The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
Blest as the people of the United
States are with an overflowing abun
dance of the good things of this life it is
bard to conceive that twenty millions of
fellow mortals are slowly etarvirjg to
death ia Russia, and harder still to con
ceive of such terrible illustrations of
man's inhumanity to man as the dis
patches furnish us when speaking of
thts fami ne-strickeu land. Three men
were convicted of robbery.- They were
condemned to suffer punishment by the
knout. The poor wretches, who had
probably stolen only to keep themselves
from starving, died under the lash. A
man detected stealing a few turnips was
sentenced to penal service for life. The
rich merchants of St. Petersburg refuse
to give anything for their suffering coun
trymen. Collection boxes placed about
the corn exchange were found filled
with bits of tin and paper. In numer
ous instances where dealers received ex
orbitant prices for grain, bags were sent
to-the provinces filled with grass, sand
-and" bran. Many town officials refuse to
enroll starving peasants on the relief
list unless they first receive a bribe.
Corruption is wide spread,

Tinuer any circumstances is to. be depre
cated as a dread calamity, to be amply

in preserving peace. - Who doubts that
the Chilians would not soon cease their

Editor of the Chronicle:
.The following notes were gleaned con
cerning the schools during the fall' visit.
This was begun September 17th and,
with many interruptions, closed Decem
ber 18th: . ; ,' '
That portion of the county on this
side the DesChutes river and east of the
Canyon City road and - all that beyond
the Deschutes '"was reserved " for ' the
spring trip. All the rest of the county
was traveled over and all schools visited
that were in session. An exception
from this is made of the schools in The
Dalles, the town of Hood River and the
Cascade Locks, which will be , visited
during the winter..'.
. : The statement is again reiterated here
that in order for the superintendent and
the schools to work jointly, and in har
mony with each, other, the superinten
. dent must be informed, either by the
clerk, or tlie teacher, or bothj of the be
ginning of every school session. . The
necessity of this is apparent to" any one
who will stop and think a moment. To
time his visit so as to reach the greatest
number of schools, -he must know at
such time what schools are in session.
Again, how can the superintendent suc
cessfully assist in supplying the schools
with, teachers, as he is expected to do, if
he is left in tlie dark as to the result of
his efforts? Oflen, long after a tPacher
has left the office to supply a certain
place, it is accidentally learned that he
has been ingaged at another, and so the
muddle goes on. Much more might be
said in this line, but "A word to the
wise is sufficient. V
Mention is here made of every district
visited and I have endeavored to' make
note t all improvements made since my
last visit, Commendation and criticism
have alike been offered with ji view to
the welfare of the school. The world is
marching on, the school world too, and
the progress've ' schools are marching
with it.' Those who make no improve
ment will surely be left. If people
could only see that the advancement of
the school underlies all other advance
ments that of the family, the neighbor
hood, the state and the nation ; even
this money-loving age might understand
that it pays financially to invest in
good school.
District No. 2 of Hood River Vallev,
has K. S. Andrews employed. He is one
of the first grade teachers of the. county
and in a quret way is doing good work
there. He is always buying new books
and studying new methods. The direc
tors and patrons are to be commended
for their zeal in furnishing the bouse
with' apparatus and furniture. They
have lately put in new, patent single
seats, the only country district in the
county that has them.
Dictrict No. 4 has C. L. Gilbert for
teacher, who has taught here, I believe,
two years and a half. This is the largest
country school in the country, 54 pupils
being enrolled, and those who support it
deserve the highest praise; They have
made the experiment which some other
districts ought to imitate of having a
first class school at home, instead of
moving to town to 6end to School. The
house is supplied, it seemed to me, with
everything a teacher could ask for,
They have regularly voted t ten mill tax
and pay the teacher $75 per month. The
half day spent there was a happy one
indeed. Every recitation seemed a de
light to both teacher and pupils. The
progress of the latter certainly more
than justifies ti.e money spent.
H. L. Howe is teaching in No. o. Mr.
