has sheep ranch about half mile
east Of the city, and when he went to
the ranch on Monday he saw wolf
sitting on top Of a straw pile watch
ing the sheep. Frank walked over to
the stack, and while the wolf was
busy picking out the sheep he wanted
for breakfast, he pierced him through
the shoulder with with his fork. The
wolf jumped off the stack right in
front of Mr.. Edwards and he immedi-
ately started to "put the boots to" the
sheep thief. He managed to stun the
wolf and got sleigh stake and sue
ceeded in killing the beast. He took
the dead wolf to Drayton and had it
on exhibition for few days. It takes
a mighty good man to kill wolf
without the assistance Of gun.

The people Of West Gunnison and on
the ranches nearest to the West Town
say they are not getting . square deal
having no school in West Gunnison.
They are the people that should know
all about it. Do they know or don't
they know where most of the school
children are living? The people of West
Gunnison are well pleased with their
school house and the nice place where
it stands. on the high and dry ground
We know most children would rather
go to school on one of the main streets.
Older people should know which is the
best place for them to play on the
streets. Will some of the good people
of East Gunnison find out where most
of the school children are living and tell
the poor people Of West Gunnison thru
the newspaper why they can't have
any school in West Gunnison? Is it be-
cause they don't know where most of
the children are living or is it just be-
cause East Gunnison is greater than
West Gunnison? Greater in their minds,
not 90 great In the number of children.
What will the people think of voting
bonds for another school house when
there is just such school house stand

lfR slPllA COST AZ a9Bnt
ABOUT EQUALS RA|lR0W FARE

The Colorado State Normal school at
Gunnison has the lowest per capita cost
OF any state educational institution in
Colorado.
News-C Champion makes this statement
emphatic. because our friends are meet
ing the allegation extensively circulated
that it cost Colorado $500 year to
educate each student here.
Just where such yarn started is hard
to trace. for no figures on the cost of
the school. or its upkeep, can give even
an approximate result like the above.
No one has ever worked out q salts
factory or absolutely fair "per capita
cost" Of educating students, but il we
take the cost Of the Normal for the last
two years, $65, 2s5. Is, and divide it by
two we get $50. 642.59 as cost of the
school for 1916. There are now 1856
students in the Normal department,
which makes q per capita cost of $242.
But this is not fair. since the greatest
enrolment of $50 comes in the summer
school. and reaches an entirely different
class of students. If We divide
$50, 60. So by $50 We get 500 As per cap
ita cost. But many would argue and
justly 30 that the Normal helps to edu-
cate the training school, the extension
students. etc.. total enrolment Of
TIC. Dividing here we secure $42, which
is nearer the real per capita cost. Or
take just the Normal students alone,
the winter enrolment of 1876 and the
summer school Of $50, which makes
1876 actual Normal students, for whom
the per capita cost is $67
But the figures of $42 above are fair,
and we believe are without question the
lowest per capita cost of any college in
the state. Too low. in fact, for the
State Normal is in crying need Of more
funds. We have almost no equipment
in comparison with the other schools,
and reasonable support would enable
the sole state school of Western Colo
RADIO to double its attendance in two
years. 1t is growing very fast anyway,
but threatens to out-grow all possible
means Of taking care Of the students.
Just one other point The railroad
fare from Gunnison to Greeley il about
5000. The average student would
make the round trip twice year. A
total cost Of $l2 or the per capita cost
Of the educating students at the Colo
RADIO State Normal saved 10 railroad
fare alone. since most Of the students
come from towns west Of here.
The next time you hsar anyone quot
ing pr capita cost, spring these figures
On them.
