School Notes.

/ wish to apologize for having stated
last week that reports were due from
districts No. % and No. 8, as school did
not begin in No. 25 until September 18th,
and in No. owing to lost time the term
was not completed until January 3rd,
just one day before last weeks issue "a
short time In which to report). Reports
since received from j. A. Rosebrough
and Mrs Mary Rosebrough OF Granada
school, district No. 8, show an increase in
the total enrolment of thirteen over that
of year ago. In the primary room.
drawing is given considerable promi-
nence on the program, and should have
more in some of our schools. Algebra
and bookkeeping are studied by some of
the older pupils in connection with re-
view of the eighth grade studies.
Joint District No 10 ngain has full
board OF directors, Superintendent Nc
Cauley. of Bent county, having appoint
ed K. w. Brooks, president, and W. H.
Watkins, treasurer. This will be pleas
ing to Mr.. Carley who has been teaching
for nearly four months without compen-
sation.
The pupils In May Valley school, dis
trict No. 3, exhibit unabated interest.
The appreciation OF the Christmas exer-
cises shown by the patrons is encourag-
ing to the teacher and pupils, who seem
determined to do even more and better
work as the weeks pass. Four pupils
expect to coDsplete the eighth grade work
this year. Lively interest in any school
reflects credit upon the teacher.
The Colorado School Journals report
OF the State Educational Association,
which met in Denver during the holidays,
states that the attendance was not so
large by nearly one-half as it was year
ago. The reasons given are that the pro-
grams were sent out too late and, too,
holiday railroad rates were SO arranged
as to compel one to remain in Denver
practically week in order to attend the
sessions of three days. The more prom
inent subjects discussed were "The
Trainings OF Boys to Sing;" "The Place
and Value of Mathematics;r and aThe
Order OF Development: Child STUDY
The discussions on arithmetic seem to
have been particularly interesting and
profitable although wide differences Of
opinion prevailed. Some held to the
philosophers theory that, "A boy may
be buried, SO far as mathematics is con-
cerned, till he is fourteen years old and
he will teach him all he needs to know
of the subject in three months;" while
others claimed that the subject is seldom
sufficiently mastered. The paper and
discussions on specialization and chlld
study are interesting and well worth
close reading.

What Mr.. Hayemeyer would like to
see is the free admission of raw sugar
and a good-sized duty levied upon re-
fined sugar. thus giving his refineries
absolute control of the American mar
ket After crushing the domestic pro-
duction, Mr. Hayemeyer and his asso-
ciates would certainly have a good
thing. The great injustice of the pres
ent schedule lies in the fact that 1t en-
ables the southern cane-growers and
the western beet sugar factories to
make profit which really ought to go
