POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES
OF THE HIGH school, LAW
The State.

Ine State.
AS universally granted by your
recent correspondents as to thc
compulsory educational law now i'm
pending, the success Of orr education-
al efforts is of the highest Importance.
1t is, therefore, vitality important that
no mistake just now should be made.
All readily admit that high schools
are very desirable, but too few NAV
possibly consider what disadvantages
may result from too great al ambi-
ZION ana eagemess to establish them,
ana thereby secure a portion of that
tund thrown out into the present free
school system by the state like veri-
table apple of discord. Let us brief
~ enumcrate some of these disadvan-
ta9es:
First. These high schools impose
additional taxation upon a people al
ready too heavily taxed, in that spe-
clal lcvles are to be made, both to
erect special buildings and TO pay
higher salaries, all without materially
improving the possible advantages of
the common free school system.
Second. They disrupt and dcpress
the present free school system, over
crowdmg some schools, and depicting
others.
Third. They crowd people into
towns to the injury of country COM
munities, thereby depreciating the
value OF real estate and educating our
people to loaf around towns in idle
ness, trying to live by their "wits,"
which is an inoaluculable menace to
honesty, prosperity and, we may add,
white supremacy.
Fourth. Neither colleges nor COM
mon free schols, but mongrels; these
high schools interfere with both,
teaching our people on the one hand
to be satisfied with brief superficial
training, and on the other hand low
erlng the efficiency and grading of the
common schools, no ambitious teacher
caring to teach a merely primary
school.
Fifth. They render inadvisable
the enactment of a compulsory cduca-
tlonal law, now impending. the state
having no right to force The people to
patronize schools beyond walking dis
tance, especially after having des-
troyed the schools at their doors.
Other disadvantages could be men
toned, but let these suffice for a
warning "to make haste SLOWLY"
The educational effort of the state
should be-
First. TO erect good, efficient
school in every community, where it
will be easily accessible TO all.
Second. TO make these school meet
all the needs as to primary and sub
collegiate training, which can be done.
Third. To adopt compulsory edu-
cational law.
Fourth. And to leave collegiate
training to her many state and pri-
vate colleges already in existence,
thus developing her present resources
without depressing present institu-
tions, and without inflicting upon our
people needless changes and unending
taxation.
We have written briefly, but hope
all will consider the subject we'll be-
fore voting unnecessary changes.

Martin A. Bunker, Lamoine boy, died
Sunday, June 30, at Greeley, COL, Of peri
tonitis, following an operation for appen-
dicitis. The Republican, of that city, in
an extended obituary, says:
Martin A. Bunker was born in Lamoine,
Maine, June 6, 1851 He left his native town
when sixteen years old and went to Newport,
r. L., and from there to Waltham, Mass,
where he was connected with the American
Manufacturing company in the bleaching of
cotton goods. In 1878 he came to Greeley. as
his Massachusetts friend and neighbor, L. W.
Coggins, was settled here. The Leadviiie ex-
citement was on at that time, and Mr.. Bunker
went there and divided his time between
mining and dairying.
In 1850, Mr.. Bunker and Miss Winslow, OF
Boston, Mass, were married at the Coggins
home. A year ago last November the couple
celebrated the twenty-hfth anniversary of
their marriage in the beautiful new home on
Tenth street, with hundred friends about
them.
Leadville was the home of the couple for
five years. at the end of which time they took
up their residence in Greeley, where they
have resided continuously since. During the
first years Of his residence here Mr.. Bunker
engaged in dairying, and later he and Mr.
Coggins purchased the Oasis ranch near
Grover. Mr.. Coggins later selling out his in
terest TO George S. Adams, and Mr. Bunker,
with the latter. developed it into one of the
finest of large ranches in northern Colorado,
conducting the raising OF sheep for wool with
their farming industries.
For twenty years Mr.. Bunker was interested
in the ranch, selling out three years ago.
During the last two years he has been a
wholesale buyer of sheep and wool in Col
orado and Wyoming. BY industry. mastery
of the details of this particular business, and
by an integrity, unquestionable, Mr.. Bunker
had reached the place where he was reaping
the benefits of his work.
Notwithstanding his many outside inter
ests, he found time to take part in civic af-
the town council for two years. In 1904 he
was elected a director of the school board of
school district No. 6 for term of FIVE years,
He was an active member of the Park Con-
gregational church. and trustee of the
church, and was one of those who by their
generous donations made the building of the
new church possible. Recently he identified
himself with the masonic fraternity.
Probably man in the community had
more friends than NJ. A. Bunker He an
( tagonized no one, and was without an enemy.
His business and social associates, his neigh
J bors and even those who knew him little,
speak of his helpfulness and moral worth,
and truly sorrow that henceforth they win be
deprived of his wise judgment and loyal
friendship.
He is survived by widow and three chill
dren, Miriam, Jerome and Ada. and by a
brother, James Bunker, of Webster City,
Iowa.

w. W. Bragdon had an experience
recently, recurrence of which he will

rushed in from the shed saving, ''that
bottle is going to explode" On investiga-
ton he found bottle afiame on the win
dow. BY prompt action he removed the
bottle and soon extinguished the fire,
which doubtless saved the house. The
bottle contained liquid phosphorus which
the heat had generated to flame. In the
removal Of the heated mass, Mr.. Bragdon
burned the thumb of his left hand which
he did not heed much until few days
after, when severe pains affected his arm
and on consulting doctor it was found
that proud flesh had formed.
