Teachers Club Comment.

The ST. Jehnsbuly Cale3onian eiitc-
rally comments on the teachers club
of Craftsbury in very complimentary
words as follows: The Teachers club
Of Craftsbury has asked the co opera
ton Of the school directors and citizens
of that town in securing a longer
school year without the long winter
vacation, keener appreciation Of the
value of school books and property, bet
ter sanitary condition personal clean
illness of the pupils, better ventila-
ton and cooperation of the parents in
enforcing the compulsory law and
keeping children at home nights. In
declaring these purposes the teachers
have shown a serious deficiency on
the part Of the average parent in
getting the best results from school
work. If they can succeed in all
these things Craftsbury will become
one OF the progressive towns Of Yer
mont in educational matters"

Elko Free Press: George Russell
met Governor Oddie while in Reno
and the matter of the State Indus
trial home was taken up, and while
nothing definite was done, the Gov
ernor promised to come to Elko the
latter part of the month when the
Board would meet and adopt plans
for the proposed home. The taxes
levied for the home are partly paid in
and will be ready for use shortly, the
first installment amounting to about
$1,000. The same amount will come
in on the second installment in June,
and this together with the $4,000,
raised by the Elko business men will
give the Board $27. 900 for use by
next June. 1t is proposed by the
Board to buy from the Southern Pa
cific 81 acres of land adjacent to that
donated by Mr. Fernald, which will
give the home a good sized farm to
begin with. The railroad has agreed
to let the Board have the land at a
mere nominal figure and Mr.. Skeen,
the agent for the company, will be
in Elko in a short time to complete
the deal.
