THE FORESTERS' DANCE. Nmta Annual Evt* On* tl n MostSaccenMHeM. The I. C. F. ball held on New Year's night proved a grand success both socially and financially. There were gathered there to trip the light fantastic all the youth and beauty of Armstrong, besides a number from Enderby and Ver- ncn. Great oredit is due the managing committee who exercised the best taste and judgment in the successfnl management of the af- snir. The hall was prettily decor. ated with evergreens and bunting, this work being due to the lady friends of the members. They ol. bo provided the supper, which was something out of the ordinary, and all who participated in tho dance highly appreciated the bounteful repast of tempting viands placed before them at midnight. The music wiib excellent, being provided by Mrs. Strathearn and Mr. Davis. Armstrong may well be proud of having two snob uocom plished musicians. The management of the dances won conducted by Mr. Wyatt who acquitted himself in a creditable manner in spite of the immense crowd. The program consisted of twenty sight dances, and in addition to these there were a number of extras, it being after four o'clock before tbe dancers left the hall, all declaring they bad spent a moat enjoyable night. About two hundred were present and participated in the dance, but owing to lack of room we are unable to publish the names of those, present. Portfolio for B. C Hon.

EDITORIAL NOTES. With this, the lirst issue in tin- new year, the Advance deeniB a lew words about ourselves in order, As is known to the people of this community, nt least, the paper was established under somewhat peculiar circumstances, nnd there has been more or less speculation ns to itsjsticcess and progress. Just about a year ago now the writer first visited Armstrong. The people, and business men especially, were at that time quite dissatisfied with the manner in which the needs of the district were being met in the way of local newspaper service. There existed among the business men a desire for the establishment of a paper hero that should be owned and conducted in the interests of tin- district and one that would from week to week publish the local news in full and at the same time work for the unpredjudiced development of the immediate district, in which a live local newspaper is everywhere recognized as one of the most important institutions. The business men voluntarily assured the writer that were such a paper established here it would be accorded the loyal support of every business interest of the town, while the representations of the community at large assured us of a circulation that easily justified the establishment of the paper. Upon these assurances and guarantees the Advance was established, though through unavoidable delays the flrst issue did not appear for some time afterward. How- well we have kept faith with the community in the discharge of our duty is best known to our readers. but that our course has been quite satisfactory to all is evidenced by the cordial support accorded the paper by, not only the business men, but the people of the community in general. The success of the venture was assured from the start and the Advance . long ago re iclied the stage where it may with perfect safety be classi d as one of the permanent institutions in the development and up. buildingtif the community, Without exception, tin- venture lias received the support and assistance of the business men of Armstrong, who are ever alive to any enterprise in the advancement of this, the favored portion of the Okanagan. Not only has the paper won the support of the business men, bnt our subscription list has grown almost magically during the comparatively short time of the paper's existence until our liHt of readers now numbers practically every family in the community, so that to the advertiser we are now in a position to give value received for their money and the paper is now progressing on a firm business foundation. For the future of Armstrong we believe there is a bright hope for still more development than even in the past year, and in this the Advance hopes to serve no small part. The paper is here to stay and to labor in every legitimate and fair manner for the advancement of the district in which it finds its existance. It is our ambition to in the near future make Improvements in the mechanical appearances oi iin- paper that will bring ii up to the standard of tin- leading papers of the Interior. To any who might have been Influenced with the suggestion that ill.- AdVAXI E is in any danger of not being ii permanent enterprise of the town, we.hnve only to say that then- is no foundation whatever for even the suggestion of such a thing. There is a field in Armstrong for a good, livo, wideawake local newspaper, and such an organ the ADVANCE hopes to be, and to remain, Iii politics, in the future as in the past, we will take no part, believing thai the province of a local paper is to publish the news of the district and further the interests of ils i-rtnstitueiils as a whole rather than attempt to ex. tend tlie scope of any organization, either political, rellgous or otherwise, Thanking one and all for the support of the past and hoping we may merit a continuance of the same through the year before us,' we wish happiness, prosperity and progress to one and all, The Publisher, We publish this week another, letter from W. S. Burnett dealing \ with the high school proposition.1 II r. Burnett's arguments may appeal to some, and in fact his contentions do no doubt contain a measure of truth. Yet we are of opinion that his contention that as satisfactory high school work can-, not be done under the direction of of one competent instructor as in the case- of individual class instruction will not be borne out by the actual results of the two methods. The best authorities on education of the day are inclined to favor the system of general instruction by I one instructor rather than that of class instruction. Mr. Burnett proceeds to point out the expensive i equipment .that he claims to be indispensable in the teaching of high ! school subjects. The complete | and expensive accessories referred ' to are no doubt of great assistance j in high school work, yet their ac- 1 hud value may be easily overrated. ; Satisfactory progress in the high ! : school studies may be attained j ' with only the equipment that can be simply and cheaply provided in a one-tencher school. In support of this we need go no farther than our own school room, where with an equipment that represents a very slight expense Principal Wil-j son has taken his eleven high school pupils of the past year! through the complete high school course of study, each of whom has successfully passed the examination in each brunch with creditable- standings. With this done in con-; nection with his duties as principal of the school the results that might be obtained by Principal Wilson, j or other competent instructor,) when giving his whole time to; high school work become evident. i We trust that the ratepayers of the municipal school ilistricts will' place the affairs of their districts at the approaching election in the hands of trustees wbbarefavorable to the union of the districts in the establishment of a high school. Educational facilities should be given the first consideration of an intelligent citizenship, and the ris-- ing generation of our own midst should Dot be neglected in their efforts to secure the bebt education the parents can furnish them. There are now and will be in in- ■ creasing numbers children in the' municipality who are ready for en-, trance into high school. In many; —and wo venture in the majority— cases the parents are financially 'unable to bear the expense of; sending these children away from; home to Bchool and unless a school be established here their education will necessarily be sadly neglected. I Aside from the financial difficulties to be encountered there are many other reasons why a school near home is to be preferred to the necessity of sending children away from home, even]by those financially able to do so. The cost of n high school established conjointly by the six schools of the municipal- ity would be so small to each individual that it seems almost unrea- | FISHER & SAGE wan Have (8c A w!

