Election.

Election in Johnston was earnest and
animated, and Irons Hall was thronged

The Times.

II has not been the habit of the TIMRs
10 talk very much about itself IL goes
on the theory that if IL has any merits
they will be recognized by the community
in time; no, as quickly M it's imperfec-
tions, for the reason. perhaps, that the
latter are more apparent. The paper
has now been issued for nearly nine
months, long enough to convince most
people that il means business and has
come TO stay. Its publishers are well
aware of the fact that il is not above
criticism. and that IL is capable Of
improvement in many ways. The paper
has been very well received 10y the
people of Olneyville and vicinity. The
business men have recognized IL as an
advertising medium that must necessari-
ly be beneficial Ia their interests 20 use,
and the manner in which il has been
supported by them in its infancy is very
crediiable to their public spirited desire
to see anything started in Olneyville n
success. The circulation Of the TTNEs
has shown steady gain. thorough
canvas for subscribers has not vet been
made, but subscriptions have come into
the office in way that is convincing To
the publishers that there Is room for n
local paper right here in this busy and
enterprising suburb. One dollar per
annum is not n large sum TO invest in
maintaining what we might air oct call n
public benefit. II should be understood
that the columns of the TIMEs arr open
to any one who wishes to discuss ques-
tions of interest To the community and
town. and "lctters from the people" viii
be thankfully received. In short. the
TIMEs has cndeayorcd 10 faithfully live
up to the few promises made in It's initial
number. 1t would IN pursuing the even
tenor Of it's way thank everybody who
has 10y his cooperation made our venture
SAVIOR somewhat of success.

SglIoolsin Johnston.

The report Of Professor Wilson. super
intcndent Of schools Of Johnston, which
appeared in the daily press last week,
has been very widely read. ana the force
and truth Of the statements il contains
have been very generally acknow owledged.
a live. growing and prosperous town
like Johnston cannot afford 10 be behind
the times much longer in the matter Of
public schools. IL may be hard for some
people 10 realize that il is; they think
perhaps, that the schools and school
houses that were good enough fov them
ought 20 be for their children; but such
people. if there are any, must remember
that times have changed and improve
ments have been madein the methods and
appliances Of education az well as every
thing else. when We read in Professor
Wilson's report that ofthe sixteen school
buildings in the town only three can he
called good. and one of these doubtfully
good. it is time for the people Of the town
20 begin to think about a better state oi
things. Instances of families moving
from Johnston into the city in order q
secure better educational facilities fof
their children are no: rare. and The
/ question has a side that must appeal Il
those who wish 10 see the town filing uT
with a good, intelligent and desirabl'
class Of people. One Of the fret things
the town should do IL 20 abolish th,
district system and put the entire car,
7 and charge Of the schools into the hands
of capable committee. and from theii
number a superintendent be selected n
I have direct oversight and care Of the
schools. The district system il relic o
our grsndiathers' days, aud il an almos
T insurmountable barrier 90 any great
efficiency ia the schools. This old fogy
system has been abolished by statute IL

IL il only matter. Of time when Rhode
leland must follow in the lead. There i
no argument in favor a. retaining th'
system and many for rejecting i.. severs

fact that they have the best schools In the
State outside Of the cities. East Provi-
denee. harrington. North Providence and
Westerly are trying the new system With
marked success. We do not wish 10 be
understood thxt we think Johnston has
the worst schools in the State but.sccord-
inc to the report of the superintendent IL
has some of the worst school houses.
The town is fortunate in having the
services of capable and efficient super
intendent, who is alive TO the wants NJ
the schools and conversant with the best
and most modern methods Of teaching.
Doubtless many of the teachers are also
we'll qualified and competent, but the
best teachers cannot be obtained under
the present system as there is an oppor-
tunity for favori,ism in their selection
that is not So likely TO occur when the
appointments are made 10y a school
board or a superintendent. II is hardly
possible that even conservative Rhode
Island will allow the district system to
continue much longer within its borders.
AS stated above most of the New England
states have abolished it by statute, and
Johnston should anticipate that event
ia this State and place itself in the front
rank with those towns that have adopted
more progressive measures.

