LA JARA SCHOOL NOTES.

Luta WeDD OF the 9th grade was
in Antonito Monday,
The post card photos of the
various rooms have been received
and distributed,
Gladys Bigelow of the Sth grade
is back in school again after nearly
three weeks illness.
La Jara won sharply contested
basket ball game this afternoon by
score of 13 to Sanford 8.
Rev. j. Z. Large visited the
school Monday morning and par
ticipated in chapel exercises by
singing couple of songs and by
reading from the scripture about
the power of the tongue, which
means the power of words.
Rev. Conaway visited the school
Tuesday morning and participated
in chapel exercises. We are under
many obligations to these gentle
men for the interest they have
taken in the school. We would be
so thankful if more persons, yes,
more of our own citizens would
come to these chapel exercises at 8
a. m. and participate therein with
a song, "A short talk-just anything
Miss Iris Dodson of the inter
mediate grade of the La Jara
public school has been put on the
program for the response to the
welcome address at the San Luis
Valley Teachers Association which
meets at Creede, Friday and Sat
urlay, February oath and 25th.
Principal U. S. Dunn of this
school has been invited to lead the
discussion on the subject, Teach
ing Patriotism in the Public
Schools" at the Teachers meeting
in Creede. We would suggest that
the first step in teaching patriot
ism is to teach children obedience
both at home and in the school.
We think La Jara has the ban
ner 9th grade of the valley. They
are doing some excellent work in
Algebra, Latin, Botany, Rhetoric,
and Physical Geography. The
grade is composed of Frank Nc
Cunnitf, Fac Smith, Orion Fletcher,
Frances White, Jose Garcia, Grace
Kingsbury, Louie Braiden, Helen
Dillon and Gretchen Magee-nine
bright, energetic pupils.
Sup't Christensen made a short
call in the various rooms of the
school, Tuesday afternoon. He is
full of energy, ambition and hope
just the disposition to impart en-
ergy to the school work. He gave
the children short talk and
especially endeavored to inspire
the Sth grade with the desire to
complete their grade in credit
able manner. He, like all the
other county superintendents, finds
spelling and arithmetic the two
subjects in which pupils fall short.
We are pleased to learn that the
La Jara school notes are being SO
extensively read by persons in
terested in schools and school
work, throughout the entire
county. These notes have been
written as local school news only
and to lend IA hand to our local
paper. However, if it develops
that they create an interest beyond
that limit, we feel doubly paid for
our time. Educational interest
needs all the support it can get.
Lend hand, brother. Like Ten
nyson's Brook, let it go on for
ever"

SMITH AND GOLDFISH.

Smith has an aversion for Goldfish.
He never would eat of it or remain in
his home when it was served there to
other members of his family. All in
the household except Smith, husband
and father, were fond of the cod.
Smith is a farmer who lives in the
neighborhood of Port Byron. He drove
in on horseback one day last week. His
wife pleaded with him to buy some
Goldfish. After considerable persuasion,
he consented, in order to preserve
peace in the family.
Smith bought some of the fish at a
local store. Then he secured a piece
of rope. He tied the rope to the tail of
the fish and let 1t drag behind the
horse all the way to Port Byron.
When Smith reached home the FISH
was not fit for consumption. However.
Smith told his family that was the best
he could do; that was as close as he
proposed to travel with a Goldfish.
