TOO MANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Editors CHRONICLE:
Iwish to thank you for information
given in previous issue of our valued
county paper in regard to the fifth civil
district of Benton County.
I have delayed writing this little arti-
Gle with the hope that some of our live
teachers or public spirited citizens would
enter into discussion of this question
ofsurplus schools. Isay surplus schools,
because in my humble judgment district
No. 8 is too densely populated by the
arch enemy of ignorance, superstition,
and barbarism-the public school.
Now for the facts and deductions there
from: District No. 5, (both civil and
scholastic), contains an area of AZ square
miles and scholastic population of $40.
Last year these highly favored young
learners were accommodated by IL
schools, or rather eleven sage peda-
gogues who were ever ready and willing
to deal out the most profound wisdom
by the pound, yard, or bushel, and no
regrets. This year the number has been
curtailed to the rediculously (?) low fig
ure of 10, and, no doubt, the heart of
some poor pedagogue is in dire distress
as q result.
Now, my friends, ''let us reason to-
gether." We have one school to every
4 square miles of territory, (nearly), and
one teacher to every aggregation of 81
pupils. This will place school houses
all over the district just 2 miles apart,
or it will give each "ittle lord of crea-
ton" the benefits of public school
within l mile and small fraction of his
home.
Let us now suppose condition, viz
That the 10 schools be curtailed to Z
This would allow 6square miles to eacl
school and force no pupil to walk more
than II mile, or q small fraction over
And, as one of the visible results, We
would have all the money absorbed by
those schools to lengthen out the terms
of the remaining Z.
Figuring the apportionment at $15I
per school per year and teachers wage
at $50 per month, this would give an in
crease of Is months of school per yea
to the entire district, or fraction owe
2 months to each school. And thus
you see, instead of 4 or 5 months term
each year we would have 6 or 7, aud an
. one Enthusiastically strong and health

IT might be just as well for the
money hoarders and scared deposit
tors who have been influenced by
the abuse heaped on business con-
fdence to read the recent statement
Of Comptroller EoKELs. 1t shows
that the present financial situation
is simply the result Of a groundless
scare. Money is bringing a pre-
MUM when there is more money in
the country than there has been foI
years. The statement shows that
there has been large additions tC
the currency by an increase Of ma
tional bank circulation, and this
added to the S2O,000,000 received
from abroad, will, by the end Of the
month";, exceed $50,000,0O0. The
Comptroller is of the opinion tina
money will soon be drug on thu
market. In. times like these if you
have money invest it SO that it vii
afford employment for others an(
profit for yourself, or deposit it il
the bank SO that it may go into tn
channels of trade. The statemen
Of the Comptroller is having a re

to do any good in school can easily stand
the fatigue of walking J mile twice daily.
The only objection that can be reas-
onably urged against the above arrange
ment is that the capacity of the schools
might become over-taxed. This argu-
ment, however, is easily disproven when
we take into consideration the facts that
there would be only 81 and a fraction
pupils to each house, and that the attend
ance never averages more than three
fourths of the scholastic population, and
for the entire term seldom averages more
than one half
And now, my friends, are not the bene-
fits to be derived from such an arrange
ment greatly in excess of the objectiona.
