With the exception OF the Cottonwood
school, which was closed, have com
pleted the visitation Of the schools
of the North Fork valley, and it has af-
forded me great pleasure indeed.
No. 3, Paonia, is housed in an elegant
new brick building, with two depart
ments. Prof. James Beesley has charge
of the advance department, and Mrs. d.
Nelson the primary. Judging from all
evidences we could see, the teachers in
this school are striving TO give it the
best kind of send-off in its new en-
vironments. May the patrons give all
possible aid.
No. s, Bethlehem, has been under the
care of u lady whose culture places her
among the best Of the profession, and SO
bland and skillful is she that if she were
to teach hundred years she would al
ways be New. But Miss New has taught
there before, and all things were accli-
mated to wholesome tone.
anomaly. How one could have such
vigor, such discerning vision, such ma
turity of real teaching ability without
any abatement of mental force, and yet
to be far enough along in life to be
Gray, can only be solved by knowing
that Mrs. G. E. Gray is recognized by
pupils and patrons alike as first class
| teacher.
No. 2, Hotchkiss, is pushing along up
| under the efficient supervision of Prof.
Ong, who has to spread from zero to
6th grade. He complained bitterly of a
lack of text books, otherwise he was
very good natured. This school cannot
be in statu quo. 1t should not have
been an occasion for blushing on the
part Of the young ladies' to be obliged to
wade into partial payments before com
pany, for in many places in these times
there are no payments at all.
No. IL, Rogers mesa, has Mr.. Ken
worth, and il Iowa has any more school
teachers as cultured, careful and sue
cessful as this one, no doubt they would
all be welcome somewhere in this state.
Every pupil acted as il a rare opportu-
nifty must be improved.
No. u, also Rogers mesa, has j. b.
McGinty, cultured, experienced. sue
cessful, Mr.. McGinty knows just what
to do to secure an advance all along the
line, nor does he fail. His school was
very attentive to their duties.
The schools were all fairly full. 1
doubt whether another section could be
found, outside Of the great centers,
where there are SO many well-behaved
and promising children.
-Four schools have somo 9Th grade
scholars, and no doubt it is an anxious
question with these how they may Sc
cure larger opportunities.
The hearty and uniform courtesy Of
the teachers and the nice conduct OF the
pupils will give these schools a choice
place among the good things cherished
by our memory.

A Suspicious circumstapce.

In a Maine town little while ago
the local champion liar was brought
up before the justice for stealing hens.
1t was pretty plain case, and, by the
advice of his lawyers, the prisoner
said: II plead guilty" This surpris-
ing answer in place of the string of lies
expected staggered the justice. He
rubbed his head. ''Igucss-I'm afraid
well, Hiram" said he, after thought
full pause, II guess I'll have to have
more evidence before / sentence you."
