
