County Treasurer Culverwell has re-

BEST WORK IN STATE
SAYS PROF. BRIGHAM

Leslie f.. Brigham, State director
of vocational education, in a letter
to A. V. Lee, Panaca, says that the
Lincoln County High School under
the leadership ofProf. j. r, Smith is
better up on vocational work than
any other school in the state except
Reno. He says that Mr.. Smith has ac-
complished wonders considering the
scarcity of equipment,
The director recommends the pur-
chase of a combination circular saw,
band saw, jointer and mortiser and
some smaller hand tools for the shop,
He also recommends that the school
board take advantage Of the Smith
Hughes act and establish an agricul
tural course. Three-quarters of the
salary of an instructor would be paic
by the state and federal governments
The equipment would be expensive
but with the aid of the state and fed
eral governments the cost to Lincoln
county would be nominal, says Mr.
Brigham.
1t is possible that some action vii
be taken along this line soon.
