NORTH SALEM SCHOOL.
i Shabbj', Inadequate Building, hut
Excellent Work Done There.
In our school reports we hnvo de
voted clue spa.ee to the East Salem
school, and the school in South
Salem, and now wc propose to give
a column to describing the condition
of school affairs in North Salem.
The building is pleasantly situated,
with ample ground around it, and
when the maples, that were set out
in the spring, shall have attained
proper growth, there will be refresh
ing shade on all sides. But the
building is incommodious and in
a sad state of disrepair. Since It was
built, some fifteen or twenty years
a"0, the population has grown be
yond the accommodation afforded,
and the dilapidated, untidy appear
ance within and without, does vio
lence to the sense of the becoming.
The taxpayers naturally feel dissa
tisfied at the neglect of their wants,
when so handsome and expensive
a building has been put up in East
Salem. During tho summer recess
a thorough renovation should be
made, and a room ndded to meet the
requirement of that section.
Joseph A. Sellwood is the princi
pal of this school, and his sole as
sistant Miss Maggie Cosper. In the
professor's room we found thirty-five
scholars present, although the aver
age attendance is given at forty.
Class A of the third grade were busy
with a review lesson in reading, and
answered with edifying promptitude
and readiness a series of questions
growing out of this study. Mono
syllables, dissyllables and polysyl
lables were dcAned ; tho character
of the various accents used described,
diphthongs and other orthographic
peculiarities explained.
B class of the same grade was
then examined in geography, Idaho
and Arizona being the subjects of
review. The boundaries, rivers and
mountains; chief towns and princi
pal products were given with a read
iness that showed the lesson had
been well learned.
Classes A and B, grade 2wero also
successfully put through a review
lesson in the same branch of study,
class A devoting its attention to Ar
izona and Alaska, and B class tell
ing what it knew about tho New
England states. These exercises
were convincing to the visitor that
the lessons aro thoroughly taught
in the North Salem school, and tho
faculties of the scholars so stimula
ted as to profit by what they learn.
B class, grade one, was then called
up for a grammar lesson. Tho
noun was tho object of inquiry, and
its eight forms of construction given.
It is complained by some philologi
cal writers that the English is a
grammarless tongue. "Wo have not
cases enough for our nouns to ex
press the various relations in which
they are placed, and the indeclinable
form of our adjectives, pronouns,
and indeed, all classes of words, de
prives our expression of many
shades of mode and tense. This was
shown in tho exerclso under con
sideration. This examplo was given,
"John strikes Robert with a stick."
John is nominative, Robert objec
tive, and in what caso is stick? In
tho Latin it would be ablative, tho
object by which a thing is done.
We could hardly follow Prof. Sell-
wood's class in tho conventional
rules supplied by tho text book, but
wo noticed that a "subjective mood"
was invented to help them out of a
dialectic difficulty. Tho proper use
of the apostrophe, as a mark of the
possessive case, was the subject of a
short exorcise, and Its correct use
was pretty clearly understood.
MISS MAGGIE COSP.EII
has an average attendance of 01
scholars, a decrease of ton during
tho last month, Severe colds keep a
number of hor scholars at home, and
she repor.tesomo few cases of pneu
monia. Her classes are B class,
grade 3 A and B grade 4,
and Tt aln&K. irrwrto 6. On
entering this room we found A class,1
srrade 4, busy with mental arithme
tic, Kimplo probloms In addition
and subtraction were workod out by
a prescribed formula, tho little tyros
evoluing tho numerical facte from a
garniture of eggs, marble, apples
and Buoh like, and giving tho nwult
with unanswerable precision. This
s the earliest formative procaea to
which the mental powers are sub
jected, thUninmfiraUKeoffHOtoon
tuiued in tuonuilti plication tablegiv
aim and direction to the early pow
ers of absorption.
It was now near the noon recaJ,
but a few minutes remaining to hear
B class, grade 3, In grammar. These
were little things, ranging from
eight to ten, yet they showed re
markable brightness. They gave
tho parts of speech as far
as adverbs very readily; would
compose a seutance containing three
nouns, three adjectives and three
verbs as ordered. Then hey repair
ed to tho blackboard arid wrote a
number of sentences, paying duo
care to capitals and nunctuatlon.
At 11:60 the bell mnjr, tho schol
ars left their seats under direction of
the teacher; made a circuit of tho
scnool room several times anil tucn
made their exeunt without noise or
confusion.
The order in this school Is excel
lent Prof. Sellwood is entitled to
trreat credit for close attention to his
duties and the gratifying results of
ins labor; in Miss uosper lie lias an
eillcient co-worker, who is deserving
of equal commendation. In a talk
with these teachers, after the school
was dismissed, we found both en
thusiastic in the cause of education,
and their useful zeal is communica
ted to tho children under their
charge.

