Sargent Boosts
Mesa Co. School

In the current issue of News Notes,
the organ of the Colorado Agricul-
tural college, c. G. Sargent. formerly
county superintendent of this county
but now rural school visitor for the
college, has the following to say
about the Mt. Lincoln school in this
county:
Perhaps no rural school in Colo
RADIO has made such an enviable rec
ord for efficiency in the last five
years as the Mount Lincoln school
which is located two miles west OF
Palisade in Mesa county. This splen-
did school maintains a full four years
high school course, has zoo pupils
enrolled, and employs eight capable
and experienced teachers, four in the
high school and four in the grades.
Agriculture, Domestic Science and
Music are taught by competent teach
ers. The school board and teachers
have done many things to adapt the
school to the local needs, the latest
of which was to adopt the half day
session for the high school pupils
whose services were needed on the
fruit ranches during the pruning sea-
son. To meet the needs of the situa-
tion the high school begins at a.
m and runs until 1890 when it
closes for the day. The other grades
continue as before. This division
gives full half day to work in
school and a full half day to work in
the orchards. 1t has proved so salts
factory that after the pruning sea-
son was over it was continued by
unanimous consent.
OF course a time honored precedent
was badly shattered by the change,
but it seems that both the school and
the home have profited by it.
This is another instance where
common sense mixed with money
money gives good results in rural
schools just as it does in city schools.
