BEATTY's PIANOS AND ORGANS.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great
Organ and Piano man of Washing
ton, N. j., is buster than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home penni-
less pillow boy, and by his indomita-
BILE will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far nearly 100000 of
Beatty's Pianos and Organs since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary
man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. His instruments are in
use everywhere. We are informed
that during the next ten years he in
tends to sell 100000 more of his
make; that means a business of $780,
100000 if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest bust
ness of its kind in existence. Read
his advertisement.

The second paper is by ALI. Long:
Ladies and gentlemen: You have
seen from the preceding exercises
what the pupils of the public school
have done during the year.
This paper is prepared to show
how strong and constant has been the
interest of the entire city in its wei
fare, and to show how that interest
has been manifested.
The following gentlemen have
shown their interest IN us by visiting
the school and by addressing us:
Mr.. Lawrence, who was formerly
superintendent of the Nashville
schools, SAID that he was like Wash
ington Irving, in that his extreme
modesty prevented him from making
a speech. He thought that Irving
bad the advantage of him, however,
because Irving could at least write
speech, while he could do neither.
Mr.. Lawrence disproved his state
ment by making a delightful adj
dress.
Rev. Mr.. Layton was next TO ad-
dress US.
Rev. Mr.. Hoffman chose for his
subject the word "crank." He said
that although Goodyear was called
crank when he tried 10 invent a rub.
Der overshoe that would retain its
shape in winter and summer, he
proved benefacter to mankind by
succeeding in his invention.
Mr.. Sporleder gave us history of

Eddy note: Mr.. B. D. Thorner was
in town during the week, and informs
the Citizen that he has at present a
force of $50 hands gathering canaigre
root. Mr.. Thorner has already ship
ped to London about 800 tons. The
demand for this root is largely in ex-
cess of the supply. Canalgre is fast
taking the place of everything else
in the tanning and dyeing business.
The shrinkage of this root is so great
that it takes three tons of it in the
green state to make one when dried.
But at the present price, $5o,i would
seem to Us to be about as profitable
a crop as our farmers could raise.
There is no question as to the yield
it will give.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
PUBLIC School Work.

The two following papers, con-
tanning statements as to the
work of the public school for the
past year, were read by two of the
scholars yesterday, and are of such
general interest that we reproduce
them here. The first was by Chas.
A. Thayer, jr.:
WORK OF THE UPPER GRADES.
Ladies and Gentlemen: AT the
request of Prof. Doty the pupils of
the higher grades have prepared the
following statement of the work
done by them during the year. We
can do little more than present a
brief outline of the subjects passed
over, for to go into detail would oc-
cupy too much of your time and be
of little interest to any one. The
highest grade has completed the
work as laid down in the course of
study for the first year of high
school course. Grammar, American
history, physical geography and arith-
metic have been completed. Arith-
metic, the study which has required
our greatest effort, has proved to be
the most interesting to the majority
of students. We have met the same
difficulties that all students meet, and
have overcome them by the same
means, namely, hard work. In per
centage we discovered that it is much
easier to calculate upon a standing
of 100 per cent than to attain it. In
capital stock many of us fell below
par. Taxes taxed our best powers.
Interest sometimes failed to hold the
interest of all. Can you wonder,
then, that our teachers are not salts
fed with our present WORTH We
can not estimate it, but we feel GER
tain that it is greater than that of
ten months ago. Success in arithme-
tic, perhaps more than in any other
of our studies, has depended on the
way we have prepared the previous
work. Each step depends on the
preceding, and one failure leads to
more. Perhaps no portion proved
as interesting as did analysis. Here
pure reason and independence were
necessary. After finishing the
book a thorough review was taken
and we now stand ready to move on
to higher mathematics
Algebra, too, has had its attrac'
tions. We have mastered the fun
damental operations, and have gone
through the subjects of factoring,
multiples, fractions and simple and
fractional equations. We have been
over, under and above, but not
through submission, attraction, vo-
cation, condition and tribulations.
The study of Reed d Kellogg's
English grammar, as taken up at the
beginning of the year by class of
II from the 9Th and 9th grades, has
been continued to the present time.
the subjects treated have been SEN
tential analysis, diagraming, parsing
and the correction of sentences under
the rules of syntax. Numerous
class contests between the boys on
one side and the girls on the other
have given keenness and pleasure TO
our work. The year closed with a
thorough review of technical gram
mar and definitions.
Reading was begun by taking up
Washington Irving's "Legend of
Sleepy Hollow" one of his best
stories, which is told in his witilly,
playful manner. His descriptive
Las Vegas free press. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1891-1???, 1892-07-02

his essays are found in his "Sketch
Book" As we read an authors
works we try to discover some of his
peculiarities of style. Longfellow's
"Tales of a Wayside Inn" were next
read. LongfelIow's best poems were
found to be "Hiawatha," "The
Psalm of Life" "Courtship of Miles
Standish," and "Evangeline."
Each member of the reading class
reproduced one of Longfellow's
poems, such as "The Bell of Atri"
and 1.-THE Birds of Killingworth."
Shakespeare, the greatest dramat-
list the world has ever known, was
next introduced to our class. His love
for nature and the study of people
whom he met, made him so express
himself as to reflect his thoughts
back on the reader.
We have only read few famous
extracts and have committed them
to memory for the purpose of prac-
tice in speaking.
The object OF the author of the
work on American Citizen was to
give the large class of boys and girls
in the upper grades good idea of
what a good citizen is, and to teach
him what goes TO make good cit
izen.
Only few scholars can be expected
to go to college and take thorough
course in political economy and pol
itics, but all must become citizens,
with the responsibility of acting in
private or public upon various grave
and difficult problems.
They ought not surely to meet
these problems without some intelli-
gent and serious view of their mean
ing, and no doubt all of our class will
agree with me in saying that the au-
thor's intention has been fulfilled to
the last point.
Among the serious subjects treated
by this author are Cities and Their
Government, Voting, The Citizens
Duties to his Government, Capital,
Credit and Interest, etc.
AS the class pursued their study,
several discussions arose on impor-
tant political questions. Among
these were a debate on Tariff, on
Woman Suffrage, and Whether the
Government Should Own and Con-
troll the Railroads or Not.
Our study was completed the last
of the winters term by nine scholars,
and majority of them enjoyed the
study to the full extent.
American history was completed
in the winter term by class of eight
students. BY means of pictures,
maps and books of reference, frequent
reviews and contests, we succeeded
in mastering the outlines of the sub
ject and to some extent in under
standing the philosophy of history.
The history class had one phenom-
enon, a boy who seemed to have
almost complete knowledge of the
subject. Physical geography was also
completed this year by class of six.
The class in constitution, composed
of seven, Is said to have been the
best class in the room. In the final
reviews the majority were able to
answer any questions without mis-
take. Every member of the class
can give preamble, powers of con-
gress, restrictions on states, and
qualifications of various officials, word
for word.
