To the Voters OF School Dist. No 3:
The course of study in our High
school as adopted in 1881 included
the study Of Latin and Greek. Our
force of teachers has remained the
same since that time while our
scholars have year by year reached
higher grades until in the present
year, for the first time all the grades
are ffilled. This has naturally Great
ed quite number of additional
classes, over those in existence q.
the adoption of the course and has
made more work than four teachers
can properly attend to. In Sept.
last the board suspended the course
of 1881 and substituted one which
omitted the study Of the classics.
This was made necessary by the
large and increased number of class
es which made it impossible for the
teachers to do justice to all. The
board is of the opinion, when cir
cumstances compel the abridgment
of a course that ii should be done
by dropping the higher studies and
not any of the fundamental COM
mon school studies. In order how
ever to do all that can be done for
our scholars with our present means,
the following schedule has been
al opted for use in the high school
during the balance of the school
year:
C. GRADE
lst. Arithmetic, Grammar and Geography.
I'd. " Physiology. and u. s. History.
Sd. bookkeeping, Y. $. Hist. Eng. Comp
Il. CRAZE.
ist. Algegra. Physics. Latin,
I'd. Eng Literature, Latin.
Sd. Chemistry, Latin.
A. GRADE.
LIST. Geometry. Gen. History, Latin.
Sd. -
Any scholar in Grades A and can take In
stead of Latin, any study which pupils of anoth.
Ter Grade are studying at the time.
In order to carry out our orr
gional course and to give the best
facilities to teachers and scholars
for successful work, it viii be neces-
sary to provide additional school
room and another teacher. This
will require increased expediture,
which the board does not feel justi-
fed in mourning without first OBJ
the sense Of the tax pay
ers thereon, especially as obligations
for teachers etc, already assumed
will entirely exhaust the available
revenue for the present year Any
temporary settlement of this ques-
ton would be unsatisfactory and
and therefore the board
submits the question of additional
school room and teaching force and
of a permanent course of study to
the judgment and decision of the
voters of the district at their next
annual meeting.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

On last Sunday morning courier
arrived in this city post-haste for
DR.. }. G. Comfy to attend case of
poisoning. 1t seems that Mr.. Sher-
man Clyde, an old and respected
citizen of the county, living four
miles south of the city, had deliber-
ately attempted to take his own life
by swallowing dose of laudanum
and strychnine. After swallowing
the poison he told his family what
he had done and suggested that they
inform the neighbors, which infor-
nation was given, he said, so that
no charge of the poisoning could be
laid to them. The neighbors were
at once aroused and at the same
time the courier as above stated sent
to this city for DR.. Comfy. The DR..
lost no time in getting to Mr. Clyde's
residence where he found him suf-
fering the agonies of death from the
effects of the poison. Prompt reme-
dies were at once administered and
the patient was soon out of danger
and his life spared. 1t is supposed
that domestic troubles led Mr.. Clyde
to commit this rash act. He had a
sale Of his personal property last
week and was to start for Ogden,
Utah, in a few days, where he in
tended to locate, and quarrel with
his family, who refused to 60 with
him, is no doubt what precipitated
the attempt at suicide. although he
must have previously contemplated
taking his life, as the bottle of lau,
danum from'which ne took the al
most fatal dose was labeled Ogden,
Utah, where he had been recently to
look up a location. Mr.. Clyde was
in town Saturday and bought ten
grains of strychnine at DR.. Talcott's
drug store, stating that he wanted it
to poison rats. The strychnine was
mixed with the laudanum, he no
doubt thinking that it would cause
death quicker. This was fortu-
nate mistake of his, as we are in
formed by physician that one of
these poisons is an antidote for the
other, which no doubt assisted the
attending physician in averting the
deadly effect of the dose
