L. H. Harrison. County Supt. of
Schools, returned yesterday from
Platteville and Ault According to
the superintendent, the late panic
has not deferred the influx of set
tiers to Weld county, or occasioned
any contagion of race suicide. He
forms his opinion from the daily
increase in pupils and the many
new teachers required. Since school
opened in September at least two
teachers have been installed week.
ly and pupils in proportion The
increase is noticeable in district SO,
that vast territory in the northeast
portion OF the county comprising
an acreage 80 miles long and Is
miles wide, and which is equal to
122 Iowa school districts. That
large cattle range is being gobbled
up by small settlers who eke out a
good living by dry farming and live
in hopes of gigantic irrigation
project reaching them in the near
future. In Weld county there are
now some six persons proving IN
homesteads and who teach school
for or 6 months in the year to
defray their expenses. The county
has now a total of 241 teachers and
the average pay for last year was
354 while the fiscal year Just end
ing will exceed that by some 81.
There Is one school in district No
SO, where teacher is paid SAT-
per month to teach two pupils. II
is doubtful If there is another coun-
ty In the United States that would
take such interest in the education
OF Its youth. In another year that
school will probably have 20 schol-
ars. Mr.. Harrison received word
yesterday that Miss Alice S. Sher-

Reelection. Served 2j Years.
A pathetic incident marked the
closing session of the Grand Lodge
Thursday noon which will never be
forgotten by those who witnessed
it. 1t was during the nomination OF
officers when the name of DR.. ]. NJ.
Norman was presented for Grand
Secretary to succeed himself. For
a quarter of century that sturdy
pioneer has been virtually looked
upon as the fourth link in Colo
rado Odd Fellowship and he has
held the secretaryship of this great
state organization for % years.
His nomination was only a formality
conclusion, as seldom has he ever
had any opposition. What then was
the surprise and regret of the hun
dreds of delegates when DR.. Norman
declined the nomination. In a few
trembling words he voiced his ap-
probation of the great honor con-
ferred upon him for quarter of
a century past and it was now his
desire that the honor should be
passed on to others as worthy as
himself. 1t was evident that his
heart was not in unison with his in
clinatioD, but his decision was firm
and all appeal in vain. With his
long association was coupled tender
reveries, sanity recollections, and a
world of joy. That vast audience
actually looked through tears as Mr..
Norman concluded and strong men
were not ashamed OF their emotion.
The duties of the Office are ex-
tensive and the position entirely hon
orary and all Odd Fellows know that
Or. Norman has given the better
part of his life for the benefit OF
the fraternity.
DR.. Norman then nominated o. f.
Jackson of Denver as his successor
to the secretaryship.
Among the other nominations was
that of ]. E. Shook of Greeley for
the office of Grand Warden. The
