0upnison Gets Normal

One Of the best things that ever
came to the Western Slope country
is seen in the Locating of the State
Normal. School at G unnison. Much
credit is due Representative Lehr
ritter and friends, who have been
90 persistent and ureen: for the
final passing Of this bill and np-
preparation. 1t is now nearly r.
quarter Of a century since the
tirst move Was made tpwaId the es-
tahlish hment Of a State Normal nj,

it has been thought accomplished
but something always happened to
block it.
The benefits to be derived by the
educational interests OF the entire
country west Of the continental
divide can scarcely be estimsted.
Hundreds OF fanatics. who hava in
the past. at . great expense sent
their children ovsr tLs pEApas
to finish their eduration. can in the
future have these advantages near
er home. In fact many have con-
sidrred it out Of the question to

have had. their children grow to
manhood and womenhood without
having sufficient education to ii.
them to go oct into the world and
compete With those having had
better school opportunities.
Quite a reception WAS rendered

the smount Of land the department

New Railroad For Delta County

New railroad interest for Delta
county is growing as the days go
by and the season opens up.
The G. & 3. which is to be part
OF the e. B. g. q. system, has its
eye on Delta county and with the
broad gauging Of its line from
Denver to Gunnison. will doubt
less push into this county from
Baldwin, as only thirty miles oi
rosd building will penetrate great
additional coal territory and 'TinR
it to the fruit belt of Psonia.
The first reason is to develop
coal RESOURCES; the second is to taE
the valleys of the Western Slope
for their immense freight offerings

PRoF. BARNES, Of Philadelphia, addressed
the high school teachers institute and educa-
tional conference at the Massachusetts, Agri-
cultural College at Amherst, Mass, on the 10th
inst, on moral Education in the Public
Schools He traced the moral evolution of
the race and declared that the life of the child
reflected, in a way, some stages of that evolu-
ton. Statistics gathered in England and in
this country among school children showed
he said, that 10 per cent. of those under IL
years of age of whom opinions were asked re
gardiDg story which was related TO them, gave
replies showing that they considered lying and
vengence justifable in the case cited. Hence
Prof. Barnes concluded that children under IL
years of age are liars and naturally revengeful

SNEEzING HAS an extensive folklore in many
countries. Sometimes the act is considered
ominous of good and sometimes of evil.
Among the Jews it has always been regarded,
at an appropriate moment, such as the con.
clusion of bargain, as propitious, and belief
still fingers in many parts of the country that
the regular habit of sneezing particularly
after meals, is conducive to longevity and a
precaution against feyers The old English
custom of saying "God bless you" when a
person sneezed, so as to avoid evil consequences,
has its counterpart in many far.distant parts
of the globe. The early settlers in Brazil found
the sneezer saluted with "God preserve YOU"
while in FIJI it was customary to retort, MAY
you live." In superstitious Suffolk there is a
sneeziDg tarih-once wish, twice kiss, thrice
letter, and four times disappointment. DR..
Morrell Mckenzie, the famous surgeon who
attended Emperor Frederick in his last illness,
is reported to have said that one is never so
near death as when he sneezes. Now you have
all sides of the question and can take any view
you please. In the meantime sneezing will
go on.

AT THE meeting of the State Roads Commits
sion in Baltimore last Saturday Governor
Crothers said: Now that the roads in thu
counties are settled it is extremely gratifying
to the Commission at the manner in which
these selections have generally been received.
1t is also gratifying that the real work is about
to commence l. as well as the other mem.
bers of the Commission, am anxious that the
residents of the State should cooperate and
help US in this work, and they can do it if they
will. 1t is really the peoples work and is not
a matter of profit. Those who are fortunate
enough to have the State roads come by or
through their property can help if they will
by not interfering with the proper drainage of
the roads. They can aid by being willing to
straighten their fences or change them without
objection. The willing removal of pile of
stones and small things like this will help
great deal. 1t is in these and other little ways
that the people can cooperate and they owe it
to themselves to do So"
