The beauty, if not the chivalry of
Wasco's capital was gathered last night

, A number of . citizens nave signed a
petition' to" 'the mayor and.' common

placed at the corner of Fourth and

will' show yoa a man' who; whe'ri a boy,
did not learn as he should have learned,
to pay that undivided Attention to bis

In the second place it is unjust both
to hia classmates that a child should be
permitted or compelled to be unnecessa
rily absent from his school duties. " Ev
ery' absence renders it necessary for the
teacher to do special work?' with ' the ab
sent hild when he returns in order that
the child may- not lose any portion of
the subject which the : clasa has gone
over in hia absence and which is necess
ary for the child's intelligent and profit
able continuation; of the subject. This
extra work done by the teacher is nearly
always at the expense of time or energy
or both that properly belong to the class
as a whole and not to any individual
member of it. : When the absence is un
avoidably necessary ; the teacher will
gladly make this extra expenditure of
time and strength - and. the clasa Will
ehtwM-fnllv aenniesce therein. .But When
the absence is unnecessary,, then the
necessity of the performance of this ex
tra labor is an iniustice, both to the
teacher and to the child's classmates.
In the next place the tax-payers of
this community and of this common
wealth, do not maintain public schools
as play places where children, whether
of their own volition or by and with the
consent of their parents, may attend
school or not just as it happens to please
them.
And ntrain. inasmuch as under the
laws of Vermont everv absence, excusa
ble or otherwise, diminishes to a certain
extent the district's share of the school
money, so when such absence is avoida
ble, the parent consenting to it, or
worse still, requiring it, in effect casts
upon all the-tax-pavers of this commu-
. . . ' . 1 1 l. ;
nity a certain nuiuuut, smau i"6u
be. of increased burden of taxation.
This again is manifestly unjust and in
consistent, with tne duties ana ooiiga-
tiona of good citieenship.
1 rest the matter nere,. trusting mat
the proper spirit will take Jt into con
sideration and that the result will be
more regular attendance on the part of
many and less frequent requests for ab
sence on grounds reasonably avoidable
and unnecessary.
I know that the best sentiment oi tne
community upon this subject is right
and. in complete accord witn wnat i
have stated above. It only , remains
then, for this "beat aentiment" to make
itaelf decidedly felt and those who might
otherwise venture will no longer dare to
run counter to it. The results - will be
moat beneficial to the schools and their
work. -
I have said the above in kindness
towards everybody - and from a sense of
duty. - I remain, dear . friends, your

The following communication clipped

much good sense and practical advice
that I should esteem it a favor if you
would'give it a place in your columns.

community to which it is addressed, and
that I give it my own unqualified appro

To the people of thia community in
creneral. and in particular to those who
have children in our Bchoola :
Dbak Fbikndb : It ia my conviction,
and not only inline, but it ia the convic
tion of other teachers in our school with
whom I have talked .wpon thia subject,
that there does not 'lst in this com
munity that strong sentiment that ought
to exist against absences froni school
work. Iu too many 'cases, parents not
onlv permit children, to absent them
selves from school but. worse still, act
ually detain them from their school
work for reasons that are "neither good
nor satisfactory
' The illness of the abeent pupil, or ill
bees of the family are always aatisfactory
.reasons for absence and where honestly
given will always meet with ready ac-.
ceptance. But beyond thjese there are
very few really good reasons that can
be advanced for the detention of a child
front his school duties, -and especially so
when considered 8ide by eide with rea
sons like the following against such de
tentiqtE .-
Tb-ii, with, it ist positively harmful
to the 'developing. cliaii)'!,iV of a "child
either to encourage hlviior to pttmit
him to forsake bis school duties for any
reasSns other than those most abso
lutely imperative, j His school work is,
or should be, his chief business' at his
time of life and every other call whether
of asocial, business or educational na
ture phould be . made. . to . Dena to it.

can neither get np nor down. A wagon'
has to leave the grade and "go square
down 4or up, as" the case may be, the
pointof the mountain "where it ia so
steep that one has to hold on with his
teeth." How long will this state of af
faire continue? Ia there n man in the
three settlements of Tygh, Wamic and
Wapinitia who has energy enough to
sav to his neighbors "Come and let us
build the new grade and remove this
blot upon civilization' and humanity?
Now is a time when work on the ne ir
grade might be started." A month or
two from now everybody will be at the
plow. Must another year pass without
anything having been done to remedy
this evil? -
The above had scarcely been set in
type when Frank Dean, of Wamic,
called at the Chronicle office and in
formed the writer that in attempting to
come up the particular place referred to,
on his way to town yesterday, hia hack
slipped off the grade and pulled the
team over the bank with the result that
the hack ia badly .damaged while the
horses fortunately escaped with nothing
worse than some bad bruises. This sort
of thing has bees happening at that
place every year or so for a long time.
Three or four -years ago W. H. Butts, of
thia city waa going down the hill with a
four-horse load of wheat and . at the
exact place' where Mr. Dean met the
mishap, the' wagon left the grade and
waa dashed to ' pieces in- the canyon a
hundred feet below. A valuable span 4
of wheel horses waa killed on the soot,
and the leaders only escaped because
they had been tied "behind the wagon for
convenience going down the hill.
Again we demand -how long is this
state of affairs to .last? While it is not
possible to make a good grade at that
particular point it could certainly be
worked so that it would slope toward
the hillside instead of towards the bluff,
and the supervisor, whoever he is,
Bhonld see that this is done. But a new
road altogether is needed and tor cms
the county court would certainly do
something generous, but it ia only fair
that the people of the three settlements
interested should first show a disposi
tion to help themselves. . When this is
done the Chronicle and its friends at
this end of the line will do everything in :
their power to help the matter along.
Besides a liberal appropriation from the
county court the Chronicle believes
that a generous subscription could be
raised 'here ; but the people themselves
must start the ball a rolling. Will they
do so or wait till some more teams are
killed and wagons destroyed and per
haps human Uvea lost? We shall see.
