CHEYENNE ILLUSTRATED, " the report
issued by the board of trade, made its
appearance yesterday, and should receive
judicious distribution. 1t is an excellent
piece of typographical work. Many of
the illustrations are superb. The compil
alton was done by Mr.. Robt. G. Morris, the
territorial stenographer, who has well COW
cred the ground in the short time at his
disposal. The typographical work was
done at the Sun office, and The LEADER
recognizing a good thing when it sees it,
frankly congratulates its contemporary on
the remarkable excellence of the results.
Nothing better illustrates the growth of a
town toward metropolitan proportions
han the excellence of its printing estab
lishments, and outside of the subject
matter and illustrations nothing will con
tribute more to advertise the capabilities
of the city than the fact that such a work
is entirely a home production.

the high school there will be review
classes in English grammar, United States
history. arithmetic and bookkeeping.
Young ladies and gentlemen of school age
in the city, who for want of time are una

the privilege Of taking any or all of these
studies. This will especially benefit young
teachers whose schools have closed and
who desire to raise the grade of their Ger.

magnificent paintings, representing none
but sacred subjects; OF n sculptured prize

of the gospels, and over it hung an ex-

Happily must it be said, however, not
oil the schools come under the direct
supervision Of the government. Govern
melt restraint makes educational matters
Bomething of forbidden fruit, and sweet to
the people accordingly. Most of the edu-
rated, enlightened people, not wholly en-
crossed yet in their own selfish career, are
akiug great and active interest in public
education. Such rural schools as have es-
capped being put under the baleful in
iuence of the uneducated, unambitious
clergy are prospering under the pro-
lection OF liberal minded proprietors
and the provincial zemstvoS; teach
ers are engroSSed by their work; they
often gain over the confidence of children,
organize frequent botanizing and other
parties with them, infringing beyond the
limits set by the text books approved by the
ministry Of public education, and, through
the children, generally succeed in awakening
tie interest Of the parents. This latter end
attained, money is easily collected and LIBRA
ries organized in the villages 70 the mutual
benefit Of young and old alike.
