Mian Franci Curran liua the firnt ami hall of the ih-coii1 gra.Ie in tier room antl liai 01 liltle trota to look afUT. Mia Curran hua ierfect control ol her pupilei and they appear to be making nplendiclj proureaa, Judtciug by aamples of their : woik Innpected. In tne room of Mia hatelle Bracken is half of tne aecond graileand the third and fourth grade and 0) name appear upon the roll. At the time of the news paper man's vinit the entire claii were taking their physical culture exercises and the way the little fellows swunv their arms about and expanded their cheat would have aatoniabed the child ren of forty year ago, wboae tired belies and rest ess limbs were afforded do relief from the rack of sitting on a wowlen bench, without back, or deak. Miss Ilracken lias a acliool that she may well be proud of, for her pupils display an enthusiasm in their claw work that indicates that the examination at the close of tiie term will bring many pro motions . Miss Henrietta Dotaon has charge of the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades and has 55 children under her charge.' The pupils in this room appeared to lie well np In their studies for their age. Their work in the various studies pursued show a thoroughness that is highly creditable to the teacher. Once a month the pupils are required lo make a enmpoaition of one hundred words on some snbjoct. The papers inspected were well written and the diction good and the work howed that when these little fellows be come men and women and have occasion to write a letter r article they will be able lo express themselves clearly and in a manner that will cause them do embarasainent. Prof. Gray ha thn eight, ninth and tenth grades with an enrollment of 41 pupils. The course of study includes, w-.i.i... k nunl.r hrnclia tiurtitiHd WWve HU . w. - by the eight grade class, algebra, geom etery, philosophy, rhetoric, drawing and book-keeping and such is the thorough ness with which their work is done that graduates from this school have no dif ficulty at all in entering the different collegesof the stale. In fact the college faculties rank the Parkplnce Gladstone School equal to the best city schools in the state. A special feature of Prof. Gray's work is that be strives to make the education of the graduates from his school as practical as possible, so that when they go out into life they will be equipped for actual business, and not find half of thoir education a useless ac complishment. The Enterprise can say without flattery or a show of partiality, that the Parkplace-Gladstone high school has a greater proportion of unusu ally bright and studious boys and girls than any other school in the county, and this statement is bourne out by teachers who have visited this school. These boys and girls improve every moment of their time and are not attending school for the fun to be had, or because it is the wish of their parents, but give evidence that they have an object in lite to work for and prepare to be able to fill tbeir alloted stations in a manner that will bring to them both success and honor . While this school has none of the rigi dity of military discipline, yet the order in all the rooms is all that the strictest disciplinarian could desire. There ap pears to be a perfect unison of action among the teachers, and between the teachers and their pupils there is a harmony and mutual interest that effectually precludes the possibilities of anv disorder, or inattention to their studies on the part of the scholars. The monthly reports Bhow that the cases of punishment are few and far between. The dismissal and fire drills are as perfect as in any school in the state. Promptly at the tap of the bell for dis missal, the monitors open the doors and take their places in the halls and the scholars put away their books and place their desks in order and at the second tap march to the cloak rooms and put their wraps on and return to the school rooms, remaining standing until the third tap of the bell when they march in columns of twos into the balls and out of tha building, keeping perfect step to the beat of a bass and snare drum. In the fire drill practice the 2'JO odd scholars have beeu marched out of the building in a minute and a half after the alarm was given, and this without pre vious warning, the alarm being given by members of the school board to te3t the efficiency of the drill. The school hits a library of 150 vol umes of well selected books and is adding to the list each month. The scholars are now making an effort to procure an oriiiiii for the m:h(xt with every pro-M-:t of giKxeaa. The rwini are well auppliwl with tiltt kbr'l apac, niapa, cliMrtn fW..

