SUPERINTENDENT.
Rev E. E Marggraf has served as
superintendent of schools at a salary of$3OO
per year and expenses, if l am correctly
informed, and it appears that W. 3 Stock
well from the report has received as clerk
twenty-five cents per hour for time spent,
making an outlay for superintendent and
clerk of 1892 81 The superintendent of
schools, according to his contract, was to
make one visit term to each school in
town, or 105 visits, as there are that num-
Der of terms reported in the superintendent
of schools report
I do not wish it understood that crit
icise the services of Mr. Marggraf or Mr..
Stockwell; but l would ask the thinking
men and women Of the town Of Rocking
ham to give this matter their serious
thought
Do you think that there is person in
the town who could render the service we
ought to have in this number of visits?
Mr. Ryder has done most efficient SER
vice in years past, but any man with bust
ness on his hands of any kind who is capa-
BILE of filling this position does not feel like
putting the time into the superintendency
which we shuold have with our increased
school service We expended nearly
1922, 200 last year, by our school report,
and now have sc teachers in our schools
If we were to have a superintendent OF
schools, he could do the work of the clerk,
and we should then have the amount we
have paid the past year, $3.50 to $500, to
apply on the superintendent salary and
without doubt there are expens which
could be curtailed by the attention Of a
superintendent, as it would be strange if
there were not.
While there has been no increase in the
expenses of the school board from former
years, do not understand me to find fault
with it or say it is too much, we have had
efficient service at small cost. and if we
find that with increased demants we are
obliged to pay for that service, let us put
our doll RS where we can get the most for
our money
fyou are taxpayer or parent OF any
of the pupils of the town, don't be afraid ;
express your convictions to our school di-
rectors and furnish another improvement in
our public schools

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Provo, Dec 5.-Sheriff Storrs re-
turned to Provo this evening after
chase of two days around through the
CITY of Pleasant Grove. Saturday af-
ternoon he left here in company with
Henry Boley of American Fork, to hunt
out the young men who mobbed
Mr. Boley's son, Warren, Friday night
after a dance. 1t seems that the peo-
pie of our nelghboring town are in SYM
pathy with the ones who did the beat
ing. This, says Sheriff Storrs, was
what made him so long in the work he
had to do. When he arrived there he
found the inhabitants as mum as
oysters. and it took his entire store OF
wits to hound out the offenders. That
he was successful, as he always Is,
goes without saying. This evening he
reports the arrest of Hent Nelson and
Sidney Shoel, while warrants for the
arrest of John Heron, John Warwick
and Noel West are in the hands OF
Marshal Halliday. The last named
have, he believes, skipped out or hid
den away for fear of arrest.
Sheriff Storrs says he is surprised at
the people of Pleasant Grove for siding
in with the boys who beat young Boley.
Sheriff Storrs said he thought the
row was due partly to whisky. He
knew not If Heron had been drinking.
but the report comes to him that many
in the crowd had been indulging rather
freely. He says the Boley boy is all
bruised up. His face is mauled, nose
knocked in and his whole body bruised
and torn and shamefully maltFeated.

The arbitrage business was interferred

Why American Women Wed Abroad.
CHarner,s Bazarl

Another of our rich American women
is reported as engaged to an English
man of title. The list goes on increas-
ing, and the wonder never seems to
cease. Many persons find it difficult TO
understand the preference Of women
for exalted stations, but they forget
altogether the horizon which a title
opens to her. There are, in most cases.
the great estate to preside over, the
houses to rule-houses which are often
centuries old, and, therefore, rich in
those traditions and old customs which
no new country can know. Then there
is the political life to which titles en-
title a man, and with that life there
is the coming in contact with many
minds, with the possibility of being
herself a power among them. To the
woman of highly endowed mind moth
ing can take the place of comDauiOn-
ship with a great statesman, and those
who have enjoyed it at Washington
find a strange dearth in their lives
when a new administration forces
husband or father out of Office.
Scoffers are apt TO say that beauty
or a fat bank account is accountable
for all the brilliant marriages which
our women make, and the fact is alto
gether ignored that a certain qual1hca-
ton, if not exactly necessary, is at
least a frequent factor in them. Take,
for instance, the case of Miss Letter,
now the wife of the viceroy of India.
with position to hold in the English
speaking world which only Queen Vic
toria herself can rival. Few Of our
American girls have studied so hard or
received so careful an education. She
has been cultivated in all the graces
of mind and body, equipped. in other
words, for any role she might be called
upon to fill. One is sometimes inclined
to ash whether this can be said of
many of our young women?
