Miss Young has a petition started
for new county school house. which
she hopes to have built in Durango
in short time. The people seem
very much in favor of it. as it will en-
able the citizens OF other districts to
send their children TO a higher school
free OF cost. the High school in Duran
go being a district institution and tut
tion charged for children from out OF
town. The establishment of a county
high school would uniform the system
and make the work more satisfactory
to both school boards and parents be
cause there would be center to start
from. There have been cases where
children have been ready for the high
school and have been Obliged to wait
year after year. the parents not being
able to pay for tuition. a very nice
start has been made toward this OBJ
Iect, and it is hoped that the people
win all encourage IT, as it will be of
great benefit to the county.
