Editorial Notes.
The Seattle 2:l7am: Journal comes 1
to us in a new and much improved‘
dress. It is changed to a six column
paper and is brim full of matter rc--
garding the Queen City. It has (Ix
tensive correspondence from the Key
City and as it has engaged one of
our live newspaper correspondents,
it will be newsy from this end of the
line.
Thurman shouts. "If those pension
bills had so mus-h merit in them, why
didn't the republican senate pass
them over Cleveland’s veto?" A dem~
ocratic paper in Port Townsend och-~
008, “Yes, why didn’t they? They
had the votes.” \Vhat silly bash! It
takes atwo-thirds vote to pass any
hill over the president’s veto. It‘
seems that neither Thar-nan nor the‘
camp~following editor knew about;
this fact; or, did they think the pub-i
lie made up by fools?
Old Hutchinson. the hero of the
great wheat deal in Chicago. who has
succeeded by trust and monopoly op
erations in forcing thousands of poor
people to pay an additional two dol
lars per barrel for the flour they con~
same, is said to be a democrat. Of
course it was the naughty republi
cans who persuaded him to do it
Yes, “down with trusts!” Take
Hutchinson and Gould, coal oil Payne
and Attorney General Garland, and
arraign them as they should be—at
the bar of public opinion.
The Tacoma News says that histo»x
ry will repeat itself this fall. Let us
see: In 1836 Martin Van Buren was
elected president on the democratic
ticket; by the course of his party in
reducing the tariff ho was hurled from
power in 1340—Gen. Harrison being
elected by a. large majority. In 1884
one Grover Cleveland was elected
president on the democratic ticket;
by the course of his party in attempt
ing to reduce the tariff he was hurled
from power in 1888—Geu. Harrison
being elected by a large majority.
We have this article written for use
after the election. We believe the
News right.
That Challenge
Our evening contemporary is very
much exercised over Mr. Weir’s
challenge to Mr. Voorhces. It isn
kind of a bombshell in camp. Mr.
Ohss. Voorhees, the invincible, clo~
quent mogul of democracy will have
either to ignore this challenge a
accept it. .
The issue is the great national is
sue of PROTECTION. Mr. Voorhees has
dodged this issue in his campaign, if
he has been correctly reported. It;
is but proper that he should meet}
the issue squarely. He has been‘
exceedingly savage on “country ed
itors,”(not excepting some of his own
political faith. He onghn to have a
taste of the “sawdust brains" of one
or two of those same men. He can
have as much as he chooses if he
will consent to meet Mr. Weir.
Mr. Weir is in earnest in the
challenge. He means Lnsiness. He
will undoubtedly be ready and if
Chas. S. Voorliees wants to meet him
he can have the privilege.

Mr. Charles Donovan.
This gentl- man called at the
:Aimi's Ulllt") yesterday and expressed
himself quite freely as to his prefer
leneus in the campaign. He objected
quite seriously to our reprinting 1116‘
a: uc‘i-s from the Reveille and saidl
that Mr. Nichlin had helped to electi
him four yours ago. We asked him‘
if he thought the editor of the Rc-J
i'r-z'llu was trying to help to elect him
again, but he declined an affirma—l
tive answur. He thought Mr. “’eir
was very unfair in proposing: a joint
discussion, as he said Mr. \Veir knew
he was no public speaker. We said
we knew nothing of Mr. Weir’s
knowledge of him but thought he
meant no discourtesy. He said Mr.
Weir’s proposition was to discuss the
political issues of the day and he
thought Mr. “'eir should tell what
they were. We suggested that Mr.
Weir probably thought the political
issues were so well understood that
it was useless to name them. He
lsaid he did not know what they were.
iWe suggested that there were well
defined issues in the Republican and
Democratic platforms. Mr. Dono
van said he did not know how to in~
troduca these issues into this district
campaign and he wished Mr. Weir
to write him and state the issues
political. and we agreed that he
should do so at his earliest conven
ience.
