Thanks Mr.. Carper.

A few days since the Fire Depart
ment was called to the residence OF
Mr.. J. +. Carper on North Hill. They
made a good u IN, but the fire was out
when they arrived. therefore they had
their run for nothing. Mr.. Carper was
away from home at the time, but on
his return he called on Chief White
nan and left a substantial check as
a token of his appreciation of what
the boys intended TO do for him. Such
expressions of gratitude are not lost
on the fire boys. While they appre-
ciate the money and will put 1t 10
good use, they alu the kindly feel
ing which prompted the act far more.

The Roswell Board of Education: )
Gentlemen:-In accordance with
your rules and regulations, 1t Is my
privilege and pleasure to submit to
you my report for the second mont
of this current school year. Accord
ing to my usual custom, / have during
each wee of the month, visited each
school n o of the rooms When
the crowded condition of quite a num-
Der OF the rooms is taken into con-
sideration. the results secured, on the
whole, by both teachers and pupils,
are very satisfactory. There are pu-
pills in some of the grades that should
be denoted to lower grades. because
they are not able to do the work of
the grades they are in. This can not
he done because of the crowded con-
dition of some of the rooms below
them. AS the result of this condition
the children and the schools will suf-
fer. As | said in my former report,
If your teachers were not very super
Tor. nothing could De done in many OF
the rooms but keep school. Your
teachers are very conscientious in the
performance OF heir duties. and have
the best interest of the children and
the schools at heart. There Is a
SlltlsL0 SplTlt Oh EO~ODSTdilOn ana
loyalty manifested by them toward
their school duties.
The pupils, as a whole, are mani
Testing a very healthy interest in
their studies and there is a splendid
school spirit among the pupils t0ward
their school and their teachers. There
have been some failures and demo-
tons. but they have been few when
the conditions have been considered.
! have begun a systematic course in
Moral Training in the grades. ] meet
the pupils in the 9th. 9TH. and Sth
grades once a week and talk to them
on those questions that have a gen
eral influence on character building.
I feel that | am doing some good
along this line. I meet the boys of
all the grades onc a month and talk
20 them very plainly OF some things
that boys need some very plain and
pointed instruction. ! have mad a
splendid response from the boys. I
also ask some lady teacher TO meet all
the girls once a month to ak to
them.
There We're enrolled in all the
schools this past month 1911 pupils.
The actua enrolment would repre-
sent about 1900 pupils. There were
30 206 days belonging-an increase of
over 5000 days over that of the same
month of last year. Their were 90

About Those Insurance Rates.

There has been considerable in
quiry about thai promised reduction
in insurance rates. The water works
have been completed and in operation
for some time, but no reduction has
naterialiZed. A number of the fire
insurance agents have taken up the
snatter with the Underwriters Associa-
ton, among them the agency of L. K.
McGaffey. the latter receiving a re-
ply indicating that representatives of
the Association will be in Roswell not
later than December LIST, and also
stating that the delay was owing to
the large amount of business they
had on hand 1t is hoped that these
mel will be here Don and that a
material reduction in insurance rates
viii follow. Roswell has spent a
great deal of money for fire protec-
ton and is entitled to better rates rs
a result.

day, n because of the fact that 300
children were kept out of school dur
ing the month because of a rainy day.
Also because of this the average num-
her of days attended per pupil was
only Is. The average daily attendance
was 1890 pupils. There were IL cas-
as of hardness in the schools. The
same month last year there were 80
cases. There was only one case of
truancy in the schools this past month
the same month last year there yer
3 cases of truaIcy. This is a SPLEEN
did ecord when We consider the
crowded condition of the schools.
There were 154 visitors out to The
schools. If We were to count the Wis
itors out to the Mothers Club Tea and
the High School Literary program. ii
would, at least swell the number to
100. This greatly increased interest
manifested in the schools by the par
.ents and the friends is very crafty
ing to the teachers and tae pupils.
There was no teacher tardy and none
absent during the month.
Respectfully submitted,
NJ. H. BRASHER,
Supt. City Schools.

FARMING M0DERNIZED.
Agriculture Has Not Escaped ReVolu
ton Of Machinery In All Kinds
Industries.

Agriculture has not escaped the
has swept all kinds of production with.
In the last half or even quarter cen
tury. Many of our readers can re.
member the bull plow with the wood
en- mold-board; when the spike tooth
harrow was considered perfection;
when seeding and planting of all kinds
were mostly done by hand; when the
cradle gathered and the fail threshed
wheat and other small grain.
But the wooden mold.board plow,
which was only few degrees re.
moved from the forked stick OF the
steel share that cuts and turns a clean
furrow to different widths and depths,
and under this have been placed
wheels SO that now the farmer rides
as he breaks his land instead of trudg.
ing weary miles in the yielding soil.
Again, in many places, though not
generally, plowing is done by steam
and gasoline engines, and these will
increase as agriculture is put more
and more upon business basis.
The harrow has followed the de.
velopment of the plow, the spring
tooth and riding disc harrows being
quite generally in use and increasing
yearly.
The riding cultivator is known In
