The freights paid at this de-

Our city Schools.

The winter term OF our city
schools closed last Friday for a
weeks vacation. The general YER
diet is that the schools were never
in better running order than now.
Superintendent Sylvester, and his
associates on the school board, have
given close and intelligent atten-
tion to their duties. Principal Cab
anis has proved efficient in an emf
nent degree; fully realizing the
expectations of the Board, and
justifying the reputation that pre-
ceded him, as a "master in his pro-
fession."
Within the current year our High
School has been placed on the ac-
credited list of the State University,
and our graduates hereafter will be
admitted to the freshman class of
that great institution without exam
ination. The State Superintendent,
to whom was submitted the course
of studies prepared for the High
School by Prof. Cabanis, states that
from no school of the state has a
better or more practical list of
studies been presented. 1t is such
a course, according to this high
authority. as will fs the pupil for
either successful continuance of
study, or well equip him for the
affairs Of life if he cannot have
further school advantages In other
words, the student completing the
course prepared by Prof. Cabanis
for the Mineral Point High School
has, in the opinion of the State
Superintendent, a complete education
so far as it extends, and such as will
fit him well for any position in life,
if he has the native ability and
energy to improve the opportunities
that America offers.
1t should be the first care Of our
people to maintain this excellence
in our schools. To insure this, it is
important that a competent and
watchful city superintendent be
chosen at the election next Tuesday.
No one should be elected to that
position who is not certainly and
heartily in accord with the progress
siye, practical ideas that now con
troll in the management Of our
schools.
It is expected that Republican
and Democratic city tickets will be
nominated. On the former viii be
placed a competenJ and devoted
candidate, and should the Demo.
Gratis put forward as good q man.
the important interests Of our
schools will continue to be in safe
hands, and their highly creditable
character will be maintained
