without fear of contradiction that

New Mexico with a more splendid
school spirit. in its student body than
will be found among the pupils of the
Roswell Public schools. This is one
of the best c~riterions of the real
forth of any system of schools.
The teachers have entered upon
their school duties. with the best of
enthusiasm and interest. In fact not,
a more enthusiastic and interested
corps of teachers can be found any
where. With all these existing con
ditions, this coming session of the
schools will lbe. by far, the most sue
cessful in their history. The teachers

responsibility and they do not intend

charge. The pupils realize that these
schools are run in their interest, thai
their teachers are their friends. that
they must be thorough in their work.
II has required much hard work Oh
the part of the teachers and the Su-
perintendent to secure this kind of n
school spirit and interest in the
schools on the part of the Roswell
people, but the fact that this has been
accomplished. has well paid us for
these two. most and hard
working years.
The large increase in the attend
ance on the school for the first week
| has far exceeded the expectation of
the Board of Education and the Sup
| erinteadent. The Board of Education
| acted most wisely in building the two
temporary school buildings. If this
n not have been q the school
| would have been completely handi-
| capped for room.
/. Every department and room has
n much larger attendance than was
| contemplated. The High School has
an enrolment for the first week of l43
pupils-41 pupils more tina that OF
last year-an increase of over 40 per
cent in the attendance. This speaks
more e~loquently than any thing else
I Of the high standard and the reputa-
ton of the Roswell High School. In
fact more than 10 families have NOV
I'd to Roswell for the benefit of our
schools. There is no other enterprise
in the city Chat is of such great inn
portance in its true advancement as
the Public Schools. The new High
School building is an absolute neces
sity this coming spring. When this
magnificent building has been com
pleted not less than $50 families will
move here within Il months because
Of the excellent school advantages
We will then have the very best
schools in ali the WeSt-this is a
very broad statement to make. blt
any. interested person can find oui
by investigating the present schoo
conditions, that the facts have not
been mistated III any way. The pres
ent faculty of cache can not in any
respect be surpassed in any section
OF on country. This can be found
cut by visiting the school rooms and
observing the quality of instruction
Icing done in them by the teachers
About 95 per cent. of these teachers
are college, University or Normal
graduates. with e experien
ces in the best schools of our country
a standard that very few schools in
all the states have.
The pupils are responding in the
O satisfactory name to the in
Struction of the supervisors of music,
drawing and writing. Misses North
and Atkinson are going to do great
things for our schools along these
lines.
Miss Atkinson. the Supervisor OF
Drawing, is going to prepare an ex-
hibit of her work OF the part of the
pupils for the meeting of the Terri
torial Teachers Association here n

teties for this occasion.
For the first tune i'm the history OF
h Roswell High School, the High
School pupils will get out a High
School annual. This Annual will be
The best ever gotten out by any High
School in the west. Ii will be the
greatest advertisement. in an ed1ca.
tional way that the town and the pub.
lie schools rave ever They will
t'be sent to an parts of the United
States and they will go into many OF
the homes of the people of Roswell
II is going to cost a lot of money TO
publish this beautiful book of some
thing like 125 OF $50 pages. The on
ly way that this can be done will be
by the hearty patronage of the bust
ness men of Roswell in the way OF
buying advertising space in this issue
of the annual. The Roswell business
men have always responded literally
for the help of the public schools and
we believe that they will do so in this
instance. We believe that they will
much more than get their money back
because of the fac that this annual
will go into almost all the homes of
The friends of the Roswell Public
Schools. The advertising managers
of the annual will wait upon the bust
ess SOC and we feel sure that the
will receive the very best of substan-
tial announcement in this most wor-
thy enterprise.
