these parents see that their children
get to school at least ten minutes
earlier some radical measures will
have TO be resorted to break up his
baneful practice. 1t means much in
the development of character to
teach caildren the Importance of be-
ing prompt and on time in the per-
Torrance of all life's duties.
There are about as many boys as
there are girls in the Roswell schools.
This fact speaks well for our town
and our schools. 1t is an indication
that the boys and their parents of
Roswell see the Importance of secur-
ing an education. There Is not a
school in all the west that will show
such a splendid record with refer
ence to their boys as will the Ros-
well Public Schools.

ing has been secured and after the
introduction of manual training and
domestic science in the schools, a
still greater interest will be taken by
the pupils in their school work, be-
cause they will feel that they are be-
ing in truth prepared to meet the du-
ties of life. These features will I'M
doubtedly make the Roswell Schools
second to none in the west.

give a banquet in honor of the visit
ing contestants from the various nigh
schools of the territory that will par
ticipate in the Interscholastic Terri

quet will be given at The Gilkeson
Hotel. There is not a more patriotic
nor more school spirited Senior class
in the west than the Senior class of
the Roswell High SCHOOL,.
There are 21 members of this class,
by far the largest class in the his
tory of the Roswell High school. There
are eleven boys and ten girls. Here
to6ore the girls have o~utnumbered
the boys. In most high schools there
are from two to three times as many
girls as boys in the graduating class.

gram and with the aid of these social
and special features. the Territorial

be a history-maker.
Miss North is preparing a lot of
special music for most of these occa-
sions and IL will be a revelation of
the york that has been accomplish
ed in music in these schools in just
four months. Miss Atkinson is pre-
pairing a fine exhibit of drawing,

the work done i'm this lin by the
