Our Schools.

The enrolment for the first
week OF school is 100 more than
the first week OF last term. During
the week the teachers have re-
ceived and classified 100 pupils
who are entirely new to Rocky
Ford schools, and over so per cent
OF these are assigned to the first
and second grades, making them
very full.
II has been decided by the
school board to provide the people
OF the west end Of the district
with local school facilities. This
decision has been reached after q
good deal of debate and discussion
on the part of west-enders. A part
Of the people in that locality fav-
ored seeding and having a school
district Of their own. Another por-
ton preferred remaining in the
Rocky Ford district and enjoying
the advantages that attach to we'll
graded city schools. Tho latter.
upon vote, proved to be in the ma
jority. In order to get the local
school promptly under way it is
proposed to secure an available
building in town and move it out
to the school site. 1t will be fur
nished and equipped for teaching
first. second and third grades. The
new school will be under the sup
erintendence Of City Superinten-
dent Bolles.

sWhat do You Know ?"

. When'a newspaper man meets a
person and asks the question,
"What do you know" il is too
often a nonmeaning phrase to the
person addressed. He is no doubt
Interested in what is going on in
the world. but nine times out of 10
he will answer. Nothing" The
condition should bc reversed, for
il the party would think for a
moment he would no doubt call to
mind some item that would be.oi
interest to hundreds Of people,
andsthe newspaper man would be
glad to tell it. 1t is often the cnse
that readers wonder why the paper
didn't have an account Of an ncci-
dent Of which they were cosnizani
yet 1t is quite probable that this
same party had been approached
during the week and asked, "Whai
do you know?' and n flippant re-
ply was given.
A good local, newsy home paper,
sparkling with live news items
that faithfully chronicle the week
ly history of a place, is n benefit
to n community, and no citizen
loses anything in giving the editor
an item and thus assist in making
the paper not only of interest Mt
home, but bring the town into
prominence all over the world.
