giving night. We notice in the papers
a few days ago that during a bad fire
at Fargo that a citizen offered the fire
department chief engineer $500 lie the
department would save one Of his
buildings and IT was saved and the
money was paid to the cnief and di-
Yided between the three companies.
Now we do not expect that from the
citizens of Bismarck for we we'll know
that there is none here chat could
afford it, Nor do we ask as much.
But we do feel that every citizen can
buy a ticket to our dance and thereby
show appreciation of our earnest effort
in trying to protect our city from the
fire fend both might and day. We do
not squander our money Ioolishly but
we pay u members a sick and acct
dent benel1 whenever they are in need
and the organization is kept up by the
individual members paying their good
hard earned money every month. Be
sides, ii a member OF the old Pioneer
Hose Co. No. dies his family or es-
tate will receive a death benefit OF
$25. Now our committee will be
headed by a young business man who
will be in charge of the sale of tickets
and the company will appreciate all
that each and every can do towards
helping us out and thereby assist us in
making vi for some of our several
losses which we have sustained in re.
gard to injured clothing, etc. The so
1icitation of tickets is not a job THAI
any member OF the company likes BY
any means, SO make it as easy as YOU
all a for our committee by buying
a ticket TO help along q good cause.

During the past. public education as

trict. While they have been growing in
number, it appears to me they have been
advancing in efficiency until. fellow citi-
zens, we have a corps of teachers and
schools of which to be proud. am in
clined to believe that the idea that seems
to prevail that the schools are not phi
lanthropic institutions, but rather neces-
saary business investments, is having a
good effect. I am pleased to Know that

What is comprehended in school attn

porter.
Field sports, such as football, bases
bail, throwing the hammer and other
Scotch games answered Prof. Leamy.
What is your opinion OF corporal pun
ishment? Do you think it should be
abolished in our public schools?"
MY experience leads mo to believe
that punishment of this nature SHOULD be
avoided as far as possible" said the
teacher. Under the direction of a wise
and conservative principal OF a school.
it is advisable; but as the years go by, I
find myself less in favor or corporal pun
ishment. During the past two years, no
occasion has arisen which provoked me
to intiict corporal punishment upon u
pupil. Yet l wouia not like TO have the
privilege of using it taken away from
me, because the occasion might arise at
any time where it would be advisable
and proper to inflict such punishment.
In the graded schools, ! think It's enforce-
ment is necessary at times.'
WHAT nave you 10 say ABOUT the SANS
tary condition of our schools, IN view OF
the presence of smallpox
1.-The sanitary conditions of our schools
are excellent. So FAR as possible, the
trustees have been jealous in preventing
danger to the children from contagious
diseases. All new school buildings have
been constructed according to the most
improved sanitary methods"
This concluded the interview ahout tho
schools, but Professor Leamy had a few,
words to say anent the meeting OF the
State Teachers association in this city
during the Christmas holidays. He said
these meets proved Of great assistance
to teachers; it gave them opportunity to-
exchange ideas, thereby better equip-
ing them to perform their duties as in
structors. Butte teachers will welcome
their co-laborers in the state in a man.

VIEWS OF HON. HENRY MUELLER

Hon. Henry Mueller has made Of
the best mayors Butte ever had, m as
chairman of the board of school trustees.
his successive elections to that position
exhibits the confidence the people of this
school district place in his executive
ability. In an address delivered ait the
high school graduating exercises, June
3. 1899, among other things. Mr.. Mueller
said:
There is no better illustration of pro-
gress, growth and development to be
found in the world, than hat of our great
mining city. Thirty years ago Butte was
not on the face of the map Of the terri
tory. Twenty years ago the wealth of
this mountain top began to give forth
its stores of precious metals and the
eyes of the world turned in this direction.
From a few struggling miners cabins
the camp has grown to be a city of So
900 people. In 1882. seventeen years ago,
fourteen teachers We're employed in the
Butte chools at a monthly salary of $7S5,
to teach less than 900 pupils. The census
for that year was 1,456 and the total ex-
p%enditures Were $l4, 4O4.97. The value of
school buildings. sites and furniture was
$44, $50. Ten years later. or in 1892, the
little corps of fourteen teachers had
been increased to siNty-three. and the
monthly pay roll to Sc, 500, while the CEN
sus had grown from l,456 to 5,o3I, and the
