NEVADA SCHOOL JOURNAL
PRAISES MATRON

The following excellent article on
Elko's high school buildings and it's
splendid dormitory matron appears In
the latest issue of the Nevada School
Journal:
Elko's dedication took place a week
later than that of Sparks, February
%, 1918. The cost of the buildings
was Sl7l 900 and as befits the richest
county in the state the sum spent up
on its three buildings, the main
building, the gymnasium and the dor
mi;0ry, exceeded the amounts spent
by the other counties or districts and
the result attained well justifies the
expenditure.
In the main building no study room
is provided for. Elko wisely has the
plan of supervised study in the class
rooms. The principal of the high
school states that by their supervised
study plan the pupils are enabled TO
prepare their work during the regu-
lar school hours, thus leaving their
evenings free for general reading or
amusement.
The gymnasium is provided with
opera chairs and is used for an audi
torium as well as for regular gym
nasium.
The dormitory fills a long felt want
in Elko cOunty-that of providing a
homelikc, suitable place for the non
resident boys and girls to live while
attending the Elko high school. And
the builders certainly carried out the
plan to perfection. 1t is furnished
beautifully, in excellent taste, with
large brick fireplaces adding the last
touch of comfort and homeiness.
Then TO add to the comfort, the din
ing table is set with the very best OF
well-COOkcd food.
And last, and best of all. the coun-
~ board of education has placed in
charge of the dOrmitory a matron, a
lovely. refined. accomplished woman.
Mrs. Mabel Lothrop, who for years
has taught the music in the EIko
schools. Anyone knowing the char
actcr and sterling worth of Mrs. Lo.
throp feels that the county board of
education could not have improved
upon their choice of matron.

sioner requests all motorists to remove
obsolete District of Columbia tags from
cars still carrying them.
The Secre tary of the Automobile Board
of the District of Columbia advises US
that Cong ress made no provision in the
new D. C. Motor Vehicle Law for the
transfer of registration tags during the
current year, from old oars sold to new
cars purchased.
This means therefore, tina t if any mo-
torists residing either in the District or
Maryland, after purchasing d. c. tag
for specific car disposes of said car and
purchases new one during the current
year, it will be necessary for such owner
to take out new tag at the full annual

Train Strikes Bu8By

On Friday night of last week Mr.. CAL
vim Colbert made very narrow escape
from death while on his way home from
visiting relatives near Woodsboro. On
the road home he went to sleep in the
buggy and the good horse was taking
him home. When the team arrived at
Loys Station a freight train arrived
there also and caught the buggy before
it had cleared the track. Mr.. Colbert
was thrown to the ground and his face
scratched and cut considerably. The
buggy was completely demolished.
The barking of dog owned by Mr..
Krise who lives at the crossing awoke
Mr.. Krise and on going to the window
heard someone moaning. He dressed
and went out and found Colbert lying
along the track bleeding freely and the
horse standing by him.
Mr.. Krise notified Mr.. VIM. j. Martin
who has employed Mr.. Colbert for eleven
years ard also summoned DR.. M. A.
Birely of Thurmont. On examination it
was found no bones were broken. Col
bert complained of one of his hips very
much and it is supposed he landed on
that hip when thrown from the buggy.
The accident occurred near midnight. Mr.
Krise had not heard the train and could
not tell how long Colbert had been lying
in the road.
