The never do to-day what can be put
of until Tomorrow" folks seem in the
ascendant in this generation. There is
an evident tendency to shirk duty, bust
ness, responsibility, and all else that is
demanded Of a young man. The habits
of the fathers, in too many instances,
have not descended to their sons, who
seem to take 1t for granted that things
will somehow or another take care of
themselves. The boy who shirks natu-
rally gravitates into man who shirks,
and the man who shirks is a dead weight
upon every force OF society. The man,
particularly the young man, who is
charged with any duty should do it
promptly, willingly and to the very best
Of his ability. Don't shirk, young man
II you are overworked, send in your pro-
tests and have the burdens lightened,
but whatever you do, don't merely put
in time. There never was better open
ing in this country for wide-awake, en-
ergetic, brainy young men than to-day,
because there never were so many young
men looking for an eligible position as
some rich mans son-in-law or heir. Dan
Webster's advice that "there is plenty Of
room IN the upper stories" holds good.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
A Few Remarks Upon the Principal
What Is Taught and Required.

Editor San Antonio Light
The High school building ia Of vast
proportion and OF massive and imposing,
setting, or rather standing back from
the street, with ample yard enclosed in
front. MIR. F. NJ. Hslbedl, the principal,
is scholar of attachments OF the first
order, of the most pronounced gravity OF
leok and manner, but with oil the genial
courtesy Of the accomplished gentleman.
There are go pupils on the roll, with
an average attendance OF about 900
There are three different grades In the
High school proper, with an attendance
of pupils not in proportion TO the pGpu-
lation of the city, either scholastic or
numerical. giving evidence Of the high
scholarship required for admission, and
of the want Of the gift Of continuance In
intermediate grades till the point of COM
potency is reached, as well as the gen.
eral public satisfaction with limited
educational standard, there being only
30 pupils in the three departments, hav-
ing two ladies teaching and the princi-
pal half the day. The studies are book
keeping, arithmetic. algebra, geometry,
each of the last three complete. The
course is for three years, including Eng
lish analysis, rhetoric, literature, Ger
man or Spanish. physiology, zoology,
botany, natural philosophy, ancient and
modern history.
The principal was drilling and hearing
class in advanced Natural Philosophy.
The instruction was thorough, and the
Interest of the young gentlemen and
ladies most intense, and searching into
the principles of the science.
In our great metropolitan cities 1t is
not usual to require the principal at the
head of an institution OF the attendance
of 500 scholars to do any teaching, his
whole time being demanded for super
visory work. In San Francisco nearly
double the salary is allowed.
In the subordinate departments there
are four different grammar grades nine
rooms with nine teachers; also a pri-
mary grade Of 20 wards. There are IL
regular class teachers. besides two for
Spanish and German, who are busy all
day Three Of.the teachers are men, the
principal being the fourth.
An examination of this school will &C.
cupy the last week of May; when par
ents and the friends of education will
have an opportunity of rare intellect
ual treat, and of encouraging great
work. ALUMNUs.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, lOins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-

the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
