THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The annual school election Will be
held Monday. the voting taking place
at the court house. The Herald does
not feel that the question OF superin-
tendent and future teachers should
cut any figure beyond the proposition
of electing some one who will cast
to one side all personal considera-
tions and look to the best interests
of the schools as whole.
In regard to the school superin-
tendent, it is a matter that should re-
ceive the careful consideration of the
directors. The Herald. on the sur
face. Is favorable TO the retention OF
Prof. Gould, but we must confess ig-
norance as to personal condition OF
the schools and the real cause for
majority OF the directors opposing
his election. The full facts should
be brought out and each and every
director should be willing to go on
record. AS for the petitions that are
being circulated The Herald does not
way or the other. Too many people
sign petitions-the first that come
along-without caring much one way
or the other, and the petitions in
question will have no bearing on the
board and will only result in engen-
dering ill-feeling among many. 1t is
possible the majority members may
have reasons for making change.
but they should be valid ones and
should be willing to take the people
into their confidence and The Herald
will try and nave the facts brought
out the coming week.
In conversing with one member this
morning ne said they could have kept
quiet until the 18th of the month
when the election takes place and no
one would have known until Prof.
Gould had been replaced. By making
the announcement at this time 1t af-
forded Mr.. Gould an opportunity of
applying elsewhere-before all posi-
tions were filed, as The Herald Is in
formed that q change is positively
assured.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1906-05-07
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

To The Herald:
The writer Is not disposed to enter
into any factional fights over school
matters, but the rumored attempt TO
displace Supt. Gould deserves some
comment in the way OF a protest.
Under our school system the direc-
tors are so elected that majority
Of the members at any one time will
hold over for at least Two years more.
This prevents any sudden upheaval
upsetting affairs. The present ma
jority of members of the board elect
ed Mr.. Gould as superintendent and
the people have approved their action.
II Is passing strange that these same
men should now meet themselves
coming back, practically eondemning
the course that they themselves have
followed. There is no popular de-
mand for change, the affairs of the
district have been conducted with un-
usual harmony, and the schools are
generally considered as the best we
have ever mad.
When any district is fortunate
enough to get good man at the
head of the schools, he should be re-
lained, and no experiments made with
untried material. Supt. Gould is an
able, conscientious and tireless work
er, and not one word of adverse crit
icism can justly be said against him
or his splendid work in this city.
The writer trusts that the majority
will reconsider their action, II any
has been taken looking to the dis
placement of Mr.. Gould, and that he
be unanimously retained in the posi-
tion he is SO eminently adapted to
fill. The people demand it and their
voice ought to have weight with their
chosen representatives. The gentle
men should remember that 1t is a
public affair and not private busl-
ness they are conducting, and the
people should be needed.

PROGRESSIVE RED MEN.


Hugh Owens who has just return
ed from Aneth, Utan. brings tidings
of the progress OF the real red man,
the progressive Industrial Navajo.
While with Joe Heffernan. who CON
ducts a trading post for the Indians
and their neighboring white-faced
consorts. during the past winter. Mr.
Owens made study OF the conditions
of the Navajo race, both as TO tne,r
progress of numbers and their health
He found that instead of syphlliuc
diseases, which have been accredited
with their chief misery, 1t is con
sumption that reduces their numeri-
cal rank. This is attributed to their
manner of living in winter and dur
ing the rainy seasons OF spring and
blustery weather of fall.
Mr.. Owens was informed by the
agent of the Navajoes that since 1864
when they numbered 10000, the race
has grown TO number beyond 49,
900.
These Indians are eager to learn
the industrial pursuits of the white
men and are exerting every effort
for production of the soil and pastor
al range.

EDWARD AMHERST OFT.

Next Monday Mr.. OFT comes to us
with lecture that will be pleasing
and valuable.
The following shows how he is ap-
preciated by some Nebraska people:
Edward Amherst OFT delivered his
inspiring lecture, Sour Grapes" be-
fore the session of the Central Ne
braska Educational Association just
closed at Kearney, and completely
captivated the large audience assem-
bled to hear him. 1t is the unani-
nous expression of those who heard
it that this lecture is one of the very
finest ever delivered before the teach
ers of the state. Splendid in its de-
livery. sparkling in its humor, and
rich in its truths, 1t inspired every
one who heard it. 1t is the gem of
its kind. Mr.. OFT is strong man,
and Will please and inspire his audi
ence wherever he goes. This lecture
should be given in every section of
the state. A. o. Thomas, president

Both in the northern and wes+arr
Islands of Scotland the natives have
some peculiar customs unfamiliar r.
the dwellers of the mainland. One of
these' known as the marriage fest y
is practieed in the Island of ST Kilda
where the population barely excaads
a hundred. The desire among the 10.
anders to increase this number does
not seem exceptionally strong. and
every man, before he Is deemed suit.
apIe Tor husband, has to perform an
evolution with no little bodily risk

rock climbers, and the aspirant fnr
ulatrimony is therefore subjected RI

precipice' bending his body at the
same time in order to hold the foo,
OF MS other leg in his hands. If
