DONATED SITES NOT IN CORPORA
TON.
We appreciate the generosity OF
Capt. Knowles and Mr.. Schwing in
offering 10 donate a site just out
side the corporation. five blocks
from Gold avenue, east of the grade
road near the Captains residence.
We likewise appreciate the gener-
Gus offers made by several other
gentlemen. We have secured Block
IS, as the site of the proposed build
ing and the offers are too late.
The location should be as near
centralas possible. Block SIS is in
the center of the town using the
corporation boundaries as the limits,
it Is in the center of the plotted por-
ton Of the town, il is near the pres
ent school building which is a de-
cided advantage as II will enable
the city superintendent to more eff
ficiently and carefully supervise the
work in both buildings. AS the
town grows the residence section
will be extended toward the south
and southwest covering the plotted
district. and we predict that within
8 years, Block SIS viii be in the heart
Of the residence portion of the city.
CONCLUSION.
In the past the Deming School
Boards have always had the best in
terests of our schools at heart, the
present Board is no exception. We
are doing everything within cur
power to increase public interest in
our schools, to improve the school
system, to give our children the adj
vantage of sanitaNy and hygenic
quarters, to give them the Sblest
teachers that can he secured, to in
crease the schools efficiency, and to
give Deming n school system second
to none in the great southwest.

Lewis Flats.

John Coleman was at the Flats on
business the first of the week.
Calvin Cooper was kicked by a
horse Saturday.
The dance Friday Digit was
grand success. Everyone danced
all they wanted and enjoyed cake
and coffee at midnight. The dance
lasted until about three O'Clock.
Mr.. Newcomb and daughter were
visitors at j. r. Smyer's home SUM-
day evening.
Mrs. Annie Kimball is now at
home on her claim adjoining A. M.
Kelly's place.
Lewis and Simmons Smyer and
Robert Russell spent Saturday and
Sunday on Mr.. Smyer's ranch.
Another contest in reproduction
work has begun between the boys
and girls of our school. This con-
test will be on the reproduction OF
whole books Of travels, history, fic-
ton and geography. The side win
ming will be given a party or sup
per and perhaps both.
Messrs Smyer and Plummer are
getting along nicely with their well
machine. They now have several
feet Of water in the well they are
drilling for Mr., CHASER and will
soon have enough water to irrigate
several acres Of ground.
The men of the country have
been summoned to work the roads

and there Is an insufiiciency Of class
rooms, the superintendent Office
Is utilized as a class and rehearsal
room and even the halls are used
daily for the same purposes. Our
efficient music teacher has no room
for her choruses only as she finds
the assembly room vacant after
school hours. Whenever the Phil
omathean Literary Society holds a
session all class work must be side
tracked. There is no laboratory for
physics or chemistry and no space
that can be converted into such
room. Working under such un-
favorable and congested conditions
1t is only the ability and faithfulness
Of our teachers that makes our high
school as efficient as it is. We need
modern high school quarters with
a commodious assembly room;
several class rooms; music room; a
laboratory equipped with apparatus
suitable for giving demonstrations
in physics and chemistry; manual
training room; a domestic science
room and a commercial department.
II is impossible to remodel the pre-
sent building and make II partially
suitable for the growing needs of
our high school. The remodelled
building would not be modern. as
there is no basement, there would
be no room for domestic science,
manual training or sanitary closets.
Our present building is adapted
for kindergarten. primary and in
termediate work and ought to be
used for that purpose. Many of
the New Mexico towns have built
or are building modern high school
buildings. Santa Fe with a popula-
ton of 5000, has no ward buildings
but only central buildings, one is a
modern high school of IA rooms,
fully equipped and steam heated;
costing $4,000. The Santa Fe high
school does note nroll as many stu
dents as our high school.
Deming must keep pace or relin-
quish the honor Of the best high
school to some other town in the
territory. The Deming schools have
been the pride of every one Of our
citizens ever since their organization.
The unanimous aim has always been
to increase its efficiency. The Board.
in advocating more modern high
school quarters is aiming to still
further increase its utility. In the
past we have kept pace with other
public schools; at present we are in
the lead; in the future we must
maintain this lead and set the pace
for the entire territory state. The
first question asked by the prospec-
tive settler seeking q home Is Have
you good schools?" We have been
able to answer this in the affirma-

will be increased TO 10 or IL additi-
onal rooms. A conservative esti-
mate indicates that within three years
building equal in capacity to the
present building will be filed to over
flowing.
WARD BUILDINGS WILL LOWER
EFFICIENCY
Deming is not large enough for
ward buildings. We now have a
good graded school. each teacher
handles a particular grade for which
she is by nature especially adapted.
The efficiency Of a school depends
upon careful grading andspecializing:
destroy the grading and the efiici-
ency is diminished. The erection of
two ward buildings in addition to
the present building will destroy
both the grading and specializing;
each grade would be divided into
three divisions and each division
would be located in a different sec
ton Of the town. In order to place
the requisite number Of pupils in
each room, each teacher would be
required to teach a section of three
or four different grades, thus short
ening the recitation period and les
sening the time for individual work.
In short. Deming would have three
ungraded schools at par only with
the ordinary rural ch DOL. The
Board feel that the present standard
ought not TO be lowered, but that
the much needed increase in capacity
must be of such character that
the present high standard will be
maintained and also placed upon a
still higher plane. Two ward build
ings with sufficient capacity to &C.
commodate our growing school for
the next years cannot be built for
$1,000 nor even $4,000 each but
would cost more than one large
building with equal capacity. Ward
buildings always cause much trouble
in specifying ward boundries and
requiring children TO attend in their
own ward. When Deming reaches
a population of 5000 or more and
has election wards with we'll defined
boundaries, then only will ward
schools be necessary. In our con-
genial climate. where stormy days
are a rarity, it is only healthy exer-
else for active children and exhub-
erent youth TO walk from six to ten
blocks TO school. They will develop
better physically and enjoy better
health for doing so.
PRESENT BUILDING NOT SUITABLE
FOR A HIGH SCHOOL

grown its quarters. The assembly
room is filed to its full capacity,
