Mis- Luells johnson, county superin-
tendent Of schools returned Tuesday
from Denver after several days stten-
dance at the state meeting of county
superintendents. She reports that the
management of district Institutes and
the standardization of rural schools
throughout Colorado were the two most
widely discussed subjects
"Several committees were appointed,
following the adoption of resolutions, to
secure data and work for the improve
ment of rural schools generally, in Colo.
radl," she said. Conditions of schools,
appearance of teachers, playground
facilities, ETC., will be considered in the
effort to suandardize.
Practically all committees were ap-
pointed from Denver and vicinity, for
the presiding officers did not seem to
recognise the western and southern
counties.
Miss johnson is now devoting her at
tention to plans for making the Twelfth
District Normal Institute to be held at
Gunnison June IA to rs, the very largest
ever known. The program has been
printed by the News-Champion job
office this week. County superinten-
dents Of Mesa, Montrose, Delta, San
Miguel, Ouray and Hinsdsle counties
will assist. At least 800 teachers are
expected. The two weeks of institute
will merge into the regular six weeks
summer sessi on of the Colorado State
Normal.

WILL REBUILD GRANITE PLANT.
George Straiton to Have Large Modern
Shed-Other Granite Notes.

A temporary suspension OF activity IN
the Barre granite belt does not seem tc
act wholly as an estoppel on plans for
the future of the industry, a condition
the existence of which is proclaimed by
the very fact that plans are even now on
foot for the erection of modern granite
plant In the south end, the elimination

Mr.. Straiton plans to erect on what re-
mains of the old structure an addition
LA feet in length, with a width of SO
feet, and an annex on the north side with
lateral dimensions of 40 and Is feet.
The office will be located on the site of
the office structure which was burned.
1t will be two stories in height and with
dimensions of "a and SO feet. Mr..
Straiton has made provisions for raising
that section of the plant which remained
intact after the February fire. Cement
piers for the supporting pillars of the
new structure are in process of construc-
tion and the actual building work will
be started at an early date. 1t is esti-
mated that upward of 100000 will be
expended in the construction of the build
ings and when completed the Straiton
plant will be one of the most up to date
in any granite center.
