The enrolment in all the schools
for the first week is something near
LOCO pupils, quite an increase over
the first week of last year. Many of
the rooms are crowded and the high
school is now crowded to its utmost
capacity.
A great many people have moved
to Roswell during the summer from
other towns in New Mexico and from
towns in the states to secure the adj
vantages of our public schools.
With the proper encouragement
from the citizens of the town, we can
make Roswell the educational center
of the Southwest.
1t is the purpose of the Board of
Education and the Superintendent to
secure the very best in everything
for our public schools. The faculty in
the schools, beyond doubt, has not a
superior in the whole Southwest. Tie
Roswell city schools are being run
on a cold-blooded business proposition.
The schools are moving along as
smoothly and the children are work
ing as diligently as if there had been
no summer vacation. This is the re-
suit. of the excellent training their
teachers ave them the past year. The
pupils came back happy and eager
for work-in fact we have never seen
a system of schools move off with
less friction. All the teachers took
right hold of the work with vim, int
crest and energy, such as true teach
ers manifest in their work.
The boys of the High School met
at Central building Wednesday after
noon and formed an athletic associa-
ton. Mr.. Stanley, principal of North
Hill school, was appointed athletic
director. John Hise was elected cap
tain and Tom Hall assistant captain
of the baseball team. The boys were
divided into two teams. In about two
weeks the first team will be chosen
from these two teams. The High
School will have a very strong team.
The boys have already received a
challenge to play the Carlsbad team.
The team went in the hole fi1an
cially last year, and they will do so
this year unless they receive great
encouragement in a financial way In
the spring they will organize a track
team.
The High School girls will meet
ball team. Miss Bedechek, of the Sci
ence Department, will act as athletic
director for the girls. The girls ave
already received a challenge to play
a game in the near future.
Later an oratorical contest from
among the High School pupils will
be held for the purpose of selecting
a contestant to enter the Pecos Valley
oratorical contest which will be held
some time in the fall.
After the first six weeks of school,
children will not be admitted into the
Low First Grade. This refers to chill.
dren who have never been to school.
No child will be permitted to enter
school who is less han 6 12 years
old.
AL LIZ bS FoSSlhoiSo
during the first two weeks of school.
An attempt is being made to organ-
ize an orchestra among the pupils of
Central building.
The exhibit of the Roswell City
Schools for the Irrigation Congress
at Albuquerque, was shipped this
week This is a very ~creditable exhib-
it. We intend to nave a much better
exhibit by the close of school this
year. The teachers will begin at one
to saw the best of their work for
this exhibit. We were not notified to
prepare for the present exhibit until
about the last three months Of school
the past year.
The Board of Education has purch-
ased an organ for North Hill school.
This will add much to the interest of
opening exercises and Friday af-
exercises.
