The COMING
SCHOOL YEAR
Will Be The Best In The
History Of The Public
Schools.
THE TEACHING FORCE

Will Number Thirty-Seven-Prof. Lopez OF
The Mexican School to Have Charge OF
the Spanish Classes-The Schools VIII
in All Probability Not Open on Time.
| The outlook has never been so bright
| in the history of the public schools in
this city as at the present time.
| 1t cannot be denied that the schools
of Ell Paso have been in keeping with
the progress made by the city In other
directions, and every effort has been
I made to raise the standard of eXcell-
. ence.
The schools are just entering upon a
most prosperous era.
The facilities in the past we're made
quate, but during the past year, large
sums of money were voted by the coun-
Gil for new school buildings, and the
result is that Ell Paso has plenty of
low his child to rem ain away on account
of overcrowded school rooms, which
has been the case in the past.
The standard of scholarship has
reached high plane, and the young
mind could not receive better train
ing anywhere, than in the public
schools of Ell Psso.
A competent corps OF thirty seven
teachers will be the teaching force
this year, several new teachers having
received appointments at the last meet
ing of the board of trustees.
Prof. Lopez, who is now principal of
the Mexican school will have charge
of the Spanish classes in the high
school and will devote two or three
hours a day to the work. While he is
occupied with the Spanish classes at
the high school, Mrs. Lopez will act
as principal, at the Mexican school.
It has not been definitely decided
when the schools will open, but it is
believed that postponement will have
to be made until the 18th of Septem-
Der, instead of the 4th, as was agreed

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Hospital maG Medical a. Well IS Mil
itar? Records Of Soldiers to De
Kept for Faturc Reference.

\ special TO the Tribune from Wash
irgton says: The suggestion that the
hospital and medical as well as mill
tary records of al! officers ard soldiers
enlisted in the war against Spain be
carefully made and preserved as Il part
of the permanent records of the war
department in order to facilitate the
adjudication and payment Of future
claims for pensions. il appears is being
favorabIy considered by the higher Of
iicials of the department. Theplan sug-
ccsted is so practical and easy of exc
cution at a moderate expense of time,
and is withal one from which Doth ihe
government and claimants for pensions
will derive such benefit. that it seems
strange nobody ever proposed it Long
ago. There appears now to be q fair
probability that it will be adopted and
carried out, as 10 legislation will be
needed to set it in motion.

OUR TRADE OUTLOOK
That with South Africa Has Untold
Possibilities.
One Of Its Obvious Features at Pres

Goods.

A special to the New York Tribune
from Washington says: Not only is
it true, as asserted by ConsulGeneral
Stowe in his long report to the state
department. on the imports into South
Africa. made from Cape Town. that
trade in that region has untold posi-
b.lities. and that one of its obvious
FEATURES at present is the foothold
gained by United States goods, but it
is also true hat the trade of this coun-
try with the British and Dutch com
munities of southern Africa tends to
weld together in a common brother
hood the peoples who are interested in
the trade and strengthen the bonds
that bind them in sentiment. These
are the worlds freest and possibly
happiest communities. 1t is Therefore

The trade of the United States is
mainly in foodstuffs. Among the ar
ticles mentioned as having held their
own in the last yea are electrical
goods ard appliances, steel and iron,

In a recent issue it republished a speech
delivered in the Spanish senate in 1863
by Gen. Prim. the famous Spanish gen

to the United States, and who was as
sassinated in the streets of Madrid
some time a~fterward. Gen. Prim,
speaking about the military power Of
the United States, evidences of which
he had witnessed during the early
progress of the ciyIl war, and desiring
to enlighten his colleagues concerning
it, said:
For n long time it has been believed
in Spain, and in fact in all of Europe,
that the United States has been a ma
ton of business men, without either
military spirit or military elements,
and for that reason unable to make
war, even within its own confines. Eu-
rope can now be convinced, however,
that such is not the case. The people of

The passage of the navy personnel
bill by the United States Senate will
crafty every one who has the welfare
of that branch of the service at heart.
The amendments made were few and
unimportant. Doubtless they will
readily be accepted by the House and
the bill will soon be in the Presidents
hands. The need for this measure has
been frequently discussed, and at this
time it is only necessary to say that it
does away with evils that have long
tended to mar the efficiency of 4 nay
of which all are justly proud.

Ccmvulsory Vaccination I'M Japan.

By an act of parliament passed in
1896, and signed immediately by the
mikado, revaccinut:on at periods of
five years was maue compulsory upon
every Japanese. no matter what his or
her station in life may. be. EaccIna-
ton is done with lymph from calves
only, which is procured from vaccine
establishments owned and controlled
sy the government. and which is dis
rributed gratis. Any attempt to evade
r~evaccination at the stated periods is
| made q serious ofense and is treated
as a grave dereliction against public
| health. The result is that smallpox,
auce the curse of the islands constr
tuting the realm of Japan, is now al
but unknown.
