days II has been hearing complaints of
property owners, who allege too high
assessments.
Inc total assessment of the city, real
and personal property is $685.. 0s5.
which is $L3S9, 0S5 more than last wear.
It was the intention to increase the
total amount 10 per cent but the returns
shows much higher rating. in fact the
assessment OF the North side is from 100
to l3o per cent year ago.
But it is alleged that Manitowoc
property has always been assessed far
below its real value.
1t IS expected that the surplus in taxes
levied by the change will enable the
aldermen to do much in the way of inn
proyements that have heretofore been
neglected.

uniformity under the present system and
there cannot be until the schools are uni
fed.
''In the three local high schools the
absence of sharp dividing line between
the lower grades and the high school re
moves one Of the incentives for gradual
ton. All the departments are conduct
ed in the same building, the pupils from
all the grades mingle freely and there is
little distinction between the high school
student and the younger pupils, AS u
consequence much of the honor that
should 90 with work III the high school
is lost Ii the work of the high school
were conducted in an entirely different
building and in II different part Of the
city it would increase the dignity. 1t
would become q greater distinction to
finish with credit all the work required
up to the end of the Eighth grade. 1t
requires industry and intelligence to
get into the high school and student
ought to get full credit for it.

CROPS IN NORTHWEST ARE SAVED.
The first estimate from the drouth was total
loss but since rain came in abundance it has
assured the farmers.


What was to have been abandoned WAS
thus saved. Wheat as thin rs three to
five bushels TO the acre could only be
cut with headers, of which there are too
few to be of much value i'll such i'm en-
ergency of u general character. Besides
it is question whether such wheat j.
worth cutting even with the price of
wheat 81 per bushel Double the aver
age yield however, and the crop is well
worth cutting ut the present prices OF
wheat
.''Nha near@t approach ia; raIlel to
this season in the spring wheat belt was
1888, when there was no rain from seed
ing to July That year two-thirds of a
crop was raised, That crop, however
wa- fully ten days to two weeks behind
the present crop, 50 the rains We're all
the more beneficial The present crop
is phenomenal in two respects. Never
before did spring wheat suffer from
drOuth in the three states simultaneous
ly almost to the point of Il total failure
in each state. Never before have rains
so opportunely and generally fallen as
to double crop estimates within week
AS far as the farmers are concerned,
the worst feature of the situation is the
failure Of the hay crop, which has caus-
od many, in most cases nnwisely, to sell
their stock. 4 b neticial effect Of the
partial failure will be still further diver
sification.

BOTH TEACHERS AND PUPILS SUFFER.
To Combine Teaching Force lnSures Better
Results.
HE POINTS OUT MANY ADVANTAGES.

Perhaps no man III the state can speak
question than Prof. Balthazar II. Meyer
of the University of Wisconsin. AS sec
retary of the committee on accredited

follows:
To the Editor Pilot In reply tc
your letter OF recent date ! beg to say
that SO far as my observation goes in
this state Il division of the high school
forces in the smaller towns never results
in good and nearly always in evil En-
uepting large city like Milwaukee, il
is probably true that every city in this
state in which Il number of high schools
have been maintained has suffered in
consequence thereof Smaller towns are
financially unable to maintain more
than one first-class high school When
an attempt is made to keep up several,
the equipment of the schools and their
instructional force cannot represent that
high grade Of material and intellectual
efficiency which the town could well af-
ford in case all the forces of the com
munity We're united Teachers, too,
suffer in consequence of such arrange
ments for they are obliged to teach a
larger number of different subjects and
are prevented from doing more special
work; consequently pupils must also
suffer because it is physically impossible,
other things being equal, for teachers tC
provide the highest quality Of instruc-
tion which they are capable of giving
when their energies are scattered among

PROF. V0GEL GIVES
HIS REASON FOR
A CENTRAL SYSTEM

Prof Daniel Vogel, head Of the Luth-
eran schools Of the city, is an earnest
advocate of a Central high school. His
experience in educational affairs in
Michigan where the Central high school
system is everywhera III vogue has con
WINGED him that the educational force of
the city cannot attain the highest eff
cheney except under II centralized sys-
TEN. He says The growth of the
population of Manitowoc has made a
Central high school an absolute neces-
sity. In fact was surprised when com
ing TO Manitowoc to notice that the dis
trict system still prevailed here.
The great advantage to he gained
from the change is the thorough grad
ing of our schools. The thing of para.
mount Importance in our schools is .

Without it the efforts of even the bes,
teachers are largely lost. There is nc

sand dollars were voted to defray the
cost of an additional school house and u
site Bonds to that amount are to be
issued paying interest not to exceed 4
per cent. The new school is to be an
eight room building, four rooms Of
which are to be finished Immediately.
The location of the school called forth
a great deal of discussion. Two sites
were proposed one on Twentieth street,
between Washington and Franklin
streets, and one on Clark street between
Twentieth and Twenty-tirst streets. The
former received the endorsement Of the
school board
Messrs. Paulus, Ertz, Gerphede and
others protested against this location on
the ground that the building would be
within $50 feet of the railroad tracks
and that large majority of the children
attending attending the public school
do not live in the vicinity Of the propos-
ed site. 1t was argued that while the
site recommended by the School board
was the more centrally located, yet mos
of the children living in the Seventh
ward attend the Polish parochial schooI
and would make little use of the new
building The school is built for the
children and hence should be located il

The New York Wall Street Journal
says;
Two weeks ago to-day the Northwest
was in the throes Of the worst wheat
panic ever seen there. The crop failure
was regarded as u calamity. Farmers
were blowing up their land, selling THEN
stock and accommodating long options III
the market. Most of them talked total
failure" A week ago the panic and the
drouth were broken. Rains fell gerer-
ally and abrmdantly the latter part Of
the week preceding, ana i'll n few aayf
the grain thot had appeared burned be
yond any chance Of recovery gained one
third in growth and the berry filled out
beautifully Experts doubled their est
mates of the probable total yield, and
the Northwest found its feet again
To-day there is no talk of total fail
ure or calamity. The people are 10 hap
pv as usual, and as busy. 4 visitor
would see nothing on the surface to re
fleet the recent panic. 1t seems incred-
ible that crop estimates should be doubl-
ed within week or rather that the act
nal spring wheat crop in sight should in
such a short time be doubled The eX-
PLANTATION is this: Before the drouth was
broken millions of acres averaged three
to four bushels, which shortly after it
was broken averaged six to seven bush
els to the acre. This was worth cutting

The talk in favor of n city hall is

in something tangible being done,
There is no city of the size and impor-
tance of Manitowoc which gets along
with such cramped ana unhealthy and

as those which the aldermen and city
officials now meet in. If there is one
thing the city needs it is II city hall.
