DURANGO PUBLIC
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS

The subject of school facilities for
Durango's children has been one of
paramount interest for some time,
ever since the burning of Longfellow
school building. and Herald readers
will learn with interest that the school
board has determined to enlarge the
High school building to meet the
emergency. The future Of the Long
fellow ruins and site remain for con
sderation
A contract has been let to Giles T.
Vandgrift for improvements at the
High school which will cost $15.45O
This calls for six more additional
rooms, constructed so that two more
rooms may be added when required.
The contract calls for completion on
December of this year.
The school board. after careful
survey of the situation, has concluded
that whatever may done in the future
to replace Longfellow school, the i'm
provement or enlargement Of the High
school will be practical in that 1t is
but matter of few years till this
building will have to be enlarged to
meet requirements for distinctive pur-

THE PRESIDENT ON ROOT
WOOD AND TAFT

The presidents expression OF his
loyalty to Secretary Root. General
Wood and Governor Taft in his Har-
ward speech shows that he is a stanch
and vigorously active friend and
chivalrous official who must inspire
his subordnates with zeal, courage
and enthusiasm. Moreover. that the
loyalty is well deserved is manifest
from what is known of the three men.
They have devoted themselves to
their several tasks with a sincere de-
sire to promote the public interest, and
they have all brought to the perform
ance of their work abilities OF a high
order.
These facts. we believe. are general
ly recognized, and If there have been
any mean. ungenerous reflections upon
their motives and their conduct they
are the reflections of a very small mi
nority of the press and the people,
Energetic opponents of the policies
with which they are identified have
distinguished between persons and
principles. Take. for example, Sena-
tor Hoar. to whom the president also
pdiu IL III iiai 'hiu
speech. He has denounced the expan-
sion policy in severe language, has in
dcated very clearly that he thought 1t
was leading us to the commission of
wrongful acts and to the betrayal of
our principles. But If his speech were
far more violent than 1t Is 1t would
contain no hint of personal invective
So few are unreasonable and mali
cious critics by comparison with the
fair ones and that much greater band
of fervid eulogists that the president
went too far. perhaps. in his intima-
| tion that the three officials were the
victims OF ingratitude. Broadly speak.
ing this is not so. General Wood
has probably received larger meas
ure of praise than any man of his gen
Grafton in this country. Judge Taft
has almost as good reason to know
that republics are not wholly migrate
full, and If the wisdom of some OF the
methods that Secretary Root has
adopted In the management OF the war
department has been sharply question
ed it has been proper subject for de
bate. Absolute immunity from crlti-
cism Is the right of no one, and even
the best and ablest men are likely to

will not lessen the affections of his
old-time friends who knew him in
those ordinary affairs which charac-

Mr. Adams said he believed an in
terview with him would not be inter
esting He preferred to talk about
some of the old times and asked about
old-timers, Politics he did not care
to discuss. The reporter wanted to
ask him some questions about Demo
cratic politics-to inquire about ex-
Governor Thomas and Senator Teller
questions If answered as Alva
Adams could answer them. that would
create much interest in the circles
where Colorado politics have been
theme for more than a quarterof a
century.
Declining to be interviewed on mat
ters political, the reporter tried to get
the ex-governor to string out on agri-
culture. but this was a vain attempt.
He only referred to number of peo-
pie who know less of farming than
the ordinary newspaper man.
