right. there's. Last year tho trustees
of the Caldwell schools inaueurated
2 reform and made d the pupils
amenable to the laws of the school
rather than the school amenable
Of the will or caprice Of the pupil.
It was radical change and of
course a roar went up the entire
length and breadth of the district.
Parents sawed the air and swore
that the government Of their own
children was being taken from
them. Why? Because trustees
said you shall send your children
to school regularly and on time or
you shall keep them at home
altogether. We can't keep whole
classes continually broken for the
sake of one or two pupils who want
to go to school any time of day they
please, as often as they please, and
study what they please, and it is
nobody's business. We rather
suspect. also, that it made some
irate parents get up half an hour
earlier on cold mornings in order
to get children ready. Thus it was
infringing upon the personal liber-
ties of bed-loving people. The ex-
element. however, quickly quoted
down, and outside of the trustees
getting a few private and public
cursings the new order of things
was accepted. Noone now wants
to 60 back to the old slip-shod
methods. But this was only q
start. There are many other
radical reforms needed which will
create quite as much. disturbance
for q time. But before you 60 on
the war path, just stop and con-
slider that the trustees have con-
sidered their action from every con-
ceivable standpoint, and instead of
experimenting, as many call it, are
simply employing methods which
have been proven thousands of
times in older communities, and
which are endorsed by the leading
educators of the land. Cornfield
schools are thing of the past in
Caldwell. 2

Show.

Next Tuesday the ele-
plant will appear in Cald-
well in all his glory. The
small boy will be in his
glory, and the old folks
will sacrifice their own
personal wishes to work
at their respective callings
and take the children to
the show to see the wild
animals, and incidentally
wander into the circus
tent to sit down and rest.
This is all right. 1t shows
a sacrificing spirit on the
part Of parents to educate
their children that is CON-
mendable. But while thus
enjoying the Injuries of
life, we beg to call your
attention for a few brief
moments to the necessities.
The circus furnishes you
amusement; we can furnish
you with the necessities of
Of life. On a pinch you
might possibly survive
without going to the show,
but you can't live without
groceries and .clothing.
Being more modest than
the showmen, we don't
claim to have everything
on earth, but we do claim
to have the finest line Of
nice, fresh groceries in the
city, and we further claim
that our prices cannot be
duplicated elsewhere. We
also have some excellent
bargains in dry goods this
spring, and just at present
we are offering some rem.
nents at a sacrifice. You
should call and see. We
also desire to impress our
portrait offer upon your
memory. BY giving us a
share of your taade, you
can get a large crayon por.
trait of some dear one free
of cost. Come in and ask
for particulars.

SCHOOL MATTERS.

created more interest than it did
last year, but that is saying very
little. However, leading .citizens
took some interest in the matter,
which shows that Caldwell business
men are not as Indifferent to the
public school as it sometimes seems
They are all strongly in favor of
good schools and cheerfully tax
themselves for its support, but it is
one Of those things to which little
time, or attention, or thought, is
considered necessary. Everybody
takes it for granted that somebody
will attend to the matter, and it
thus transpires that trustees feel as
though they had very little support
from the community. Anybody who
has kick is not at all backward
about making it, while those. who
have no kick coming, seem to be
sublimely Indifferent. For this
reason school trustees always get
plenty of kicks, but seldom ever
an encouraging word. Perhaps
they deserve it. From a western
stand point, the man who accepts
a public trust where there is no
hope of making anything out Oft"
ought to be kicked, and is hardly
entitled to decent consideration.
In other words he is a FISH," for
while he is wrestling with the
problem of school ma'ams and
refractory pupils, out of purely un-
selfish and philanthropic motives,

upon him. 1t is always a good
joke to some people to have an

trustees. For instance. There is
now on file at least ten applications
for every position in the Caldwell
schools. There are five positions

to fill and probably fifty applicants
for them. Nearly all the applicants
have personal friends in the district
who almost insist that their
especial favorite BIZ given a position.
In the little matter of choosing
teachers about half of the district
are disappointed. Then some
people are so small and mean that
if their candidate is not the
fortunate one, they hold spite
against the trustees and the school
and attempt to bring the whole
works into disrepute. When peo-
pie elect trustees they certainly
consider them honorable, at least.
and it is but fair to give them
credit for doing what they consider
for the best interests of the school.
Perhaps you don't think they have
acted wisely, but nine times out of
ten it is because you don't know
what you are talking about. You

LEGITIMATE MINING.

The people generally are coming TO
look upon legitimate mining as they
do upon any other of the branches of
business which have ever been con-
sidered legitimate the world over.
Many people have been led to be-
lieve that mining is a very hazardous
business, and to some extent it is
Conducted on business principles, for
legitimate ends, it is safe as farming
and more remunerative. Crops may
fail, over-production may result in low
prices. Markets must be sought for
farm products, but the markets of the
world come to the mines. There is
no danger of over-production of the
precious metals, for the trade of all
nations demands it.
The day of the wild cat %specula-
tor" is over. The stock jobber who
was won't to play upon the credulity
of an over confding public has been
driven from this field OF mining since
the public has learned that II gilt en-
bossed certificate of stock backed only
by the formality of a corporation did
not represent legitimate mining.
In order TO enlist capital in mining
enterprises now it is necessary that
the investment should be backed by
properties possessing unqualified
merit.
Many people say, II would be glad
to invest in mining if l knew that ]
was not going to be swindled, but
there has been SO much swinding in
that line that / am afraid of it,"
Did it ever occur to those people
that there are unprincipled persons in
all lines of business, and if they have
fallen in with that class once it is no
reason for condemning the whole
world.
The prospector finds the mine and
there his mission ends, unless he Can
call to his aid the capital necessary to
develope it. Who ever heard of a
capitalist going out in the mountains
hunting Tor a mineral vein? Yet
every large mine is owned by the
capitalist.
Who aver heard of a p,ospector I'm.
aided by capital developing a minei
The two must unite. There are hun.
dreds Of good opportunities for this
union to the mutual advantage of both.
Let a p%rospector write to a friend in
the East that he has a mine showing
u nice vein Of ore and wants some
help to develop it, and his friend will
say at once, "He has some swindiing
scheme to impose on me; II he has
got u mine why doesn't he take out
the gold himself? What does he
need of any help? II is some vision
airy scheme or swindle." They forget
that before a mine can be properly
worked great expense must, in most
instances, be incurred, and this may
be followed by years of profit. Mining
shrewdly followed, is more profitable
than any other business. The poor
p~rospector, as a general thing, gets
very little Of this profit, unless he has
wealthy friends TO back him mp when
he has found something.-Homer In.
