School Notes

About dozen new pupils entered
school Moaday.
The school library contains the best
collection of helpful books on agricultural
subjects to be found in >an. library in
Eastern Colorado.
Miss Jessie Everett, teacher of the
fonrth Grade the past two years, has tend

accepted with sincerest regrets. Miss
Nellie Drake, for several years teacher
in the schools of Elkhart, Ind, has been
secured Tor this position,and will begin
her duties next Monday morning.
1t mother should murder her child
with strychnine she would be held ac-
countable for the act under the laws of
Colorado and punished accordingly. But
that same mother may kill her child with
tuberculosis germs and lay all the blame
to Providence. /" Not long ago the
architect of this column of notes attended
public meeting in Holly. Near him sat
women who was evidently in the last
stage of consumption. She coughed al
most necessarily and expectorated in
to 4x4 handkerchief with which she
frequently wiped the nose and mouth of a
sweet little girl, about three years of age,
who was innocently nesting in her lap.
Now, that mother is numbering her child
just surely as il she were deliberately
feeding it strychnine. Much has been
done in recent years to educate people
concerning this great white plaque" but
cases like the one just mentioned indicate
that the campaign of education should 30
on for while. Every effort is being
made in the public schools to instruct the
rising generation in methods of prevent
ing the spread of tuberculosis, and il is
hoped that before many years have passed
public sentiment will demand as much
care in preventing the spread of this dread
disease as il now demands in preventing
an epidemic of small pox in the commu-
nifty.