A JpimNAfc reporter is reliably In
formed that surveyors are now at
work above Stayton.
WHILE THERE'S LIFE, ETCl
There is Still an Opportunity to
Secure the Removal of the
Depot Site.'
It is with great trepidation that
the writer undertakes to broach the
subject of the depot to his many In
telligent readers, again, after they
have seen fit to drop the matter en
tirely, but he will not admit that
there Is another question of equal
Importance to the city of Salem, her
inhabitants and future weal before
them at this time.
What causes the writer to resume
consideration of this "interesting"
subject, is the fact that ho has re
cently gotten some information that
he thinks concerns the people too
deeply to allow it to pass unnoticed.
This is that the removal of tho
depot site might be secured without
expense or bond to the people of
Salem.
Of course, it was evident, from the
way business men did not turn out
to tho meeting called by Mayor
Murphy, one would be led to think
they did not want tho site chnnged;
but in conversation with several of
the heaviest property owners and
taxpayers of tho city, a reporter was
led to believe that tho 10,000 bond
asked for by Mr. Koehler, scared
them oil.
It is now learned that tho build
ing to be erected at this city will
cost upwards of seven thousand
dollars, and that it will bo tho
largest and best depot on the Oregon
division. Work will be commenced
on it as soon as possible. Now let
us consider the present O. & C. time
card:
Overland express leaves San
Francisco now at 0:30 o'clock In the
evening, arrives at Salem at 8:10
o'clock In the morning, a good
hour for breakfast arrives at Port
land at 10:40 a. m.
Leaves Portland at 4 p. m., arrives
at Salem at 0:30 p. m., a good hour
for supper arrives at San Francisco
at 7:40 a. m.
These time cards are so arranged
now that the best part of tho day is
given at both Portlaud and San
Francisco, and passengers going to
those cities may attend to a good
deal of business and return on the
next train. Considering this, there
is no likelihood of tho present time
card being materially changed soon.
Considering tho fact that tho
depot building to be erected hero is
to bo a good sized building, could it
not be made the eating house for
supper and breakfast, and by chang
ing tho time of tho local express
trains a very little, both could be
hero at dinner. Tho hours at Al
bany for tho morning and ovenlng
meal are out of all reason, making
passengers wait too long at evening,
and waking them too early in the
morning.
Suppose Salem, then, to bo tho
eating statien: Trains would then
stop here twenty minutes. Suppose
the new depot were to bo erected at
tho corner of Court and 12th streets:
The passengers would have time to
look around; seo ourstatecapltoland
public school buildings, tho univer
sity buildings, several handsome
residences, our beautiful broad
streets, and other things that would
attract, and perhaps some might
stop off to see more of such a pretty
town. Supposo tho depot! to bo at
tho old locatien: tho view Is not
cheerful, no chanco for passongors
to seo the city, and a very slim
chanco for many to stop oil' for
a further view of the city.
It Is said by some who are in tho
railroad swim, that if the matter
could bo presented to Col. Chas.
Crocker In the right light, that tho
removal of tho depot could bo cosily
secured. Why not send a good man
to San Francisco, and seo about it?
It will bo a positivo shame if tho
peoplo of Salem allow tho narrow
wishes of a few, who can't raise their
ideas above their own porsonalitios,
to hinder this enterprise. It is a
questlonjof cither prosperous growth,
with the depot In sight of town,
or of a slow plodding future alike
intliQpast. If It remains whore It
is.

An Assurance of Health.
Aiuoni! the assurances of health
aftorded us by tho regular discharge
of the bodily functions, none is more
important mm rename tnan mat
which regularity of the bowels gives
us. If there Is any even a tompo
nry Interruption of this tho liver
and tho stomach suffer conjointly
with Inactive organs, and still great
er mischief ensues if relief Is not
speedily obtained. A laxative,
abovo all cavil on, the score of min
eral composition or violent effect,
Is Hostettor's Stomach Bitters, ap
proved by tho medical profession,
and a most important item to the
family materia mediea of American
households. It is botanic, painless
in action, and if persisted in, effect
ual. Tho stomach and liver, in no
less degree and no less
promptly and thoroughly than
the bowels, are regulated and
roused by it, and it is an admirable
defense against malaria ami rheu
matic ailments, and a benign rem
edy for kidney complaints, nervous
ness and debility.
Yesterday F. P. Tnlklngton, of
Talkington & Aiken's saloon,
caught a Chinaman named Sing,
who had been working for them for
two or three- years, in the act of
stealing cigars, a trick ho had been
at for somo time. A trap was laid
for him, and Sing fell Info it. Ho
was arrested by Marshall Ross and
somo stolen cigars found on his per
son. Ho will probably go up.
