Yankton has reason to be prouder Of
its school system than ever before, be-
cause greater pains and care have been
devoted to the selection of the present
corps of teachers than at any previous
time. The board, especially the COM
mittee on teachers, have sought far and
wide for these instructors who combine
experience, skill and thorough discipline
with kind, gentle manners and the most
beneficial influence over children. In
this search, expense has been secondary
consideration.
Prof. A. F. Bartlett has been re-
tanned as superintendent and principal
teacher, as q matter of course. After
two years of service in that capacity
it is but simple justice to say that his
administration has been excellent, and
his ability, faithfulness and fitness for
the work are so unquestionable that no
citizens of the place desire change.
We give below the names of all the
assistants with the room and grade to

A CHOICE OF Evils The ques-
ton of campaign funds, says the New
York Truth, is very serious one to
the political managers, but the duty"
of making voluntary contributions is
equally serious to the Office holders.
They are very anxious to give, but
are afraid. What is man to do
when the party leaders piteously ask
for money and the Civil Service re-
formers threaten the contributors
with prosecution if they give? Dis
agreeable as it must be to the over
paid clerks in the departments, they
reluctantly resolve to hold on to their
money rather than 60 to jail Never
before had men such a choice
of evils as this. That they should
complain Of the hardship of law
that compels them to keep their mon
ey is to be expected. 1t is hard that
a nan cannot do as he likes with bis
own.
