The history Of most public school
systems shows that the high school de-
partment is a matter Of growth. n
does not, like the elementary school
spring into immediate completeness
The reasons are obvious. Among the
three classes OF public school PATRONAGE,
there is a class which il composed of
patrons who cannot afford the EXPENSE
Of collegiate education but who are
not IN such strenuous circumstances
that they are compelled to require their
children at an early age 70 hccon,, a,if
supporting. From this class tn, hipl
school department is recruited. II Is
evident that IA the population of any
community increases the classes of
school patronage grow larger. That in
commonwealth all classes should hr
provided for. surely needs no argument.
In the Newherry schools the course
OF study is outlined for ten years. There
are four grades in the primary depart-
,nent and four grades in the grammar
department. but there are only two
grades IN the high school department.
a pupil may completes the course of
study and graduate ut Is wears Of a a.,
As regards the allotment of time, the
primary and the grammar school de-
partmcnts are complete. but tho high
school department lacks two wears of
completion. Without doubt those who
established our city public schools fore
saw the social conditions and from the
FIRST started high school department
by organizing the ninth and tenth
grades, They evidently thought that
as the town grew in wealth and popu-
iation, two more grades would be added
and a complete high school would be es-
tabliShed.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS, &C.
During the present year $114.l3 has
been Spent on repairs for school prop
erty. The work that was done was
very much needed and the buildings
have been put in comfortable condition
Tor the next scholastic session.
THE SPECIAL TAN.
The law under which our school sys-
tenn operates requires every year a re-
newal of the specinl two mill tax. This
tax Is levied upon the real and the Der
sonal property Of this school district.
and it forms a considerable part of the
school funds. 1t does not seem to be
eNpedient to make this tax permanent,
for conditio may arise that reouir,, a
greater expenditure of money. bv re-
terring to the studies mentioned above,
1t Will be seen that even more teaching
force Is now needed. The average
number of pupils to the teacher is FORTY
five. That is too many The special
tax is the only flexible part of the
school revenue and if it is fixed or made
perman mt, it would be exceedingly in
convenient to meet the financial de-
mands when they arise.
For maintenance Of the public
schools we are under the necessity of
asking continuance of the special tax
levy. Respectfully,
Alan Johnstone. Chairman.
Foster \. Martin. Secretary.

and disbursements will be found in the

EVANSVILLE NOTES.

EVANSVILLE. Nd, Ma -ch 25.-The
damage done the streets of his village
by the recent rains has added interest
to the discussion OF the street improve
ment problem.
The amounts heretofore expended on
the streets have resulted in little or no
permanent value. One proposition now
is to bond the town for SIS 900. the pro-
ceeds to be expended in permanent i'm
provement OF the streets under the su-
pervision OF a competent civil engineer.
The advocates OF this scheme contend
that II Is the easiest solution of the
question. as the present road fund IS
sufficient 10 meet the interest on that
amount OF bonds and leave a respectable
sum yearly for the sinking fund.- and
thus any increase in taxation will be
avoided. Its opponents assert that the
permanent Improvement of the streets
cannot be accomplished by the sum
named and the chances for injudicious
expenditure are too great to risk any
increase in the bonded Indebtedness.
There are many who believe 1t more
prudent TO expend the entire road fund in
the permanent Improvement OF one
street as far as # will 90. and repeat
the process from year TO year until the
whole surface is gone over. The dis
| cussion of the various features OF the
subject will likely grow in earnestness
until the annual election for mayor and
councilmen in May. and most probably
have considerable influence in shaping
| that event.
