Furniture has been ordered for
the new buildings which will be
in keeping with the structures
themselves, and altogether Va
lencia county will shortly have
a courthouse in which every one
of her citizens may take pride.
The dedication Of the building
is to take place sometime in Julyy,
the program being in the hands
of Judge Mechem. About all that
could be learned at this time of
the programs that there will be
a spread which will tickle the
inner man" interspersed with
speeches by various citizens of
the county, and perhaps some
from outside. In fact we were
informed that every citizen Of
Valencia county would be well
come 20 make a speech, with the
exception of one single man. just
who this one is, we are not going
to say, but Chairman Kempenich
has the line already drawn.
We hope shortly to show our
readers a picture of the new
buildings.

TEACHERS
ARE DOING
GOOD WORK
Enrolment has Increased
and Teachers are Showing
great Interest

The Teachers Institute con-
tinues this week, the interest of
the members increasing, if such
a thing is possible. Three more
have been added to the enroll
ment this week, the high school
room being comfortably filled.
Mrs. Brumback has arranged
that the teachers themselves
have charge of the opening ex-
ercises each morning, a commit
tee of two being named the day
previous. Pleasant surprises have
been arranged and the rivalry of
each committee to do a little bet
ter than the day previous has
had good results. Short talks by
citizens of the town and by the
teachers, interspersed with mu-
sic, have added interest. Among
those outside of the institute TAX
ing part this week, have been
DR.. John A. M. Ziegler, pastor
of the Lutheran Church, H. B.
Kennebeck, chairman of the local
schoolboard and P. A. Speck-
mann of the News.
On Monday and Tuesday Pro-
fessor Conway of the College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts,
was present and made several
interesting addresses to the
teachers. One of these, in which
he explained the manner of graft
ing and budding fruit trees
proved of especial interest to the
teachers. All of his work has
been helpful to the members of
the institute.
Mrs. Brumback, in herusual way,
is taking great interest in the
work, and has the insight ac-
quired by experience of seeing
wherein the individual teacher is
deficient and also the faculty of
aiding that one of thinking the
thing through for himself.
Miss Manette A. Myers, state
director of Industrial Education,
has written Superintendent Baca,
that she will be here to assist in
the work on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week.
The work of Miss Myers is per-
haps the most vital of all depart
ments of education as it comes
more closely in touch with the
home life. Her work covers a
large field including as the name
indicates cookery and housekeep-
ing in all it's branches. Her talks
will be of interest not only to the
teachers but especially to the
ladies of all our homes.
Visitors will receive a hearty
welcome at any hour during the
daily sessions from 7 a. m. to 1890
p. m.
This morning Hon. Jesus c.
Sanchez, former superintendent
of schools of Valencia county, ad-
dressed the teachers, his remarks
being we'll received by the audi
ence.

VALENCIA
COUNTY
COURTHOUSE
Structure is nearing Compile
ton and to be Dedica-
ted next month

In company with Mr.. Jacobson
of this city, and piloted by Chair
man Kempenich of the board Of
county commissioners and mayor
w. G. Logan of the city of Los
Lunas, the NeWs-man took a
look al the new courthouse of
Valencia county last Monday.
The structure is of Santa Fe
brick, with concrete foundation,
two stories and basement. The
brick of the walls are laid in
gingerbread" design, the NOR
tar being compressed a fraction
of an inch instead of being flush
with the edge of the brick. chair
man Kempenich piloted US
through the basement first.
Here we found several rooms
which may be put to various pur-
poses, especially adapted to COM
mittee rooms at times of conven-
tions, and the like; a large vault
for the storing of documents,
books and papers, not in actual
use; a roomy boiler room for
heating purposes, as well as la
vatories, etc.
On the first floor proper, we
entered spacious hall, off of
which is the commissioners room,
sufficiently large for the comfort
of the board while at work and
all citizens having business be-
fore the body. Adjoining this are
rooms for the county clerk, with
a roomy vault connected, for the
storage of records and documents.
On the same floor are rooms
for the treasurer and assessor,
these being also supplied with a
vault of sufficient capacity to
protect all records and papers.
Mountaing to the second floor,
we pass from the hallway, into
the courtroom. On one side of the
hall, are offices for the accomo-
dation of the district court clerk
and sheriff. On the other side are
jury rooms, one for the grand
jury work and two for petit ju-
ries. Chairman Kempenich led us
across the Bridge of Signs, !"
which he explained was built for
the express convenience of Judge
Mechem in making the prisoners
come across. This connects
with the upper portion Of the jail.
The Jail, like the courthouse is
two stories and basement. In this
building are offices and rooms
for the sheriff and his assistants
separate apartments for female
prisoners, lavatories, etc. In the
basement a large room is ar
ranged for a heating plant and
storage Of fuel. In the west end of
the jail is the large cement room,
where are to be placed the iron
cages for the care of los malos
hombres. /" The cages or cells will
be two stories in heigtd, the room
being so constructed that a third
cage may be placed above this, if
necessary. Light and ventilation
are we'll prepared for, without
taking from the Strengnt OF the
walls. Chairman Kempenich di-
vulged the secret to US that the
weak places in the walls are
known only to the commissioners.
What we saw of the Jail was suf-
ficient that hereafter we shall
want to view it only from the
outside and the greater the dis
tance between US and the Jail, the
better will we be satisfied.
Both courthouse and Jail have
been wired in anticipation of
electric lighting, and telephones,
and the plumbers are at work

wauwasosa High school Commended

To the Editor Of Wauwatosa News:
Dear Sir: AS chairman of the Board
of Education, l have had my attention
called to highly complimentary letter
recently written to Mr.. P. A. Kolb as
principal of the Wauwatosa High
School, by the State University High
School Inspector Mr.. d. G. Munro.
The school was visited by the irspec-
tor last December, during the absence
of Mr.. Kolb. who was sent by the board
at that time to inspect certain special
work in Michigan schools, and the
conditions were therefore scarcely up
to normal, as several teachers were
necessarily in charge of other than
their regular classes.
Mr.. Munroe, however, writes as fol-
lows, in a summary of his impressions:
II was much pleased with the school
as a whole. The discipline and spirit
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1913-02-07

vars excellent. Moreover the work
seemed to be going very well indeed.
There are two criticisms which can be
leeitimately made concerning the
school. First--some of the sections
are altogether too large, and, If the
school increases any more in size, /
think you ought to havs an additional
teacher, / do not believe in first year
sections that run thirty or more in
number. Second--Jn your library
there are 80 duplicates, or practically
no duplicates for the work in History
and other subjects.
Mr.. Munroe also discusses the work
OF the various departments quite fully
showing that the inspection was care
fully and intelligently conducted. lie
commitments the work Of certain indi-
yldual teachers very mighty and reiter-
ates his conviction that 1.-THE school
was in an extremely satisfactory con-
dition in most respects
The criticism as to the size of tie
first wear classes was of course due to
the fact that this years freshman class
Is very abnormal, it being much the
largest class that ever passed thru the
grades and therefore source of diff
entity from the kindergarten up in the
matter OF OVERLOOKING the class rooms,
The fact that under these circumstan-
ces so much could be said in praise of
the work done is therefore taken as a
demonstration Of the ability and thor
ouphness with which the work of the
High School is being conducted
