STENOGRAPHERS GET RICH

Washington, Sept. 11.-While

a salutary effect on the various
officials of the Government who
may have been lax in their me.
thods of administration, it has
been a great boon to the official
reporters who have had all the
work they could handle. A stem
ographer who takes testimony
for one hour daily at hearing,
like the steel or sugar hearings,
will make $25 a day, in addition
to extra fees he will charge TO
witnesses or others who want
copies of their testimony before
he gets his notes written up;
and the thrifty stenographer is
never in a hurry to write up his
notes before all such side rev.
enues are gathered in. 1t will
be seen, from this, that merely
the taking and printing Of the
proceedings in the various in.
vestigations will cost the country
many thousands Of dollars. But
the country has had a vast
amount Of entertainment out of
it and for that alone the investi-
cations are doubtless we'll worth
the price.

-FOUR HUNDRED five PUPILS
ENROLLED FIRST week
Alamogordo Public Schools Open With
Brightest Prospects
Enrolment Forty in Excess OF First Week Last
Year

The public schools of Alamo
gordo opened on Monday Of last
week with an unusually large
enrolment and with most en-
couraging prospects for the best
years work that the institutions
have had. The enrolment on
the third day Of this session was
four hundred five. The enroll
ment of the first week of 1910
was three hundred sixty-fve,
while for 1909 it was three hund-
red seventy. This years enroll
nent shows an increase of forty
pupils over the year 1910.
The enrolment OF the several
schools is as follows: Maryland
avenue forty -four; Tenth street
two hundred fOrty-two; High
School one hundred thirty-one.
The teachers and their work are
as follows:
Maryland avenue, Miss Rose
Murphy, first grade; Miss Daisy
Murphy, second grade and third
grades.
Tenth street, Miss Eva FELTON,,
first grade; Mrs. Eva Abbott,
second grade; Mrs. Zane Ogden,

superintendent, geometry and
physics.
The special levy which was
authorized by an overwhe Inning
majority of the voters of this
district will make it possible to
have a full length term. With
the best of teachers already ear
nestly engaged in this years
work, there is every reason to
hope that new mark or stand
ard of excellence will be estab-
lished. The standard of the AL
amogordo schools is high now,
and is favorably known through
out New Mexico, but the pros
poets are that even this high
standard will be raised.
1t Is matter of record that
the schools here are so favorably
known that every year families
move In from other districts of
the county. and some of them
come from beyond the county.
1t is true that the children from
beyond the district are required
to pay tuition, but preference
will be given to the Alamogordo
children, provided their parents
see to the matter of enrolment.
Since school room space is limit
ed it is unreasonable to ask that
reservation be made for those
pupils who are not enrolled
promptly.
To relieve the tedium and
drudgery Of application to text
books, it has been arranged to
have series of Entertainments by
the pupils during the year. These
entertainments will be held on
Friday evenings in the High
School auditorium.