Mr. Donovan finally quieted down
and became quite companionuble and
puffed his Havana quite contentedly.
He vowed vengeance, however, on
Tom Nicklin; of course it was news—
paper vengeance, and he informed us
that he was the head of the Whatcom
Democrat; so as we are quite sure
that Mr. Nicklin can take care of him
self in any possible newspaper con
troversy. we didn’t worry much more.
As Mr Donovan left. we meditated
as to whether a man who confessed
that. he could not speak would be a
very valuable men in a legislative as
sembly, and whether if the Democrats
had any issues at all they were wise
to select a man who confessed that he
did not know what they are. How—
ever, Mr. Weir will write him a letter
and inform him, and so in case of his
defeat Mr. Donovan will be wiser
than he now is.

A Daring American
Judge Owen Denny, an Oregon
man—Consul to China .under Hayes,
is now prime minister to the King of
Cores, with residence at Seoul. He
is just now agitating the matter of
Corean independency. The kingdom
has been for a long time nominally
dependent to China. He claims
that Li Hung Chang, the bhiuese
Viceroy. is not dealing fairly with the
Corcan king and that a change must
be brought to insure permanency of
relation. Mr. Denny is a long~head~
ed man, underatands himself about;
as well as any man we know, but the
Chinese are a superstitions people,
and Li Hung will be demanding his
head pretty soon.
He has published a pamphlet and
had it circulated, in which he sets
forth Goran's grievances. He says
‘China is unwarranted by interfering
‘in the treaty which Corea is making
with Western nations and is blocking
up Corona commerce by refusing to
allow her to open up her ports as she
desires. Possibly China may take
warning and not harm the American,
but he mu>t be very adroit.

Evnry lfllfilllflmfi man in Mason
county is anxiously inquiring about
the prospects of the Port Townsend
‘remd. They are looking forward to
fits completion with ardent hopes.
Mt Shelton, whore there was but. one
‘ house four yours ago. there are now
‘upwardsof a hundred houses, and
many more in course of construction.
l‘ne town is growing rapidly, bles—
.—.2ining out with hotels, stores, a
thriving and lively local newspaper.
and many evidences of a solid busi
'u'h’s foundation. Uncle Davy Shel—
ton, the old pioneer who located on
the site thirty odd years ago, is liv
ing to see a realization of his hopes. ;
Speaking of the Port Townsend
Southern R. R. calls to mind 11 eng—‘
gesiion made by Hon. I“. C. Purdy of
Union City. It is that the company
build its road from Port Townsend to
Quilcine Bay. or to Jackson's Cove,
and use a iarge transfer boat between
there and Skokomish until the road
is completed beyond to a junction
with the N. R. and then build the
;line along the expensive. mountain
ious shore of Hood‘s Canal afterward.
It would insure through business
much earlier than otherwise. The
suggestion is at least Worthy of care
ful consideration.
While at Union City we saw speci—
mens of rich iron ore, brought by Mr.
Jas. Melteavey from the foot hills
near Lake Cushman. We also learn
ed at Shelton abouta large moun
tain of magnetic ore out near the
Satsop valley. These mines will be
developed, and are sure to make bu
siness for west side railroads.
Mr. W. H. Kueeland at Shelton is
gradually enlarging his saw mill. and
it will soon rank among the leading
mills on the Sound.
We made a flying trip to the new
brick yard established at Jackson’s
Cove, in Jefierson county, just west
of Quilcine Bay, by Messrs. Tanner
and Snyder. They have superior
clay, and enough to last for forty
years. Their bricks are superior in
quality. and ought to be handled by
Port Townsend business men.
Quilciue valley is fast developing,
and the virgin forest is melting away
to give place to thriving homes. It
will be popular as a place for aubur
ban homes for rich men who do busi
ness in the metroplis.

