MET Jim mil ixmm mmwmjjwara EAST SALEM SCHOOL A Fine Good Educational Sanitary Building With s. TALKS WITH THE TEACHERS. answers being given with prompti tude nnd correctness. Snellintrwords of one nnd two syllables was the Several of its Itooms Visited How Hie Scholars are Progressing. The East Salem school house is a substantial, commodious and hand somely finished frame building, eli gibly situated on the east side of the 0. & C r.iilroad track. It may be objected that more ornamentation Las been used than is necessary for a public school, but this has not been done at the cost of durability, and standing as it does in plain sight of the transcontinental traveler, a little extra expense is not to be grudged as au advertisement of the liberality of our people. "We built that school," said one of the directors, "from a picture we had made ; it is called the best piece of contract school architecture in the United States, and the taxpayers of the dis trict have the worth of their money." The school has a capacity for GOO scholars, with large halls upstairs and down for their assembling, and the egress is on so sensible a plan that the building can be emptied in three minutes. A very thorough system of sewerage is provided the building, which secures a good san itary condition for the locality. Yesterday our reporter took a walk out to this fachool, arriving in time to witness the assembly of the schol ars in the lower hall before they sap arated for their rooms. Boys and girls marched up from the basement by four stairways in single file, and arranged themselves in a hollow square, boys in the front rank and girls in the rear. The elder children began the muster, the intermediates followed and then the juveniles. Mi-- Scriber, the musical instructor, conducted the march played by two pupils on the piano, and the teach ers placed themselves to the right of their various classes. The march was rapid but orderly ; each conlin irent taking it3 place in lino without confusion until the largo hall was filled. "When the. muster was com pleted, some stirring songs were Ming with i'esonance and ani mation, and then the little folks sep arated lor ijieir school rooms. The effect of tliis muster and parade was pleaing to the beholder; and tho scholars socmed to enjoy it hugely. The fir-t room visited by our ro pirt t was Miss Laura Shaw's, first primary, on the second floor. This lady reports an enrollment of CA, and we counted 51 little folks pres ent at their desks. All teachers are not ufk I vith the faculty of intor itinr and drawing out the powers of young children. Success in this art may lie largely duo to acquired habit, but nature must supply the ground work. Wo listened with much gratification to a reading by theUelas from the object chart. Midi sentences as "the man is on a mat'' ; "tho man has a black um brella," the nouns being presented to the eye in pictures, were read in 'oncert with unfailing readiness. Several little tyros, whim called up to the chart, pointed out tho words as they were called for, and spelled them with great readiness. Attempts were made by tho class to conv ript letters on their slates, and in this exercise ono little girl, Carrio ewnouse. showed superior apti tude. Miss Shaw is deserving of praise for her successful performance i a ililllcult charge. The second primnry is under the 'aro of Miss Maria D'Arcy ; who has fifty names ourolled, and forty present. As wo entered a class of inenty small readers were struggling with a lesson in the second reader. 1k presence of a stranger enibar d these little folks, and repeat w encouragement was necessary to "?duce them to read with sufficient '"-tiuctness to be understood. Miss " Arey has brought her scholars Jyond the singsong which wearies uie H-nes of tho hearer, and a por ''' "flier class read with fluency. "cMde reading, spelling, writing.

SIR. VETXCY WILLIS' room was next visited, who tenches A and B classes, grade 1. When we entered the room the B grade was busy with a dictation exercise, and looking over the work of these scholars we found it generally creditable. A number of them seemed to be weak In the use of the apostrophe, -and were not clear in their understanding of the possessive case. After some talk with the class about grammar aud spelling, four members of class A went to the blackboard and wrote down forty words read ofi' by the teacher. These were mostly of one syllable, but be longing to the class of catch words. Chyle, chyme, thyme, thesis, niece, weir, lien, is a specimen of the vocabulary given, and these young ladies acquitted themselves of their difficult task with more than usual ability. Following is their standing: Miss Belle Aitkin, perfect; Miss Stella Griffith, 4 errors; Miss Mary Matthews, 4 errors; Miss Ida Pur vine, perfect. Wo should have mentioned that PitzerOhadwick, of B class in writ ing the dictation exercise, showed handsome calligraphy. Wo have only space to mention Miss A. Scribcr's room, -who teaches class B, grade 1, and has 80 scholars enrolled. We entered this lady's room just before the noon recess and had only time to witness n 11 n-k- board exercise in grammar, dia grammed according to the latest principles. QENKKAL NOTES. The order in all the rooms visited is excellent. Lofty ceilings and plenty of windows afford excellent ventilation, ample blackboard room is furnished, but the walls look bare through lack of adornment. Wo. desire to express our obligations to School Director G. P. Litchfield for polite attentions during our visit to the school. We shall take an early opportunity to visit the remaining rooms In this building. xluK ISK FLORELLA E.

Mr. Roland Reed appeared at the Detroit opera house last night, in his new comedy, "Humbug." This is the versatile Fred Maiden's latest play, and it is quite a new vein con sidered with reference to his oilier plays, all of which depend upon their serious interest. "Humbug" is a radical comedy. It is entirely fun ny, and one of tho cleverest things about it is the manner in which the fun is made cumulative. Thus the second act is funnier than the first, the third than the second. It is also ingenius the situation being new, the complications novel and in the amplest measure laughable, aud the movement natural and logical. The question of probability hardly enters into tho question of current comedy. "Humbug" is a noteworthy piece of writing. Mr. Reed's character is that of a shifty, good natured hum bug, who poses as .Inck Luster ; his performance is characterized by the dash which made his work in "Cheek" so popular, but it is an im personation on ti higher plane, and will be likely to stand tho test of time as a well-defined creation a figure of the comic drama with meat on it, not a wooden ljian that is moved only whon the string is pulled. Detroit Free Pross. At opera house next Saturday night. -o-- Under Arrest. This afternoon Polico Capt. H, Barndrick, deputy U. S. Marshal, brought one Plaster down from Eu geno for examination before U. S commissioner Walton on a eliargo of sending obscene matter through the mail. Plaster, it seems, wrote a letter containing some very insult ing language, to his sister-in-law, and her mother, tho language being too vile oven to beuttered In a crowd of men. Barndrick filed the conv plaint aud a warren t was issued yos terday. Plaster has engaged Geo, Washburue of Eugene to defend him, and will bearralnged this even ing and examined to-morrow. Wlicat Going Up. The wheat market seems to be gaining strength, as yestorday tho Salem Flouring Mills Company in creased its local oiler to sixty three cents per bushel, from sixty ono cts. oflbrcd tho day before. Although the millers trenerally fool wary of buying very much, yet there Is noth ing to indicate that tho market Is 'in danger of growing weaker. Local ly there Is not much wheat oflered for sale, the mills mentioned nbove not holding over 20,000 bushels In the warehouse, aud that Is owned by persons who are not anxious to sell. fill.,. m...1.a ....iinKilll. lwilJlja looks quite favorable for pereonS who hold any at this time.
