uro on THE Constitutional Crisis in

che most eminent orators in the
Southwest and a very pleasing speak
er.
The lecture Monday evening will
be neld in the auditorium of the Cen
trail school building. and an admiss-
ion price of % cents will be charged
for the heleft of the High School
Athletic Association. We trust that

been a number of years since Ros-
well has had the opportunity to hear
DIR. Gray deliver some of his popular
lectures.
The Roswell High School will have

n the afternoon and, on this account,
I requires longer time to prepare it.
The people of Roswell do not want
to miss this beautiful ~cantata. 1t is
going to be the best popular musical
attraction yer given in Roswell. One
of the most interesting features cen
nected with il is that it viii be given
by the school children of Roswell af-
ter having studied vocal music o1ly
i've months. 1t will be an indication
IF the most excellent work that has
been done in music by our school chill
dren in such a Snort time.
The Central School grounds are 80
crowded with children That on the
recommendation of Supt. Brasher, and
Principal Pope. the Board of Educa-
ton has been forced to put up a high
wire fence behind and at the sides of
the base ball batters in order to pro-
tect the children from injury.
We are committing a positive ORA
wrong when we do not provide an
pie play grounds for our children.
Play is "a physical and moral demand
Of h child-a very essential ele-
ment in his education-a privilege
and a pleasure that he saould never
be deprived of. The boy that has the
opportunity to play games will give
his teachers no trouble and ne will
acquire correct habits of character.
With the crowded condition of our
school grounds many of our children
awe not the opportunity to play
their games.
The voting of the High School
bonds will relieve this situation. We
provide ample barns and pastures for
our fine horses and cows and surely
we VIII be as good to our children.
The building of the small ward schools
will not relieve this situation, because
they will not give our children the
opportunitys they should have to sic
coed in life. In the fierce commotion
of our modern life, growing more com
pick each year, il is absolutely neces-
sary for our children to have at least
a hign school education in order for
them tn have an opportunity to meet
these demands. With our present
high school conditions, we are not CIV
ing our boys and girls the aigh school
opportunities they should have. You
will be given an opportunity to give
them this chance by voting these
bonds on March 18th.
II these bonds do not carry a num-

and there are a great many Others

of our own is bound up in this
school bond Issue. :
