FINISH THE STATE CAPITOL.

The new State Capitol, when COM
pleted, will be one of the noblest build
ings In the land, or in the world.
Already, appreciation of its remarkahls
architectural splendor is expressed
abroad. Its design is comparable for
imposing beauty to that Of the national
Capitol at Washington. Its equal is to
he found nowhere else In America.
Its cost will exceed what was originally
anticipated W many people. but IL Will
be worth every dollar that is required
for It, and the satisfaction that lies in its
possession will be shared by our pos
;srity for generations
Whatever agitation may be expressed
In cef tain quarters as to making sppro.
priations for finishing the work, no one
believes that it will be abandoned in
complete or be finished Off In any other
way than according to the original plans.
To do anything else than promptly
finish IL would amount to public crime.
Every days delay in prosecuting the
work, however, means additional ex-
pense The money needed for its com
pletion should be made available at once.

DANCES AND THE SCHOOLS.

Superi nj epdent OF Public INSTRUCTION
Grace Espy Patton has received letter
from an indignant citizen of Meeker, in
which complaint IL made that the order
and decorum Of he school is seriously
threatened because the school board
permits tho desks to be orn up and the
school used fur dancing academy. After
describing the condition the tchool was
in. the writer says:
"Tnis was all the result of using the
school house for n public dancing hall.
Knowing that an orderly school could
not be Kept in this sort of u building, /
asked permission TO arrange and fssten
the desks, This was given, and L
laborod for days (Saturuays) TO get this
accomplished, and now have very tidy
room. The toard Of directors then de-
oided, 30 l am informed. that the school
building should pot be used for any such
purpose, EXCEPT suoh as would not rs-
quire the removal or dist urbancu Of the
furniture. But now some upst ,rt takes "a
notion that they mus5 have another
dance I'm the school house, ana, in spite
of my earnest protest &, the board, seems
TO have secured their consent Toe
county superintendent nor tho board of
directors have provided me with COPY
Of the schoo. laws Of Colorado, hence |
am not able to judge whether IL is lawful
or not to uss q public school building for
dancing purposes; but II seems to me
that oven IL 10 is not contrary To the letter
OF the law, 10 certaiuly must he to the
spirit Of the law.
You we'll know that any public
gathering in n district. especially any
thing like a dance, IL bound IN draw off
the minds aud attention of many pupils
from their sch Dol work, thus demoraliz-
ing and antagonizing the WORK of the
school. 1t is y common occurrence here
for little girls OF II or IA years of age 70
90 To dances and dance the whole night.
You can well understand the damnsble
inauence on tender young girls and
boys Of such doings. I think, too, that
when such a thing as dance Is held
right in the school house. the evil in
fiuence is doubly great. You will ob
u ge me greatly by giving your decision
on the law 81 10 tne lHWlulnte- or the
OF using public school
buildings In this state tor dancing.
II do not know whether the desks will
bs torn from the lloor or not for the dance
tonight but 4; such IL done. can the
teacher TO compelled by law to teach
again before the school building Is re.
