Supt. Kenaston Resigns.

Mr.. Fletcher suggested that il
might be proper to take definite &C.
tion in regard to the election of the
heads Of the schools or others, as
teachers are now getting places.
Superintendent Kenaston stated
that he was not a candidate for re-
election for another year. In placing
his resignation in the hands of the
board, he had only words of esteem
for the members, although he was dis
appointed in the action taken in re-
gard to the attorneys bill, and felt
that the board had not treated him
justly in this particular. He
then read the list of names of
teachers who desire reelection. This
list included all but Miss McWilliams,
VINO expects to spend the ensuing
year in Paris, Miss Gordon, who will
return to her home in Ohio, and Miss
Cornish, who will attend the state
The two former teach in
the high school building, and the
latter in the Union building.

Another Change.

Mr.. Jones moved that an informa
ballot be taken for principal Of the
high school, and this was carried,
Secretary Brewster read the names
of the applicants, as follows: Arthur

Fairview, Kansas; II. B, Leyenberger

kato.
The informal ballot resulted 10 Mr.
Searles receiving three votes and Mr..
Leyenberger five votes.
The salary Of Mr.. Searles has been
$1,000. Mr.. Parry moved that the
salary for the ensuing year be placed
at 5000, but this was lost on tie vote.
Motions to place the salary at 81, 900
and $500 received no seconds.
DR.. Davis said that an unjust
prejudice had been Occasioned against
Mr.. Saarles on account of the employ
ment of another teacher in the high
school. He had written to three
neighboring cities to ascertain how
many high school teachers they en-
ploy, and had learned that Mankato,
Austin, Red Wing and Faribault each
employ five high school teachers,
while the high school enrollments are
as follows: 1874, 156, 1876,
1856. This did not indicate that there
were too many in Mankato. Mr..
Searles had done good work and has
the confidence and respect of both
pupils and teachers. 44
On motion of Mr. Cray, formal bal
lot was proceeded with, resulting in
Mr.. Leyenberger receiving five votes,
Mr.. Searles two, and one blank. Mr..
Mr.. Leyenberger was declared elected.
On motion of Mr.. Cray, the board
proceeded to ballot on the salary to be
paid him. Three ballots were taken,
as follows:

THE free traders have been telling
that on account of the Dingley bill
Canada has proposed new tariff bill
that would work against the United
States, but the Toronto Doiyg Mail
and Empire does not agree with them.
1t says that the new Canadian tariff
is more favorable to the UnitedStates
than the one it is to supplant, and
names large number of articles on
which the tariff is reduced. And all
or these articles can be furnished by
the United States. In fact the
Canadian press asserts that the new
Canadian tariff will prove much more
favorable to the United States than
to England. If reciprocity is made a
part OF the Dingley bill, as it un-
doubtedly will be, there is possibi-
lily for commercial treaty between
this country and Canada being ar
raigned. that will prove most bene-
fetal to both countries.

Bill DiSallOWed.

Mr.. Fletcher presented a formal
written report from the finance COM
mittee, making an adverse recon-
mendatiOn in regard to assuming
the payment of the bill of Pau & Pau
for legal services for defending Supt.
kenastOn and Prof. Searles against
the charge of assault preferred against
them in the municipal court last
winter.
Capt. Keysor moved the adoption
of the report.
Mr.. Fletcher said that it was proper
to state the reasons which had in
fluenced the committee. The whole
thing had been unpleasant, including
the difficulty itself. The superinten-
dent should be man who is a good
judge of human nature, discreet, and
wise in his mode of discipline. He
did not think that all of these re-
quirements entered into the present
case. Boys who are over twelve or
thirteen years of age are too old to be
whipped. This ought not to have
been resOrted to. The boy should
have been suspended. 1t was also in
discreet to run after parents. Let
them come to the teacher. This only
added to the trouble. Mr.. Fletcher
said that he had stood by the teach
ers for the good Of the schools, but
had never felt satisfied,
The vote on the report stood, ayes,
Messrs Keysor, Fletcher, Davis,
Coughlan and Williams: noes, Messrs.
Jones and Parry. Mr.. Cray asked to
be excused from voting ON a report
from committee of which he was
member.

Stone Throwing.

The bills were taken up and
allowed.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he had
heard complaints of boys throwing
stones into adjoining yards at the
Pleasant Grove building.
Supt. Kenaston said that this
matter had come up early in the
spring. He had spoken to the princi-
pal about the matter, who said that
it would be righted. Nothing more
had been heard of it. There had been
some complaint about ball throwing
at the Union school.
DR.. Davis and Mr.. Coughlan said
that they had also heard complaints
as to stone stone throwing at the
Pleasant Grove.
The matter was talked over some
and left with the teachers to suppress.

rIore Room Needed.

Supt. Kenaston said that a large
number of pupils had entered the
West Mankato school since the holi.
days, and it looks as though the
seventh grade would have to be left
there and another teacher employed.
There is no separate room in the
West Mankato building, 1t is assured
that there will be twenty-six in the
seventh grade next year, through
promotions from the sixth. The in
coming sixth will number twenty
four.
President Williams stated that
Principal Emerson had said that two
more rooms are needed in the build
ing.
Supt. Kenaston said that the
Pleasant Grove, Union and FRANKLIN
buildings present knotty problems, as
they are so crowded.
President Williams stated that
$4,000 had been placed in the tax levy
for this year with view to building
an addition to the West Mankato
school.
On motion of Mr.. Cray, the COM
mittee on property land expense was
directed to have competent person
take measurements and prepare rough
drafts of two and four room addi-
tiOnS.
sSIMr. Coughlan moved that Architect
Gerlach be employed to DO this work,
as he had made all of these plans
heretofore and understood what is
wanted and could do the work
cheaper than new man. II large

would favor competition among the

HARPER's Weekly gives the follow
ing extract written by ex-Postmaster
Wilson, which tells why he accepted
the presidency of Washington and
Lee university: II was influenced, 1
may say captivated, by the possibili-
ties. of making this institution a
great center of sound learning and
sound citizenship, power to repro
duce in the South some of that high
thinking that made her leadership in
past generations so conservative and
yet national. am sure the seed has
not run out. But it needs strong and
wholesome culture. All the rest of
the country is interested in this as
much as Virginia and the South" Mr..
Wilson will do great work if he can
establish the foundation of what he
has outlined. A work that will be far
greater than anything he has accom-
plished in the field of politics, where
the most he has done has been to
work destruction to American inter-
ests. But he never will build up the
conditions Of his dream on the kind
of theories he has been advocating
for the past six or eight years. He
will have to turn to practical lines,
and his recent 'outburst against the
Dingley bill does not indicate that
he has in any respect done so.

showing their interest in the schools.
The presen ia ion of "The Rivals

ART TREASURES.

1t is not everyone who has the time
or wherewithal to visit the store
rooms Of art in the old world. This
fact is dOubly'regrettable when ones
soul yearns after the beauties, myster-
les and unspeakable pleasures which
a study of the cold Masters" awakens.
The opportunities for this class of
reading and research in the far west
are limited. Art galleries and art
libraries are few, and when found are
usually private.
The Art History club of this city
which has been doing good work
along this linesof study the past win
ter, has decided to permit the public
to share in the good things they had
provided for themselves. Upon the
18th OF May they will give stereo-
ptican exhibit Of some of the leading
art works Of Italy. This exhibition
will be divided intosthree parts. The
