c.. A. Duerler's Steam Candy
Factory.

During the last few months many im-
provements and additions have been
made to the manufacturing industries of
San Antonio, among which may be NEIL
toned the addition bv Mr. Duerler of a
perfect steam candy manufacturing ma
chinery. Since this addition to Mr..
Duerler's large establishment he has been
enabled to double the output of his man
ufactured goods, and by the fine con-
struction of the same every article
known to candy manufacture, from the
cheap candy to the finest French goods
are turned out with a rapidity and ex-
cellence astonishing. By this addition
to Mr.. Duerler's establishment the re-
taller or middle man will be benefited,
as it will enable him to manufacture his
goods much quicker and at less expense.

Largest Wholesale Sa d dIery
House in the Southwest.

With the general prosperity and en-
largement of business houses, the above
house has taken step forward in their
line, and they now OCCUPY an establish
ment just twice the size of one year ago,
with double the capacity for manufac-
turing goods i'll the saddlery trade.
Since Mr.. STRAUSS, one of the most genial
business men in our city, has taken charge
of the establishment marked improve
ment has taken place in the extent of
businessstransacted by the house; new
machinery of the latest design and best
improvements for manufacturing purpo-
ses, has been added, and he now has in
press the handsomest catalogue of about
400 pages, ever turned out by any firm
i'll Texas. II will contain cuts of all the
different styles of harness and saddles
manufactured by the house, which will
assist the trade very materially in order
ing goods Mr.. Strauss informs us that
it will be ready for mailing about Feb
ruaryssI, 1891, and is worthy the atten-
ton of all dealers who desire a complete
catalogue Of saddlery, etc. A few words
concerning the ability of the house and
we will close. During the last San An,
tonic fair they carried off all premiums
over competitors, and the universal
opinion of not only the judges but the
public in general was that it was the
finest display of saddles, harness and
saddlery goods ever exhibited at fair
The most intricate and difficult work,

proves that l. Frank is in the from,

EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
An Efficient Public School
system.


Statistics Showing Their Growth
and Development--Pro for
Their Eniargement--Pro
Made in Six Years--De-
nominational Schools
Private academies.
San Antonio stands second to
no city in Texas in the efficiency
of her public schools. This is
equally true of her educational in
situations of a private and rellg
ieus character. AS to her public
schools, however, there is ample
testimony from the lips of the
best instructors from other states
to their very high character.
This testimony includes efficiency
of government, thoroughness OF
instruction and perfection of
grading. The monthly examina.
ton papers, as well as the annual
ones, show high standard Of ex-
cellence as well as a very rigid
and searching examination. These
examinations being both in mat
ter and manner unknown to the
pupils beforehand, and being con-
Quoted throughout by teachers
other than the regular instructors
of the classes examined, there is
no possibility ofany collision and
the papers filed can be taken as
an absolute test of scholarship
in the studies under review.
The teachers of classes under eX-
animation are not permitted in
the rooms where such examina-
tons are being conducted. The
questions are put upon the board
by one teacher, and the papers of
the pupils examined are given
into the hands of a different teach.
er for marking, so that there is no
chance of favoritism, discrimina-
ton or exceptional consideration
in the case of any pupil. The
work of the schools under the
superinteadency of Prof. Smith is
carried on very Systematically,
and perfect supervision in per
son where practicable, by proxy
where not practicable, is main
tanned. The spirit of school work
iscatching, and the teachers have
become enthusiastic workers with
their superintendent in carrying
out his plans and making the en-
tire work of the schools a unit.
During the past five years a sys.
tematic movement has gone Tor
ward in the direction ofa perfect
grading of the schools, and the
work thoagh still incomplete is
thorough as far as it has been car
ried. Three years more would per-
feet it and give the city the best
graded public schools of any city
in the south; OF, if u OF this, schools
that would acknowledge no supe-
riors, and which would stand
ready to make good that claim.
San Antonio has not far from
$4,000 children of school age, on
the basis of scholastic enrolment
established by the state, viz: from
six to eighteen years. The scho-
lastic population according to the
standard fixed by the city is TO-
154; the school age thus estab-
lished being from eight to sixteen
years. 1t is upon the basis of en-
rollment established by the state
that the school funds of the state
are apportioned, and San Anto-
MOS superiority in population is
at once made manifest by com.
parison of the funds apportioned
to the several cities, as Sc an from
the following tabulated statement:
