Tbe Kortner Principal of Rolf

Inaugurated a KlKht for
Better Ncuool at w
Halem.
Tbe Journal says: "City Superin
tendent L. R. Traver lias taken up
earuet-tly the work of rcoiganizing the
Salem public schools.
There is urgent noecessity for this, as
Salem lias dropied sadly behind other
towns in the state iu some features of
public school work.
For the jast two years some teachers
have had a dozen or twenty children in
their rooms, while others had fifty.
Asa result tle children iu the crowded
rooms could not make their grades, and
many diopped out of tho schools.
Under this system the larger boys and
girls have abondoued the public schools
before they could fairly read or write
English.
They have flocked to private schools,
business college, law and medical college,
many of them unable to spell, punctuate
or capitalize.
Trof. Traver'g earnest labors to put
Salem public schools on a better footing
will be appreciated by all who love the
American free school."

Washjsotox, Oct 10. The Grand
Army of the Republic today decided, by
a large vote, to hold itscncampiucLt in
l!K)3 at San Francisco. PrJctically the
only competitor was Atlantic City, but
few votes being cast for Saratoga. The
chances of the last mentioned place
were destroyed by the decision of the
New York delegation to support San
Francisco, and when the solid vole of
that delegation was cast today for the
Pacific Coast city it was rccogniaed that
Atlantic City's prospects also were very
slim. General Shafter made the s;k-oc1i
nominating San Francisco, while De
partment Commander Hall, of New
Jersey, named Atlantic City. The vot
was: San Francisco, 573 ; Atlantic City,
178. The selection of San Francisco
was then made unanimous.

a very large building will accommodate
not only all the school children, of Ilay
