A III u mble Ambition.

I'm glad I'm not a scientist
Who speaks in Iabored terms,
For every time he turns around
He sees lot of germs.
And when he views the stars at night
Through ether scattered wide
He sees lot of whirling spheres
Which some day may collide.
I'd rather be a common man
With ordinary powers.
Who gayly eats three meals a day
And soundly sleeps eight hours.

an enrolment of 1907 pupils and there
are 165 teachers. These figures will
continue to grow as the city enlarges.
Growth and Progress.
In the address delivered by Chairman
Mueller to the high school graduates
in 1899, published in the school report
mentioned above, are found statistics
of the growth and progress of the Butte
schools. The address contained the fol-
lowing statements:
I'm 1882, seventeen years ago, four
teen teachers were employed in the
Butte schools, at monthly salary of
$785, to teach less than 900 scholars.
The census of that year was Lass, and
the total expenditures were $14,404.
The value of school buildings, sites and
furniture was $44,15O. Ten years later,
or in 1892, the little corps of fourteen
teachers had been increased to sixty
| three, and the monthly pay roll to So
500, while the census had grown from
1,456 to 5.037, and the total expenditure
had been increased to 1854, Last
year, 1898, the number of teachers had
| increased to atotal of 112, the census to
$3.50, and school property valued at

take the first place. For 1t is not to
much to say that the public schools of
this city hold high rank, compared with
like places Of learning In other cities.
This applies as aptly to the character
Of the school buildings, to their furn-
ishings, and to all the adjuncts and
conveniences attached to them as 1t
does to their conduct and the teaching
done in them. Butte is the happy pos
SCISSOR of gratifying number Of mod
ern school buildings, all equipped in
first-class style, and most of them of
recent construction.
To the present board Of school trus-
tees is due a very large share Of credit
for the existence of the many fine
school buildings and for the excellence
of the school system here, for nearly,
IL not quite all of the best buildings
were erected during their administra-
ton of the school district, and it is
generally conceded that within that
time the affairs of the district have
been carefully and efficiently manag-
ed.
The Butte school board is made up
of the following members: Henry

100000. This year. 1899, there were 131
teachers employed, an increase of 10
over 1898. and a conservative estimate
places the increase of the corps of
teachers for the opening of the schools
in September at $50; the census at g.
$50; the monthly pay roll at $4,000;
the total annual expenditure for the
year at over 100000. and the value of
school property at $425.00O."
In this address Chairman Mueller
predicted that the number of teachers
that would be required in 1901 would
be ITS. and that the enrolment would
be 1900 scholars. The facts have al
most exactly borne out his prediction.
The School Board.
1t is very seldom that a school dis
trict however fortunate. can boast of SO
efficient school board as that which at
present has charge of the Butte school
district. In the persons of Henry Muel-
ler c. H. Lane, r. L. Clinton, E.. B.
Weirick. w. Nee. White, D. J. Girard
and George Moulthorp, the city of Butte
possesses a board of school trustees Of

of the schools is transacted. The meet
ings of the board are carried on with
perfect system, and every matter that
comes before them receives careful con-
sideration. The funds and accounts of
the district are handled with strict at
tention and accuracy and for the best
interests Of the schools. and the faith
fulness with which the gentlemen Of the
school board have discharged their duties
is worthy of the highest praise.
The fact that every member of the
board is of first-class intelligence and
ability explains the perfect harmony ex-
listing at the meetings and the facility
and wisdom with which the business is
transacted.
