The Three RS First of All.
(RangOr News,

(fangOr NeWS.)
The school life of the average child
is not more than seven years. These
seven years should be devoted to giving
the child foundation that will be of
service during life-the life they will
have to lead. We have full data show
ing that poor mems children so cut into
the world at IA mscraby equipped.
Reading, writing. arithmetic. spelling.
some grammar and some geography. with
Il knowledge of the salient points of his
tory-eycry child is entitled to these.
This education is now denied to children
too poor to go to private schools. The
curriculum should be so arranged that
these essentials are taught to the excIu-
sion of every nOnesscntial.
Again and again has this paper opposed
the teaching of fads in the public schools
of Maine. lads are all right. too. provid-
ed they are not pursued to the exclusion
OF useful studies. Before Il child makes
any excursion into ornamental fields lie
should be grounded thoroughly in tn.
three RS. There is 10 other way of
fitting a child for the business of life.
Let music and physical culture and free
hand drawing and manual training and
kindred matters go until the child can
fathom the problems in the common
school arithmetic. and until he can write
an ineligible letter containing 10 errors
in spelling or grammar. Director Chap
man of the Maine music festival is Il
sweet and kindly man. His aim is Il lofty
one. and in the main. it is: unscltish. But
he is going in the wrong direction. He is
asking that the schools give up essentials
and adopt non-esscntials. The good
women who seek to have sewing and
cooking taught in the schools are off the
track in another direction. The only way
Maine can gain satisfactory results from
the common schools is to stick to tn.
three RS" Let there be no mistake.
about the case. Whoever shall advocate
the introduction of a fad into the schools
as they are constituted today is working
harm to the pupils.

The states Of New York and Massa-
chusctts are both engaged at this time
in attempting to find new location for
their state prisons. The present site of
the Massachusetts prison at Charles
town is recognized by the authorities
as inadequate. but whenever it is
proposed to move the institution to a
new location there is an immediate
and vigorous protest from the people
of the localities possibly to be affected.
The same situation prevails i'm New
York where Il special commission has
been investigating the adyisability of
moving the Auburn and Sing Sing
prisons to a place better suited for
prison purposes. In the Bay State it is
seriously proposed to move the prison
To an island off the coast which the
state owns. and this may prove a solu-
ton of the problem.

to preserve the historic names that
have disappeared from the rolls. Sem
ator Hales bill is very timely in view
of the agitation that has been aroused
regarding the preservation or destruc-
ton of the old Constitution and it is
wholly probable that Congress will
enact it into a law. No craft that ever
sailed under our flag has a deeper hold
on public affection than Old Ironsdes,
and the appearance Of modern
American battleship bearing the same
name would give general satisfaction.
And what a contrast there would be
in the two vessels. One would be 500
feet long where the other was It's; it
would have Il displacement of 1850
tons where the other had =. 200; il would
cost nearly 20 times as much as the
other did: its broa,isidc would be at
least 5000 pounds against LOO pounds
from the other: it would steam 20 knots
or better where the other under the
most favorable conditions could sail
10. it will have 900 or more men where
the other had 450: it would do to the
Guerrero in one shot what it took the
other 40 minutes to do with the aid of
her 80 guns. 1t would typify the
growth of our navy and our country,
but it is altogether unlikely that it
would ever win the fame and glory
which will always hover around the
name of The old Constitution

MAKES GOOD SALE
Sanborn & Houston Buy the
Nusbaum Corner

Sanborn & Houston last week pur-
chased part OF the E. Nj. Nusbaum,
formerly the Halves property, corner
of Eighth avenue and Ninth street,
for SIS, 900. The lot that changec
owners also included the house
which will be remodeled or addec
to, making several handsome little
stores on the corner, while the house
itself will be used for office purposes
with the firm of Sanborn & Houston
occupying the larger part.
The sale of this property Illus
trates forcefully the increased value
in real estate in Greeley.
Mr.. Nusbaum bought the entire
corner, with the house and $4,000
square feet of ground, from Mrs.
Halves two years ago for $1,000
The sale Just made included the
house and 5, 700 square feet of ground
on the corner. That still leaves
Mr. Nusbaum l3, 800 square feet ad-
Joining the corner on both street and
avenue for which he could easily get
$50, ,0O0
This gives Mr.. Nusbaum $50, 900
for piece of property for which two
years ago he paid $40, 900.
Sanborn & Houston will at once
have plans drawn up for making the
neat and harmonious with
the rest of the street, without tear
ing down the house. On account OF
the present lease on the house not
expiring until next fall the actual
work of remodeling cannot be done
until then.

THE SECOND FEAST
r. and Mrs. John Holland
Provide 1t

This year for the second time Mr..
and Mrs. John Holland invited all
the young people of the city who
could not &C home for Thanksgiving
to spend the day at their ranch east
of Greeley. Last year between forty
and fifty responded to the invitation
and this year fully as many were
present. They went out early in the
morning and spent the entire day.
The fun began with the ride for the
young folks, who sang all the way,
and by the time they reached their
destination they had forgotten the
homesick feelings that had threat
ened to mar the days pleasure. All
the forenoon was spent out doors,
climbing straw stacks and romping
over the ranch like a crowd of young
sters of half their years. An apple
hunt and all sorts of games were In
dulged in. Then came the dinner,
and such u dinner. Turkey, chicken,
oysters and everything one could de-
sire. Two long tables were set in
the house and one on the sunny
porch.
In the afternoon there was music
and an impromptu program in which
the guests took part. Mir. Holland
gave little speech of welcome TO
the guests and Rev. Hunter re-
sponded for the girls. A beautiful
leather pillow was presented to Mr..
and Mrs. Holland as a slight token
of appreciation for their kindness.
The girls returned In the evening,
declaring the day was one OF the
happiest of their lives, notwith-
standing the fact that they were
away from home and loved ones.

Grand Piano for Greeley High.

Last spring q lecture course was
planned to be given under the aus
pices of the high school. Inability
on the part Of the bureau to arrange
suitable dates caused this project to
be abandoned. In place of the lost
lecture course the students and
teachers of the high school plan to
give a series Of concerts and with
the proceeds put in a high class
Grand piano in the high school.
The old piano has done excellent
service for many years but is now
wholly inadequate. Feeling that the
placing of tirst-class Parlor Grand
piano in the high school would add
more to the pleasure and profit of
the school than anything else could
give, and that the school board al
ready is heavily taxed to furnish the
rapidly growing schools with suitable
facilities. also to show appreciation
fof what is being done for their well
fare, the students are anxious to
push this project to successful is
sue.
The first concert of the series will
be given at the opera house Thurs.
day evening, Dec. 6. The program
will be given by the faculty of the
Denver Conservatory of Music. The
faculty of the institution is repre-
sented on this program by Prof. Pau
Clake Stautfer, pianist; Prof. Marvin
Victor Hinshaw, baritone; Seno,

This year for the first time the
high school and Normal students
were asked to contribute and they
responded heartily. Almost every
thing that could be eaten and every
thing that could be worn were In the
collection. The clothing was all
good and in excellent condition.
Among the things to eat were all

bread and butter, and such quantities
of it. Many brought money so there
was a neat little sum to buy the
necessities that were not bought.
