IMPRESSED Willi What He Saw nt the Public Schools. l?d. Review ; I was very forcibly impressed in a visit of two hours to our public school, nud my concep tion of educating the rising genera tion was intensified, nvcry onecau- not be n principal of an institution of learning like this. Prof. Alder- son must have acquired ability to meet the requirements. Upon him rests n grcnt responsibility in the general management of such an in stitution. Then the necessity of competent teachers witli personal individuality to care for their par ticular department under the ccncrnl direction and dictation of the prin cipal. I was attracted by the stu diousuess of the scholars and the effort put forth by the teachers to thoroughly rivet the lesson of the text books on their minds. A sys tem in one room in the History les son was to have scholars draw a map of the lesson. In another room the teacher used the object lesson on cof fee production by giving each pupil grains of coffee to lie used in the il lustration. In the primary department I was much interested in the phonic drill work, which is certainly an cmcicut plan to lay a lasting foundation to make the child independent in pro nunciation. The physical drill to exercise the entire body is of great advantage when the miud has a tendency to become weary. These exercises re lease the mind and bring the mus cles into action, thus preparing them to take up the mental work again. Another Wing that attracted my attention was the unique system of controlling over doo girls and boys in the match from the rooms to the separate basements, nud then to the rooms, which I will not undertake to describe, but if any one wants to see 11 fine sight I would advise them to view this drill and match. It seemed almost (lerfeet to me. 1 heie is u special interest at pies- cut centered in the graduating class of the Hlh grade. It has 20 pupils nud tvill graduate l-'eb. 1 next, nud will take the state examination Jan. 2.t mid 25. This will eulatge the high school to about ,o pupils. A new system will be taken up in the 7th, Nth and otli grades, known as depailmeiit work. In this system the teachers htivcchurgcof the same studies in nil tlnce grades. There is not loom enough to take care of all the pupils nt piesent, and it will be necessary to tent one or two rooms the first of the year. This denotes giowth and demand. I came away from the school with greater admiration mid intensified interest nud pride in the excellent system that had been introduced and maintained for the education of the children. If any are disMed to criticise or find fault with the school or faculty it would be well for them to visit nt id acquaint themselves witli the above wotk. I hey will 110 doubt see many things in 11 dif ferent light than they have hereto fore. A VlSJTOU. BEGIN WORK Preliminary Work on (he Packing IMant l-nsl of the CI!) The engineer who will have charge of the work on the $2,000, 000 packing plant to be built by the Swift's east of the city is on the ground and iiumeioiis contracts were let the first of the week for dredging the sloughs nud filling the low grounds, The surveys for the plant and the new town were com jilcted a couple of months ago. The line of the spur tracks for the electric and transcontinental roads have also been staked. The new plant is intended lo in elude, besides the stockyards nud feeding K.'its, killing and cunning departments, as well as others to convert the refuse into marketable commodities, It will have a ca pacity for handling the entire offer ings of the western ranges and give employment to 1.500 to 2,500 -opIc The shipping facilities arc tin equaled. Besides the river and ocean going vessels, three great transcontinental railroads will have access to the plant.
