Editor of the Grit-Advocate,
Julesburg, Colorado.

Julesburg, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
was very much interested in your
article of last week relative to needs
of our public school. have visited
the school at different times during
the year and find the conditions exact
ly as set forth in your article. The
7th and sth grades are particularly
needing more room and better facili-
ties. Children of these grades are US
ually growing SO fast that they are
not very anxious to devote much ener-
gy to work and certainly are not 60
ing to concentrate their minds If their
bodies are not comfortable The room
where these grades are now located
is badly lighted and poorly ventilat-
ed. am sure that older people could
not do good work under the same con-
ditions that surround these grades.
l hope that the article in yuor last is
sue will prove to awaken interest to
such degree that We may have an
addition built to our public school and
have 1t ready to occupy by the begin
ming of'next fall term. The town has
two good churches and high school
that are credit to any community
Let us bring Cur public school up to
the standard of the other institutions
of Julesburg.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES

Church services on last Sunday were
up to the usual standard Mr.. Long
gave us two splendid sermons, which
were greatly appreciated by all who
heard them. Mr. Long will preach
again next Sunday, both morning and
evening and we bespeak for him a
good attendance of both members and
friends of the church.
The exceptionally good attendance
and interest of the Sunday School is
gratifying to both officers and teachers
Let everyone come and keep 1t up to
high water mark The variations in
the opening exercises each session
has been interesting. Next Sunday
morning bible story for the chill
dren will be given by one of the teach
ers.
Thursday. April 29th at the home of
Mrs. Chas. Petersen, is the next meet
ing of the Ladies Aid All members
and friends are cordially invited.

Better School Building

In the last issue of the Grit-Advo-
cate attention was called to the crowd
ed and unsanitary conditions that ex-
list in the public school, AS result of
that article some Of the patrons have
come to visit the school and see the
conditions as they exist. Let others
come and believe you will agree with
us in that the editor painted no glar-
ing picture of the situation as do not
believe that many of the parents real
ize that We have had about fifty pu-
pills packed away in the garret of the
building where there is no means of
ventilation and the poorest kind of
lighting.
1t is impossible for the pupils or
teacher to do efficient work in the
rooms arranged as they are at the
present time.
l have never worked with class
that has been more regular in atten-
dance or more willing to work than
the seventh and eighth grades are,
hence I know that the parents want
them to do the best and have the best
and I firmly believe that tn epatrons
will not hesitate to improve the build
ing when they know the conditions
and realize that the money is to be
we'll spent.
One of the greatest cooperative en-
terprises Of modern times is public
education and its greatest success de-
pends upon the cooperation of every
citizen. Give the pupil better accom-
modations. Something that he will be
proud of and he will do his part in
will be proud Of.

Last week Greek and his white
wife from Nebraska were arrested and
as yet no final disposition has been
made of the case although the Greek
is ready to plead guilty to the charge
against him. In such cases where
there is no arrangements to care for
women prisoners it would seem for
the good of the morals of the town
that the case should be given immed-
late attention.

The Additio. to the PsL,ie seA..l

1t seems that our article last week
, on the needs of our public school is
having the desired effect. Patrons are
looking into the matter and SO far
the sentiment is to get busy and fur
nish proper building We are pub
fishing couple of letters this week
sent to use and the general sentiment
seems to be that we should build an
addition on the rear OF the present
building large enough to make two
good rooms on the first floor with a
basement that will take care OF the
toilets and where they can be kept
clean and sanitary and that the sec
ond story should be left In one large
room for public entertainments of the
school, Several times year the var
ious rooms want to give entertain
ments where the other departments
and the patrons and citizens in general
can attend SO that we may see what
our young people are doing and now
there is absolutely no place where
such entertainments can be given. Yhe
facilities for doing things make all
the difference in the world with the
outcome. We have had this year a
school that we may we'll be proud Of
The only wonder is that they have
done SO we'll under the present con-
ditions. Let US get busy and have a
school building worthy of the name
ready for next years work.

PLAN A NEW THAW APPEAL
Counsel File Notice in Case Their
Habeas Corpus Fails

New York, March 1S.-Counsel for
Harry X. Thaw yesterday filed in the
office of the County Clerk notice of an
appeal from the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Page, refusing to grant a
motion to return him to New Hamp-
shire, whence he was extradited to
stand trial for conspiring to escape
from Matteawan. This notice of ap-
peal, it is believed by Thaw's counsel
will automatically prevent their client
being returned to Matteawan until the
Appellate Division has reviewed the
motion.
The notice, it was said, was a pre-
cautionary measure designed to keep
Thaw out of Matteawan in the event
of the habeas corpus proceedings
brought in his behalf being dismissed.
Upon this writ Thaw will be produced
on Friday before the Supreme Court
Justice who signed it. 1t was this writ
which prevented the slayer of Stanford
White from being removed to the in
sane hospital after the motion to re-
turn him to New Hampshire had been
denied.

BOSTON TAB0OS BARE FEET
Esprit of Greece Must Go Shod,
Dancers Lament

Boston, Mass, March 1S.-And now
it is bare feet that have been placed
on the tabooed list in this puritanieal
city. Mayor Curley did it yesterday
when he decreed that feet when ex-
posed are shocking to public morals.
This latest edict hits young society
women who were to do barefoot dancing
at the 1915 dance carnival for the
woman suffrage fund. 1t has never been
customary to wear stockings in Greek
interpretative dances, they protested; :;
but Mayor Curley replied that he is 60
ing to smash custom.
All feet must be hidden in hosiery,
says the Mayor Unless his order is
obeyed the show cannot be given.
Bare feet are as innocent as bare
hands or bare faces said Lila V.
WYman, society dance introducer.
1.-The Mayor interferes with work of
art and says nothing about suggestive
jokes that are used in musical come
dies in some of our most respectable
theatres. In Boston the spirit of Greece
must 90 shod.''
