justified by the great success achieved
by Sousa, and their enthusiasm never
failed to communicate itself to the other

many with the artistic success OF his
concerts. This has been earned, not only
by his personality, but by the industry
Of his musicians who have been brought
to an artistic perfection which is to be

No town OF its size in this state

Perhaps it would be just as well
for the democrats in the United

their power, the passage Of the

Its passage means the pitfall for the
republican party in national politics.
If it were only the democrats op>

hurt the republican party, but the

totally blind to the steal stand on the
threshold of its passage gagging at

Supt. McCurdy was given power to

tertainments, providing such entertain
ments be at all times under the direct
supervision OF the teacher, Miss Mar

also given permission to purchase 500
record reports.
The superintendent furnished a state
ment showing the written expression
from each of the principals and teachers
of their personal wishes in regard to a
spring vacation. As majority of them
were in favor of continuing without
interruption the board decided there
would be no vacation this spring.
The superintendent furnished his
monthly report which shows that there
are at present enrolled 1919 pupils. At
the same time year ago S92 was the
registration. The total attendance was
1919 days, with 1915 absentees.

some scholars to attend. The PROPOSE
ton came before the people at two diff
ferent meetings and was lost by small
majority. | think one third of vote
more would have carried, two thirds

Several propositions have since been
talked up one to build small house
on the north side for the accommodation
of those livingin that part of the district,
and another to join the city for high
school purposes. 1t was also proposed
to divide the district by the north half
acquiring a couple OF sections somewhere
on the mountains so as to come within
the four sections required by law, all OF
which have not proven feasible and
dropped. Now it seems to your cores
pendant that all those schemes would
prove unsatisfactory after trial. We
certainly do not want to join the city
and shoulder debt that prove burden
for an indefinite period, nor do we need
to burden ourselves with high taxes
that would continue indefinitely The
only thing to do is the most natural
thing, and what ought to be done, i,
to build good comodious building .
one that will accommodate to the best
possible advantage our large and grow
