Parents make grave mistake, as
we regard il, when they leave every
thing to the school in the training OF
their children; teachers. we believe,
make as grave mistake when they
throw off all responsibility for the
pupil at the close of the school day.
Teachers and parents have distinct
and well-defined duties to perform in
relation to the child, it is true, but
nothing that concerns the child's well
fare can be without common interest
to home and school.-Christian

AMONG THE FIRST BILLS.

That useless boards and bureaus
win be relegated TO the junk pile by
the Republicans is assured. In this
connection the following Denver dis
patch to the Pueblo Chieftain says:
According to those who will prob
ably direct the affairs of tho state
for the coming two years one will
be nbolishing the state board of health
and creating the office of health com
missioner.
The state board of health has al
ways been one Of the most expensive
and least productive departments in
the state government. In 1907-s It
cost approximately $4,000. In 1911.
f2, the costs had jumped TO $4,000.
and under the present biennial period
1t costs approximately 100000. The
board is never in harmony among It's
own members on any subject and
there is always more or less dissen-
tion and turmoil besides it In used for
political purposes far more than for
the benefit Of the health of the people
Of the state The incoming adminis-
tration is pledged for the abolishmcnt
Of boards and bureaus that are un-
necessary and one Of the first to be
abolished viii be the state board Of
health.
There will be created the office Of
state health commissioner and the
health of the state will be put under
one man, the same as the state bank
commissioner has charge and the state
insurance commissioner has charge

Special to the Chieftain.
Denver, Nov. 12.-"I don't think it
is going to make any very great diff
ference in the prosperity Of our
state remarked Herb George, an old
time Coloradoan who has been closely
identified with the upbuilding and de-
velopment of tie state for the past
forty years He was referring to
Colorado going dry
Personally l am not inclined to
believe that the prosperity of Denver
and the future of Colorado is pre-
dicated upon breweries and the dis
pensers Of liquors. IN the years that
| have ifTed in Colorado, have had
a fairly good chance to watch lis
growth and development, and / can't
sec for the life of me any necessity
for our people becoming alarmed. On
the other hand, it seems to me that
just ms soon as we become adjusted
to the new conditions, things will be
better than they have been for the
past ten years, and God knows that
they couldn't have been much worse.
Every big financial institution in the
country has been quietly listening to
the croakings Of pessimistic Colorado
ans and quietly accepting their state
ments at par, with the result that
It has been very hard to renew loans.
Many big eastern insurance compan-
les have been quietly closing out their
Colorado loans and getting rid Of ev-
erything predicated upon Colorado
land values. But within the past fcw
days, it has come to my personal
knowledge, that two Of the largest in
surance companies that have been do
ing business in Colorado IN the past,
have suddenly reversed their unfa-
vorable attitude and now stand ready
to renew loans and are willing to
make further investments. This
change of policy of big financial in
stitutions is bound. to reflect favor
ably upon the land situation in Colo
RADIO, and more people viii be found
willing to buy FARMS and homes in
Colorado, because Of their ability to
secure funds at reasonable prices for
development work.

COUNTY AGRICULTURIST
OR COUNTY AGENT

The United States government,
through its agents, President Charles
Lory and d. w. Frear Of Fort Col
Inns, has offered to the counties of
southwestern Colorado one hundred
dollars a month with which to assist
IN the employment Of u county agri-
culturist, provided the counties inter-
ested will raise ut least fifteen hun
dred dollars. La Plata county has
appropriated one thousand dollars
and it is hoped that Montezuma coun-
ty will take action and make it pos
sible to secure a county agent for
this corner of Colorado. The govern
mont viii place the money in another
section Of the state If action is long
Irelayed.
The county agriculturist is a man
trained in agriculture having had an
agricultural college education az well
as practical education on the farm
lie must have had actual farm az
well as school and laboratory expert
ence. He must be man of good
judgment, good speaker and an un-
firing worker.
1t is his duty to live among the
farmers helping them to determine
the best products to grow and the
best conditions under which to grow
them. 1t is his business to help farm
ers to find the best markets and the
best time to market their products
to bring purchaser and seller togeth-
er. He helps the farmer to deter
mine the nature of sickness among
his animals, he gives suggestions to
the rural teachers upon the best
methods of teaching agriculture, he
holds farmers meetings and insti-
tutes in the rural districts and helps
in many ways to make farm life hap
py, prosperous and attractive. He Is
the man who organizes the boys and
girls grain growing, stock judging,
milk testing, cooking and sewing con-
tests. He is truly the farmers friend
working the year round in the. inter-
est of those engaged in his chosen
profession.
II is the plan to have the county
agriculturist live at Fort Lewis and
work out in all directions from there.
II will be decided advantage for him
to live where he may have the use
OF the school equipment, consisting
OF laboratory apparatus, machinery.
live stock and vehicles Of different
kinds and where he may receive help
ficm the instructors in agriculture.
Eight Colorado counties now have
county agents and many counties in
other states have them. Shall We
allow this opportunity to secure one
pass? We hope that he may be Sc
cured in time to take part in the
farmers short course that will be held
NJ Fort Lewis this winter.
