There are baseball and football fields,
tennis courts and play room for the
younger children. A small orchard of s.
year-old trees forms the beginning of an
excellent experimental plot. With the
opening OF spring there is a plan to be-
gin work liz building and grating. The
children are to have individual garden
plots, and home garden work has also
been planned.
A good, one-room schoolhouse which
was already on the grounds has been re-
modelled at cost OF 500 into very
satisfactory sixroom cottage for the
principal OF the school Another one of
the old buildings has been made into a
good barn and shed for the horses and
transportation equipment. The main
building is an imposing structure, built
OF native sandstone and pressed brick.

with steam heat fan yentilating system
and indoor toilets, baths and bubbling
fountains.

this is a community school which strives
to help the parent as well as the chill

REAL COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.
Are Being Tried in Colorado with Some
Success.

Colorado has been hampered in its eff
forts to centralize the rural schools into
strong. consolidated schools, because of
the small district organization which
prevails in that state, as in most of the
states in the west and middle west. In
spite OF obstacles however, substantial
progress has been made for the up
building. in The open country, of real
Spmmunity schools. There is no better
illustration of this type than the Cache

miles out from Fort Collins

to an observer of the school work is
that while the universal elements of

Guilty as overcome and is reported to
have expressed entire confidence in his
ability to solve the greater problem
in the near future.
The president Is quoted as having
said recently in a conversation with
an American that the resources of the
country as yet had scarcely been
touched that there was unlimited
wealth in the republic which was

that it was a great error to regard
the country as in a condition even ap-
proximating financial stress. He then

to crush the head. To overthrow this
republic the rebels must take the cap

do. They may elude the federal
forces among their native hills. but
they never win dare to attack this cap
