A glance at the classification of the peo-
pie who represent the industrial element
Of the District Will convince any one that
we have good reason TO be proud OF this
high class of wage earners. The differ
ent trades to which they belong are among
the most profitable to be found in any
city, and the fact that our working people
are thrifty and industrious shows that
they are also intelligent and law-abiding.

partments of the schools under the direc-
ton of Superintendents Powell and Cook,
and the activity now prevailing incident
to the closing of the school year makes the
task somewhat exacting one.
