The schools of St. Paul have had a sue-

- cessful «year in all respects cave one. This,a lack of adequate accommodations for the

applicant* for admission, has hung as a mill-stone about the neck of the board of educa-tion and hampered it in its movements,

heroic struggle, however, has been going .to put aside this millstone, six buildings be-ing altered or put up new in 1884, and sixmore being provided for 18S5, and it Is be-lieved by the beginning of ISSO ample sit-tings will-be projected for all who seek en-

lighten at the \u25a0• hands of cv;r teachers.The schools binder the supervision of Super-intendent Wright show a total, enrollmentfor the-schoo?year, of 9.266, while the paro-chial schools bad on their rolls 3,010 names,making a grand total attending all schoolsin the city 12,876. The attendance at thepublic schools for the months cf Novemberand December was smaller than usual owingto the severity of the weather and sickness,the total in the former month being 6,283,and in the latter 6,158. After the holidaysthe number has always largely increased,the evening schools particularly showing amuch ' greater attendance. The average

monthly salary*of male teachers is $127 andthat of female teachers $05, and here itmay be remarked that the salaries of in-structors in St. Paul average higher than inmost of the educational institutions of thecountry, being fully 10 cent, higher thanthose of our nearest neighbor, Minneapolis.The total number of male teachers is sixteen:md of female teachers 159, or 175 in all. In1879 the number of pupils in attendance was4,003 and the salaries paid $55,949, while

In 1884 tbe rolls carry 9,266 names and tbesalaries reach $105,190. Principal Gilbert,of the High school, leads the teachers' list insalaries with $2,500, and the teachers in theBret, second, third and fourth grade* of the"primaries receive the lowest, $350. Tbevalue ofthe real estate and buildings of theboard of education is more than half amillion. A more detailed reported of . theworkings of the public schools is found -inthe following:

Board ofEducation.The public schools are controlled by a

bDard of education, elected by the people,consisting of twelve members, two eachfrom the First, Second, Third and Fifthswards, three from the Fourth and one fromthe Sixth. The present board is composedof the following gentlemen: Joseph Minor,J. H. Murphy, M. D., John W. Willis, A. J.Wampler, P. J. Giesen, L. A. Gilbert, OttoDreher, H. H. Athey, R. Schiffmann, M. D.,G. A.. Hamilton and Wm. Berlandi. By theresignation of Harvey Officer a short timeBince there is a vacancy in the board. Tbeofficers of the board are: President, R.Scblffmann; vice president, Wm. Berlandi;secretary, Otto Dreher; treasurer, GeorgeReis; superintendent of schools, B. F.Wright. - 1 *'"__

Buildings and Real Es'ate.The board of education now has seventeen

school buildings, with a seating capacity ofover 8,000, but these' are Inadequate for theneeds ofthe schools, and preparations areunder way for the construction in 1885 ofBit new buildings. During 1884 the follow-ing buildings have been repaired, altered orentirely built new: Neill, Rice, Bibley.Hum-boldt, Adams and High. A conservative es-timate of the value of all real estate andbuildings owned by the board is appended,placing their total value at $565,000:High school. $120,010Franklin school 60 0)0Ihuutioldt school 15,000Jefferson school 4'i.od,iJacket n school 13,000Lincoln school 3G.000Madison school ; J 60,000Monroe school 15,000Neill school 25,000Hice school...' 25,000River school 9,000Van Burcn school 35,000Webster school 19,500Washington school 2^,O(K)Qarfleld school 1f, 500-AilaniH school 10,000Bible; school 16,000Unimproved real estate is owned by the

Teacluet*.. ]••,The whole number of teachers employed

in all the schools is 175, or 22 more thanwere employed the previous year. The rulesof the civil service urn To some extent fol-lowed by promoting teachers from grade tograde, but a cbnseien tious attempt is madeto releirate favoritism to the shades at obliv-ion and appoint to positions of responsibilityonly those thoroughly qualified to fill them.As stated elsewheifc teachers' salaries areliberal in St. Paul, and this fact acts as aconstant inducement to the best talent in theprofession to com* here in search of employ-ment. We append a list of the teachers. Itis a long one, add there are probably someinaccuracies or* a<tcount of recent changesnot noted. T4ie Ifist is as follows:

The wholesale trad? of St. Paul, duringISS4, has enjoyed singular immunity fromtbe marked depression which baa prevailedin almost every section ot tbe United States.While the number of business failures tbecountry over bas been tbe largest known formany years, tbe proportion in this city ha*been remarkably small, and bas been morethan doubled by tbc number of new firmsthat have started in business. Within thepast twelvemonth thirty-live firms haveceased operating, ami eighty-eight new job-bing bouses have been established. Thisfact, together with the fact that the majorityof our jobbers have sold the usual quantityof goods, will enable tbc wholesale trade tomake about as good a showing as last year,despite a general shrinkage in values of from10 to 20 per cent. Another partial explana-tion lies in the noticeable tendency to finergrades of goods. In the line of groceries,teas, coffees and spices, tbe falling off inprices bas been most marked, but the lint*haj bad the good fortune to bold its own, oneconcern alone sold ?4,000,000 worth of goods.at 20 prr cent, decline from the prices oiISS3. In the important line of

