Resolutions Passed By Della
County Teachers Association.
IN MEMORIAM.

IN mEMOftlAh.
We, the teachers of Delta county,
assembled for conference, pay tribute
to the memory of one of our number,
Cornelia NJ. johnson, teacher of noble
purpose and unfailing sympathy,
school official faithful under the most
trying conditions, woman who counted
not her abilities, her attainments, her
very life, dear to herself, but all to be
spent freely in the service of her neigh
Dor.
A true citizen, she gave her thought,
not to her own solitary needs. but to
the good of the community in which she
lived. A true teacher-even when
driven by ill-health from the school
room, she busted herself INCREASINGLY
contriving means by which. not one
only, but many boys and girls might
secure the benefits of college training.
Though extremely retiring by nature
she more than once braved the hard
ships and annoyances attendant upon
entrance to public service, hoping thus
to do still more for education and for
youth.
Her absence from US is an irreparable
loss, but we know that her life has left
an impress upon the purpose of every
one to-whom it was given to know her
high ideals and her spirit of loving
self forgettulness; and through that
influence we feel that she is even yet
our friend and fellow worker.
The Delta County Teachers Associa-
ton after full discussion of the ques-
on-Should districts of the third class
attempt to do high school work? in
dorsed the following:
RESOLUTION.
We. the teachers of Delta County.
assembled in this association believe
that thoroughness and individuality
should be the aim of our Public schools;
that High School work demands care
full preparation and proper facilities.
We therefore recommend; that only
that part of a High School course that.
may be well taught. should be encour-
aged; that districts that are not able to
employ special teachers to teach High
School subjects. should provide a way
for their qualified pupils to attend the
nearest well equipped High School.

Football Game May Be Cancelled.

1t is not yet certainty that the

the grounds must be in, and the dis
tance from the lines which the crowd
must be kept and number of other
points upon which both teams must
agree, has been sent to the Grand June
ton team to sign, and should be back
today. If they agree, and sign the pa
per. the game will be played, otherwise
it will be Cancelled.
The Delta football and basketball
teams go to Paonia today. where they
will play the Paonia boys and girls to-
morrow.
