FOR a SCHOOL AT THE ALMslIoUsE.
Mr.. Ianes Thinks that u Teacher Should
be Employed

Mr.. j. o. Hancs, president of the
board of commissioners CT the poor,
said yesterday that school teacher
was needed at the almshousc. 1t would
cost the city nothing except board. as
Mr.. Chiffon, the superintendent, would
pay the salary himself in order to get
his own children in school.
There are at the almShouse now sew
eral little orphaned children. They
were sent to the county school last
winter, but because Of their being pau
pers other children treated them so
badly that they had to be stopped.
The matter was mentioned by Mr..
Hanes to ono of the councilmen, but
that gentleman seemed to view the
question in the light OF benevolent in
stitution, and said tho city was not run
ming anything of that kind.
Mr.. Hanes thinks these children
Should be given an education. The city
has no right to send them to the county
school, and the fact that the expense
Will be almost nothing, warrants him
to believe that tho Council should grant
the request.
