Garden City on Fourth. :.
BOzeman, -JulyVs&
The management of the Bozeman ,eol-
lege expect to have considerable of a cat
and dog time at the meeting of the State
board of education at Dillon the 18th. Of
this month. 1t has come to the kn9wl-
edge OF the oca board that there Wilt be
an attempt made to reduce the number
of teachers In the institution and impair
its usefulness as a school by what is Con-
sidered mfsapplied economy in pnnCes
and along line that should receive ,ad-
ditional strength instead of being reduc-
ed.
For Instance the claim is made that the
number of pupils at the college is far
from being in proportion to the popula-
ton of the state. This contention was
being made much of by several enemies
of the schoo until Prof. James Reid Of
the college compiled a statement of the
attendance of all the Agricultural col
leges in the United States. thirty-four in
number, and showed that the attendance
at the BOzeman institution was second
largest of an in the union in proportion
to the population. This complaint being
refuted it as complained that he num-
Der of teachers was far in excess of the
number required for the enrolment of
the school and the classes not SO large
but that some of them could be combin-
ed in on and put under h charge of a
single teacher. This petulant protest was
also nailed by the record of the other
similar colleges in the Union where the
faculty is about the same according to
enrolment as that of the Bozeman
school. 1t appears hat ~thirty-four
schools we're instituted under the bill pro-
xyiIin~ For r,rnh Schools nc thu - ut
Bozeman, most of the having been in
operation a long term of years. These
schools, having ecOul mainly to per-
Sonal instruction, require more teachers
than institutions where the classes are
large n the studies such as will admit
of general instruction instead of the per-
sonal instruction of each pupil. At the
meeting of the state board at Dillon all
these matters will come up for settle
ment and the friends of the Bozeman
school will be there in force. If the, eff
fciency of the school is impaired by
mistaken economy 1t will not be 1.-THE
fault of the men who will present the case
for Bozeman's model school, for the
ground is being o n over carefully for
arguments to earn the school a fair de-
cision. 5e= El-9G iItg,

nut, Belgrade and Manhattan and at the
picnic grounds and dancing pavillionsf UP
and down the many streams that are tri-
butary to the Gallatin river. Bozeman
will be deserted or that day. Many will
take the special train on that day, and
others will join h rural revelers who
whoop 1t up for independence in the asyl-
van shades remote from town. Living
ston Is making an especially strong eff
fort to swell the attendance at its cele-
bration and will entice many of the peo-
pie of this city to it's streets that day.
h Bozeman band will not cross the
range that day, however, as three of it's
leaders will be in Butte taking vacant
places In a musical organization of that
city. Byron Story, Harry Howard and
Ed. w will leave Tuesday for Butte
to take places in a band with which Louis
Howard of that city Is connected.
Few men in public life would have at
tracted the immense gathering that went
to the station to see and cheer the much
talked of man. When the train pulled
up to the platform Mr.. Clark did not APP
pear for some minutes, and when h fin
ally came down the steps of the car
there was a general rush to shake his
hand and speak a word of cheer to the
opponent of the copper king. The good
wishes of the people of Gallatin county
are pIdlniy With the man from Butte,
and as the train pulled slowly away to
the east he vas cheered Justify by the
crowd, who waved hats and handker-
chiefs in response to the graceful bows
the dapper and nervy little man,
whose face lit up with pleasure as he
looked back on this friendly farewell.
The stop here was a short one. as the
train was due at Livingston for dinner
at 1 o'clock.
