THIRD CLASS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS

First and second class school dis
tricts are. as a rule. efficient school
organizations They possess most all
the elements necessary for a good
school. There Is a marked uniform
ity between all FIRST and second class
districts with respect to the char
acter OF the supervision, qualihca-
tons and salaries OF teachers. length
OF term, courses OF study and gen.
eral efficiency OF the schools. These
districts have good buildings. ade-
quate equipment. employ special
teachers and all give a full high
school course
But there is no such uniformity In
third class districts. In most cases
they lack many OF the things that
make the first and second class dis
tricts strong and efficient There Is
practically no uniformity in anything
between third class districts. Each
one Ii n law unto itself. All rural
districts in Colorado are OF the third
class. There are 1876 Of these dis
tricts In this state and II requires
4,s3s school directors to care for their
combined census OF 4s.4ss pupils.
This is an average OF nine pupils for
each director. Many OF the dis
tricts have not graduated a pupil
from the eighth grade in the last
eight years and none of them offer
any high school. Six counties last
year graduated less than twelve pu-
pills each from the eighth grade. and
thirteen counties reported no gradu-
ates from the high school. Some
counties do not have n high school
within their boundaries
Many Of these districts do not en-
roll more than one-haif of their CEN
sus and have an average daily atfen-
dance OF one-half OF their enrolment.
These facts tell the story Of how
Colorado children are not educated.
The following comparison will give
the reader some idea Of the hap-haz-
ard system under which our rural
schools are managed:
There are two large counties IN
this state. approximately the same
sire The typography is practically
identical. while climatic and crop con-
ditions are equally uniform In both.
One Of these counties has only nine
school districts. although some Of
the districts have as many as thir-
teen one-room schools under the
same board. There are only % d.
rectors to manage all OF the schools
OF the county.
The other county has los separate
school districts. each with q one-room
school. This requires the services Of
as directors to employ II teachers.
or one director for each seven pupils
enrolled
The district system as We have 9,
In Colorado has been abandoned by

states will likely take similar action

THAT sTTEMPT ON DIV.

TT perhtps never will be known who was behind the
plot to assasslnate General Felix Diaz in the
Maecon a fashionable promenade in Havana, Cuba,
Thursday night The field of speculation is wide
open. In view Of political that occurred
since General Diaz seized and held the Arsenal in
the City OF Mexico it without saying that public
opinion Is divided perhaps hopelessly on the question
Of responsibility for the attempted assassination,
Many persons. doubt will lay It to friends OF
Francisco Madero, who was forced from the Pres-
dency of Mexico by General Diaz and General Huerta
and who subsequently, murdered shamefully by
partisans OF those two Others unquestionably
will lay the ATTEMPTED killing Of General Diaz
friends o. President Huera. Diaz feared assassi
nation when he in Mexico recently. Huerta
seemingly endeavored to entice him from Vera Cruz
to the City of Mexico. Daz refused thus to place
himself in the hands Of his former friend and ally.
lie remained in Vera Cruz long he dared to do
and then sought safety board United States
warshp After the farcical Mexican election he went
Cuba. He perhaps felt himself secure until he
assaied and stabbed by the Mexican on Thursday
night. That he not killed was due more to good
fortune than design, the attack made with
vindictiyeness that revealed clearly its MUIR
derous purpose.
II would be interesting to know whether the attack
planned by the friends OF the Madero family in
effort to obtain revenge for the murder of Fran
cisco Madero, by interested in the future Of
| the Huerta dictatorship, to a continuance of which
General Diaz is unalterahly opposed. AS the would
be assassin escaped and his Identity is unknown it
will be Gee ngly difficult for anyone to reach a
satisfactory conclusion in the matter Perhaps the
weight Of opinion viii incline toward the Huerta the
ory because. II the Madsro partisans had plotted
assassnate him, they had many opport mites for do
ing it before he went to Vera Cruz to stand the
Presidency.

NEW CASTLE AND coon ROADS.

=, OMMENDABI.E activity is being displayed in this
- county just now in the matter OF the construc-
tlon Of good roads and maintenance work on those
previously constructed. To the general public the
most important work that is being done is tho clos
ing of the gaps the side downSate route from
his city to the Kent county line mile north Of
Smyrna. one of those gaps extends from Glasgow
southwark to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at
Summit Bridge Another extends from Mt Pleasant
to Middletown. Between Townsend and Blackbird an
othor gap being closed rapidly, as also is one be-
tween Backbird and the Kent county line. When
those gaps closed IL will be possible to 80 from
Wilmington Smyrna without leaving stone roads
That may be done by either of two routes. One will
be by way OF Marshaton, Newark, Cooch's Bridge,
Glasgow Summit Bridge, Mt Pleasant Middletown'
and Blackbird. The other will be by way Of New
port Stanton christiana, eoooh's Bridge, Glasgow
Summit Bridge Mt Pleasant, Middleown and Black
bird. BY the State road route through State Road
Red Lion Kirkwood. Summit Bridge, Mt Pleasant
Middletown and Blackbird there will be stone road
except a gap between just south Of State Road and
the canal. New work also is being done on what is
known as the River road route, which is by way of
New Castle. ST. Georges and odessa, connecting with
the main State road just north Of Blackbrd. From
Odessa toward st. Georges magnificent road is be-
ing built 1t passes Old Drawers Church.
James Wilson, State Highway Commissioner and
county engineer says that sixteen per cent of the
hnaHAys IN New Castle county already are improv-
ed With good roads sentiment strong in all sec
tlons OF the county a few years that percentage
will be increased amazingly Commissioners Wilson
suggests that the time is approaching when for main
tenance work. a good roads patrol will have to be
organized in this county. AS he Jews it, the good
roads VII have to be divided into hve-mile or six
mile stretches each section being. for maintenance
purposes in the charge OF n competent who will
be held responsible for It's condition. In short Il
would be the application to good roads of the present
railroad section system.
All sensible persons appreciate the fact that the
most important thing next TO construction in this
good work is maintenance and that there can be
no proper maintenance without a comprehensive and
practical system Of inspection and repair and def
fixing OF responsibility Tor bad conditions exist
ing in any section.