the arduous duties Of the position with
some apt remarks. and first called on
Judge w. A. Phillips TO speak ON The
Business Mems Association of olneyville,
as the man who was best able to do the
subject justice. Judge Phillips spoke OF
the trials and triumphs of the association
and of his strong faith that il would in
time accomplish all that the most san
guine members hoped for. The toast
master then spoke of that Archimedian
lever. the press, and concluded 10y reading
n letter from Charles l.. Lincoln. the
talented Providence correspondent of the
Boston Herald. who was for some time
the Journals olneyville representative.
The letter was "A characteristic effort and
called forth much mirth. In calling on
Mr.. Frank Irons, Toastmaster Whipple
said that there was talk at one time of
making Johnston ward of the city and
Mr.. Irons was the proposed alderman of
the eleventh ward. The prospective
alderman made some interesting remarks
in regard TO olneyville holding the
outlying trade, and concluded 10y saying
that he looked forward 10 the time when
there would be Wholesale house estab-
lished here. A genuine alderman was
then int, reduced. Alderman John Casey
Of the Tenth Ward, who said that
Providence had many advantages but IL
was to be congratulated most on it's
proximity 10 Olneyville. Mr.. G. LThomas,
of the firm Of Taylor, Symonds 4 Co,
made most interesting speech that
contained many complimentary things
about olneyville enterprise. Mr.. Albert
Il. Mansfield, president of the town council
of North Providence, then made brief
address. and was followed 10y Councilman
Covillc who spoke of the action soon to
be taken by the city government in
relieving 0lncyville Square of the deluge
that accompanies every heavy rain. Mr.
Iinckley, of Providence, talked in most
sensible manner, and w. ID. Harris res
ponded TO n call for "the secretary"
Mr.. Samuel Whitley, Of the Providence
Butchers and Marketmen's Association.
made first class speech which was
loudly applauded. Mr.. George Leonard
spoke of Olne, ville thirty years ago.
Representative Walch. of Johnston, was
called on but he thought II would be
better To preserve discreet silence until
after election. Mr.. u. j. Collins was
called upon 10 speak for the drug business
aud did il in good shape. Remarks were
also made 10y j. A. Angcll II. Il. Melvin,
Frank F,zsimmons, Edward Kirby of
the journal and Mr.. Walcb of the Tcle-
gram. II was nearly II o'clock when
these interesting post prandial exercises
were concluded aud IL is safe To say that
every member Of the association went
home with feeling of satisfaction at the
succcss Of the first annual banquet

The promises of the beautiful litho-
graphs and the advance advertising We're
literally fulfilled at the presentation of
"Ihe Corsair' at the Grand Opera House
last night. 1t is the most gorgeous
spectacle that has been seen here in a
long time. The pretty girls are very
many in number, the costumes are
dreams of delightful color, the scenery Of
an unusually gorgeous character and the
piece itself tumble of nonsense and fun
which only Edward l.. Rice has the
audacity to compound. There are more
puns in "TEe Corsair" than 20 trained
punsters could evolve in twelvcmonth ;
and they date from the reign of the
Pharaohs down to the present time. The
mechanical devices for raising a laugh
are almost as complicated and ingenious
as the verbal machines. The lines are

The person must be ignorant indeed
who has resided any length of time in the
thickly settled portion of Johnston and
not heard of the Rough & Ready Fire
Company. Organized nearly two years
ago, no society or association probably
ever existed in this section that assumed
the proportion and become 10 be looked
upon as part of the town itself as quickly
as this company, and all because the
object of IL IL the public welfare and
protection, and that II does without pay,
voluntarily, what the people should be
taxed for. Many have appreciated the
service and from their purses more than
paid their proportiona,c part for It's
maintenance. Every town should guar
antee TO those paying taxes to It's treasury
ample fire protection by well paid
department. With taxable property In
School districts I and IS valued at two
and one half millions of dollars and ~
| thickly settled as this section ", II is 10
! be wondered at that the town Of Johnston
|
had paid department years ago-when
Providence, adjoining, has one of the
best fire departments in the country.
Fire duty at it, best Is far from pleasant,
and where paid departments exist, and
they do In towns much smaller than
Johnston, the remuneration the frcmen
receive Is small In most cases for the
risks the laddics run while In service.
No matter how well volunteer fire
company is maintained IL Is impossible
for II 20 have that degree OF efficacy that
a paid company can have, so lenicnt
public must overlook any deficiency Of
our home protection from fire, recollect-
ing that simply 10 afford the best service
in their power and Try and provide what
the town has been 40 dilatory In furnish
ing is what they will give. II may not be
generally known that for some time
Johnston has been paying about 8ftO
per year 20 the City Of Providence for
fire hydrants that without The X. Il x.
volunteer company would be entirely
useless. The work was we'll begun by the
placing OF these hydrants for use, on the
principal streets, and strangers looking
for building lots, seeing fire hydrants,
would very naturally without any inquiry
be led 10 suppose that the town afforded
fire protection, but such has not been the
case from the town for q single day since
the towns Incorporation.
