Omalm's School * .The report of the board of education

which has just been issued from the pressis ono of moro than usual interest. Theinformation which it affords Is fuller thanthat given by any of 1U predecessors , andthe Illustrations of the various schoolbuildings are a feature which will bo ap-

preciated.¬

. The larger portion of the pam-phlet

¬

is naturally taken up by the report ofSuperintendent James which gives acomprehensive resume of the history ofthe past year In our schools andwhat is perhaps moro Importantis Illlcd with many valuable suggestionsupon educational questions relating to tlioneeds of our public school system ,

Omaha's school population , accordingto the last census , was 11802. Of thisnumber 0,273, only are enrolled in ourpublic schools. Air. James notes a ten-dency

¬

on the part of parents to patron-ize

¬

private schools , and attributes a de-

crease-

in the per cent of enrollment toschool population largely .to the openingof the German and church schools. Thistendency is general throughout the coun-try

¬

, anil is not at all peculiar to Omaha.With the growth of cities in populationnnd wealth , private schools invariablyonorato in attracting pupils from thepublic schools proner. Omaha is to bocongratulated that the excellence of herfree school system has maintained itsreputation so well against atl comers thatduring the past year !))97 moro pupils worein attendance that at any previousperiod. There arc other gratifying re-

sults¬

to note in the year's work , The pnrcent of daily attendance has materiallyimproved , and the number of cases oftardiness has decreased. Tito mem-bership

¬

of the schools has reached70 per cent of the total enroll ¬

ment. During the entire year onlysixteen cases of corporal punishmenthave been reported. Commenting onthis last fact the superintendent very sen-sibly

¬

queries whether the roil cannot boentirely abolished from the school room.-

Mr..

. James outers into a lengthy andforcible inquiry upon the nroper func-tions

¬

of our public schools and the course ;

of study which they should bo expectedto provide for their patrons and makesan earnest plea for the higher mathemat-ics

¬

, theoretical and applied science andthe classics as parte.of the frco educationwhich the state should affordto its citizens. Ho believes ,

and very rightly , that the highschool should bo the cap stone of thepublic school system , able and ready toprovide a culture demanded by the agonnd required in the over increasing strug-gle for individual pro-eminence. Ho urgesan enlargement of the high school courseinordcrto meet the demands of a con-stantly

¬

increasing class of citizens whodesire to fit their children for college , andwoh if such facilities are not provided willtransfer their allegiance to private orchurch schools.

The superintendent strikes homo whenho declares that the employment of in-

competent¬

toucliprs on sentimentalgrounds is n wrong to the chil-dren

¬

and to the interestsof the schools which when once com-mitted

¬

can never bo repaired. Ho callsthe attention of the board of education tothe fact that Omaha , with the high sala-riespaid , can have the best in the countryif she will only take them. Outsidepressure upon the board , appeals to as-sist

¬

the nccdv but inexperienced , andurgent applications on the part of rela-tives

¬

in behalf of needy friends , have toooften boon successful. As Mr. James says :

It sometimes becomes very difllcult to re-sist

¬

these appeals ; but to employ a poorteacher , or any other than the best that canbo obtained , on account of a tale of sorrow ,or through the persuasion of Influentialfriends , Is to defraud little children of whatIs their rightful duo. There are many excel-lent

¬

and needy young women , with Influ-ential

¬

friends , who can never become goodteachers ; and when to the smallest extentthe welfare of needy applicants is made par-amount

¬

, and the schools are administered inthe Interests of others than the children , agreat wrong Is done a wrong that can neverbo repaired. The Importance of maintaininga hinh standard In the selection of teachersIs not likely to bo fully appreciated. Thecbaractcrof the teacher Is the mostImportantfactor In maintaining asystom ot schools. Aloss of property may bo repaired , but an In-

ferior¬

teacher means the loss of opportunitieswhich can never come ngaln.

