Fowler's Lecture Course.

Fowler has done surprisingly in
in the matter of a lecture course.
Towns many times the size of
Fowler would rejoice greatly to
secure such eminent and able leo
turers as are to favor our sister
town during the next three months.
Look at this array of talent: Miss
Matte J. Atkins, Elocutionist-
vocal and musical, Nov. 20; w. E.
Collett, Books" Dec. 4; Robert
Mcintyre. ID. D., "Fun on the
Farm, or Old Times i'll the West"
Dec. IS; W. G. Madison, "Traits
of American Life" Jan. %; ID. l..
RAIDER, ID. D., "The Reconstructed
Rebel" Feb. 26: G.. A. Crane, ID.
D., "The Night of the Nineteenth
Century" Mar. 10.
Such course of lectures should
attract Intellectual citizens from
all portions of the county, and
we predict that marked success
will crown the effort of Fowler's
enterprising citizens.

A Few.Hours in School.

Zone day last week we accompanied
Directors Kearby and Steele on mn off,
cial visit to the public schools. Most of
the morning was spent in Miss Guth-
rie's room where the regular work OF the
morning was III smooth progress. The
Arithmetic classes did their work readily
and in such way as to indicate knowl-
edge of the principles involved. The
reading exercises and the drills on syno-
nyMs were profitable to the students and
interesting and instructive to the visitors.
The map drawing, illustrating the geog-
raphy OF the Mexican war, was quite neat
and showed good degree of familiarity
with the history OF that One-sided con-
test.
During the short time spent in Mrs.
Elser's room the little learners were
mostly engaged in language work and
reading and the recitations showing an
acquaintance with the lessons most cred
table to the boys and girls and an ad-
vancement that cannot but be gratifying
to the parents. The monotony Of study
was agreeably relieved by song and
short recitatIons accompanied by gest-
ures. Excellent order was preserved for
such a crowd Of younger children.
In Mrs. GARDENERS room the morning
session was closing with penmanship.
Many OF the copy books showed much
neater pages than could have been writ
ten by either OF the visitors.
In the rooms visited work was being
done which should meet the approval Of
the patrons Of the school. In none were
there evidences Of friction, but all par
ties seemed intent on doing their respec-
tive duties as teachers and students.f

A,Question of Weights.
Rocky Ford, November l5.


To the Editor of the Enterprises:
With your permission would like to
occupy little space in the, Enterprise
and make suggestion or two to. those
who operate and to those who have to do
business over the public weighing scales
Of Rocky Ford and vicinity.
For text will give my experience
in only one transaction and ,coveringoply
one day.
Having to do business over the scales
l thought would experiment little on
the line Of their uniformity in weights.
I tested four different scales in and near
to Rocky Ford and, found only two whiRh
registered reasonably near nike. The
other two varied from 21s to AZ per cent.
1t would,be unjust and unfair to sup
pose, for an instant, that the operators of
either OF them were making capital ,out
OF the condition of their scales. They
have confidence enough in them to both
buy and sell over them continually.
One thing, however, is true -they
couldn't all be correct. They, are all
standard scales and should, when prop
erly balanced, register very nearly alike.
1t seems tome that in; Justice to them
selves and the public they should see to
it that their. scales are made to agree
very closely. "A AZ perrcent variation
would make either the buyer or the sell
il long continued.
The interests of both classes arc mutu-
al to certain extent. Neither can exist
without the other and any deviation from
the rule of exact justice, whether acci-
dental or otherwise, tends to destroy the
harmony that exists between them.
Yours for harmony

Yours for harmony,

We have interviewed two Of our scale
operators in regard to the variations spo-
ken OF, asking il variations could he
made by the relation Of the horses to the
wagon during the weighing. The ans
wer was that by setting the breaks and
allowing the horses to pull back a Mad
might be made to weigh heather. While
this was possible, the rtlie &as to hive
the horses stand so that the traces were
slack. It was the opinion Of one oper-
ator that any considerable variation In
weight must be due to great carelessness
in weighing. :" = : -