: SOON FORGOTTEN.
iHendricks' Name Overlooked by the
Democrats.
Thomas A. Hendricks, late Vice~
President of the United States. was
a statesman of national reputation at
a time when the industrious Sheriff,
Grover Cleveland, with his own
bands was “ working off” criminals
who had been sentenced to the death
penalty in Erie county. Mr. Hen—
dricks was elected Vice—President by i
the same vote that elected Grover;
Cleveland President. and both took
the oath of oflice the same day. On ‘
November 25, 1885, Mr. Hendricks‘
died. Mr. Cleveland did not attend
the funeral, a slight which excited
much unfavorable comment among
the friends of the dead ~tatesman.
whose memory is cherished with
afl‘ectionate regard by tens of thou~
sands of Democrats not only in In~
diana. but throughout the country.
Mr. Hendricks died less than three
years ago. and yet his name is omit
'ted from the list. of V ice-Presidents
30f the United States published by
ithe Democratic Nationa Committee.
All the rest are there from John
Adams to Chester A. Arthur. but the
name of Hendricks is missing. In
the list of Presidents appears the
name of Grover Cleveland. There
was ample room on this page for the
name of Hendricks, and its omission
must be regardnd as a slight to the
memory of that eminent Democrat.
Cleveland seems to have impressed
Colonel Brice and his colleagues to
such an extent that they have wholly
forgotten the fact that he had a
“running mate" in 188-1 who enabled
him to make a SllCCt‘fi-‘lflll race in In
diana—Washington Correspondence
New York Tribune.
The Ghiuesa treaty recommended
by Congress was urzzwn up In China;
the claims for damages to Chinese
residents in the United States were
accepted without question by Mr.
Cleveland and their payment rec
ommended to congress; Mr. Clove»
land aiao in a messagn to congress
rrcomn‘ended further legislation so
S3B to admit at numerous class of Chi—
nese who were excluded by law, and
yet thellemccrats have the gall to
say Cleveland is opposed to the Chi
nose because he signed a bl“ which
the Republicans forced through thel
.50an against the detormined op-‘
position of the Dcmcvrzztic Senators.
I There is buund tn be, one capital
Idling in the result of the present
campaign, numauvr how the V 0“:
may turn. That is that. Mr. Cleve~
land will know a. mighty sight more
about protection and the tarifl‘ than
‘he did when he slnpped over in his
‘sophomorio message for free wool. 1
VOORHEES CHALENGED.
The Tariff issue.
To the Republican Central Commit—
ter- of \\ ashington Territory:
(22:; {LET-HIS: My opponent for
joint councilman seems to feel insult
(“ll over my invirtation for a joint
discmsiun of the political issues of
the day——he having called at my of
tive during my absence in Mason
county. and having there claimed
that l was taken undneadvantage of
him. He claimed that he did not
know what were the issues bet Ween
thil twi) political parties. and desired
that 1 should inform him. I have
no time to waste on any man, who,
while aspiring to election as a mem
ber of the legislature, admits him
self to be unprepared, through ig
norai'ce. to dISCII‘S the political is
sues. in the campaign—and who can
not even tell what these issues are.
When in Seattle. just after my invx—
tatinn to Mr. Donovan was publish
ml. ] met that ardent democratlc
journalist, Mr. Ellicott, and was by
him taunted with desiring to make a
parade of myself over my opponent.
He said “If it were Charley Voorhnes
you Would be very clear of inviting
him to a joint discussion." I assured
.\lr. Eliicutt that were Mr. Vonrhees
my opponent, I would do exactly as]
l haul done With Mr. DODOVEI]~~l)0<
. llt-Vlllg it to be courtesy to him. and
ljnstice to the voters who were expect
ed to choose between us. Mr. Elli
cott scorned the idea. It was my
fortune later to listen to a democrat
ic orator, who landed Mr. Voorhees
as the oratorical gladiator, the
champion par excellence, the
political giant striding: up
and down through Washington Ter—
ritory daring anyone from among the
republican host to knock the chip ofl'
his shoulder—or words to that etfect.
