DECATUR DEMOCRAT. Decatur, Ind; T -* ■ 1 KMOt RATH’ PRESS CO.. - - PI BMSHKRS. OUR CITY SCHOOLS. A KKPORTI U OF OfrFK’F (XMDHTKD THK<H’<ill THEM BY |>KOFE!*NOH.MOFFE'I"i • A Report ol Tlietr tt’rogresw And StniKtinu* A reporter of this office called at the high school building Iridtiy and was conducted through the, several rooms by Professor Moflett and although school has only been open some five days he found ei ei j thing running along smoothly and the students as well as teachers hard at work. We first visited the superintendant’s office, which is fixed up in first-class, almost elegant style. The walls are adorned-with- pictures, of . formerclasses, trustees ot the schools and '• portraits of great literary men. We were next conducted through the high school department. This consists of four rooms. Three are used for study and one for recitation purposes. There are 103 members of the high schools. These are divided as follows:—The senior class contains thirty three members at present, besides several students who will probably enter in a. few days. The second yeai class contains twenty-four members and the first year has a membership of forty-six. Everything in the high school is carried on in a systematic manner and the student who goes through the school am: does his work properly is ready for almost any university in the country. The chemical labratory, which heretofore has been in the basement has been moved to the second floor. It is fitted up in first-class condition and is certainly not only a credit to our schools but also to our city. Among other advantages edit* tallied in our high school is the library' which contains over a thousand volumes of well selected books! They are books that art useful to any literary student and we suggest to the high school pupils that they take advantage of the opportunities offered them and read as many of the books of the library as possible. Among the high school instructors we find Miss Felbaum at her post of duty again, having in charge the German and composition classes of the schools and right here we wish to say that in the whole course of our schools, composition is certainly one of the most important ones- and deserves much of the students attention. Judging from the work done last year we are safe in saying that the composition work will be excellently done this year. Miss’Manning has charge of the latin department and seems to be perfectly at home. Mr. C. L. Walters is teaching grammer, physical geography and . algebra in the high school.- In this line it would be difficult to find a more proficient teacher. Miss Segur is again on . duty, going into the depths of chemistry and mathematics for the benefit of the scholars. One of the best features in the schools which came to our notice is that of music. Thiß„ part of the school, which by the way is becoming one of the most important studies in every up-to-date school, is looked after by Miss Lincoln, who is among the best musical instructors in the state. We also looked into the seventh and eighth grades which are situated down stairs in the central build ing, where we found John Parish. Cal Kunkle and Miss Dora Peterson busily engaged in preparing their pupils for the High School. One of the most interesting places which we bad the pleasure of visit ing however, was the kindergarten department, whi< h is under the management of Miss Cora Shackley and to say that she handles her work well would be putting it very light. This room contains fifty-six students, girls and boys, who resemble the much talked of brownies more than anything we know of. The most of them are six years old and yet young as they are, ft is * r with ease that you can pick out the student and the sluggard. It is here more than anywhere, we need a good teacher for as “The twig i® bent, the tree inclineth.” Miss Shackley is surely the right woman in the right place. Owing to the fact that the First ward building is not completed, the basement is being used for the second grade. Here Miss Gongleton and Miss Snow are the teachers. Over all these able instructors,. Prof. Moffett keeps his eye and where a slip is made, he reminds '■ < „ ■ 'J '

them of it in his pleasant and yet able manner. On the whole our schools surely have as proficient a corps of teachers as any city school in the west, and they deserve your most earnest support. ■ The roomsaml hall are all clean and neat, Just us they should be fr health and comfort. The walls are decorated with pictures, the boards are clean and vases of bright How- : ers help in cheering up the stud cuts of each room. Water works ha ve been placed in the building co that at.an) time the scholars can have a drink of bright pure water. i The school is also lilted with every necessary chart and map which will benefit the student in grasping an idea. Among these we notice what is called the. Relief Maps of |he World. These show the exact . elevation of the 'and and the position of every river aud city of any prominence in the world. In conclusion, we wish to say that we are proud to make such ;l report of our schools and hope that our readers who are interested in the schools will visit them, where they will always be welcomed by Professor Moffett and his assistants.

B.—The crowd gathered, at Sharpshooter’s park, the spot selected for yesterday’s labor picnic, very slowly. At 1 o’clock there were probably not to exceed 1,000 people around the speaker’s stand.- Many of them were ladies. After that time there was a steady stream of people, flowing into the grounds and the available places were soon occupied. At 2:30 o’clock a mighty shout went up from the outskirts of the crowd and there was a great rush for the carriage occupied by Mr. Bryan, which had just then arrived within the enclosure of the park. Hundreds of people pressed forward seeking to shake Mr. Bryan by fee hand, ami the passage of the carriage through the crowd was somewhat -slow in consequence. He finally reached the speaker’s stand where he was received with prolonged applause. On the stands were seated Judge McConnell, Judge Prentiss and a large number of representatives of the trades unions of Chicago. Mi'- Bryan was introduced to his audience by Edward " Carroll, president of the buildings council, in a brief aud appropriate' address. Mr. Bryan took the 5:30 train on the Burlington road for Lincoln. Neb., stopping al, Aurora, Ills, for a 20 < injnute speech at about 6:30. There werPabout 400 peo pie there to see his departure, but no demonstration. An Associated Press reporter handed Mr. Bryan a copy of Mr. Watson’s speech yesterday at Dallas, Tex. “I hgve nothing to say on the subject at present.” said Mr. Bryan. “1 do care to discuss it. ’C On the trafii leaving Chicago was a reception committee from Aurora, and these gentlemen had prevailed on Mr. Bryan to. stop ‘ off 30 minutes and address them. When the train arrived at Aurfiru the platform was crowded with men, women and children, anxious to catch sight of The nominee and hear him speak. Across the. street from the railroad tracks a platform had been errected and Mr.' Bryan spoke to the audience from it. A, IT WAS SUPERB. •’ ■ The Labor Demount rat ion In the Indiana Belt.
