GREAT GROWTH OF SLOPE.

The western slope of Colorado is
preparing to spend millions in great
irrigation enterprises. The great
High Line canal in the neighborhood
of Grand Junction promises to be one
of the most important irrigation en-
terprises ever undertaken in this
state, and i'm connection with it there
will be n number of subsidiary prof.
ects, all designed to bring the great
est area possible under cultivation.
These things spell progress. The
western slope has already become
known far and wide for the quality
of its products, and with the COM
pletion of the great enterprises at
present planned IL is highly probable
that its reputation will be enhanced
and that the quantity of its products
will be largely increased. 1t is al
ready impossible to better their
quality.
All sections of Colorado are show
ing much progress and the hopes of
those who in the past predicted great
things agricultuIally for this state,
and were laughed at because it was
not deemed possible that desert
could be made to bloom, are being
realized.-Editorial in Pueblo STAR
journal.

A great many complaints have
been heard today from business men
along Main, Fourth and Fifth streets
regarding the dusty condition of the
business streets. Since 10 O'Clock
this morning a stiff wind has, been
blowing. and, although the streets
in the business section are dusty, the
sprinklers of the city were not out.
and as a result the merchants have
had to keep the doors of the stores
closed on this, the busiest day of the
week. Every now and then a big
cloud of dust has swept up Main
street and every store with an open
doorway suffered.

Pernetnal Sunshine

The time of year is now at hand
when the continual sunshine In this
valley prevails, this intense light to-
gether with the peculiar reflections
from the ground causes uncomfort-
able and annoying eye troubles,
headaches, etc. In great majority
of cases an error of refraction is the
primary cause and the intense light
serves to aggravate the troubles If

friends by his clever work on the To-
cal diamond last season, is willing
to devote his time to the organization
and the management of a first-class

gentlemen, and there is no question
but what they are capable and will
ing to give Grand Junction team of
players that will add laurels to the

fLAYS PRINCIPALS
AND SCHOOL BOARD
President of City Federation OF
Teachers Airs Charges OF
SpitefuI Dealings
instructors in Constant Fear OF
Places to Detriment of
Work, 1t is Alleged

In written appeal to the public
Margaret Mahoney, NJ. D.. president of
the San Francisco teachers federation.
charges that under the probation sys-
tenn the public schools of this city are
being conducted for the benefit of a few
school principals and that such reign
of terror exists among the class teach
ers through fear of the existing system
that the work of the classroom is suf-
fering a serious setback.
1t is alleged in. her complaint that
those who are shaping the policies of
the department are doing so none too
wisely and to the terror of their assist
ant instructors. The same attitude has
been taken by school boards. according
to. Doctor Mahoney.
Doctor Mahoney points out that the
boards right to transfer teachers with
out giving any reason is only one form
of injustice and that personal spite is
often the motive disguised by the
phrases discipline" and good of the
depa rtment.' She alleges that trans
fers of this kind are often the prelim-
mary to a berth on the unassigned
list. which, in some cases. amounts
practically to dismissal.
She declares that the night schools
are sadly neglected and that the
night school teacher is Disseminated
against.
Doctor Mahoney maintains that as
the teacher so is the school, that she
is the living, active factor in directing
the destiny of this nation in SO far as
it depends upon the proper education
of its children. She declares that the
present method of administration In
the San Francisco public schools is
such as to render the teacher con-
stantly a-tremble for fear of losing
her position, and that in this condi-
ton she is unable properly to fulfill
her daily duties toward the children
confded to her care. She declares
that for the best results in the class
room the teachers should be entitled
to a reasonable discretion in methods
and discipline, which they are now de-
MED
She also urges that the salaries of
class teachers be advanced to a figure
equal to that paid firemen and police
men. No class teacher of five years
experience should receive less than
$1,000 a year, she declares
In conclusion, Doctor Mahoney
points out that under the circum-
stances it is no wonder that so many
teachers are nervous wrecks and that
women of ability are seeking occupa-
ton in other lines.