The school report for 1885 is a ro port of-

progress. . It shows that there has beenhard nnd united work on the part of allthe officials and teachers intrusted withour educational system. , The results aregratifying , lint there is still room foradvancement. The conoluding words ofthe suporlntondont's report rovcal thepossibilities and point to the goal whosoattainment is the desire of all patrons ofour school system :

The city of Omaha Is pourlnjr out moneylike water for llui support of the publicschools. Ilnrdly another city In the countryIs as generous. Attention Is drawn to usfrom afar tor the lavish outlay with whichthe schools are supported. We who are Incharge of them should aim to make thorn thebest In the land. This city should bo as em-inent

¬

for the uxcollonce of her schools as forthe liberality of her people In supportingthem , if nuy schools costing less thau oursare as good , or any costing the same nro bet-tor

¬

, the fact should stimulate us to greaterdiligence In our endeavors to luurcasa theirelllcluncy. 1 have no desire to BOO the peopleof Omaha pay loss for education , bul I earn-estly

-

hope thiU tlio scJisals iuay bo so mlmi'n-( stored us to reach the highest dogieo of ox-collouco.

'JTho National Trail.The farmers of western Nebraska are

protesting vigorously against the pro-posed

-

national cattle trail from Texasinto our state. This suhomo of the stockraisers calls for a strip of land six miltswide on which no settlement shall bo par-milted for a term of years , and whichchilli bo open for the UFO of stockmen andthulr herds passing from the broodinggrounds ot the south to the feedinggrounds of the north. The Governmenthas been exceedingly liberal withtlio ranch men. It Ifos permittedthem to occupy the notionaldomain free of cost , it has winked blind-ly

-

whllo the millions of acres of availableagricultural lands have boon taken upunder the pre-emption and timber cul-ture

¬

laws for ranch purposes , and foryears raised no protest iigamst the unau-thorized

¬

fencing in of largo sections ofcountry by the cattle baroni and theiremployes. The same arguments whichwore used to defend the uggrodsions ofthe oattlo kings in occupying Immensetracts of country to U o detriment of settle-oionturn

-

new being uoad to'lobby throughthe national trail job. Congress i toldthat the land proposed to be sot apart Is-

a dcsort , and that it neicr "can be madeuseful for agricultural purpp ej. As a

matter of fact , portions of it are Alreadyoccupied by Nebraska farmers , nnd theentire tract in this stnto will bo coveredwith settlers inside of two years.

The best national trail for all concernedis ono which will run on wheels upon ironrails. The stock grower must not bo per-mitted

to block the path of the settlor.-Ho

By Dynamite.Organized labor , through the trades

unions ot Chicago , raises its indignantvoice against the red handed anarchistsof that city whoso death dealing bombshave delivered a staggering blow to theinterests of working men and workingmen's organizations. The scoundrels ,

who nretondcd to bo advocating thecause of labor from behind the mask ofmurder and arson , are repudiated byevery working man in America whoseeks lo improve his , condition by thelawful methods of a free democracy.The dynamite which exploded in theEighteenth street riot sent a shockacross the Atlantic where Amorican'citi-zens

-

and American working men arc nowreceiving the abuse of the English pressas enemies of order and civilization. EvenIreland's cause is menaced by the reportof the Chicago bomb. The opponents ofhomo rule are using the incident as an ex-

ample¬

of the methods used by the pro-fessed

¬

friends of Ireland whoso moneyand influence have assisted so materiallyin pushing that great issue to the front inthe British parliament.

The anarchists must go. They are a for-eign

¬

growth , a national result of despot-ism

¬

, but with no reason for existcnco inthis free republic. Mr. Dana , oHho NowYork Sun , puts tlio case in his usual con-cise

-

and torso language when ho says :

Liberty of speech Is the right of every manIn this country , but liberty of murder Is theright of none.

The miscreants who como hero with bombsand dynamite , and with the avowed purposeof Killing those who do not please them ,

should bo dealt with In the sternest and juostrelentless man nor. There Is no room forthem In this country , and the places they oc-

cupy¬