He was invincible. Republican
speakers were very brave behind his
back, but dared not meet him face to
face, etc . etc. In fact the idea seem ‘
ed to be that repuplicans were mere- :
ly a pack of yelping curs at the heels
of this mental Uollossus of Rhodes.
Now there is a limit beyond which
I become exceedingly fatigued by
taunts. and sneers. Mr. Voorhees
himself is reported to have recently
referred (in a speech in eastern
Washington) to country editors,
whom be characterized as “bullet
headed." said that they Were "cattle,”
had “sawdust for brains,” etc., etc.
It may be that Mr. Veer-hoes. with
his splendid abilities, is justified in
assuming a lofty contempt for poor
country editors. It may be that the
sneers and taunts of democratic
speakers are justified by the pre—
eminent, commanding abilities of the
young congressman, and the poor
quality of republican talent; it may
be that "fools rush in where angels
fear to tread.” but I wish to announce
that I will meet Mr. Voorhees at any
time or place he may designate be.
tween new and election day (Sundays
excepted) and discuss with him the
tarifl' issue as embodied in the Mill’s
bill on the one hand, and the repub.
lican tarifi' bill on the other hand,
each of us to have one week's notice
for preparation on a stated propoui~
tion.
I will take the affirmative and us—
snme the burden of proof in favor of
a protective tarifi' as afgainst a tarifi'
for revenue only; or, will discuss
the question in any other Way that
will insure a fair consideration of the
merits of this great question just
now dividing the two great political
parties. and will accept the verdict,
by majority vote, of any intelligent
audience in the Territory. as deter ‘
mining the resuli of the debate after
listening to it. do not claim the
ability to successfully contend with
Mr. Voorhees in an even-handed
contest. He has had the advantages
of training in an eastern college of ‘
rhetoric and elocution. 1 am noth
ing but a poor “bullet-heeded” coun
try editor. But I believe the peei
tion of the republican party on the
tariff issue in this contest to be
enough stronger than that of the
democratic party to afford a “vantage
ground that might make us equal.
I would suggest that the question be
formulated _as follows!
“Resolved; That a tarifl‘ for pro~
tection of home industries is more
conducive to the material welfare of
Washington Territory than would be
a tarifl' for revenue only.”
Should Mr. Voorhees prefer to dis
cuss his claims for re~election, on the
statehood or forfeiture issues, I will
discuss either or both with him, but
I regard the protective tarifi', foster
ed by the republican party, and the
blow attempted to be struck by the
Milis bill at the leading industries of
Washington Territory as involving a
great and overshadowing issue, and
one that may well engage the high.
: est. class of statesmanship that ever
expended itself in promoting the
welfare of any commonwealth.
I understand that Mr. Voorhees
proposes to attack me all over my‘
district. Mr. Donovan has publish
ed in his paper, the Whatcom Bem~
oerat, an acceptance of my invita
tion for a joint discussion; but he can ‘
not possibly comply. according to his‘
own confession of lack of prepara—‘
tion. When in Port Townsend he‘;
said he intended to go through the
district with Mr. Voorhees. Presum
ably he expects the latter to assist
him to an election. If Mr. Voorhees
is the one I have to run against there
should be a fair understanding at the
outset. Respectfully, .

Port Townsend, W. T., Oct. 2?.
East Sound.
