recommendations, some from
among the best educators in the
middle west; but the ones which
means most to me are thoss pre-
sented by the pupils of Flagler-
and Limon signed by the head of
each family represented in my
schools.
Now good people, facts are
facts and l take the liberty of
stating one because l believe that
we can profit only when we know
the truth. The rural schools of
Cheyenne County are in a de-
plorable state, and believe that
every high school teacher in the
county will agree with this asser-
ton, for it has long been an open
secret that some of our eight
grade graduates do not know a
noun from a verb when they ent-
er high school. Let us face these
facts, let us get wide awake over
this school problem. Let us set
tie down to common sense and
practical things and eliminate all
of this fol-de-rol which teachers
girls and boys to fill positions
which there is but one chance in
millions of their ever having an
opportunity to fill. A hero in
Europe is he who shoulders his
gun and lays down his life upon
the battlefield: but an American
hero to day a twentieth century
hero is he who converts the ele-
ments of the soil into food, cloth
ing and shelter with which hu-
man life is sustained and pro-
longed.
When we begin in our homes
and our public schools to elevate
physical labor, when we make
our homes and school grounds
attractive, when we place farm
labor on an equal footing with
city wages, then and not unit |
then can we hope to keep the
youth of the nation contented
upon the farms.
With all gool wishes for rural
school improvements. l am re.
spectfully.
CHARLOTTE ABEROATHAr
The above article written by
Miss Charlotte Abernathy, shows
that she has the interest of the
children at heart, (although she
was defeated for the Office of
County superintendent and
that she would have worked for
the advancement of our schools.
Such sentiments as those are
certainly deserving Of much
praise. and we are proud to have
such a lady in our county. Ed.

school imbroglio took a new turn
when about forty OF the older pupils

The walkout was short-lived, how
ever. for when the pupils marched to
the Lincoln school they were strongly
advised by Mr.. Hartley TO return to
their places, which they did. The
principal told the children that their
ection would do neither him nor them
any good. This strike" was threat.
ened some time ago when the pupils
notified the board OF education that
they would take such action If the
plan to shift Hartley were carried
out.
The start OF the present trouble
conferred about Hartley. who, as prin.
cipal OF the Whittier school, was head
of the training school for teachers
and conflict in policies brought on
the rumpus with Superintendent e. e.
Ferguson, on which issue the board OF
education and the people OF the city
split
More excitement Is expected next
week when at the regular meeting OF
the board an attempt will be made TO
override President Lichtig's veto OF
