There are two classes Of educated
persons; the one who uses his edu.
cation in some way for the good Of
society, and the one who, at least rs
far as human vision can observe,
does not. Sometimes the latter sort
Of person gives = few sparks Of light
to an intimate friend, but aside from
this the world il no better for his
knowledge. II is part Of Az educa-
ton to be able to put knowledge to
some practical use, and he who does
not cultivate this ability in getting
an education gets that which can do
the public little good and would in
crease by the using. How large the
number of the latter class is may be
hard to tell, but we find those who
are believed to be of this sort in
every town. Teachers should strive
constantly to overcome this retiring
predisposition wherever found. Tell
the pupils that increased education
brings increased responsibility and
that more is demanded Of the ed
ucated than Of the uneducated per
son.

We stated last week that the comment published in the Leader was
misleading. We referred to the statement that a large portion Of this en-
ormous sum shown in his report was for salaries and debts contracted last
year, evidently trying to create the impression that there were large debts

should not have objected, for that was, doubtless, true. In the second

people want to know now is this years expenses. In April the same
thing was published. which was proper enough, it being the first quarter
as to hide this years expenses under the coak, "a great deal Of this was
contracted last year" This may be shrewd journalism, but it is not hon
est. We have said that we would nakea fair report, but had no idea,
when We undertook the task, to be able to show that the expenses were
greater this year than last. We simply hoped to show that the expenses
over which the administration has control are as great now as last year.
greater this year than last, but there are many why they should be less.
The increased bounty on wolf scalps, the creation Of the Auditors Office
aud the Cassidy murder case are reasons why the expenses Of this year
might be the greater; but the above table includes nothing in that case
but expenses incurred before the coroners jury, amounting to about
sos, besides officers fees, and the wolf bouniies Gan alliance measure)
reason why expenses should DO less, are, as we understand 1t, as follows:

We earnestly invite your attention. to what we
are going to say and do. We do not divide our
time but give it all to the interest of our business,
and what will be our business will be to your in
terest. Our whole life has been in this business;
we have familiarized ourselves as to latest styles,
patterns and colors now in use. Our store was
never so crowded before with both goods and Gus
toners, and we invite every one to call and look
them over, whether you buy or not. We bought
this stock with one particular aim-that there
should be none better, and an absolute certainty
that no better prices shall be offered you any
where, because we can sell and do sell these goods
as close as it is possible that they should be sold.
You will get full value for every dollar you in
vest. These little savings here and there in ad-
dition to the quality Of the goods certainly makes
the Palace Store a profitable place for you to trade.
We take a great pride in our dress goods and
trimmings department; we have one room devot-
ed entirely to ready-made clothing, hats and caps,
boots and shoes. No eastern house can fit you
up nicer nor better than we can. Bear in mind
that we sell at one price and that the lowest.
Thanking you for past favors, etc.

In former years, three reports
have been made out during the year
by each teacher. For the present
year this would mean eighteen re-
ports for our schools. An attempt
to ascertain some facts concerning
the schools in other years showed
such = system to be almost useless.
For this reason, we have undertaken
the task Of making a report OF the
school ss . whole, based on the re-
ports Of the various rooms. The
plan is a good one, its only objec-
tionable feature being the extra
work required Of the principal, and
il should be made permanent.

The following table is Intended TO compare the expenses incurred by
the present administration during tho first six months OF ito existence
with those incurred under "ring rule" during the same six months last
ually for expenses incurred during the previous year. We have, there
fore, begun our expenses Tor each year with the first session Of the board
after the January session. We have taken our figures from the Auditors
Disbursement Register, beginning with the first bills allowed at the Feb
rusry session, beginning February Is, 1880, as shown on page As Of said
book, and have included all bills up to and including the July session OF
said year, for the first six months of 1890.
For this reform" year we have begun with the first bills allowed at
the February session Of this year on February q, 1891, and have inclnd'
Cd everything allowed up to The close Of the July session.
The auditor has not classified the accounts allowed at the last session
Of the board yet, and our classification N taken from the proceedings
published may not be perfect, but that makes no difference with the
grand total. A great deal Of figuring has been required to compile this
table, and il is possible that small mistakes have occurred without our
knowledge and desire, but if that be the case, they are as apt to DO in Ia
vr Of The reform" administration as against it. The report is correct
