Morris tribune., 1885-10-28
State supt d. T. Kiehle was in the

Stdte SupG. ~. IL. hleHle WAS III vi
city last Thursday and spent the da.
in visiting aid inspecting the publi
schools. In the evening there was
meeting of the school board at which
Supt. Kiehle made number of sug
gestions. He says that at the present
time, there are about twelve schools
in the state, that in a rigid classified
ton could be properly designated as
High Schools: that there are about
thirty other schools that are III al
experimental" condition, schools IN
which there is scarcity of material
and in which the preparatory work
has not been done as thoroughly rs 1t
should have been, but which are now
doing fairly well to improve present
! unfayorable conditions and are upon
the road to ultimate success. The
Morris school is one of the latter
class. What it needs to make it all
that 1T should be is more thorough
cooperation of parents with teachers
and officers, more regular atten-
dance and more studious habits on
the part ofpupils and more thorough
course of preparatory instruction. To
fit the average child for high school
work an eight years course is needed.
Heretofore, but six years course has
existed in the Morris Schools between
the beginning of the work and the
high school and efforts are now being
made to bring about the desired
change. An iideal high school, or
such an one as Is contemplated and
recognized by the law of the state can
be maintained in village of the di-
mansions of Morris only by the uni.
ted and harmonious efforts of all con-
cerned. Of course school which
may be called high school can ex-
ist under almost any circumstances
but to have high school in fact as
well as in name, care and support is
needed. Let Morris have high
school in fact. A name is of no value.
The TRIBUNE does not believe in
keeping up constant fusillade upon
railroads and other corporations for
tue purpose of winning favor with q
class of unthinking people with whom
such work is popular, but when there
is anything radically wrong, we be-
lieve in stating it clearly and concise
Iy, that the evil may be corrected.
Lately, the TRIBUNE has given pub
licity to number of the exorbitant |
freight charges OF the Manitoba road
and can give many more. Not long
ago Mr.. Good bought one dozen cane |
seated chairs in La Crosse. The |
freight from La Crosse to st. Paul was
so cents, while the freight from st.
Paul to Morris was $2.1O. The chairs
were shipped released" too, which
is supposed to diminish freight
charges one half. This is extortion
pure and simple. 1t costs the TRIB-
JNE from six to seven tenths as much
to get its print paper from st. Paul to
Morris by freight, as t,does to send
hat same print, after being made in
20 newspapers, all over the country
through the mails. Lumber rates are
md always have been high, but seem
% be constantly climbing upward.
Upon one car load recently received
rom Anoka (rate same as from Min
leapolis) the freight was $54.40. This
amount is an over-charge of over 5000
n addition to regular rates. These
ire not isolated instances, but are
amples of the freight charges being
made every day, and will give people
IN idea of the manner in which the
ailroads are bleeding them. The at
ention of the railroad officials is fire.
luently called to these matters, and
he Indifference they show In regard
o them makes the over-charges and
he high charges but little better than
heft. 1t is very evident that the
abroad will never voluntarily re-
luce its rates to reasonable figure,
nd that some outside power must be
'rought to bear. If the board of rail-
Dad and warehouse commissioners
AVE the disposition and the power
O accomplish anything, they should
re importuned at once. If not, let
hat agitation be commenced neces-
AIRY for the production of public
eminent that will result in the right
lind of a legislature, year hence.
f nothing but an iron clad law will
uf1ice, let's begin the work necessary ,
o produce it.
1t has been discovered that the pro-

therefore,, take this means of an
that the ho4r. for the present
will remain unchanged. 1880 is the l
