01'R SCHOOLS.
Bastrop h is always had. so far as my
knowledge goe- good schools, and from
the number of well trained minds in our
little city, ! fully realize that much good
work has been done.
We teachers of the present school are
trying our best to keep pace with the
best lines of thought in ttie true profes-
sion of teaching, and we fe"l fully as
sur*d that the progress made by cur dil-
igent pupils will prove that satisfactory
work has been done.
It has been decided by the Board of
Trustees that the i ourse of Study can be
completed in ten years.
1 fully concur in this decision, and we
ire shaping our work to accomplish this
result, and as our highest Grade hereaf-
ter will be the tenth, and as the present
| ninth grade has been advanced to the
'.enth, it would appear that there are, at
■iresent, two separate tenth grades in
school.
Such, however, is not the case, for the
tenth Grade of the past Session has not
j only completed the tenth Grade work,
' but nas also taken a considerable part of
what has been 'he eleventh Grade work.

— At the Alumni Banquet, of
the High School, recently, at
'oiiad, Texas. Hun. Maynard W.
Fowler was called upon to tell
"SVhv Lmvy* r« Lie." and the
'txiiai < uard says Mr. Fowler
"in a staunch manner defended
his profession, declaring that
while it may be alleged that all
lawyers are liars, yet no one i*
so unreasonable as to say that
ill liars are lawyers." He alao
remarked that "the reason, per-
haps, that the words liars an !
lawyers are considered synonym
otis. is that both are an ever pre"
ent help in the time of need "
Ina reply made by Mr. A. D.
Chiltun. to Mr, Fowler's remarks,
he told of the "Big Blunders,"
many of which have been a help
to mankind."
