Changes In the schools.

The schools of the town opened their au-
tumn sessions Monday. In the village
schools important changes are being made,
which have been necessitated by the un-
even numbers in attendance. Almost the
entire membership of some of the grades live
in some one section of the village. At the be-
ginning of the school one primary school
at No. 4 building had 60 pupils, while one
of the same grade at No. building had
but 90 This required considerable sorting
out and changing, some schools being
moved into other buildings, and a new
school has been necessitated, requiring the
room in No. 2 building which has been oc.
cupied by Miss Dascomb's kindergarten.
Miss Dascomb will open the kindergarten
next Monday in the old High school build
ing. For a new teacher Miss O'Nel of
Castleton has been secured, taking an
eighth grade, while a division among diff
ferent grades has been made for Miss Pow
ers. The sixth grade, which has hereto
fore been located in the new High school
building, has been moved into No. 2 build
ing. A number of other changes will be
made next week as the needs of the differ
emit schools develop.

STATE PRESS

Over-Zealous Advocates
Joe Lytle, editor of the Crook County
Monitor, has a faculty of hitting the
bulls-eye. He is opposed to lying about
the country, rightly believing that re-
action from such a course Is very detri-
mental to the commonwealth. The
truth is good enough. Mr.. Lytle says:
THE little book prepared by eX-Sec-
retary of State Burdick entitled the
Estate of Wyoming" in which the var
led of the state are alleged TO
he set forth, has proved such a boon
that a bill was introduced providing
for the printing of 5000 copies of a
similar book for distribution with a
view to attracting capital and immigra-
tson tn wyoming. A careful move in
this direction, we believe, would result
materially beneficial TO the interests
Of this state, but the book espousing
o,,r natural advantages should not bear
TOO much similarity to Mr.. Burdicks
publication. This little book contained
some of the most outrageous exaggera-
that it has eve been our misfor-
tune to see in print. 1t appears that
these statements are the re-
suit OF Mr.. Burdick's solicitations of
write-ups from the different counties
of Wyoming, and that the authors of
the.se vrite-ups have in some instances
been slightly INSCRIPTIONS and indis-
creet or else shamefully ignorant OF the
