THE COALDALE SCHOOL
is STANDARDIZED

The Coaldale school enjoys the hon
or of being the first OF the rural
schools of Fremont county TO have con
ferred upon 1t standardization in the
approved class There are. however
two schools in the county.--those a,
Concrete and Woodruff. that have
reached the probationary stage in
their efforts towards standardization
Miss Garwood. county superintendent
OF schools. states that as many as
eight or ten of the rural schools of the
county VIII apply for Standardization
during tile coming year.
The standardization of the rural
schools of the state is based upon n
number of requisites. The buildings
are taken into consideration. the
neatness of the school grounds. the
character of the teacher. the class %:
work done by the pupils and mary 9th
er matters are all credited as 80
many points. The school must pa "a
with grade OF ninety-two per cent to
get into the superior class. but no:
quite so high TO get into the appros ed
class. Standardized schools are ac.
corded the right to fly the Colorado
state flag: distinction permitted only
to such schools as have attained the
required degree of efficiency.
The coaIdale school was taught last
year by Miss Irene Milton and those
at Concrete and Woodruff by Miss
Edna worley and Miss Iva Bailey

FOR FLETCnER'S
G a STO RI a
COMMUNITY BELL WETHER

Every farmer who raises sheer
knows TO what the above refers. The
bell wether" is the leader of the flock
He usually wears a bell. and wherever
he and his bell go thither his flock
obediently follows. For good or i'll. to
safety or into danger, where he leads
they go. If he happens TO be wise
old fellow his followers profit by his
wisdom, but if he develops vicious and
unreliable traits disaster is almost GER
tain to overtake the flock.
Have you ever paused to think how
like sheep are we humans in this res
pect? Look around in almost any com
munity and you will easily spot the
bell wether. And not only can you To-
! cate him, but little study of local
conditions will invariably disclose to
the careful observer his true charac-
teristics as leader.
If the community is progressive,
prosperous, law abiding and happy,
you may put 1t down that this state
of affairs results largely from the
fact that these qualities are inherent
in the leaders Of community life.
We know that many people like to
think and assert that we are all equal
and recognize no leaders, but this is
purely a fgment of the Imagination.
Nine out of every ten of US are too
busy with our own affairs to take time
to attend to the details of community
life. There are a thousand and one
questions of public import that must
fall to the lot Of some one who has the
time and the capacity to grapple with
them, and under such conditions com
munity leaders are developed. II,
happily, he possesses wisdom, coupled
with spirit of unselfish devotion to
the interests Of the community, then
the community is indeed fortunate.
But when he develops vicious traits
and an inclination for self-seeking.
then. like the sheep, his followers are
in danger.
While. as we have said. most of US
are too busily engaged in our own pur-
suits TO assume these burdens of civic
responsibility. we yet may keep n
watchful eye upon those who have as
sumed the burdens and assist them
in the faithful discharge of their
trusts.
This we can and should do. every
one OF us. This is pretty good old
world. after all. and safe Ieaders and
public ofncialA can easily be found.
