After that Star made two points in
quick succession. But we were not
disappointed when they won the
game. Miss Lewis was proud of every
one of us and her liberal praises
where 1t will be hard to defeat us
again. We hope to fulfill Mr.. Jen-

material for a winning team and in
another year he does not expect to
beat us, especially If we continue to
be so fortunate as to have Miss Lewis
for our coach. Every girl of the
team is sincere in their belief that
without Miss Lewis we could not
have accomplished anything near like
what we have and with her we have
learned many things which are in
valuable to us.
But now for the rest of our trip.
The Star Valley people entertained
us after the game and the next morn

THE SCHOOLGIRLS QUESTION.

The matter of providing addition
al school room in the Ely district
considered a necessity, in order
to accommodate the largely ~increas-
ed number of school children, Is a
~perplexing question. The members
of the board of education, with Dis
trict Attorney Zurich, have been at
work upon the subject for some time
past. There are two plans under ad-
visement and each has a certain
amount of support.
The one plan is to erect a build
ing somewhere up hurry canyon and
another building in Central Ely. The
school census shows that the greater
number of small children reside In
these two sections. hence for their
comfort and convenience in winter
weather. rs we'll as their safety at all
times. the plan OF separate buildings
has its supporters.
There are others who believe that
the greatest good will be accomplish
ed by the purchase OF additional
property and the erection of a new
wing on the present school building
In Ely. Those In favor OF the cree
ton of separate buildings urge that
their plan is much cheaper, while
those favoring the enlargement OF
the present building point out that
such enlargement, with additional
ground. when properly beautified
will warrant the outlay.
No doubt a meeting will be called
In the near future at which time all
those interested may attend and ex-
press their views. The question is
purely one of good business policy
and should be left to the citizens to
decide. With this object in view,
the News will open a public forum,
so to speak. and any communications
of reasonable length upon the sub
ject will be printed, provided they
are placed in the hands of the editor
not later than Thursday evening. Oh
curse all such communications
must be signed. as no attention
whatever will be paid to anonymous
letters. However. should: any re
sponsible citizen desire to have pub.
lished his views on the subject, and
