TO SCHOOL OFFICIALS.
Superintendent Nichols Expresses his
Views Oh School Matters.
} whom it may coacern:

10 whom 1T may concern:
Two travelling chart agents, Messrs
Kroeze and Mooney, representing
the Central School Supply House,
of Chicago, are at present selling a
reading and number chart in this
county. THIS chart, the Progressive
Reading and Number Study" is
good enough in itself, however. | re-
fused to give these gentlemen any
written statement as to my estimate
of the merits of their chart. l have
several reasons for taking such po-
sition each of which | fully explain
ed to these agents.
Fearing that might be misrepre-
sented in this matter wish to make
my position known as far as possible
to the school officers of Dickey
county.
Ia my judgment there are few
school districts in this county whose
finances would warrant the expendi-
ture of $3.50 for single chart that
should be purchased for one half
that amount. Large sums are annually
expended in this county in the pur-
chase OF expensive school apparatus
without any regard to uniformity
or the individual needs of our
schools.
My experience is that these cxpen-
sive aids have not brought the results
anticipated,
No doubt the school officers max
inc these purchases do so with the
best OF intentions, and with the con
viction that they are greatly increas-
ing the efficiency of the schools un-
der their charge. However it is
too often the case that teachers aids
purchased at great cost 10 the dis
trict are, after an irregular and hap
hazard use, laid aside aud seldom or
never referred to. Especially is this
true of many of our country districts
in which inexperienced teachers are
employed and where close supervis-
ion is impossible. l do not wish to
be understood as discouraging The
judicious expenditure of money in
the purchase of teachers aids for our
country schools or the liberal COM
pensation of teachers; but l am
strongly of the opinion that school
officers should be guided by the
same judgment and discretion in
managing the affairs of the districts
they represent as in their private bus
mess transactions. The districts
whose finances are in the worst
condition are those that are
carrying the heaviest indebted
ness are usually the ones that make
the most reckless and ill-advised ex-
penditures of school funds.
1t is my opinion that nothing but
bad financial management on the
part of some of our school boards
has brought the districts they repre-
sent, to their present debt ridden
condition.
Very Respectfully,
G.. A. NICHOLS,
County Superintendent.

Gold Going to Buy bonds.

SAN FRANCISCO special: The negotia-
lions pending in the east incident to the
placing Of the new issue of United States
bonds to the amount of $65, 100000 have
caused a reduction here in the rates of ex-
change OH New York and a consequent
heavy call on the local gold supply. AS to
the extent of this demand and the general
effect no IL qualified to speak on the SUBJ
jcct seems willing to hazard a prediction.
MIR. Jackson of the Sub-Treasury SAYS
there is nothing particularly alarming in
the situation, the sudden call being due to
the fact that American gold is wanted
abroad for the purchase of the new bonds
by the syndicate. New York being the
natural market California is called upon to
supply the market.

a q marked influence by restricting or.
ders received by jobbers in all staple lines.
Rut they have tended to stimulate pur-
clases of seasonable goods. The New
lork stock market has been waiting for
the results of Congressional legislation
and the expected bond issue. The uncer-
tainty about the latter checked buying,
but the belief that the issue would be am
nounced stopped bearish manipulation of
the market. The tone has consequently
been firm without activity. American
wheat stocks decreased 6,974, 600 in
January, 1895, against January decreases
OF only 8Os,000 to $4,000 bushels respect
lively in 1894 and 1898. But this is offset by
an increase OF the European stocks avail
able and aflOat last month of 3.464, 600,
whereas in that month last year the Eu-
ropean and afloat wheat stocks decreased
6,4Ss,OOO and two years ago $500, 900 BUSH
els. Prices in the products, however, show
a favorable tendency. Sugar alone of the
o important staples has declined within
the week. Even cotton has remained firm
at last weeks closing quotations, and wool
n coffee are unchanged. Live hogs and
cattle are firm, with an upward tendency.

For a year and a half fires have been de-

a law passed opening for settlement that
portion of the great Sioux Reservation ly-
ing west of Pierre, and providing that that
portion, which after five years was still
unsettled, silolld be disposed of at the rate
of so cents an acre. The five years expired
the 10th OF this month, and the land may
now he filed upon. This reservation con-
tains some of the best land that it is possi-
bic to find in South Dakota. The land has
great influx of settlers and judging from
the amount of inquiries which they have
received they will lot be disappointed.
