INSTITUTE JOTTINGS.

Yesterday was another one of those fine
days for which Kansas is noted, and it is
noticeable that all bodies are affected by
the weather In dull, gloomy weather
teachers and scholars are gloomy, but with
bright weather the members are brighter
and show more energy than at any other
time. 1t was evident TO all yesterday in the
classes in arithmetic by the promptness
with which they responded.
Factoring was explained, and also some
ideas of the use of the figure nine, which
was new to some, and worthy of place in
the note books.
In history there was large amount of
work done In the two classes Mr.. Jay re-
viewed the Freuch and Lillian wars, causes
of the revolution, history o: quite mum
Der of prominent men, such rs Washington
Jeffeeson; Franklin and Morn, was given.
| In Mr.. Shulfs room he pointed out one fact
that is noticed by but few, that is, that the
histories of Rome and those old countries
and of England were simply histories of
continuous wars, and it was so with the
earlier histories of the United States, but
the later historians begin to show that the
arts and time Of peace should be recognized
as important points to be remembered.
The classes in physiology were put
over the ground in a rapid manner.
Digestion being The subject, the members
are getting in their work in good shape and
with the help of charts to illustrate the sub
ject are getting good understanding of
physiology.
Glass in constitution had the senate under
consideration; the number of senators, time
of service. citizenship, etc, also the powers
and duties; the question of succession was
slightly touched upon.
The classes in reading were very interest
ing. Mr. Pence takes quite an interest in
his classes. He has class in gymnastics
that can knock it out in good shape and |
think that at the end of the term they can
turn about, wheel about and do just so, and
every time they wheel about, will jump
Jim Crow.
Mr.. Hammond's class In philosophy had
attraction for its subject. Adhesion, cohe
sion, solution, diffusion. capillary attraction
and gravity were explained by the class,
also by Mr.. Hammond
In bookkeeping they have commenced a
a set of transactions for practice in the
journal and ledger Mr. Hammond's
method of teaching bookkeeping is very
plain and practical and in other institutes
has given the best of satisfaction.
Yesterday ended the first week and inn
provement can be seen in all the classes.
Our number has been increased TO 142.
which is a large number for the first week
when we take into consideration the unfav
orable state of the roads Next week there
will be an increased attendance and then

ABOUT w1CH1TA,s SCHOOLS.
Where and How Relief is to Soon Con

[ w uSX0 t1uu 0OW h0l10I Is 10 OOOu OOlu6.
Few of Wichitas Institutions, private or
public, have been enabled to keep pace
with the onward stride and marvellous
growth of the city. The city as a whole
has continually kept far in advance of its
single and individual interests. The post
office for instance has been almost contin-
ually in the lurch, away behind, never hav-
ing half enough facilities for the service ex-
pected of it. The government itself has
failed to keep this one interest up to the
demands Of the town and its continued
growth. So with the water works. street
| car lines, ETC., about which the people have
been want now and then to offer criticisms
So too with churches and halls, ETC., and
with street lights, street improvements, ETC.
In the matter of schoOl-houses and facili-
ties, the boards, although unstintedly sup
piled with funds, have found it almost i'm
possible to meet the ever increasing demand
coming of a rapidly multiplying popula-
ton. For the first three or five years
Ia series Of wooden buildings
were rapidly put up. Later, the beard
Erected two or three very large and fine
permanent brick buildings, which they vain
ly hoped would meet the demand made up
on them But Wichita kept growing and
the board kept putting up another and an
other fine school building until six great
permanent two and three story bricks have
been erected with the seventh now in
course of construction.
But we see promise OF relief in the near
future, which will not only be relief to
some extent to the public tax roll but to
the heretofore crowded condition OF our
public schools Already, and daily are APP
plications being made for admission to the
Lewis academy until its founders are fear
ing Jam like unto that OF the public
schools. This roOmy, beautiful and
really magnificent structure will catch an
overflow or element which would incvlta-
bly, have sought higher facilities than those
afforded by the public schools. THIS fine
institution will be opened this fall Just in
time to give relief in the direction in
dicated. Its location will prove
most happy one, right in the
heart Of the city, as convenient in
every particular as either of the public
school buildings.
| The Lewis Academy then will offer one
relief and that Immediately. But within a
year or so the great University on the other
side will be ready to receive another over
! flow Although this last institution is
designated not only as a state but inter
state school, nevertheless there will be
gathered within its walls a large number of
Wichita's youth who otherwise would
! spend more or less time in the public
schools, we therefore congratulate the
school board not only upon the very salts
factory relief which is sure to come to them
but the tax payers who, both as to building
funds and teachers wages, which will be
relatively lightened and ameliorated

