The announcement is made that in
pu rsuance ! Of Secretary. Manning s
policy to reduce ' the, force i of em
ployees in his department wher e it
could be done without detriment to
tlie public interests ther- services of
three hundred etore keepers, gaugers,
etc, have been ; dispensed with since
March, the averge per diem Of whom
was four .dollars. Here is a consider
able of a lopping off in the matter of
expense which in the course of a year
would amount to a large sum ., The
Secretary has also made a reduction
in the cleik force of his department;
In the' other departments also there
have been numbers of removals of
unnecessary employees, many of
whom . were holding- sinecures and
drawing pay, for party services or as
the favorites and hangers on of men
who bad influence wiih past adminis
trationg. -There is no' foolishness in
1 his administration when it comes to
business, and no making of soft places
when party strikers wilt be housed
and fed at the public expense, with
out rendering any equivalent for the
money they, draw.' " -
It is pretty well demonstrated by
this time that the heads of tha re
spective departments in Washington
not only talk.reform but practice it,
and that the government is to be run
upon business principles pure and
simple. ' At -the end of the present
year when the balance sheet is struck
and the expenses of running the ma-
chine are shown in comparison with
past administrations under Republi
can regime,' the people will see the
result in figures that speak for them
selves. . ' ,

William J. Bingham, teaches but six

. ' RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
"The receipts : of . the schools, as
well as the expenditures, were about
$600 less than the previous year. The
salaries of. the othcers, teachers, and
janitors were $8,600. All the other
expenses of the schools, which include
the yearly supply of wood and ; coal.
the digging of a well for the colored
school, furniture, stoves, school regis
ters, erasers, crayon, brooms, lumber,;
nails, lime, freight, drayage, repairs,,
interest insurance, printing, and all
the necessary incidental expenses,'
amounted to only $800, making the
total expenditures of the schools $9,
200.
"$3,500 of this amount was realized
from the special city tax for school
purposes, $3,700 from the State; , and
county school tuna, $ suu was donated
by Dr J.' L...M. "Curry, from the Pea-
body Educational Eund, $900 was left
over from last year, and the remaind:
or was received irom donations,
school .exhibitions,: - and outside
sources. ; ; ? t v . ' , '" . i -;i
"It will be seen from the above stater
ment that the expenditures for school
purposes have; actually been -Jess
than they ought to be. Economy is
to be encouraged : but too close shav
ing in educational, as well as in other
affairs, is not to : be ; desired. T he
schools have Buffered from the want
of maps, 'globes, charts, and other
supplfes, because the school fund, did
not warrant their purchase. . '
,t t HEALTH AND ATTENDANCE " '
"During the vear -that ' has iust
ended.- the schools have been ; obliged
ta contend with some sickness among
the children 01 the city, which: has
affected, somewhat, their - usually
good attendance, me rules in i re
gard to the care of th health of j the
children; however, are thorough and
strict, and they have been as : well
protected from exposure as " they
would have been nao they remained
at' home. :,. r .iis iv'i
Tardiness m tihe school has shown
a most gratify ing decrease. This has
been brought about by tne earnest
efforts of the teachers and the praise-.
worthy, ambition of the pupils.- By
the cordial co-operation of the parents
of the. children, this evil can
be reduced to the minimum. - As a
rule, the children attend school when
ever they possibly can, and ' an in
creasing love ior school and ail mat
pertains to it. Is observable on all
sides. " ,
-., -; . TEACHERS SHOULD IMPROVE." .
"It has been the earnest deaire and
constant aim of most of our teachers
to acquaint themselves with the best
methods of teaching. This is exactly
right. t JNo teachers should be re-em
ployed who do not keep posted in the
literature of thier profession and do
not show an earnest desire for self
improvement. . If any school in the
land is using better methods 'of in
struction than ours, it is the duty of
our teachers to find . them out and
profic by the discovery. .
. "It should be th duty of every
teacher in the school to take advant
age of the opportunity to attend the
summer session of one of our State
Normal Schools, and of these . who
never taught, it should be demanded.
"There is too much of a tendency on
the part of young people everywhere,
after obtaining a position, to rely up,
on the influence of their friends to
keep them -from losing it, rather than
upon their own efforts to deserve, it.
They are altogether too willing tL
settle down into a life of inglorious
mediocrity.; - The best teachers in our
schools should be expected to be bet
ter teachers next year than , now,
and the new teachers," who ; do not
post themselves in the theory and
rac ice of teaching, - and seek to
earn every real improyemet' in the
profession, ehould be asked to make
way for those who will.:.
" THE FUTURE OP THE SCHOOLS
" "The public school ' system Is a
great corporation,, comprising large
interests, and requiring great wisdom
and ability for' the'; management of
its affairs. It has its board of direc
tors, its officers, and subordinate co
workers, whose faithfulness and skill
determine its character and useful
ness,. Its stockholders are those who
share its benefits in the education of
their children, and the promotion-:of
public interests.; ; Unlike many other
institutions,;' its stockholders have,"
at all times, a free opportunity to in-,
vestigate the methods of operation
-adopted, to compute the. amount of
profit they are deriving from , their
investment; to encourage meritorious
service, and to utter their protests
against abuses,; The. future, of- this
great enterprise," whether prosperous'
or disastrpus,will most clearly de-:
pend upon the intelligent, wise, and'
vigilant action Of those most directly
Interested in its success, a What the
schools shall be, will be determined
by ; what : the; people require ; and
what they are willing to; contribute,
to bring them up to a proper stans
dard of excellence." ' , ' C
- ' CONCLUSION. ' 4 .
He' concludes by ; thanking 1 the
members of the old board of commis
signers for their uniform consideras
tion and hearty - support, and ex
presses ah earnest hope that the new
board will continue to extend to him,
in the discharge of all his duties, the
same confidence and .thouehful
co-
operation - , '

unnecessary to state here that those
who went thither to .witness . some
thing "grand" were not disappointed
in toeir. expectation ; ior m such - an
elegant and beautiful manner was it

upon actresses further " advanced in
