Public School Notes.

The enrolment to date is over 500 In
White School and about 40 In the
Colored School.
We need more teachers and more
room. The public revenue hardly
supports the schools with the present
force Of teachers and with the build
ings we now have. Furthermore our
best grade teachers are not receiving
the salaries they should. We need
more money, the query naturally
arises how are we to get it? Now
that the water works are secured let
the citizens Of our town turn their ct
tention to school matters. We can
not afford to allow one of the most i'm
portant interests to suffer and retro
grade from lack OF money without
some effort at least to raise the need
ed funds.
The bill Of the first lot Of books for
the library has been received and the
books are looked for In short time,
the school will then have an addition
Of IS carefully selected books, includ-
ing standard works Of fiction, poetry,
reference, biography, etc Several vol
umes of bright clean books Of tales for
the smaller pupils were selected. The
school received this SIS from outside
| tuition; and this with the $48 Melted
by the Columbian entertainment has
furnished q book fund of $l23. All but
about $40 of this has been expended for
supplementary reading matter for the
grades and for the new books for the
library. Tho school board has agreed
to purchase q, case for the books. But