East Sound. on Orcas island, is a
thriving, flourishing locality. Ex
eeedingly fertile, rich in lime rock.
coal and marble, abounding in grand
scenery and invigorating climate, it
will be not only a prosperous busi
new center but a popular summer re<
sort. Mr. E. W. Sutherland already
has a hotel there which is filled to
overflowing. Mr. Sutherland and his
good lady are hospitable and popur
lar. and have a thrifty eye to business}
withal. They pnrchaeed a farm ad
joining the East Sound landing and
divided it into ten acre tracts, which
are being sold to purchasers who will
beautify and improve the same. The
hotel and postofiice, the little church.
the attractive residence of Rev. Gray,
the wharf, warehouse and store, all
nestled away in such a beautiful val
ley overlooking the channel and con
tiguoue islands, all combine to form
a village of rural surroundings, the
possibilities of which will surely
make it the very ideal of Bobby
Burns or any other artistic worshiper
of Nature. Near by is a valuable
lodge of lime rock. interspersed with
marble and croppinge of anthracite
coal, the property of Mr. Sutherland.
jr.. and Rev. Gray. It is being de
\vivpr'd by means of a deep trench,
‘ which a forceof men are driving into
the hillside. A little farther on are
the lime works owned by the Bowen
Brothers and Jemima, already ope- ‘
rating on an extensive scale. dotting
the shore of the hay with a. manufac~
turmg village. Yet a little further
on are the new BIL-Unrdy lime works,
owned by three parties. and just. be—
ginning to export its valuable pro
duct. 1t ii just at prasem in litignv
tion. owing to a. dispute among the
own-era hut will pmh.;ny be in con
dition for active operations again in
a short time.
Over at north beach are splendid
and promising prospects of coal and
marble. In the immediate vicinity
are fertile valleys. all being cultivat~ ;
ed by prosperous farmers and fruit
ruisers. The locality is wonderfully
mlo ted for the prodction of all
kind; of fruit. Apples, pears, peach
es, apricots, plums. cherries and all
the luscious berries known to this
latitude are already grown in abund
ance and superior quality. It re
quirers no effort of the immagina~
tion to picture here the most desira
ble retreat, where the choisest fruits
of son and earth and air may be gar~
nered to contribute to the health,
happiness and material welfare of
a contented and favored people.
Col. Enoch May, the Bostians, Mr.
.\I. L. Adams and many others of
the settlers can verify the state

ticst little towns in all Puget Sound.
Its convenience of access for sur
rounding,' commerce. its safety as a
harbor. and the importance of its own
local business all attest the excellent
judgment of Hon. A. W. Bash when
he, as collector of customs, selected‘
it as the location for a subordinate}
custom house. Hon. Jon. M. Izett, of‘
Oak Harbor, in Island county, was
,thc first deputy collector stationed at,
Roche Harbor, a position which he
filled with fidelity and zeal for pub—
lic interests for several years until, in
the mutations of political changes he
found a Worthy successor in the per
sou of Hon. E. D. Warbass, the pres
ent incumbent. Judge Warbass met
as at- the wharf on Saturday, with
his cheery smile and the general ap
pearance of a well preserved citizen,
upon whom time's corroding influen
ces were making a vialble impression
but very slowly indeed.
Roche Harbor first became a scene
of manufacturing activity when the
Scurr Brothers located a lime ledge
there some years ago, and erected a
kiln at its edge. Their operations
were carried on for several years. in
creasing constantly until the whole
property passed last year into the
ownership and control of a Tacoma
company, of which Mr. John S. Mc-
Millan is manager. Since then it has
grown so that there are now five large
kilns side by side. under the tramway
leading around the immense ledge of
limestone to the narry.
The wharf andrlar e store; the im
mense warehouse, the cooper shop.
elegant residences. multiplying cot
tages, thrifty improvements, and the
generally neat appearance and bust—
ing activity of the place, all conspire
to impress even a casual observer fa
vorably. Great changes have been
wrought during the past year. The
steamer Skagit Chief now makes reg
ular trips to Roche Harbor, and is
engaged largely in transporting the
lime product to the “city of destiny.”
from whence it is distributed among
the markets of the Pacific coast. Ev
erything about Roche Harbor indi—
cates vigorous business management
and corresponding prosperity. Of
course the men who work there need
not be expected to Vote for-democrat

A democratic free trade advocate
would surely find but little favor

Views of an old Traveler.
