early from Colfax narrowly es-
capped serious injury and per-
haps death to the entire par
! ty when coming into the city just
west and north of the crossing of the
|O-W. R. & N. tracks. 1t was 1.30 this
morning as they were nearing the
city when another car was sighted
travelling west. The lights from the ap-
preaching car blinded Mr.. Johnson,
who was driving, and as he swerved
to allow the car to pass, his car struck
the south end of culvert, the front
wheels resting on the embankment
just off the culvert while the rear
wheels swervering around into the
creek. The car came to sudden stop
when the deferential hood on the rear
axle struck an abutment of the bridge.
Mr.. Johnson was thrown violently
against the drive wheel and suffered
bruises while the others in the car
were shaken up Had the car not
been slowed down on approaching the
culvert it would have turned turtle
and dropped in the creek five feet be-
low. The place is an extremely dan
gerous one at night and should re-
ceive the attention of the authorities.
Either the culvert should be lengthen-
ed to the full width of the road or a
guard rail constructed.

Ed Heating writes from Washing

will be the battlecry Of the DemO-
Gratis in the coming campaign.
The Republicans are making des-
perate, but somewhat ludicrons, at
tempt to get away from the prosperl-
ty issue which they were so anxious
TO raise II few months ago. When the
last Congress adjourned we were
warned that we were headed straight
for destruction and now We are assur-
ed by the same Republican authori-
ty, that we are rolling IN wealth be-
cause of the war in Europe and that
Democratic policies ''have nothing to
do with the case"
Our friends, the enemy, overlook
the fact that our country is At peace
with the world largely because of the
presence of Woodrow Wilson in the
White House. That blessed peace
has enabled us to devote our energies
to creating things instead of destroy
ing LhlnSs, Will uue TesuiG thho VIC

Since December /, 1916, the wages
of more than l,OOO,OOO employees in
the United States have been increas-
ed. These increases will add millions
weekly to the purchasing power of
tho ,nen and women affected and ey-
cry line of business will benefit.
But, that is not all We have it on
high authority that before April !
next another million persons will be
receiving similar increases in pay!
That is an unbeatable record.

High School Matters.


The High School committee at q
special meeting last week voted to
employ special teacher to look after
those pupils who for one reason or
another, have not been able to keep
up in the regular work. The employ
ment of special teachers to aid delin-
quent pupils has brought . great Inn
provement in many Of the city schools
and the generous action on the part
of the committee shows that they de-
sire to keep this high school up with
the best in the country.
The total enrolment this year is
over sixty. Such an enrolment is I'M
usual from q population SO widely
scattered. Rio Blanco county should
be proud of the fact that SO many
children are able to take advantage
of the educational ad vanuages offered
here. This enrolment however, has
brought additional problems for the
faculty to solve.
Larger classes mean that individu-
al pupils cannot receive rs much per-
sonal attention from their teachers.
Increased classes also make it harder
for the teacher to maintain the stand
ard Of work demanded In an accredit-
ed high school.
Accordingly, while the percentage
of failures has not increased In the
past few years, the problem of what
to do with the weak pupil has become
an increasingly important one. 1t Is
impossible to let them remain In the
regular classes, as they hold the class
es back. 1t is not possible to start
new classes for them as is done in
larger high schools. 1t seems rather
severe to exclude the weak students
from school, although this is done in
many of the smaller high schools in
this state. The employment of a
special teacher seems the best posi-
BILE solution for all concerned. This
special teacher will not have many
pupils, and will be able to devote
much of her time to correcting wrong
habits of study, and to developing all
interest in school work in her pupils.
There are the two main causes for
failures In high school work. II she
can overcome these weaknesses her
work will have been worth while.
Unfortunately there is no room
available at the high school building
and it may be necessary to secure a
room for her outside the building.
The time is not far distant when II
will be absolutely necessary to pro-
vide more room for the high school.