Howe is an old teacher, who having tried
business awhile has again returned to
the profession This is his second year
here. A . new porch has lately been
added to the house They have maps,
globe and dictionary. The house needs
painting, and reading charts and new
seats are needed. The district being
large, with a reasonable tax it might be
one of the first schools in the -country.
The school in No. 6 is small, only 12
pupils being present the day of. visit.
Mrs. Belle Graham is teaching. This is
her second year, and she is well liked.
Here we find one of the few log school
houses in the country. They have a
small globe, dictionary and a very fine
physiological chart.
Miss Ella Cooper was teaching her
second term in No. 7 and gave general
satisfaction I noticed a small globe,
dictionary and one wall map. The
house needs finishing.
No. 8 has a very nice house and very
well furnished. Some of the pupils here
are well "advanced. Miss Josie Spink
seemed to be doing good work for a
young teacher ' : . s
No. 9 has a small bouse but very well
finished and lurnished for a country
school. The school, is small, only seven
scholars being present. Miss Florence
Cram bas been out of teaching for some
time, but on reentering the profession
her heart seems to be thorougnly in the
work. " .
The house and surrounding in No. 21
Union School seems hardly in keeping
with the community. They need a new
stove, the house needs, brightening up.
and the grounds improved. Mrs. Esther
Menefee, the teacher, seems to have the
faculty of getting the good will of all the
pupils. .- . . ' - -
Iu No. 24 they have a very comforta
ble house, and very well furnished. I
round Miss Kittie Snllivan lately from
the Michigan normal school, is doing
good work here. - -' . .
' In No. 25 Miss Ettie Rowe has been
teaching her first school this summer
and is doing very well for a beginner.
They have a neat little house but need
water for the school.
In No. 28 I found the poorest house in
my travels. I have' since learned they
have repaired it and made it eomfort
abla. The school is quite small only six
pupils. being present. Miss Lily M. Loy
has a good method in the statements of
a problem on the blackboard.
In the Dufur 1 district, No. 29, they
have placed new seats up .stairs, also a
partition, making another- recitation
room. H. M. Pitman is .engaged ; as. an
assistant this year. He is known here
tofore as a good. teacher wherever be has
taught. ' Under the excellent manage:
nient of Mr. . Frazier the school has
turned out some good teachers for the.
county.' The grounds need improving
and, by rights, they will need a new
house soon. :
No. 30, in Long Hollow, has nice new
seats. Miss Kate Cronin has an -excellent
plan for keeping all the little ones
busy. -.:'
No. 33 has .built a new house and furT
uished it with new seats. The house,
though not finished, is a credit to the
district. Miss Lena Hadley was teach
ing her first school successfully.
No. 35 has a new yard fence which
adds greatly to the beauty and comfort
of thfe school grounds. They need new
blackboards, Miss Margaret Daly was
employed for the second year, showing
they appreciated her work.-
Miss Maggie Merrill was teaching
with success for the second year in'. No.
37. ; U
In No. 39 the house needs . finishing
and hew seats and apparatus are needed.
The bouse and f urhjisfeings are hot in
keeping with the' , neighborhood.. The
teacher, Miss Mary Hawthorne had a
nice little recitation In primary geog
raphy. " '.. ' - , - ". -'
No: 41, near Wamic has a-yery good
house and good seats with some
apparatus. The house needs painting
and also new seats. TheVihave a good
school under the leadership of J. F,
Nowlin, who is a wide-awake teacher.
He has a new method in numbering
classes that jrorked well. : . (. ,; ; i
: No. 43 has a large, warm house, but it
needs painting and new seats are needed
badly. O. B. Canrelly is teaching his
second term and his work is appreciated.
It is suggested here that each district
should have a name as well as a number.
Some of them have but many of them
have not. As it is necessary, if much
good be effected by the visit, to meet
school officers as well as teachers, the
statement is here made that if they will
only co-operate in this, the visit will be
timed and the date sent ahead for the
next trip, so that there may be a chance
for school officers and superintendent to
meet in each district. ' '
Attention is here called to the fact
that a plan is in consideration for grad
ing the schools of the county, notice of
which is soon to be given. It is to be
hoped that parents, teachers and all
friends of education will thoroughly dis
cuss the matter, that a proper solution
of the difficult problem may be found.
