The trouble is that we give our teach
ers too much to do, pay them too little,
take too little interest in school work
ourselves. and require smattering OF
many subjects rather than the mastery
Of . few.
Those precious years when the pow

breezy, semi-literary and semi-scientihc
instruction which leaves most Of the

few can spell accurately, fewer yet can

write in readable form tho things they
know, and the percentage OF those who
know the first principles Of punctuation

We have felt for long time that the
children need more drill, more concen-
tration, and fewer subjects Of study.

The railroads have made a rate of

Sam Dutton of the Albany has as
sumed the job OF entertaining the
delegates while they are in Denver,

citation has grown to be the largest
cooperative organization in the state,
and It has great influence all over
Colorado. 1t represents some four
Thousand stockmen and farmers, and
its annual conventions are business
meetings where the live stock situa-

the actions of the convention have a
far-reaching influence over the in

Dear Sir: In reply to your recenl
inquiry relarive to the creation oi
Mofiat county and the legality Of
striking of = portion Of ROutt coun'
ty and attaching 1t to Rio Blance
county by means Of . bill in the legis'
lature without q previous vote Of the
people Of the county, will say that
Section 8 of Article 8 Of the Constitu'
tion of Colorado provides:
mo part Of the territory Of any
county shall be stricken of and
anded to an ad joining county with
out first submitting the question
to the qualified voters Of the coun-
ty from which the territory il to
be stricken of; nor unless . ma
jority Of al Of the qualified voters
Of said county voting on the ques-
tion shall vote therefor"
The revised statutes Of 1908 Of Colo
RADIO in Sections ll57 to ll6l inclusive
provide the method Of detaching .
portion Of one county and annexinl
1t to another, which Is apparently ir
accordance with the constitutional
provision, and in our opinion any
method Of striking of one part and
attaching 1t to another without com.
plying with the constitutional pro
vision would be void and could be
set aside II attacked in the courts.
Very truly yours,
