SCHOOL BOARD ORDER.
Children Set Back Year Because of Alb
sence from school.

Children Set Back a Year Because of Alb
sence from school.
Even politics do not now constitute
the all absorbing theme. There's the
school questionable setting back of
children for running. An order adopted
year or two ago has been rendered eff.
fective by order of the school board
against the children who attended the
carnival. These. Notwithstanding ex
cuses from their parents, have been set
back one grade. This novel idea of
Furnishing child had its birth. so i, is
said. in the capacious brain OF DR.. H. o.
Dodge, secretary of the board. 1t is the
most brilliant rule ever laid down for a
school. 1t spares the rod and spoils the
child. 1t ignores parents and renders
the board the Great lam" President
Baker of the state university has ad
dressed letter TO the authorities of this
district asking that his son be reinsta,ed.
He had attended the carnival at Denver
one day and had forgotten so much tina
day that he had lost awhole years &C
QUESTION Of learning. Dozens of other
parents are in the same box as the dis.
tinguished president and there is trouble
in store for the school board. The
teachers are simply disguised but say
nothing. The idea is preposterous to
them, but they are subordinates of these
mighty men and policy restraints them
from airing their views.
James Cowie took one of his children
10 school this morning and demanded
that she be allowed a seat in the room
from which she had been degraded be-.
cause of absence. This was refused,
under orders, as Mr.. Cowie expected it
would be. Mr.. Cowie's plan is to await
the action Of the school board at its
meeting tonight and if it fails to rescind
the obnoxious order to 60 to Fort Collins
and demand of Judge Boughton writ of
mandamus compelling restoration OF his
child to her proper grade. Mr.. S. A.
Giffin said today that the order was a
most absurd thing. II, fixes a punish.
ment that doesn't fit the crime" said he.
There is but one opinion expressed
absolute contempt for the order tinged
with indignation of 100 parents whose
children have been so summarily and
unlus,ly degraded.
The meeting of the school board to-
night will be lively affair. 1t will par.
take of the nature of an Indignation
meeting. Members Mckenzie and
Allen are said to be with the parents in
this matter,

In little while he heard a sound
outside and glanced around.
Three tall Indians were entering the
camp.
They were young braves, dressed in
greasy buckskin, and wore feathers
in their hair.
In spite of the midsummer heat long,
dirty-looking blankets were wrapped
about them. The forehead of each
was painted a deep red, and parallel
bars of red and yellow ran down
ward across their cheeks.
The tallest Indian pointed rife at
Turner, and all three watched him

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Nf-7 'GINNIS. the cook, barehead-
JNWl ed, his gray hair singed and his
face black and streaked with
lines of perspiration, was at camp,
fighting a forest Are.
His weapon was blackened potato
sack, which he dipped at intervals into
a pail of water and used to beat out
the encroachlng flames.
When Turner came, on bis way from
the line of survey out TO the settle
ments, McGinnis was working help
lessly In circle of fire that narrowed
constantly about the tents.
The two men fought the flames sue
cessfully; but it was nearly noon be-
fore smoke ceased to rise from the
charred tract Immediately about the
camp. Then two tall dead trees were
found to be burning. These not only
threatened to start the fire in the brush
afresh. but they leaned directly over
the tents and were likely to fall upon
them when weakened sufficiently by
the flames.
McGinnis, therefore, went out
through the smoke that for a month
had hung like a fog in the forest, to
find new camping place. Turner re-
NAMED to guard the camp.
Turner was secretly glad to delay
starting upon a journey over the trail,
for 1t was to be by no means a pleas
ant or easy one.
AS both camp horses were lame he
would have to walk all the way, and
besides, II he should fail to meet old
Morton and the delayed pack train he
would be out alone four days and
nights.
This was Turner's first season away
from the city, and he disliked the
