Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 25/23 To The Bismarck Tribune. Dear Editor. It has been said that Bismarck offers wonderful opportunities for their boys and girls. I wish I could see first where it is. At present we are asked + to send our children to another ward than the one ! in whith :they ‘belong, es it is too crowded’ where * they do belong. We have no preference in doing this or knowing whether they will get the proper attention if they should keep on where they are. Think of a teacher trying to do justice to any one of her pupils, when she has got fifty in the first grade. It is an impossibility and something no teacher should be asked to do. i , Is Bismarck penny wise? H » If not why does it not provide us with the number of teachers it really needs? : Has Bisniarcks got a real school board? Y If it has why don’t it look into these conditions ‘and not leave it for the poor overworked teacher to ‘Randle the best way she can? If we need more teachers why don’t we have them: surely the first grade is the one of all that should get started right and have proper attention. The most of us want our children to have the best chances and are perfectly willing to pay the price of it. Some of us moved here and supposed that Bismarck had as much to offer as other ptaces of its size in the line of music, and schools, but we are sadly disappointed. It has nothing in the line of music to offer and not quite so much in schools as other places of its size. But thanks, it has starteda young people’s band and we wish them all success. ; ; What Bismarck really needs is fighting men that know what they want and go after it, not a lot of nice ones that have kneeled-in prayer and gone: to sleep and just groan amen from force of habit to everything that is said or done. When will we wake up to our needs? It’s up to Bismarck, if it ever hopes to become a large city as it could and should become. —A subscriber to your paper.

The first impulse is to dismiss it with: “Oh! it’s only another chronic fault finder.” But this letter evidently comes from a mother who is worried over the fact that her child is not getting the pro- per attention in the city schools. It may be the better pari of wisdom to answer a few of the questions than to toss the communication into the waste, basket. : The letter loses some of its force because the writer did not have the courage to sign his or her name—but that may have been due to ignorance of the fact that anonymous communications usually are ignored in newspaper offices, but asthe questions can be answered, it may serve a good pur- pose just to chat over the general subject of: “What’s The Matter Anyway ?” Inthe first place Bismarck cannot be convicted of being penny. wise. Within the,last few years it has completed two grade buildings mogt modern in type and is now finishing a third ith ten large airy rooms capable of caring for. some r 500 pupils..

We take our city administration as a matter of course— a thing only to censure when the tax bill arrives or some discomfort arises that brings home to us the fact that we are really a part of the city and must share in its respon- sibilities.
