Mrs. A. C. Morrison of Fort Worth,
Tex, and sons left yesterday morning
for Denver after visit of a few
weeks with Mrs. II. E. Paxton in Du-
range and brother, Harry Paxton, and
family at CASTELAR,. Mrs. Morrison
will spend about month in Denver
and other points in the north of the
state, before returning home. She
said she liked Durango very much and
has spent some time here each sum-
mer for several years. If conditions
were such that they could leave Fort
Worth, she would like to live here.
She considers we have so many nat
ural advantages, that the few disad-
vantages are more than balanced.

Ie Fort Lewis School Receives Full
Enrolment local Help Is Needed

The Durango Board of Trade direc-
tors rightfully believe that the peo-
pie Of this city should see that the
Fort Lewis Agricultural school starts
off on the right foot. Readers of
The Herald are aware of the over ap-
preparations of the late general as
sembly and although the educational
institutions of the state have been
placed in the third class, State Treas
urer kenehan says that the revenues
will not meet all of the third-class
appropriations, hence each one of the
public institutions will suffer and It
will remain for the people Of the towns
where such institutions are located to
care for them until the money becomes
available, providing the money is
Forthcoming another year. The off,
cials of the agricultural board find
themselves handicapped in making re-
pairs and providing equipment for the
Fort Lewis school Notwithstanding it
carried the first appropriation made
by the general assembly. Again, it
was thought that not over sixty-iive
pupils would apply the first year, and
to this end various methods were re-
sorted to to provide accommodations
for this number, but without adver-
tising or solicitation the number has
already passed the seventy mark and
Mrs. Pulford, county superintendent
of schools, believes will reach 100 be-
fore the school opens in September.
1t is the desire of those who have been
active in the work to see that every
facility is afforded for caring for al.
who want to attend the school the
opening year as it will be a splendid
advertisement for this section. To
care for 100 pupils means thirty,fve
more beds and equipment than the
present funds will permit, also another
teacher. Monday DR.. LorY wired that
the board would appropriate $1,000
from the general funds If the people
of Durango would raise an e.,ual
amount. With this situation confront
ing them the board of directors met
last evening, there being present Pres
ident Buchanan and Directors, Adams,
Clay, Davis, McCloud, Eldr,lge and
Jakway, also Mrs. Pulford. The sit
uation was carefully gone over and il
was the unanimous opinion that the
people Of Durango must see that the
institution starts off right as 1t will
mean larger appropriations in the fu-
ture and also increase tn4 attendance
from outside the state. mere being a
half dozen enrollments from other
states, the fame Of the climate and
location having gone forrh over the
country and the future is dream. like,
/. being within the range Ct possi-
bilities that hundreds from other
states will improve the opportunity
and thus the country receive much
beneficial advertising. To this end
President Buchanan will appoint .
committee to wait on the public spir-
tied people of Durango to provide the
ways and means for caring for at least
100 pupils the opening term which
will have much to do with Increasing
the number to 200 or more the second
year. 1t will require SIS per month
for eight months and this should be
easily raised.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1911-04-15
Prof. Roy Praises the Verda Agricul-
tural School.

Verda, La, April 10, 1911. !
Editor CoIfax Chronicle:
The Agricultural High School
of Verda was visited and closely
inspected to-day by Prof. V. l..
Roy, supervisor of agricultural
schools and organizer of the boys
corn clubs of the State. He
seemed to be very much pleased
with the work of the high school,
as well as the agricultural work,
and especially was he pleased
with the sciences of the school.
He stated that the school farm
was the best fenced one in the
State, and that the barn ranks
among the best, of which there
were only about three others as
good as the Verda barn.
The condition of the soil SEEM
ed to please him very much, as
everything was growing well
where stumps were once very
plentiful. This condition of af-
fairs seemed to crafty him very
much.
He is planning to bring Prof.
Dodson here sometime in May,
to conduct an agricultural insti-
tute for three or four days in be-
half of the farmers as we'll as the
school. He said: Il do not in
tend to do this for any other
school in the State, but / am
much interested in the work of
this school, since see the prin-
cipal is so much interested in
the agricultural work. / shall
lend a helping hand in every way
possible to promote the work OF
the school, as / feel that the ben
efits of this school will be fan
reaching. 1t seems to me that
