We would especially invite the at
tentiou of those interested in the
school to the average daily attendance
in the several rooms, If this percent
age of attendance is maintained
throughout the school lyear, great good
will result to those interested. Parents
should see that their children are at
school every day possible, il they
would have them advance rapidly in
their work.

Our High School House.

Much has been said In the past few
weeks in regard to the unftness of our
High school building for the needs of the
school, but, as yet. few Of the citizens are
aware Of the actual condition of the house
Let me give few facts in regard to the
matter for our people to dispose of as
they think best
First, as to size: there are at present in
the school-room ninety desks and about
eighty-four seats the other desks being
supplied with chairs-some minus leg,
some a back, and one or two apparently
perfect in anatomy.
To get so many desks into the room, it
was necessary to crowd them very closely
together, and in consequence, the aisles
are too narrow for comfortable passage; !;
there is almost no standing room, even at
the black boards, and not space enough in
front for recitation seats.
The seats are of an old and obsolete
pattern, so constructed as to combine noise
in their manipulation with the greatest
possible discomfort to the occupant
The building is supplied with two large
furnaces which heat(?) the main room and
one classroom. and an air-tight stove to
warm the other class room.
That there is heat enough from these is
not denied but the wind, which enters the
room from the loose windows and cracks
in the walls and door, renders it practical
impossibiity to raise the temperature of
the house, on clustering winter days. above
40 or Is degrees.
Such a condition Is not only uncOmfort-
able, is dangerous TO place ninety students
in such room l. positive cruelty, and one
cannot require or expect the scholars to
attend.
The city government has proposed to
repair the house the coming year. but no
repairs can make the place suitable; it /,
not lar,e enough for the number of stu
dents: at the beginning of this school
year there were ninety-two scholars, and
as Is said above there are but ninety desks.
Each year the number Of attendants has
increased, and we may confidently expect
this increase to continue; then we are con
fronted by the question. Where shall We
put them?' New seats may replace the
old ones, but greater number cannot be
put into the room, and the problem of
seating one hundred students in ninety
seats cannot be solved by high-school
mathematics.
Only new building can meet the re-
qurements, and the folly of attempting TO
patch up the present structure must be
apparent to all
OF ante-rooms and out-houses we have
not spoken, but nothing can be said in
favor OF either
Let US have High school house of
which we need not be ashamed

Kansas Republicans Sustained.

The Supreme Court of Kansas has de-
involving the organization of the House of
Representatives,, Two justices agreeing and
one, Populist, dissenting. The issue was
made in this way: A man named Gum was
summoned as a witness before the Elections
Committee Of the Republican House.
On his failure to appear he was arrested
for contempt on warrant signed by
Speaker Douglass and held in nominal
confinement in Topeka. An application
for a writ of habeas corpus was made to
the Supreme Court in his behalf, and argu-
ments were heard last week. By denying
the writ, the Supreme Court has now ad-
judged the Republican House the lawful
lower branch of the Legislature. There
has never been any real doubt as to the
decision which the court would render.
provided it heard the case at all, though
there was some pretence that it lacked
jurisdiction; but it had been hoped that
the Populist member of the conrt would
coincide with his colleagues and make the
decision unanimous. The effect of his dis
sent upon the party to which he belongs
may be unfortunate, but it nowise impairs
the validity and authority Of the judgment.
The highest tribunal of the State, after
can position. That is enough in law, and
1t ought to be enough in fact. But the
Popullsts, when they surrendered to
superior tactics, to higher courage and de-
termination. and to public opinion week
ago. did not surrender gracefully or com
pletely. They have occupied the inter-
vening time with reasonable declarations,
aud, 1t is said, with preparations to make
an armed resistance to authority, IL the
judicial decision should be adverse to their
pretensious. They have formally an
nounced through the Governor and other
leaders that they would not obey the court
aud they are reported to be organizing q
large military force. These threats, we
think. can safely be discounted to some
extent, especially now that the leading
Populists have declared their intention of
bowling to the decision of the court. But
there is no doubt that many of the men
who have been directing this revolutionary
movement are selfish reckless and turbu-
lent, and that so long as they retain au-
thority over their followers they are likely
to lead them into mischievous and dan
gerous folly. At the same time public
