PROF. P. ]. HEWITT
OFFERS RESIGNATION

Prof. Hewitt has decided that the
condition of his health is such that
he would not be justified In attempt
ing another year Of school and has
verbally told the board that he wish
es to be relieved.
Mr.. Hewitt came to US two years
ago and undertook the work of or
ganizing the High School at this
place. No one who has not been In
close touch with such a task, can
realize the mental strain attending
such an effort. The first years work
found him worn, but confident and
the board well pleased with his work.
He was hired year ago for term Of
two years.
The past year has been an unusual
ly hard one. The Saturday school.
the smallpox situation and its at
tendant anxieties. Prof. Dupuy being
out an entire month at a critical
time,, then being called to army SER
vice the last week Of school, all In
creased the strain on the Superinten-
dent. and he weakened SO that he
should have been able to have thrown
on all school work. a month before
school was out. This he could not do
and kept going.
At the close OF school we all hoped
that rest would revive him, and while
he Is better, the short vacation does
not promise sufficient time to get that
degree of strength required for the
strenuous job ahead.
The Enterprise hopes that a year
of rest will restore him to perfect
health, and that he may again engage
in profession which his ripe educa-
tional qualifications and experience
SO eminently fit him.
To find man to fill the place ia
not going to be easy, but the Board
Will do the best they can, and hope
the man will receive the hearty CO.
operation of patrons and pupils.
Without such cooperation. success IL
impossible by the ablest teacher:
with our hearty support and symps-
thy. failure is impossible.
We must not expect that any man
selected can just fill the ideal of each
OF the hundreds Of people with whom
he comes In contact.

LETTER FROM
over THERE
May 81, 1918.


Dear folks at home:
Just few lines to let you know
that we are all well and hope to heal
the same from you all.
We received letter from you day
before yesterday. the first one since
we left San Diego, California and be.
lieve me We were glad to hear from
home. also that there s good pros
poets for good crop.
The vineyards over here, look good
and the Frenchmen say prospects
are good for a fine crop. Grapes Il
the principal crop in this vicinity and
believe me there is sure lots OF them
There are more Of them around here
than there are sugar beets In the iri.
gated districts of Colorado.
Yesterday was Memorial day and
did not have to work So | went to
Pauillae to the Memorial Day pro
gram
A few hundred sailors marched to
the cemetary where services were
held in honor OF the American sailors
and French sailors who gave their
lives for their country In this great
war.
A naval lieutenant spoke, also read
President Wilson's Proclamation
Then the Presidents proclamation
was read in French by the mayor Of
Pauillae. after which a salute was
fired, then taps were played
Then the graves were decorated.
the first grave decorated was the
grave of the first American sailor to
give his life for his country and say
| wish you could have seen the flow
ers that were laid on his grave. The
French women brot armsfull of fow-
ers and also the American sailors and
soldiers, after the flowers were laid
on the graves, and an American flag
placed at the head of the graves.
Pictures were taken OF them to be
sent to their parents.
Will try and get one OF the pic
lures and send it to you. !.
After the services, went to town
and had dinner at the Y. M. C. A..
after which took long walk in the
country which | enjoyed very much.

time and please send us some Raymer

RAYMER CENTRALIZED
SCHOOL A LEADER

The New Raymer school district
situated in northeastern Weld county,
is nine miles wide. and eighteen
miles long. but In spite of this area
the Lincoln Centralized School at
New Raymer is proving decided
success.
Two years ago this large district
operated eleven one-r0om schools.
Eleven teachers we're at that time
teaching eighty-eieht grades. for
each one had or might have at any
time all. the grades. High school
work of any kind was not possible
under such conditions.
In 1917 thes eleven schools were
abandoned and the 160 children who
had form ,rly attended them were
transported in eleven autos to q
beautiful $4,000 central school, pos
sessing its own water system, sewer
system. electric lighting system, o
fine assembly room and most of the
other necessities and conveniences
usually found in all good schools.
Agriculture is taught by the super
intendent, while a graduate OF the
Agricultural College teaches manual
training and mathematics, and
coaches the boys athletics. Another
c. A. c. graduate teaches home econ
omics and music, and directs the play
activities of the girls.
In the new school two men and
five women teach twelve grades, four
of them teaching the eight lower
grades while the other three teach
the high school grades.
1t is doubtful If any other com
munity in the whole Unied States can
surpass the record of this district. 1t
any other district OF which
we have a record, first, in the area
of the district completely centralized
tl62 square miles) second, in the
number of school houses abandoned,
In the distances Travelled and the
number of autos used in ransporta-
ton; third, in the completeness OF
reorganization and the brief space
OF time in which it was brought
about.-C. G. Sargent, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo
RADIO.
The above is the opinion of one
OF the best school men in the state of
Colarod, one who has passed through
all stages of school work and has
made a deep study of rural condi-
tions.
II is part of his business to visit
rural schools. We would hardly dare
to claim that our schools are rs much
OF a success as Mr.. Sargent does.
We feel that much remains to he
done. II the work already done is
such that it leaves something per-
manent, even If there must be some
backing up and some changes, as we
doubt not there will be, then we will
be glad.
