Dickinson to "Citizen" in Mandan
Pioneer: Glad to know our schools
have u reputation in Mandan for .ex.
cellence-something Mxndan schools
never had here. 1t would seem that
the report in an other column of the
Pioneer of a mass meeting looking
toward the Improvement Of Mandan
schools and a change Of management
makes Citizens claim rather ridicu-
lous. Prof. Clemmer has had ex-
perience in grading in Davenport, Ia,
Jamestown and Grand Forks rs we'll
as Dickinson. The fact that q pupil
went from here to Boston last year
aud kept her grade, and that one was
admitted to Ann Arhor and another
to Madison, Wisconsin, upon Mr..
Clemmer's card without examin alton.
shows that Dickinson pupils are
graded right. The Mandan principal
does not seem willing to explain his
system of grading and Dickinson is
inclined to believe Ii. is not up on
at least that point and knows it.
Editor Packard speaking Of Man-
dan schools says he would be glad to
see only first-grade teachers employed
but is aware that that would let out
all but one of the present force.
Mandan Times. April 81: The board
of education has taken steps which
will lead to u more uniform system Of
grading.

this tube gets inaamed you have a

To Improve the System Of Registering
Mail.

For years one of the greatest farces
has been the sys tenn Of registering
mail. This has simply enabled a
package to be traced. but If it were
lost therewas no redress. A new law
has just been passed whereby all coun-
tries in the postal union assume a
limited liability if q package should
be lost, the amount in this country
being $40 per package. Some of the
foreign countries have also adopted
an insurance scheme, and if a policy
be taken out they agree to pay the
full value of the package should it be
lost. The new law in this country
will not go into effect before July l.
1t is probable that this change will
throw considerable business into the
postofice department hereafter that
has gone before to the express com.
panies, as the governments fees for
the service are uniform, and there
will be some protection under the
new law.-Fargo Forum.

A SUIT of clothes weighing
forty pounds would be a novelty.
Yet it is apparently the sort of
suit which Professor Wilson con-
templates for. the average Ameri-
can individual. He argues in his
newspaper articles at SO much
per column for The New York
Herald, that the tariff placed on
wool by the Dingley bill will add
at least twenty per cent to the
cost of a suit of clothes. Since
an increase of twenty per cent in
the price of a suit of clothes
means an increase of probably S.
in its cost, and the proposed duty
on wool is twelve cents per
pound, Mr. Wilson must cal Gu
late that forty pounds of wool
would be used in the manufacture
of a suit of clothes.-The Forum.