[The following contribution is
from the pen of a gentleman whose
actual experience is all he claims for
it. It is a majestic tribute to our
city.l
l’nnr Towsszvn, \Y. T., Oct. 18., ’BB.
There is no one better to ask for
information than one who knows
from experience. Experience in
traveling is a grand teacher, and
such experience gives a man knowl
edge that he cannot gain by any
other means. However the public at
large may be benefited to a certain
extent by the experience of the rec
ticed eye of one individual. Ip am
.wholly uninterested in this grand
‘ peninsula. but having been request~
ed by many of the good people of
Port Townsend, W. 'l‘.. to give my
opinion of the prospects of the city,
I have been obliged to make these
remarks: (I will first say that the
request has been made from the
knowledge that I have just arrived
here from a tour of the world, hav--
ing visited every city of importance
in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,
North and South America and have
been three years on the roand.) The
geography of this city or the penin
sula is well known to every person
in the Territory and by many in oth
or parts of the United States, but
there are many who have no concep
tion of what this Port Townsend is.
Situated as it is upon this neck of
land. jutting out from the Olympian
range of mountains, backed by many
fertile valleys, and crowned with el
evations in which iron, copper, coal,
load, tin and perhaps gold can be
found. Upon either of its shores can
be found a depth of water for the
largest ship that has ever been
built or that will ever be built to
navigate any waters of the world;
combined with this is a perfect har~
bor for the shipment of its products.
that has no e ual in any seaport of
the world. '[filters are many ersons
that are acquainted with the harbors
of Naples, Treest, Alexandria, Rio
de J aneir, Bombay, Hong Kong, Yo~ 1
kanama, Sydney, Melbourne, San ‘
Francisco and New York, among
which there is not one that presents
the many advantages that Port
Townsend has, viz.: Ist. Free from
all dangers except its two shores.
2nd. A sufiicient depth of water. and
not too much—namely, from sto 12
fathoms. 3rd. A point that can be
gained from sea whenever a wind is
blowing on shore that would endan
ger a ship. 4th. The entrance to the
port via. the Straits of Juan de F ace
and Admiralty Inlet, “in all about
90 miles,” without a single hidden
danger. sth. There are no laws here
that are not in favor of shipping and
all charges are very moderate. 6th.
There are no trusts, and no
combinations that hamper the ship
owner with any heavy outlay. 7th.
The town site is splendidly located,
giving one of the best sewerage
systems in the world (when put in
force) Bth. There is no malaria here.
and no swamps or sloughs to breed
malaria. 9th. Fevers brought here
are the only onesthat the “people ever
knew. (very few.) 10th. he climate
is the most perfect of any place in
the world for the same latitude (48
degrees North), its max. temperature
beingSO and ' its minim: 10 above.
Flowers bloom all through the win.
ter and grass remains green—a fea~
ture unknown to any point on the
face of the globe except this penins
sale, “a distance of 40 miles from
here up the Sound making a great
difl'erence in the climate.
There is not another place in this
latitude that cannot get natural ice
to store away for summeruse. Its
agriculture 13 luxuriant and the soil
gives large yields in cereals and suc
ulent vegetation. I will not name
the amount of yield per acre. (It is
very; Very £atge.) d 1 haVe the assur
ance that can spend upon the
statement, as the product is there to
be seen and a tape line can soon tell
the number of acres. I will say.
however, that at no point within 500
[ miles of any sea coast of the world
3 has such results been obtained as
ican be shown on this peninsula and
‘ adioining lands which are within 8
mi es of Port Townsend wharves; and
ito conclude this article, I see but one
fthing to prevent this very city from
i becoming one of the greatest com
‘ mercial centers on the Pacific Coast
of North America. I hesitate to
name it for fear of hurting the feel
ings of some citizens. However, to
keep the thread of my article, I must.
