SCHOOL OPENS IN
new BUILDING
One of the Finest and Best
Equipped School Houses
in the Southwest.

The New Building, "Just The
Thing" Without pomp or the blow
ing of trumpets, the new High
School building was thrown open
on Monday for the beginning of the
esSion of l9O9-l0 About $50 pu-
pills were enrolled on Monday, and
the number increased daily, until on
yesterday the enrolment reached $50
"The new building is all right, 4"
is the universal verdict of teachers
and pupils alike, and every body is
proud of it, and greatly delighted.
Having been housed heretofore in
the old ramshackle building, and
scattered around over town, the
teachers and pupils can appreciate
the convenience and comfort OF the
nice new building.
The rooms are we'll ligated, and
heated. An electric fan furnishes
all the time ample fresh air. There
is water and electric lights I'm every
room. The halls and stairways
are wide and ample. Altogether
the building is complete. Heldreth,
the contractor and the School Board
have erected and equipped building
which Will remain monum ent TO
their good judgement and skill
heating and ventilating is well ar
range in the basement. Jno. Il.
Suthers has charge of the work as
well as of the rooms above. He sees
Ia il that they are heated and kept
clean. Those of us who have ch.I-
dren being taught in this building
are more than pleased and gratified
that they have such commodious and
convenient surroundings. The corps
of teachers, the most important part
of the whole thing, is the best the
Board could find, and compare favor
ably with the teachers In any city
school anywhere. They are all ladies
of culture and experience, and our
children are safe in their hands.
They are all ladies OF Christian
character, and members OF the
church, and take an active interest,
as rule, in Sunday school and
church work, instead Of balls and
Germns, and fashions whims and
fancies. Moral and religious train
ing, certainly by example. will be
taught, along with text books and
science. This may be "Old Fogy"
talk, in the estimation OF some OF
the readers of this paper, but, never
theless, the large, overwhelming
majority, of the patrons of this
school, and the substantial citizens
of this community, Will be glad to
know that their children's teachers
and eXemplars, while not perfect,
are religious, and their influence
leading all the time in the direction
of the formation of stern, moral and
religious character.
The people Of the community, Of
the County, OF the State, are TO be
congratulated upon the opening un-
der such favorable auspices and con-
ditions, of this new building, i'm
which the men and women of the
future are to be started out upon the
journey of life.