SCENES IN WICHITA.

Through the courtesy of the Enterprise
Publishing company we are enabled to
present several Wichita street scenes to-
gether with portraits of prominent citizens
We only desire in this connection to say
that the scenes are engravings made from
photographs by the Moss process. No
camera can do street scene justice, from
the fact that the immediate foreground.
which is always necessarily an open space
or an open street is made the most promi-
nent while the perspective dwindles away
All the street scenes in illustrated papers
are from pencil sketches. We give this
morning the portrait of VIM. Grietfenstein,

Douglas avenues looking east, and the per

WHO MISTAKEN

We observe that the Hon. Neal Dow de-
MES that he is masquerading in Democratic
costume and denounces the gentleman who
intimated such thing as deliberate lar
This indicates two things: first, that the
General is losing his temper and departing
from that calmness and suavity of speech for
which he has ever been noted; and secondly
that he hasn't examined his political cloth
ing carefully. Of course Gen. Dow Or
dinarily would have said that the gentleman
who reported that he was dressed in Dem
ocratic costume was mistaken. But his eff
forts to prove that the best way to promote
the cause of prohibition is to commit it to
the keeping of party which has always
hated it has somewhat umnerved him, and he
has become fretful and impatient All he
meant undoubtedly was that the gentle
man was mistaken.
There is evidently mistake somewhere,
either on the part of Gen. Dow or the gentle
man to whom he alludes in the Argus COM
munication. Gen. Dow appears to have no
doubt that it is the gentleman whom he al
hides to that is mistaken and not himself,
but the Generals convictions are not infalli-

THE BLESSINGS OF FREE TRADE.

Under the influence of Mr. Ralph Beau
monts artfully prepared figures the Argus
has once more become a free trade paper.
The otherday it was inclined to go back on
this doctrine but it has braced up again.
Now while the free trade spell is upon it we
hope it will point out to the farmers and la
boring men the blessings which the Morri-
son tariff bill was designed to confer upon
them and vigorously denounce the Republi-
cans for defeating it.
Now there is hay, which is one of the
largest products of our Maine farmers. At
present it is protected by duty of So per
ton. The Morrison bill proposed to take this
off and open our markets to hay produced
across the Canadian border. If free trade is
a blessing of course the removal of this duty
would have been a great advantage to our
farmers, and the men who work for wages on
their farms. Yet it seems to US that if the
tariff had been taken off and Canadian hay
admitted free of duty there would have been
a much larger supply of hay in
our markets and consequently the tendency
of prices would have been downward. The
farmer would have got less money for his
crop. and consequently he could not have
afforded to pay his laborers SO much for
gathering it. There may be a fallacy here,
and if there is the Democratic papers and
orators should point it out. They haven't
done SO yet, though the subject has been
presented to the people of the State in sub
stantially this form good many times of
late, and haven't attempted to. Perhaps
they have accidentally overlooked it.

is very respectable as well as moderately
venerable association. 1t has just held its
thirteenth annual session at Bethlehem, N.
H., where there was a large attendance of
shifting college presidents, clergymen, doc
tors, lawyers, merchants and bankers. The
doctors of medicine told what things would
not cure hay fever, mentioning the new drug
cocaine especially, but concluded that the
discovery of a real remedy is an achievement
for the future. No one has related what the
doctors of divinity thought but as several of
them spoke, including DR.. McCosh of Prince

of Job and the parable of Lazarus.
