Denver.-Due to the appeal of Miss
Charlotte Alternately, a teacher of
Arapahoe, Mrs. Mary c. C. Bradford,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, will send out letters to the vari-
Gus school boards of the state urging
an increase in the salaries of first
grade teachers in the rural districts
of Colorado as the first move in a
campaign towards that end to be
waged for the next school election in
May.
In letter to Mrs. Bradford, Miss
Alternately says that eighth-grade
graduates, given third-grade teachers
certificates in the teachers eXamina-
tions, teach in the rural district at
the same salaries received by first
grade teachers with normal training,
and from six to twenty years expert
ence, and that as a result, first-class
teachers are leaving the rural schools
and their positions are filled by mex
perienced young girls.
In the country districts, she writes,
the services of experienced and come
tent instructors are more badly need
ed than in any other sections of the
state.
The first-grade teachers in rural
districts. Miss Alternately states, are
so underpaid that they become dis
couraged and leave. The third grade
teachers salaries were raised; why,
she argues, cannot justice be done to
the first-grade teacbers2

From the Pioneer:
There has been considerable discus
sion over the duration of the local cleo
trio light service and while the village
council had come to a conclusion in
the matter it was thought only reason
able by the board that patrons and citi-
zens be given an opportunity to air
their views; accordingly, a mass meet
ing was called for last Saturday even
ing at the opera house and about fifty
citizens responded, most of whom
were patrons. The council Is asking
for twelve o'clock service and the
meeting finally decided to leave the
matter entirely to the board. Other
matters discussed were sewerage and
waterworks. One low point between
Main street and Division street, south,
was the particular subject of discus
sion and it was decided to open the
sewer on Railroad street in an en-.
deavor to ascertain if there is a clog.

the crop. The farmers made bitches
between the fields and dragged them
to prevent the progress of the worms.
When they crossed a road from a
cornfield to a pasture the road was
black and there wasn't a space as big
as a hand not covered with them. So
