A LETTER reached the Sheboygan post
Office some time ago addressed to John
Greennagle, Sheboygan. The postmas-
ter promptly sent it to Manitowoc, having
half developed idea that person of
that name lives here. The lady clerks
in the post Office insist that the initial
syllable in the surname is simply descrip-
tive and that the letter belongs to this
office. The reputed owner would like
to have the real one appear on the scene
He need not prove property or pay
charges but simply take the thing away.
The letter is an inoffensive looking docu
ment with an orphan like look. 1t is as
woe begone in appearance as maiden
who has reached her third climacteric
| with no one to love her. 1t seems to
have tale TO tell but can find no one
| to give it audience.
LAST week brought the people Of the
CITY of Manitowoc and their schools into
! closer relations than they have been for
| the year. The Third Ward school had
it's exercises on Thursday evening.
| They consisted of essays, declamations
and discussions by the pupils of princi-
Piles of philosophy. In the Second Ward
school the graduating exercises were held
on Friday evening. The assembly room
was filled to its utmost capacity. The
room was tastefully and appropriately
| decorated. The graduating class con-
sisted of three members, Addie Pro
chazka, Kate kirwan and Carrie Edwards.
| Their subjects were respectively, Ancient
Egyptian Civilization, Joan of Arc, and
| The Exile of the Acadians. Each treated
her topic quite we'll and showed capac
ity for thought and investigation highly
pleasing to her friends. Mr.. Smith con-
ferred the diplomas at the close.
The Two Rivers graduating class COM
prsed three members: Ella Scott, who
read an essay on Character; Lizzie John
| ke, on Words and their Uses, and Ida
| Richter, one on The Mission of Birds.
The young ladies acquitted themselves
with credit. Mr.. Burch conferred di-
plomas in a brief address to the class.
THE graded schools of this county have
had q very successful year. Mr.. Smith
has been eminently successful In direc-
ton in which it is highly desirable effort
should tend;-in gaining the confidence
of his pupils and influencing their action
in school and out. To guide the action
of young people without the assumption
of authority SO that they are kept in the
right course unfettered, is teaching of
the highest order. Discipline which
gives strength of character must recog-
nize those principles which are the
essential elements of character, and
should allow freedom of action on the
part of the pupils to be benefited.
Restraint should come from the educated
conscience and as little as possible from
outside authority, SO that growth may be
in the person and not IN the nature of
yielding to outside influences. This
seems to be the prominent feature of his
work, as indeed it is getting to be the
fundamental principle in the work of the
leading teachers of the county.
The First Ward school closes to day.
Mr.. Miller has performed his work in 30
satisfactory manner as to bere- engaged.
This school has state reputation and at
state educational gatherings it Away goes
by the name of Viebahns school. With
the harmony at present prevailing at the
North side, the schools of Manitowoc
stand second to none.
Mr.. Patzer will continue at the head
of the Third Ward school. He has de-
veloped powers as an organizer that will
give him distinction as teacher. Few
teachers of his age give SO much atten.
ton to the philosophy of the mind in
outlining school work.
The Two Rivers school, has for some
reason never had its reputation fol
excellence extended beyond the county
limits. 1t has not continuity of success
ion on account of the withdrawal OF
pupils before the course is completed
so that its standard is not uniform. Blu
it properly ranks with the best schools
in the state and often it has been the bes
school in the county. Mr.. Burch has
worked with singleness of purpose an6
a degree of intelligence for the good O.
the school and has earned the confidence
and gratitude of his patrons. This veal
he will have some of the work of hi.
pupils at the national exhibit
The Kiel school has been steadil,
growing until now it deserves standing
among the city school. 1t has tire,
departments and will probably have fou
the coming year. The people are deter
mined to retain the services of Mr.
Hewitt who has contributed largely t.
the high standing of the school. They
offer him an increase of salary greatly il
excess of what they have hitherto paid
