The y. NJ. G. A. soliciting committee
Of which H. II. McElroy was one, re-
ceived nice donation Of 5000 to the

TO Mr.. McElroy:

of letter 70 him, and after entering
up the record on the card he will de-
liver you the subscription card.

This subscription makes the total
amount of the Citizens Committee
nearly that desired, but the railroad
boys have not yet finished their part.
They expect to have their portion of
the $4,000 within few days.
Now, il is up to the railroad com
pany to dig up their share or $4,000
and work on the new building could

THE GREATEST GOOD
FOR THE GREAT.
EST NUMBER"

The following communication from
II. B. Jones, who is spending the sum
mer with relatives at Marcellus, Mich.
fully explains itself:
Marcellus, Mich, July 6, 1916
Editor Tucumcari News,
Dear SIR
am inclosing you herewith clip
ping from the Roy Spanish American,
regarding the management Of the high
school in Ration that | think could as
well apply 10 the school management
in Tucumcar. ! notice by reading the
papers that considerable number of
the older and better qualified grade
teachers in our local schools have re-
signed since their appointment in the
spring. | believe that the reason for
this Is largely because our board sees
fit TO give its large salaries TO the spe-
cial teachers instead Of TO the grade
teachers, where the most responsible
ity must be assumed and where the
REAL EFFICIENCY is MOST IN
PORTANT. In the efforts of the To-
cal board to make our schools the
best in the state" | think that they
are putting too much attention TO the
high school and not making the proper
effort TO keep the work in the grades
up to the proper standard. for one.
don't believe that more of the tax
payers money should be expended in
enlarging the high school building or
enlarging the facilities for the special
departments, until after proper and
adequate. well ventilated and we'll
lighted rooms are provided for the
children in the grades, and they are
placed in charge of we'll qualified,
well paid teachers; and believe that
the superintendent should be charged
with the duty of seeing TO it that the
proper standard Of efficiency is main
tanned by the teachers in the lower
grades. THE greatest good for the
greatest number" should not be poor
motto for n school board to follow.
Yours very truly,
II. b. JONES.
The Ration Range last week pre-
sents tire truth regarding the Colfax
County High School which in itself is
an arrangement of the system which
creates il. II says in part:
"Colfax county has high school
which, with its equipment and grounds
is valued at nearly 100000. Out Of
this investment, which does not in
clude about $4,000, for instructors
and maintainance annually, we this
year received return of nineteen
students graduated-in other words,
il cost US, outside the original invest
ment, nearly $1,000 per year for each
graduate student. In past years the
graduates have been many less"
This only emphasizes the fact ap-
parent TO all--that the schools are
not satisfied with rendering the great
est good to the greatest number. They
will slight the lower grades where all
the school children get their start and
squander money on high schools where
only few get the benefit. When the
conditions exist as in the case Of Ra-
ton, where the cost Of educating n
child in high school is three times the
cost of placing the same pupil in the
State University for the same period,
there is something radically wrong
and the schools should be taken out
of the hands Of political manipulators
and visionary theorists and placed in
the hands Of competent, practical ed
ucators."

Charles Troop of BisselI, ILL.,, Regains
Health and Strength Through
Tanlac.
PRAISES MEDICINE,

Another testimonial which bespeaks
the merits of Tanlac, the Master Med
icine" now being introduced in Rock
Island, is the statement which was
made last Monday by Charles Troop,
minor, who has resided in the town
of Bissell, Ill. for the past 40 years
and who is we'll known in that COM
munity. Mr. Troop was highly pleas
ed with the results which he had OBJ
tanned from the use of Tanlac, and in
regard to his improvement had the
following to say:
Before l began taking Tanlac l was
a pretty sick man. l have not felt
we'll for long time, and though
weak and all tired out My stomach
was all out of order and l did not care
for anything to eat. At night l was
restless and could not sleep. When
feel just as tired as if l had not been
to bed at all. I tried several remedies
to see If l could regain some of my
lost strength, but none of them SEEM
ed to do me any real good. l was
speaking to friend Of mine about my
condition recently and he asked me if
had tried Tanlac. He said that he
had heard it was helping people who
were in the same fix that | was, so
came to Springfield and bought bot
tie.
Il was surprised at the change that
took place in my condition. | want to
tell you that Tanlac is all right, if it
will help everyone as it has~helped
me. Since taking the medicine feel
a whole lot better in several ways.
sleep better at night and feel like an
other person when | get up in the
morning. My appetite is improving
every day and l am always glad when
the dinner bell rings. The old tired
and WORKOUT feeling which was with
me so long has gone away and / seem
to have new strength and energy with
which to go about my work Tanlac Is
fine medicine, and l am sure 1t will
help anyone who will give it fair
trial"