Mil goods

there has been great cutting, and yet moneybss been made I v our dealers, although allthe great manufacturing companies at theeast have passed their dividends. Over pro-duction has been the cause, however, andtie mills have determined to put a stop la

this. It is believed that bottom prices haveat last been reached, and the outlook for

1 >*."> is considered more encouraging. Anadvance of one cent per pound in the priorof raw cotton at New Orlvans, and of ,-^'c U*V 1per yard on manufactured staples

strengthens this opinion. The jobbers- Indr? coods, as in other lines, have showngood judgment in not seeking to force tradewhich they see can be but temporarily stag,uant. It is entirely in keeping with the con-servative policy which characterizes a!.branches of business in this substantial city.a policy which bas given to St. Paul a mostenviable reputation for commercial andfinancial health. The

BOOT AND SHOE TRADE

has kept up well, and tbe sales forthe last quarter of the year will show a grati-fying increase over the business for the cor-responding period In ISS3. The trade Inhats, caps and furs was also good, and shownan increase. Transactions In crockery andglassware snow an increase for tbe failmonths. The carriage trade and the trade Inwines and liquors—these goods being lookedupon as luxuries — felt the effects of thepanic, though they have not suffered to anyappreciable extent. A prominent dealer inwines and liquors said to the writer: "Justlook at tbc trade east of us. Donation* oi

champagnes have dropped off 100 per cent.in New York city. I admit that peoplecan live without whisky; and when aDakota farmer bas to give up awbo'.e bushel of wheat fo*r three drinks ofliquor. Ido net blame him for becoming atotal abstainer. When people bave more

\u25a0 money than they know what to do with theyput it in diamonds, or whisky, or tome otherluxury. Tbe . '•

AGRICCLTCRfSTS OF TOE XORTHWESTare a careful and frugal race, and it is wellfor the country that they are so. Many ofthem have had a hard struggle for existencein times gone by, and they know bow to sub-sist on a pea a day when the financial firma-ment grows squally. Wuen the price Mwheat went down to forty cents a bushel, itwas a shock to their- nervVs, and they wentinto their holes and pinled tbe hole* in afterthem. Tradesmen are on to the racket, andare waiting for "the grangers to say•Thumbs up!* The farmers are living offtheir own fit. In the spring they will cum,out of tbfir shells as lean as wolves and fuiof animal lifeand vigor as a Minneapoliscbeeftc. Forty cent* will seem like a biggersum of money to them than it did when Uk»leaves and prices began to fall. And Ifw!i.-at should take a rise of a few cents, theywill feel as good as if they bad stuck a noilin their foot. They will mourn less aboutthe pa«t when they learn that they are, afterall, better off than lots of other people, andthey will fall to and work for the future witha vim. Our house Is very inde-pendent and we are no*, urging'anyone to buy of us.

ONE REASON

for this is that prices are so awfully low, wewould rather have the goods than the money.Old" whisky won't Mag as much as when itwas new. Other houses will probably havea better report to make In the way of sales,but we have too much confidence in nextyear's business to try to force tbines now."

The local causes— 'out for which St. Paulwould have gone on independently of therest'of tbe world rolling up tremendous to-tals —causes that have prevented flatteringcomparisons with the results of ISS3, have

; been due to existing depression inthe wheat and ° lumber market*.This is embarrassing, though It' cannot be called calamitous. Lumber and

| grain are still In thecouutry, and when theyi move out more wealth will move in. The

great northwest may not be growing withtbe feverish rapidity observed hitherto In

j certain inordinately "boomed" spots, but awidespread, healthful and gradual growth isapparent, and the benefits assured to thecommerce ofthis city are as sure as any-thing can be

A BRIGHT IDEA. -Itwas a bright idea that led the membersof the St. Paul Jobbers' union to make threeexcursions during the year to the territorywhither they have shipped so many millionsof dollars worth of merchandise. One tripwas made over the Chicago, St. Paul, Minne-apolis & Omaha, one over toe St PaulMinneapolis £ Manitoba railway and oneover the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul rail-way. Thus the wholesale • men of St Paulmet their customers face to face, and enjoyeda favorable opportunity for viewing and com-prebendine tbe Immense expanse of coun-try which looks to them for a.l kinds ofsup-plies. Every jobber was enlightened uponmany points of vital Interest to him, andbad bis faith In St Paul's future greatlystrengthened.

THERAILTVATSHELPED.One of the influences contributing to the

indemnity of tbe wholesale trade of this cityduring ISS4,' was the' enlargementof tbe trading area by railwayextension. -The railways have not done any-thing extraordinary, but what they have donehas helped. The Northern Pacific has builta track sixty- miles In length from Su-perior to Akblaad, In northern Minnesota,and has completed the Jamestown «fc North-ern branch of its Hue in Dakota to DevilsLake. The St Paul & Dululu railway hasduring the year operated seventeenmiles of new road built in the lat-ter, i art of ISS3 from RushCity t Urantsburg. During 1844an in. part .nt event was' the completion of theDulu:n A: Iron Range railway, sixty-eightmiles in length, which opens up the.Vermil-lion. iron district to the trade of St Paul.During the year 62.000 tons of iron wereshipped over this road, and 230,000 tons willbe shipped in ISSS. .
