Trustees Muller, Searls and Englebright were appointed to present the matter to the Board of Trade on April 4th. Mr. Englebright presents the matter -in a clear light “and discusses the three high school propositions from both financial and.beneficial standpoints. In relation to the establishment of a district high school, which is considered the ost expedient plan at present, the report says: “The Nevada City high schools have two teachers full time and one teacher half time attending to high school work, the expense of salaries being $2,825, there being also other incidental expense. 7 “Tf a district high school was formed, the management being the same, the school could be kept upon its present basis on the above amount being furnished for salaries, the -incidental expense laid as heretofore. The primary and grammar grades could be improved, but no additional studies could be expected to be provided in the high school. “If a union high school was formed, the management being by an entire different board of trustees, all expense would haveto be provided and teachers furnished, so that I estimate not less than $5000 as necessary to maintain a union high school. A tax.of 27 cents on the hundred dollars would raise $2,865. A tax of 37 cents on the hundred would raise $5000.” In finishing the report Mr. Englebright draws the following conclusions: “That the question of a county high school could not ‘very well be submitted to the electors of the county until the “fall election, and if carried, no funds would be available until November, 1903, which is too long a time to have our high school closed. ; ‘“Thatas a temporary proposition to avoid closing our high school, I am in favor of steps being immediately taken .to organize a district high school, and ask for a tax of 27 cents on the $100 simply to pay salaries. _ “That immediately thereafter steps be taken to form a county high school, to include Nevada district, which shall be a credit to the county, and which will be such as will asSist in an infusion of new blood into the county from ‘the large number of people who are now coming into the State.” It was the unanimous opinion of the Board of Trustees, and we believe that it is also the general sentiment of the people, that it would be better to have established a district . kind of a son-in-law myself even if high school at least temporarily and then later on, if practicable, establish a county high school compused of as many districts in the county, including any union high schools Which might be established, which should desire to come into the county. high school district.

The old gentleman didn’t want the young gentleman to marr young lady, the young lady the old gentleman’s daughter. So hen the young gentleman came on the all important mission the old gentleman set his face against the rong gentienes. “No, sir,” said he, with angry emphasis; “you cannot have my daughter.” “But I want her,” urged the young gentleman, “and, what is of some consideration in the’ count, she wants me.” “That makes no difference, sir. You can’t have her.” “That means, I presume, that you want me to give her up?” “Exactly.” The young gentleman took a hitch in himself. “Do you think I am going to do it?” he asked in a tone which did not strike the old gentleman as altogether submissive. “yy do.” ‘ “Well, no wonder you don’t want me for a son-in-law if you think ’m that kind of a fellow. I don’t blame you at all. I wouldn’t have that ing sons-in-law were going at a premium. But, my dear sir, I’m not that kind. I want your daughter for my wife, and I’m going to have her. no objections to you as a father-inlaw, and she rather-admires you as a father. Therefore J am warranted you want to act ugly, -why, we will, as dutiful children, humor your whim and patch it up somehow with the friends of the family, who. will be wanting to know what is the matter with you anyhow.

The old gentleman didn’t want the young gentleman to marr young lady, the young lady the old gentleman’s daughter. So hen the young gentleman came on the all important mission the old gentleman set his face against the rong gentienes. “No, sir,” said he, with angry emphasis; “you cannot have my daughter.” “But I want her,” urged the young gentleman, “and, what is of some consideration in the’ count, she wants me.” “That makes no difference, sir. You can’t have her.” “That means, I presume, that you want me to give her up?” “Exactly.” The young gentleman took a hitch in himself. “Do you think I am going to do it?” he asked in a tone which did not strike the old gentleman as altogether submissive. “yy do.” ‘ “Well, no wonder you don’t want me for a son-in-law if you think ’m that kind of a fellow. I don’t blame you at all. I wouldn’t have that ing sons-in-law were going at a premium. But, my dear sir, I’m not that kind. I want your daughter for my wife, and I’m going to have her. no objections to you as a father-inlaw, and she rather-admires you as a father. Therefore J am warranted you want to act ugly, -why, we will, as dutiful children, humor your whim and patch it up somehow with the friends of the family, who. will be wanting to know what is the matter with you anyhow. See?” And the old gentleman had wisdom enough to see. — Pearson’s Weekly. Full of Trouble. Smith—Jones has been borrowing trouble again. rs. Smith—How do you know?
