Kntkhi'Iiirk Hnt Mondiiy aftornoon of

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

to eiiilaiixer 'lie health of the children.
The liuht i not to vA it hould be,
there being windows on only two aideg
of each of the room and the walla beinn
pUatered rotitfh and of a very dark tint,
owinif to the black earn! uie.l in the
,ll0rari a.Mn it try'm on the acholar'a
e Qn a jf tne walls were
Kjven a w(lite c0t it ould add very
materially to the light of the rooms and
thus obviate the danger they are now un
der of injuring tbeir eyes.
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.

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

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.
