The SchooIroom Voice.

The "schoolroom voice" has long
been a term of reproach. Teachers
may not be able to improve the quail
ity of their pupils voices, but they
can do great deal toward getting
pupils to speak In an easy and nat
ural tone of voice, which will still be
audible not only to the teacher, but
also to the pupils in all parts of the
room. In addition, constant attention
should be given, day in and day out,
to matters of clear articulation, correct
pronunciation, and right infection. BY
making the conditions of the recita-
ton such that the pupils get the feel
ing that they are actually talking to
one another with the intention of i'm
parting information, or opinions, and
not merely ''reciting" to the teacher to
prove they have learned their lessons,
the speech of children would greatly
improve in these respects. But no mat
ter how favorable to good talking the
schoolroom conditions are made, pu-
pills ought to have throughout the en-
tire course systematic training through
special exercises.-Exchange

tie company of the state, is a CO.
partnership recently organized con-
sisting of c. c. Ballard of Roswell
former sheriff of Chaves county, j.
II. Armstrong of Roswell, and G. Rain
oolt of Lordsburg. The purchase OF
the big holdings of the Highland
Cattle company in the vicinity of
Lordsburg was made recently at a
heavy figure, and Immediately the
new company started out on a pro-
grcssive campaign TO strengthen the
productive capacity of its holdings
and branch out on now lines. The pur-
chase of 10000 acres Of state land5
at a record price of $l3S,0O0. the fiG
gest price ever paid for such a tract
was a starter, and the company con
templates soon the purchase of an
other tract close to the Arizona line,
although particulars of the deal are
not yet available.
Az present the company is running
about $4,000 head of cattle, and tha
production of calves the present sea-
son amounts to approximately 5000
lcad, although the season has been
hard one on account of the bad
lrought i'm the early part. From now