It is selfishness in a few! And that
few are large property owners. It
time that they opened their eyes 1
the fact that if they give away 20
acres out of 200 for the purpose of
manufactm'es; they are enhancing
the value of the remaining 180 acres
3or 4 fold. How can the people of
this or any other place expect growth ‘
unless it comes from the outside! i
How can the people improve _the
property without manufactories?
Do the people expect that capital is
to come here and fetch with it the
plant _ for giving employment to
skilled labor and improve this part of
the world, without a grant of land
from its property owners, when in
many other places, although not so
good. they can get property given
them! Cannot every intelligent man
see that the introduction 0 any in
dustry that will employ 500 men
makes this place richer by the least.
$250,000, to say nothing about the
increase of property?
Ido not wan to set my opinion up
as a guiding star, but I speak from
experience. an experience of many
years that has been distributed over
every part of this commercial globe.
and any one that cares to profit by it
in this, the finest site for a city on
the knee of the globe, (“even New
York and San Francisco cannot com
pare") I give it and, believe me.
though disinterested, I wish you all
the prosperity that you will allow
yourself to have, and may my child
ron say, in not many years to come
that to~day Port Townsend has 850,-
000 inhabitants and when I was a {
little fellow my father came through
‘ this place on a voyage of the world,
when this very city had only about
3,500 peoplel
All this is the future of your city.
See what you can do to hasten the
time when Port Townsend will be
recognized in Europe. Asia, Austral~
is and all commercial centers of the
world, as the Key to the Northwest.

One of the unique and tragic as
pects of the present political situa
tion is (be way in which Henry

my: own “situation
Our Public Schools.
In the growth of any city the
schools have to meet many disadvan
tages and overcome difliculties at
times not. so easily accomplished as
at first supposed. The patrons of
Port Townsend public schools are in—
terested in the progress and thor
oughness of their children in the‘
work. Interests of the community‘
often cross. The taxpayers are some
times for economy—the parents of
children for ample facilities for
school work. Port Townsend to-day
has a school population suddenly
grown to proportions beyond the proe
visions made for carrying on th
work. Enrollment in all grades reach
nearly three hundred. with but five
iteachers. Some rooms have a seat~
‘ ing capacity not to exceed fifty. The
average number of pupils to each
teacher is nearly sixty. The difiicul
ty is very plain to every interested
observer.
At the opening of the schools in
September several p‘upils entered the
grammar grades, oping to pursue
higher branches of study. There
was no previous record to be found of
the standing of their former work. or
rather no evidence of their prepara
tion for such higher work. There
seems, however. to be a demand for
the tirst year of a high school course
in the school. A city of the size Port
Townsend expects to be in the near
future can easily find large classes in
branches above the common s:hool
studies. At present, with but five
teachers, each with grades overfull,
with new pupils entering each week
irregularly prepared for a closely
graded scLool, it is impossible to in
troduce new studies without doing}
positive detriment and injustice to
the pupils in lower grades.
The great idea in modern public
schools is that of supervision. The
principal of our schools has two full
and regular grades. with forty or
more pupils under his immediate su
pervision. with no hour vacant from
class work to devote to general man~
agement or supervision. He might
lay a course of action. yet could not
follow it up to its execution. He can
advise, but not enforce. He is re
sponsible for his own room’s instruc—
tion and discipline, but for none oth~
er.
It seems evident to those who study
the present condition of our schools,
that more room and seating capacity
is needed; a more extended course
i for pupils when completing the com
; men branches, and an additional
‘ teacher added to the present number
engaged. This will permit of the be
ginning grade of a high school in the
future; it will reduce the number of
pupils to each teacher, givin more
time to personal work and drifi to ir
regular pupils, and it will also permit
of vacant recitation hours for the
principal to devote to a close person
al supervision of the whole school.
The work will be lengthened,
atronathend and unified. The schools
will then keep pace with the growth
and character of the community in
other respects.
