The past week has been some
what warmer than is usual with
Panhandle weather conditions,
especially at this time of the
year. 1t should be remem bered
that there is not spot in the
vast domain of Texas soil that
does not suffer the ravages of
heat-iE summer time. All COM
plants of such weather can be
answered by the Georgia Phil
osopher, who said: ats mighty
hot in the summer time; but
then, the next world might
blaze in winter" The man who
found the weather in the klon-
dixie distasteful could yet find
consolation in the thought that
his ice bill wouldn't come high.

Under the law where special
taxes are levied to carry on the
school, pupils can be admitted
free who are "over age" The
general practice has been to ad
NIT them up to the age of u
wears. This, the News is in.
formed by Judge Henson, has
been the rule followed by the
country schools of this county
and it is thought that Canyon
City will be no exception in this
respect.
City and town schools, almost
without exception throughout
the state, which depend upon
special taxation for their sup
port, admit resident pupils free
from the age of seven years un-
til they pass their minority.
There are several reasons for
this and among them the News
will cite the following:
First, as the heaviest burden
usually falls upon those citizens
whose property interests lay
a almost if not entirely within the
precincts of the town-always
in reach of this special tax
that they should receive all ben
sfits not derogatory to the gen
.ral welfare of the school.
Second, that as a first class
school open free to all bona
ide residents of the town until |
heir children reach adul t age |
S a great factor in increasing
be citizenship of the town, it
S a good business Investment
worth all it costs. This is the
Iecision of business men all
,ver the State-taken from the
chool of experience-and eau +
on City cannot well afford to
verlook it. People who seek
uperior school facilities are al
lost always desirable additions
0 a town and this fact must not
e overlooked. To get them we
,ust do as other towns do in
EDUCATIONAL matters.

ment in extending the age limit

SCHOOL NOTES.

We think the fall term of our
school will open Monday, Sep
TENDER II, 1904.
Pupils should not get their
books till school begins. First
get 4 list from your teacher and
then you will make no mis- take.
Each pupil should bring his
report card the first day he
starts to school. Bring your
last years record AMI then you
can be easily classified. Of
course no pupil will be allowed
to classify himself. This part
CT the work belongs to the
teacher.
We hope the coming year may
be good one in the history of
the Canyon City public school.
The increased advantages in the
way of new and commodious
building should greatly aid
along this line. Let every pa
tron and citizen work for our
school. No one wishes to live
in a town where there is no
school interest. Let the stu
dents and patrons continue to
assist in maintaining and in
creasing he worth and influence
of the Canyon City school.
