Habitual constipation is not only one
of the most unpleasant, but at the same
time one of the most injurious cOndi-
lions of the human system, and is but a
torerunner of disease, unless removed.
This is usually accomplished by the use
of purgatives, which for the time afford
relief, but after their immediate effects
have passed they leave the system in a
worse state than before. To effect a
cure it is necessary that the remedy
used should be one that not only by its
cathartic effect relieves the Bowels, but
at the same time acts as tonic, SO as to
restore the organs to a sound, healthy
condition. This prickly Ash Bitters
will do. It removes the cause and res
torres health.

Tho dove of rooce docs NOT bova,

The dove of peace does not hover
over school district No. 2 to any
alarming extent. Their annual meet
ing was by no means a 'Iove feast, "
and it begins to look as though the
tone man power" system was drawing
to close, and that the people Of the
district were going to have something
to say about how the affairs Of the dis
trict should be conducted. No notices
were posted for the annual meeting to
be held last Monday, and as some OBJ
iected to having things run on the US
ual plan, the meeting was not held,
and the assembled few dispersed with
out action. This action, we believe,
lets the old officers hold over, but the
necessary business, such as making re-
ports for the old year, and providing
the means for the support Of the
schools during the year to come, will
have to be done at a special meeting,
and this has been called for Saturday
the 18th inst.

form the rather remarkable feat ofdo-
ing well. with moderate sized classes
all the work indicated, wouldn't it be
economy to adopt the modern plan Of
division of labor" and let one teach
er in each building teach all the in
termediate and grammar classes and
concentrate the high school classes in
one room? The weakness Of the coun-
try district schools is the unavoidable
multiplication Of classes 50 the teach
er has little time to best0w on each
class. The teachers Of Superior will
labor against the same difficulty as
long rs they have half a dozen grades
ia each room. We all know that
much better work can be done by
concentrating the time and thought
on few subjects than where it is dis
tributed over many. This coneentra-
ton is accomplished by thorough grad
ing.
As it has done in other towns, this
system Of half classification, and the
Independent districts must give way to
system which shall be a WHOLE
throughout the city, with one man at
the head Of it to see that all parts
work together ia harmony. The con
ditions require it now 1t is as impor-
tant a part Of the city's growth IS the
building Of railroads, mills and eleya-
tors. Both teachers and pupils will
work better under the impulse it gives
to thoroughness and the reward it Of
fers to ambitious effort.
If the present school board do not
believe this plan practicable, or for
any other reason refuse to take steps
. to secure this end, they will eventual
" be succeeded by men who will. The
people once reused to think on this
subject will elect officers who will car
~ out their wishes, just as, last spring,
they deposad q whole town board be-
cause they believed its members had
failed to execute the trust reposed in
them.

could under extremely unfayorable
circumstances Its the SYSTEM I'M
der which these teachers work that /
attack.
That Mr.. Gates has done good and
faithful work as q teacher here no one
will deny. For that work l accord
him all respect and esteem. But, as
he Acknowledges, it has been done I'M
der a very elastic system Of graduation.
The time for that. in Superior, Is now
passing away. The time has come
when better work can be done by the
same teachers under a stricter system
Of classification. Is it best that teach
ers themselves should put Instructions
in the way when the influence of all
the intelligent people in the town IS
needed to overcome the prejudice and
inertia Of the ignorant and Indifferent?
Conservatism is often a good thing,
but it Is sometimes cal-.a3 too far. 1t
is good to respect and r, 5erenco old
methods and institutions for the good
they have done; but it IS also good to
adopt the new when the new Will bet
/ ter serve the ends sought. Good work
was done and is still done under the
ungraded district school system, which
! ours in a great measure resembles; but
| that IS no argument to disproye the
fact that far better work can be done

money where, Is in Superior, the pop
