THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

The sincerest sympathy of both teach
ers and pupils is extended to Nellie Com
fort in her bereavement.
1t has been suggested that the schools
make some informal observance of
Memorial day. This would be very
appropriate thing to do and we trust the
suggestion may be put into effect.
Prof. S. Milo Hadden of the State
Normal School, was recent visitor.
He had many good things to say about
the Central schools and has promised to
come again. Prof. Hadden is at the
head of the manual training department
of the State Normal school.
Messrs. Green and Momyer visited
the Apex school entertainment Friday
night and report an excellent program

high school district.
The eighth grade began this week a
study of the history and civil govern
ment of Colorado. The text is one writ

of Weld county.
The seniors are getting along nicely
with their class play. Rehearsals be-
gin at 7:30 and always close promptly
at 9 O'Clock.
At the meeting of the school boards
OF Monday evening, union high school
d strict was organized to include Black
Hawk, Central City, Russell Gulch and
Bald Mountain. Three other districts
will probably be included before the
first of June. This district will be known
as Union High School District No. l.
Tuition will be free to all high school
students residing in the union district
The organization was effected after
three meetings of school boards and af-
ter careful and thorough consideration
of the relative advantages of local and

are Mr.. H. H. Lake, Mr.. w. H. Malet
and Mr.. w. E. Withrow. The county
su )erintendent, Mrs. McFarlane, is ex-
officio member and president of the
high school committee. This is the
finest thing that has happened to the
schools of Gilpin county in decade. 1t
guarantees that every boy and girl with
in reasonable distance shall have free en-
trance into the Central City Union High
school for the school year l9O8-9 and
succeeding years. 1t allows local dis
tricts to concentrate all their efforts on
their grade schools so there will be no
division of effort there and the grade
schools of these towns will continue to
be as they have been in the past, the
very best in the state of Colorado. 1t
guarantees that there shall be strong
central high school second to none in
the state. Finally it fosters spirit of
union and cooperation among these
various districts that will always be
helpful in advancing the school interests
of the Little Kingdom.
