give performance and parade in this city

the show were youths from eight to twel,e e.
years old. At the appointed time the pa.
rade appeared on Min street Headed by
two clowns attired in appropriate toyeery.
They were followed by a.fife and drum, corps

gether made very amusing display. The
performance began iu a barn in the lower,
part of town, and consisted of some verv

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

While OF not so much prominence as the,

tIon we have in mind is OF no less impor--

Wallis public schools will open next Monday
morning with full and competent corps of
instructors under the superintendency of
Prof. c. L. Pratt. a gentleman who has had
! twelve years experience as a tutor, both i'm
the State OF Michigan and in Oregon. and
who comes endowed with hish-gra.le recon-.
mendatlons as gentleman aid scholar. He
will be ably assisted in his work by the fol-
lowing, some Of whom are new to our readers:

Sharp'es, and Mary Newton, each in charge
OF their respective grades from the seventh
down to the first. - -5
The course of study is quite lengthy and
| familiar to most all the patrons Bot ona
important change hs.s been made by the
|board-Messrs johnson, Hershner, Hadley
and TaYhr-and that is the reduction in the
number OF years required for the. couEse Of
study from nine to eight. As formerly ar.
ranged students. in some cf the rooms were
only permitted the use of their recitation
room every alternate half day, the result Of
the over crowded condition OF the school
rooms. Another change which is in the
proper direction is the exclusion of all child
rem below the age of six years, and should
be endorsed by all clas; es Interested in the,
education of the young ..
The building and its convenicnces have
all been repaired and put in Grst. class con-
dltlon-even to the placing of newsAw.dust
on the basement floor where the childreu
play. It is the desire of members of the,
school board and teachers as well, that all
patrons and others interested in the we'll.
fare of our schools should lend encourage
ment AMI assistance by their occls;oaaf
presence, and if thought proper, a kind word
dropped here and there wnull not be amiss..
