ventured to correct him in the state
ment that pupils could not pass from
our high school into the more important
Of the higher schools of learning when
the fact is, that pupils can go from our
high school into the State University,
the Denver University and other of the
leading educational institutions of the
state to take certain courses of study
while there are some courses of study
in which they can not do so.
We also called the gentleman's at
tention to the fact that his comment on
the Posegate estate having been turned
over to the board for high school purpos-
es was slightly misleading in that it
might be construed to mean that the
board had. from this source, several
thousand dollars in cash available for
the construction of high school build
ing while, in fact, the estate consisted
entirely of land.
He replies that land is quite saleable
property but that, if an effort has been
made to convert this land into money
he has never heard of it. Well, there
are probably good many things that
he has never heard of, but it is certainly
too bad, if the school board fails to con-
fide to him all of its doings and plans
relating to this and other matters. Then,
he seems to have recalled the fact that
the HERALD editor was member of
this high school board and proceeds to
read the riot act to the board in the
following effusion:
perhaps if the high school committee
would come out Of that deep sleep into
which it seems to have emerged and
take advantage of the resources it has
at its command, instead of wasting its
time contracting proposed bonds before
they have been voted, Phillips county
would now have decent high school
building, and the money wasted
in that fruitless election would have
bought several bricks for the new
building"
So the gentleman insists that the
board awaken from the "sleep into
which it seems to have emerged" OF
course it must have been slip of the
pen that made him use in that connec-
ton the word emerge" which means
Ito rise out Of"
The board desires to thank the gentle
man for his compliments ry suggestion
which. coming from party of such
large and varied experience in school
board work, will no doubt have great
weight in shaping the future action of
the board at least so far as RETAINING
from emerging" into sleep is con-
cerned.
The board may be asleep on the high
school building proposition but, If so, it

time and the less the Republican has to
say on this point, the less explanations
it will be called upon to make. In the
