condition, and what food they SO.
cured was often OF the yilest descrlp.
tion. The wounded at the front,
thanks to the lack OF ambulances,
had to drag themselves painfully
many miles to the rear, only TO find a
hospital that was without tents,
medicine, bandages, ice, and many of
even the simplest necessities for first
aid" No "whitwashn can obscure
these facts which first came in the
press dispatches, and are now daily
being cOrrObOrated by private letters
from our unfortunate soldiers them
selves.
Our army triumphed; but in the
hour of victory the dreaded fever
made its appearance, spreading so
rapidly that the victims were soon
numbered by the thousand. The first
duty OF the secretary Of war, one
would have thought, was TO place the
army, or the greater part Of it, on
transports, and remove it to its
northern home. But no. The pollti-
cal demands OF the hour had other
calls upon the transports, to satisfy
which, they. were hurried home in
order to carry an army of $4,000 men
to sO.called invasion of Porto Rico.
This pleasure trip was organized, it
seems, in compliance with certain
political demands, the righteousness
OF which appears to have commended
them TO the secretary's good military
, judgment. Meanwhile the sick,
wounded and dying troops were to be
dispatched to the interior of Cuba un.
til the conclusion Of the Porto Rico
junketing trip would set free the
transports TO bring home what was
left OF the Santiago army.
Our beloved country is just now
passing through a crisis which, in its
profound Importance, can only be
likened to the thrOes of the revolution
which gave the country birth or the
terrific struggle of the civil war. The
demand of the American people at
such at time is that its high officials
shall be distinguished by the parest
and most unqueStioned patriotism.
It. has nothing but >cIthiug rebuks
for SUCH questionable politics as are
evidenced in the recent publication of
the partial contents of a private
letter, in the hope Of working politi-
cal injury to a soldier citizen whose
splendid qualities have endeared him
to the misunderstanding American.

teachers for the full ten months, on
the basis laid down in the new schedule
adopted by the board, yet it must be
done through economy in all branches,
as at present there was a deficit Of
several thousand dollars in the school
appropriation.
There would be no disposition to in
crease the teaching force in any Of the
schools. on the contrary where resig-
nations occurred the principal and
teachers of that school would be asked
to assist in effecting a consolidation Of
the rooms. This could be brought
about in cases where the schools were
not already in q crowded condition.
Supt. Smith warmly commended to
the teachers the latest proposition Of
the board to ask the parents of chill
dren attending the kindergarten to
pay an annual fee Of 81, to be used in
the purchase Of supplies. There was
nothing compulsory about this, but
Mr., Smith asserted that he had no
doubt that the people of the city would
come to the aid Of the schools by as
sisting in this manner. 1t would be a
fair test of the estimation in which the
patrons of the schools held this de-
partment. The teachers had during the
last few years been paying for a large
part Of the expenses OF this and other
departments through continual reduc-
lions, and it now deVOlVed upon the
public, or rather those who were di-
rectly interested in the schools to as
sist by paying this nominal fee for
supplies. Supt. Smith intimated that
the board would seek recourse from
the present stringent financial condi-
ton through the next Legislature, by
asking for an additional tax levy for
the school fund.
In speaking Of the text books adopt
ed by the board Supt. Smith urged a
strict adherence to the authorized text
books.
Supt. Smith reviewed the course Of
study in a general way, but stated
that he would at future meetings ex-
press his views on the subject more in
detail.
Miss Shave should have, Supt Smith
said, the cooperation of every teacher
in the city, and he urged a closer at
tenttOn to music during the next year.
Spelling should also have careful at
tention. as should all the other rudi-
mentals in the grammar schools
Supt. Smith favored the continuance
Of teachers, but special and general
and thought them conducive Of much
good to the schools, as the interchange
of ideas could not but help the teach
er in the daily discharge of her duties.
Mr.. Smith asserted that Individual
freedom of the teacher was most de-
sirable, and any curtailment Of his or
her individual effort was a. circun-
stance to be discouraged.
