New President of the State
Teachers College.

Probably twenty La Plata county
teachers are attending the state
teachers college this summer, and
within the county's borders there are
more than 150 who have been number
ed among the students at the insti-
tuition. The large number of students
and former students here makes the
election of a new president of the
school of local interest. DIR. Crabbe,
the man elected to fill the position
left vacant by the death of DR.. Snyd-
er, is 48 years of age. After serving
as state superintendent of Public in
struction in Kentucky was elected
president of the Richmond Normal an
almost unknown institution, where
the women outnumbered the men
about SO to L. He has made the
school one of the leading noI1nals
of America and one where the men
students equal in number the women
enrolled. This has been an important
factor in improving the schools of
the state. He did not seek the posi-
tion of president of the Colorado
Teachers college. When the Colo
rado normal board made an effort
to secure his service, the state au-
thorities of Kentucky put forth every
effort to get him to continue his work
there. His selection meets the ap-
proval of the best educators and it
is expected he will make the State
Teachers college, well balanced in
stitution, one where the men students
equal in number the women, a
change that is certain to have an i'm
portant influence on the schools of
Colorado.

Opening a New Highway
Continued from Pag. ~

selfish to say good word for the
San Juan country. The News should
be considered in a favorable light by
all readers of the San Juan when
they anticipate subscribing for Den
yer paper. Moreover the News is
now considered the most reliable and
uptodate paper published in the cap
itol city, Read below what it says
about the new road and the July III,
celebration.
The big event in highway dedica-
tion this season in Colorado will be
the official opening of the new state
highway across the continental divide
to Pagosa Springs from South Fork
on the Rio Grande del Norte.
The official dedication of the road
will take place on July II, tho the
highway will be open for traffic
sometime before that date. The eel
etbration will be held on top of the
continental divide-1O.O00 feet above
sea-level- and it is planned to have
the governors of Colorado, New Mex
states deriving benefits from this
new highway.
The southwestern portion of Colo
RADIO has long suffered on account
of inadequate highway connection
with Denver. The new road opens up
splendid country, especially on the
southern side of the divide, where It
connects with Pagosa Springs, after
following thru the beautiful valley
of the upper San Juan for many miles
The highway affords splendid
southwestern outlet for the San Luis
valley. Between Pagosa Springs and
Durango there is one of the best eu-
tomobile highways in the state, lead
ing thru magnificent forest. Along
the south fork of the Rio Grande,
and on the San Juan after the divide
is crossed, there is splendid fishing
and beautiful scenery. The road fol-
lows Wolf creek, after the divide is
crossed, until that stream joins the
San Juan. The scenery along the en-
tire route of the new highway is not
surpassed anywhere in the state.
When the road between Durango and
Silverton is completed, giving con-
nection with the celebrated stage road
to Ouray, it will be possible to COM
plete circle trip from Denver which
will be without equal in the world.
The Durango-Silverton road is now
in process of construction, but prob
ably it cannot be finished before the
close of 1917.
The new road to Pagosa Springs
not only affords direct route to Du-
range, but will enable Denver motor
lists to reach Mesa Verde National
park, and to push on thru Shiprock,
N. NJ, and to Gallup and the Grand
Canon in short time. Also it will en-.
able them to reach Santa Fe, N. NJ,
by new and attractive route, af..r
a stop at Pagosa Springs,
The new road is splendid piece
of highway construction, and reflects
credit on the state highway commits
sion and the county commissioners
concerned 1t will be one of the most
travelled roads in the state, and the
celebration on the divide should be
a rousing affair.
