Following Is a statemen, OF educa-
tional AFFAIRS In La Plata county. with
special reference TO the rural schools.
The report covers the period from
July /. 1902 to date.
While conditions In our rural schools
still leave much to be desired, the gen
eral improvement this past year has
been very marked, and In some special
instances, the growth seems almost
marvellous.
II Is gratifying to be able to report
the great interest manifested in the
schools by the general public. as well
as the splendid cooperation of teach
ers and school directors, with this of
flee.
As indicated below. a number OF un-
satisfactory conditions have been cor
rected. or are in the process OF SO do
ing Public sentiment still needs
arousing in regard to a number OF
abuses that exist,
One of the worst of these IL the ir-
regularity of the terms, both as to
length and time of beginning When
fall schools begin any time from ,Ie
last week in August to the first week
in December, and end with proportion

schools commenced on or near the
same date the Inconvenience we have
suffered from this lack of system in
the past. would be avoided.
Another weakness of the county
system is the inadequate provision for
high school pupils Durango posses
ses the one high school OF The county.
This practically leaves the pupils OF
the other districts with no emporium

other expenses TO nonresident pupils
Is heavy. Could the people be arous-
ed to the benefits OF consolidation ard
the sure returns II brings. no child in
the county need be deprived OF a high
school course, or Of an education vast
ly superior to that obtainable at pres
ent-and at less cost. There is rea-
son to believe that in two instances.
consolidation will be effected next
spring. So tar. however. the old Idea
of the one-room district school pre-
walls.
This tendency to split up into small
districts. the lack Of united effort still
noticeable In the county. is distinctly
due. For some years to come La Pla-
