The Augusta Teachers j,.seiativn.

At the meeting Of the Augu,ta Teachers
Association, Saturday afternoon, officers
we're elected as follows: For President,
Weston Lewis; vice president, Chas. r.
Cook; secretary, Miss Abbie Jones; execu-
i've committee, A.. H.. Brainard, Misses
Emma Clark and Alice N. Doherty.
Several plans were proposed for strength
ening the work Of the association as com.
pared with last year. 1t was voted to petit
ton the several school boards for one Friday
afternoon Of each month for the purpose
of conducting these meetings. 1t was
shown that by the revised regulation, under
which the teachers of the village district
are acting, it is quite possible that these
schools will gain one or two half days for
school during each month. 1t was also
shown that school boards in the most pro-
gressive towns and cities in Massachusetts
have already most cheerfully granted one
half dsy once a month for their teachers
meetings. In several places they have re-
quired the teachers to close their schools for
the purpose of assisting in maintaining the
meetings. At the last meeting Of the New
England school superintendents, held in
Boston in May, it was the unanimous opin-
ion that better teaching and better teachers
meetings had resulted from this change.
One improvement which has been more
easily Introduced into these Friday after
noon teachers meetings has been actual
representative class teaching. An especially
strong teacher in some particular subject
has often been the means of inspiring,
without the slightest unpleasantness, the
entire teaching force of the community.
VIVA. is found to improve the public
school teaching Of Massachusetts should
not be unworthy of a fair trial in our city,
think the teachers.
1t was fully believed that the various
school boards of the city will be most will
ing to grant the petition, and that they will
study the work of the teachers meetings
and of the public schools under their
charge for the express purpose of ascer-
tanning whether these changes shall bring
better results from the daily work of the
public schools of our city.

Is dangerous condition directly due to
depleted or impure blood. 1t should not be
allowed to continue, as in its debility the

The work on the Third ward brance.
of the South Jersey Traction Or M

urday afternoon, that the first car was
started running ont AtIaL street to

Messrs English and Campbell were

during the first round trip. Daniel 4.
Smith was the first passenger to pay
his fare on the line.
People living on the line of the roeda

during the day and evening.
When the road is finally completed
the Irving avenue, South av- nue. aud
North Laurel street cars will make
their starting point at the east end OF
the Broad street bridge, connecting
with the car on the wesr side.
This will make very complete SEP

considerable space to school savings

The Supervisors attention was called
to the fact that he had not reported
in relation t his granting permission
to travelling photographer to t t.ke
pictures of the school children.
M. Hitchner replied that he had
given his permission. with the proviso
that principals were willing. That Mr..
Platts had allowed the children of Bank
street School to be photographed,
taking alt ogether about half
day from the studies of the scholars.
He said Miss Walker, Principal of the
Second ward school, and Miss Foster,
Principal of Pearl street school, would
not give their consent. He had not
heard from Miss Whitaker, Principal
of Third ward school.
The expressions from the members
of the Board was adverse to allowing
such people to trespass on the time
given to study In the schools.
Speaking on the question of school
savings banks, Mr.. Jonas said they are
all very nice in theory, but they would
add another burden to teachers al

whom were being worked nights In or

were now doing fully as much as
should be demanded Of them for the

A MIXED GOVERNMENT.


 The member of the present council seem to misapprehend the authority conferred upon them and the duty im- posed upon them under the city charter. They seem to regard them selves as mere igureheads in the conduct of public business not as representatives of the people of their respective wards and of the whole city, who had enough confidence few weeks ago in their ability and integrity to elect them for the management of the city's affairs.
 The Masten franchise was voted down last night by three members of the council. We do not believe that these gentlemen are satisfied that the proper thing has been done. We feel assured that if left to thelr own good judgment they would have granted the franchise. but pressure by their con- stituents, whom they appear to regard as their masters, has successfully borne against them.
 The Masten franchise was therefore defeated, not by the will of the coun- cil we believe, but by 8 majority of those who chose to express them selves upon the subject of the franchise. This majority amounted to about seventeen votes.
 It is, of course, proper that the coun- cil should, to a certain extent, defer to the wishes of the people of the city. Petitions by the people should be granted respectful attention and those who present themselves at meet ings of the council in matters in which they are interested should be given 8 hearing.
 This hearing, however, should not be given for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the wish of the peo- pie, but that more accurate informa- tion as to the subject under considera- tion may be obtained.
 But for the trouble and expense at tending 1t all city business might be transacted by popular election and there would be no need of councils and mayors. When a scavenger is to be ap- pointed the people of the whole city might be gotten together for an expres- sion of opinion on the sutiect. We be- lieve this would be fair though perhaps cumbersome and unsatisfactory. A possible draw back to this popular method of doing business is that many
Arizona republican., 1894-06-29

of the people would not attend these elections.
 Still pure popular system would be better than mixed popular and coun- cil method. A large class of citizens re- tain their confidence in the council and trust that it will properly attend to business. They take no part in the interference made by another class which does not believe the council is equal to the occasion so that the ex- pression is apt to be one-sided as it was last night. So of those who voted on the franchise 8 majority of seventeen was counted against It. All this has no refer ence to the thing done but to the manner in which it was done.
Arizona republican., 1894-06-29

FOR THE first time in more than thirty years the Democracy has control of all branches of the government. Also, for the first time in the history of the Nation, there are more emigrants from than to the United States. Under Democratic administration there are more people who think this is 8 country to leave than there are people who think it country to come to.

THE PEOPLE of the Second ward ought to be proud of Mai. R. A. Lewis. They made no mistake when they elected him a member of the council as his vote last night showed. Mai. Lewis is an enterprising business man, with the courage of his convictions, and the welfare of the city at heart. It is for tunate for Phoenix that he is mem Der of the council.

LAST NIGHT was quiet enough to suit the most fastidious "Hassayamper" in that respect. There was no smoke ascending from the Gardiner Electric Light works and as 8 consequence no lights and no business. The lovers oi solitude were in their glory, and the opponents of progress revelled in de- light as they saw merchants and others using the tallow candle of our great grand fathers.
