The last annual report of State
Superintendent Steere shows the
schools of Montana to be ina healthy
condition. The schools are %increas-
ing in numbers and attendance and
the teachers take high rank i'm eff
cheney. In 1884 there were :9.252 chill
dren of school age-that is, bet ween
6 and n, in the state, while in 1896
there were Al ,9S1, an increase of 2,729.
In the same period there was an in
crease of 20 i'm the number of school
districts created and an increase OF
20 in the number of school houses
built. The average monthly salary
for men is s6O.22 o women S43.3s;
the number of teachers employed,

increase Of ~ in the past year: num-
Der of trees planted ON school grounds
Coz, an increase over lS95 of 300.
Prof. Steere is strongly impressed
with the benefits of compulsory edu-
cation and recommends that there
he a law enacted to prevent any
child under fourteen years of age
from being employed in mills. fac.
tories. business houses. or as lessen

of our schools is very creditable or

parts. nre much more destructive
to our live stock interests than
wolves. Coyotes kill all kinds of
stock, horses. cattle. and sheep,
while wolves almosI never come
near sheep camps, and are not feared
by our fiock-masters. Further than
that. all of our stock interests are
taxed for the support Of the bounty
law, and should be protective of all
interest protected thereby. as nearly
equal as possible. Further, should
IA bounty be paid for the killing of
wolves alone. it would open the door
to frauds innumerable, as there il so
close a resemblance between the
wolf and coyote. especially while
they are young. that il would require

In view of the foregoing we would
