count of Governor Curry's visit to the
city. At 1890 he gave a short, but
spirited address to the pupils assem-.
bled on the school campus. In return
nc WAS UuStlly cneeren.
Last Friday evening at the faculty
meeting proclamation from the Gov
ernor was read by the superintendent.
In this proclamation the Governor stat.
ed that as next Friday, March 9th,
would be Arbor Day, he requested that
every school in the Territory should
have suitable exercises and devote part
of the day TO the planting Of trees,
81 rubbery or in some way identifying
the school grounds. Owing to the gen.
'erosity OF the Board Of Education, our
school yard is well filled with trees,
nicely trimmed and cared for. And al.
though all would like to see a part Of
our school grounds in lawn, we can.
not plant grass, as our water supply is
insufficient 10 maintain a lawn. The
faculty therefore came to the coEclu-
sion that there was no way in which
the scholars could b.autify the grounds
more than 10 have general cleanup
Of them. So the superintendent de-.
tailed each teacher with her pupils to
the cleaning Of certain portions OF the
ground.
We all know that we have the most
attractive little city in the Southwest,
but how much more would this fact be
appreciated by the stranger were it
not for the unsigltly condition of our
streets! There certainly should be a
place out Of sight for rubbish, and at
stated times il should be carted off be.
yond the city limits and everything
possible burned. Whereas now the va.
cant lots and alleys seem 10 be the
general dumping ground for old bottles
cans, lunches of balinE wire, old crock
cry. stoves, shoes, wearing apparel Of
all description, to say nothing of papers
and feathers, which fly through the
streets and lodge in the bushes, max
ing unsightly heaps. which are a men.
ace to health I'd life. Now il we can
inculcate IL the minds of the pupils
that this condition Of things shall no;
be; that each and every individual citi.
zen should take care OF, destroy or nut
out Of sight his own rubbish, il will be
a great point gained and a step towards
progress for the rising generation.
SO dear parents and patrons when
the children come home telling you how
they have spent part of the day don't
think that they have been called upon
simply to do what some of you may
think strictly janitor's work" For
the work part we care very little. 1t is
the practical lesson which they are to
get in order, neatness and cleanliness
and duty they owe 10 their fellow
citizen. A lesson which we hope will
follow them thru life.
