Business conditions and the general

Ia the freight department the in.

and the division Of this section into

brightest In the schools history. !"
TIE Occur d'Alene schools have
grown to 40 extent during the past
four years that will give some idea
Of the growth a. the town. At that
time four teachers. including the
principal. were sufficient to teach
the young ideas how to shoot. Al
the coming term, which begins Tues.
day. September 8. the district will
employ flf,eeii teachers who are to be
under the direction Of Soperintend.
ent Barton. Last rear an addition
was made TO the old school building
ard this year q new brick school Of
four rooms il being erected In the
wet end of town. 10 accommodate
the increasing number Of pupils.
In addition TO this, st. Cyril
school was ope6ed two years ago with
three teachers under Catholic super.
vision and Ia 4 year two more teachers
we're added This school will be en-.
larged the coming term on account
of the increase Of pupils. The school
will open In the new academy which
is being completed on Occur a.
Alene street for that purpose.
Taking account Of the two schools
one can form some idea Of the growth
OF the town curing the past four
yeart, and there il no reason why
the increase should not continue In
the same ratio for the next four
years, which would give us at the
end Of that time 1900 population.
This may seem like a dream, but
there is 20 reaEon why IL may NOT
prove q reality.
