IMPROVEMENTS ON SCHOOL BUILDING ARE ABANDONED. old School Will be Prepared to Serve as One Class Room for
 the Present.

After a discussion last evening the city council finally decided to make none of the contemplated improve ments on the school building but to fix up the old building near Lowell creek as one class room for this winter. The motion was made by Councilman Crawford and carried, with one dissenting. During the dis cussion Councilman Borgen express ed the opinion that the whole thing had been muddled but when all the plans had been taken into considera- tion it was the general opinion that the amount of money required is too much when the improvements could only have a temporary advantage, anyhow. The adoption of the plans of Architect Kingsley was not car  ried out owing to the lateness of the date. The work could not be finished in time for the opening of the schools and this consideration, added to The cost, was decisive. The only other item of information coming from the meeting was a statement by the city clerk with regard to building permits. He said that when a building permit was applied for the ordinance pro vided that he was to give it. This statement arose from some trouble which came from the moving of a house to a lot opposite the Bank of Seward.

call for scripture verses, and a

CARREOZO SCHOOL IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION
Unusual Interest is Being
Manifested byA Both Teach
er and Pupil. Enrolment
is Large
OUTLOOK FOR SUCCESSFUL
YEAR IS BRIGHT


The close OF the second school
month finds the general condition
Of the Carrisozo schools most en-
couraging and satisfactory. Unus'
ual interest is being manifested by
both teacher and pupil, aud the en-.
rolment at this time Is considerably
greater than at any previous time,
with new pupils almost daily. The
percentage OF attendance is higher
in all departments. much OF this be
ing due to the Incompatible wealth
or conditions which have prevailed.
The outlook for Carrisozo and
School District No. z is assuredly
bright.
The resignation Of Miss Eva Eel.
ton. who has had charge Of the pri-
mary department since the opening
Of the present term, is a source OF
genuine regEet on the part Of all
concerned The school has lost an
exTert primary specialist. Miss
FELTON, has decided to spend a. year
Of vacation and recreation with
friends in Carrizoso. but has no in
tention ol permanently Abandoning
her profession. She has left the
work in excellent condition for her
successor.
To fill the vacancy occasioned
thought the resignation OF Misc
FELTON,. the services Of Mrs Sarah
Moore OF Albuquerque have been
secured and the new teacher was
on hand to take charge OF the work
Monday morning. Mrs Moore Is a
young lady Of excellent qualiIica
tUns and Of long experience in pri.
mary teaching, aud the confusion
attendant upon such an unfortunate
interruption Of the work has been
negligible. Not intending to teach
this year, she had not made
application, but was attracted by
the offer from the lO,al school
board, and came without delay from
her home in albuquerque where she
resided for the past ten years She
