A meeting of the principals
and superintendents of the
schools of the state of Colorado
was called to meet at the East
Side High School building in
Denver, Saturday Mar. 81. Mr..
Robb, of the local school, was
in attendance representing Hol

ly the Interpretation of the du.
ties and work of the body under
the new constitution.
Mr.. Heating, Supt. of Pueblo
Schools, DIR. Smiley, Supt. of
Denver High Schools and MIR.
Muller of the State Teachers
College were the principal
speakers These men are now
and have been for years the
heads of successful school sys-
TENS. Mr.. Keating having
been Superintendent of the Pu-
eblo Schools for 10 years. The
Pueblo schools are well known
for their efficiency.
There is a general waking up
to the fact that the only way to
have a really successful school
system 10 to retain the teachers
as long as they can be prevailed
to remain with a school. No
business in the world outside
of schools ever dream Of remov-
ing its ofticers every year or so,
simply because they have stay
ed long enough" A teacher
cannot learn a community or a
school well enough in year to
do Justice to the work.

meeting with his school board

as a banker) would not pre-
sumo to dictate to Mr.. Keating
as to what kind of text books
or teachers he would need in
the Pueblo schools. He told
Mr.. Keating that the board had
hired him because lie was n
school expert and that they ex-
pected him to shoulder the re-
sponsihility and run the school
The country school situation
was discussed. II was the gen
evni conclusion that the only
hope Of getting efficient schools
in the country is to consolidate.
Minnesota is trying the expe-
iment Of building consolidated
schools with quarters for the
teachers in q separate building.
In Alberta. Minnesota. a large
consolidated school WAS built
and . teachers house was built
near by. The basement OF the

vestbule we find n series of pushbuttons
with names Of tenants over them. We
search for the name of Burkhart and find
it. A touch Of the button is answered in
a few minutes by a tick-tack as the door
is automatically released by some one up

attic, from pneumatic tank in the
cellar, from a pneumatic cistefn,
from creek or a well or a spring at
an elevation above the house, or
from hydraulic ram
2. Plan a compact room ar
rangement that will allow woman
with 2 or 3 children to do her work
without servants, and also to- have
sometime for reading and social ac-
tivity
70. Consider how a hired man
may occupy a room which has a
separate entrance from the remain
der of the house, and yet which may
be under family control.
"A. Plan the addition of outdoor
sleeping facilities. Add a fireplace
to the old farm house.
IS. Plan house with an ac-
cessible and attractive back door or
work entrance
6. Plan a lighting system eth
er by acetylene gas, electric light or
other means that are now available.
Extend this system to the barns if
practicable. Also devise a way to-
heat the house.
81. Plan plain work room or
retiring room for the women of the

other means Of recreation.
IS. Provide an office that shall

access, on the first floor Of the house,
rather than in the attic or in the

supply as the providing OF pleasant
outdoor spaces for reading, sitting,

Attempts Made To
Prevent Registration

Macon, Ga, May Is Evidence
has reached the hands of u. S. Dis
trict Attorney Earl M. Donaldson in
dicating that propaganda is being
distributed through Georgia anita
gonistic to the goyernm ent and
aimed to hinder the work of regis
tration on June 5.
The district attorney yesterday is
sued the following statement:
During the last few days l have
received complaints to the effect
that certain persons in this state
have been advising men subject to
registration not to register on June
5, as required by the recent act Of
Congress, ard inquiries have been
made as to whether there is any
law under which the persons SO Of
Tending could be prosecuted. 1t is
well understood that all men Of
military age, that is between the
ages of 81 and 80, both inclusive,
are required to register on June 5,
and failing to do so are subject to
prosecution and a severe term Of
imprisonment; but it may not be
generally known that those misguid-
ed persons, who are counselling and
advising young men Of military age
not to register are placing them
selves in a most serious position
wherein they are likely to confront
prosecutions and terms Of imprison-
ment.