No more tangible evidence than this can be procured as to the sncceBsful work done by Principal Wilson, even while operating a "one horse" high school in connection with his regular duties.

Mr. Burnett Seeks to Position. Justify Hr Editor Armstrong Advance. j Deal-Sir: As I havobeen attack->- ed from all quarters for the stand I have taken on the high school question, I ask for a shorl space to defend myself, Without attempt-: ing or deeming ii necessary to' reply to -ill of Mr. Wolfeiiden's reasoning on the subjeat, 1 would like to justifj myself I'm- having- called it a '-one horse school", ami shall ondonvor Io oouiparo the proBpootive high Bohool at Arm-! strong with what I would consider a properly equippod, up-to-date,! institution I'm- preparing pupils for tho teaohlng profession, or fori entering n university, as this proposed Bohool is supposed to l«- qualified to do, and in making the comparison, 1 will havo Columbian College in view, as bolng the one I am most familiar with in this province, anil one with which you will always be in competition. Mr. Wolfenden is aware that there aro| a great ninny subjects taught in a j properly constituted high school,; chemistry, beta n y. history,; languages, (three or four at least.) mathematics, etc., and in a proper- i ly equipped school, such us the college 1 have referred to, each of these subjects is taught by a teacher who'is an expert in his particular subject. Now how would your school compare with that? You would simply hiive'one porfessor for tho whole range of siibjects taught, who would have to be a "Jack of all trades" and probably a master of none. Surely anyone with ordinary common sense can see that in that respect at least your school would be but a one horse affair. Now in the matter of equipment, those in favor of the high school should be aware that in order that the pupils be "properly grounded", it requiries that they have more than a text book. It requires in the teaching of chemistry for instance a tolerably expensive outfit, by way of laboratory and chemicals, as well as an expert in the manipulation of them, to accomplish that end, and the same thing applies to other departments vole lor Hkjh school al (he school Meetings oi.

Allowing for twenty pupils, this amounts to another $480, or a total of $1060—leaving only $3-10 to be raised by direct taxation. Because The sum required to be raised by direct taxation will not amount to one-quarter of one mill on the dollar (25 cents on the $1000) on the present assessed value of real property and improvements, Because Non-property holders must pay their proportion of taxation, in that personal property and income are to be taxed.