There Is ample play grounds for dry weather but during the wet (lavs of the winter months the children arn onable to take the exerclaeg at the intermission and noon hour that they should, there being no playroom in the baaemeDt, there being only a small room excavated for the furmv-e with which the building is heated. The building is one of the finest in the county and is a credit to the enterprise and public spirit of the people of these two thriving suburbs of Oregon City. Much of the success of the Parplace Oladaione school is due to the school board of this district, which is composed of C. II. Dauchy, chairman, Capt J. T. Apperson and Capt. W. H. Smith, with H. T. Sladen, clerk. This board, instead of making one or two prefunctory visit to the school during the year, has exer cised a close watch over the affairs of the school and thediHtnctand have sustained and heartily seconded the teacher in their work. Jbeir good judgment I shown in their selection ot teachers, they hiring none but the best and keeping them terra after term, Prof. Gray being now on his filth term m principal of the school. . KEEP THE ROAD NEW. Do Mot Glra It a Chanco to WaH Owt by Kegiectiog Bcpaira. In England they have not only good bnt superlative roads, and tbey are kept right up to standard at all seasons of the year and from day to day. Water it the worst enemy of Rood roads. Under - a careless system of maintenance and repair water will destroy road faster than ceaaeles, heavy t raffia Knowing the work of water on roads, the high way authorities of England do not al low it to set a start, and therefore washed and gullied roads are unknown i except, perhaps, when there come an extraordinary storm. Ail over the United Kingdom the sys tem is generally the some in its main features. In the first place, there have been good roads bnilt for a long series of years. They are properly drained, in spected daily at the least, and every lit tle wear, a hole as large aa a filbert, is promptly repaired and made as good as the rest of the road. There is no chance for a road to wear out It is ever new, and its level and crown never vary. That is what permits the horseless car riugo or the carriage drawn by horses to exert their greatest usefulness, and it is all on the side of economy. New Lon don Day. Should Klile Whrela.' A rider who has hud much experience over all sorts ot roads makes this sug gestion: "I am firmly convinced that a road inspector or superintendent of road repairers should be required to make his rounds on a bicycle. In no other way is it possible for him to judge so accurate ly of the condition of the roads. And this applies to asphalt as well as mac adam. It is the enstom, I believe, on railroads for the inspection car to cany a vessel containing paint or other color ed matter, which slops over whenever an uneven place in the track is passed, and thus shows where repairs are neces sary. I do not undertake to say that this idoa conld be applied to onr macadamis ed roads and asphalted streets, bnt there is no doubt in my mind that a man on a bicyole can form the most accurate es timate of the need of repairs on the roads he passes over. Of course, when he enoounters a depression it is easy for him to mark it some way, preliminary to the making of such repair as may be needed." Want Better Boiula. Many of the teamsters and farmers throughout the region are talking of forming an organization to adopt reso lutions and also collect subscriptions, which are to be used in compelling the various supervisors to furnish better roads. It is stated that many of the roads are in a miserable condition. Shenandoah (Pa.) Herald. A Link In the Chain. Plans are being perfected for building a macadam road between Saratoga and Glens Falls, N. Y. The farmers along the route are in favor of it and agree to beautify the road with shade tree and ornamental shrubs. It seems proper that Judge MacAduma should be in charge of this macadam undertaking. Dad For the Koada. Weed grown ditches and roadbeds low er in the center than at the sides consti tute a combination that fails to fill con tract requirements to maintain good roads. THE CITY ELECTION. Th! Kon-i'artiaan Ticket F.le:t Major and Two t'ouncllmen. I he The city election laat Monday paused off very quietly, the inclemency of tha weather tending to make the vote lighter than it would otherwine have been, and the jug-handle condition of the mayoral ty situation taking the spirit out of the contest. The non-partisan ticket elected E. G. Caufield, mayor, by 30) plurality; H. E. Straight, treasurer, by 102 plurality ; and Frank Bunch, councilman in the First ward, and James Roake in the Second ward. The citixens'-taxpayers' ticket elected It. D. Wilson councilman in the First ward, and II. E. Harris in the Second. Biz hundred and seventy-six vote were caat aa lollowa : 1st ward 110 2nd ward 75 Mayor "A E. U. Caufield L. I.

At the adjourned session of the city council Wednesday evening an ordinance authorising the purchase of 15) yards of crushed rock to repair streets was read and ordered published. Warrant was ordered drawn in favor of Sidney Smyth for $.300 for the Seventh street improvement. The street jcommittee reported favor ably on the application of the heirs of tbe Stratum estate to pay their assess ment bv issuing bonds under the Ban croft Bonding Act, provide! tbe appli cant would pay the extra expense. The yote of Monday' election was canvassed and the result declared as published elsewhere in this issue. Mayor Straight thanked tha council for their uniform courtesy and consider ate treatment during the year. It was . ordered that the hoi J-over councilmen should give tbe new mem bers an oyster supper. Justice Schoebel's CoarU Injustice Schuebel'n court Saturday William Schuix and Tom Dinnel, charged with robbing Cbas. Sets' saloon at Lib eral, were held to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $500 each, in default of which tbey went to jail. The state was represented by Deputy Prose cuting Attorney Dimick, while the de fendants were represented by Geo, C. Brownell. Tbe hope of the officers that these ar rests would give some clue to the numer ous petty thetts that have occurred in the Molalla country the past year was only partially realised. They were not allowed to hear each other's testimony, and their stories flatly contridict each other on the most essential points, and even the testimony of Mrs. Schuix, who was held as a witness for the examina tion, was at vsrUnce with that of the other two. Both Schuix and Dinnel dis claim any knowledge of how the liquor found under Schulz' bouse got there, each accusing the other of baying put it there. Tbe examination before the grand jury promises to bring out some interesting phases in the case. Chris Geilson and Louis Rasmusson, arrested by Constable McCown Tuesday night for the larceny of three tons of hay from Henry Kernig, whose place they rent, were given a hearing Wednesday evening before a jury and discharged. Tbe testimony was very conflicting and deemed insuffieent to sustain the charge of laroency. G, B. Dimick appeared for the plaintiff and Geo. C. Brownell for the defendant. B. A. Clarke, aneeted in Portland Wednesday for the larcency of some old iron from the McGuire mills at Milwau kee sometime last October, will have a hearing before his honor, Justice Scheu- bel at 2 p. ra. this (Friday) afternoon.
