PLAN OF APPROVING
GRAZING PERMITS

Now that the past few days have
turned the stockmen's thoughts toward
the day when the long feeding period
can be brought to close by turning
the stock on the range local forest Of
ficers report that the demand for
range has been the heaviest ever
! known. AS result of this it has been
necessary for the local forest Offices
to reject applications for approximate
/ ly $4,000 head of cattle and 10000
head of sheep. -
In taking action on grazing appli-
cations the forest service follows the
following practice. Applications are
divided into three general classes. In
to the first class are placed those who
own and reside upon an improved
ranch which viii raise feed enough to
provide for the small amount of stock
which they own through the winter.
In the second class are placed those
who own large number Of stock to-
gether with improved ranch property
or those who cannot produce feed
enough for even few head of stock
which they own. In the third class
are placed those who do not own any
ranch property. After this division
is made applications from the first
class are approved first. Next comes
the established preferences in the sec
ond class. What surplus range then
remains is divided amongst applicants
from the third or lower class and those
from the second class who wish small
increases above their established pref
erence numbers.
In view of the many applications
which arise it is exceedingly difficult
for the supervisor to work ont the al
lotments to the various pernittees and
this necessarily entails some delay in
sending out notices of acceptance or
rejection.
If when contemplating deals which
might in any way affect their grazing
applications, stockmen would first dis
cuss the matter with their local ranger
or some member Of the supervisors Of
fee, when convenient, considerable
trouble and possible disappointment
might be saved.

, mons suggestion-that of furnishing
to the out-of town children and others
nourishing hot soup at cost, was re-
ferred to in a very complimentary
manner, Miss Pratt having naught but
praise for Miss Simmons and her splen-
did service to the schools during the
past year.
Mrs. Foote supplemented Miss
Pr3tt's remarks, calling attention to
the excellent condition Of the health
of the schools this year. She thought
it n mistake from an economical view
point to try to do without commun-
ity nurse. Mrs. r. j. Howard said we
must just not think Of trying to do
without the public nurse, and she
thought we must in some way rustic
the money to pay for this splendid ser
vice for another year.
W. G. Mcdonald from the Red Cross
executive committee was in hearty ac-
cord with the other speakers who had
favored a continuance of the present
plan and urged all to do their utmost
to make the coming Red Cross drive n
success.
A. J. Dickson was decidedly in favor
of continuing the rrs'ent ,l;.:. anil said
he believed the community would suf-
fer distinct loss if the present ar

der that the employing powers might

Resolved; That the Glenwood Par
ent- -Tcachers' association heartily en-
dorses the public nurse movement and
urges the employment Of a pubic

EXCELLENT EDUCA.
1oNAL LECTURE

Thursday evening at the Armory
Hall small audience listened with
great interest to the lecture by Dir.
j. s. Crabb, president of the State
Teachers college at Greeley, the sub
iect of his lecture being "shortage Of
Teachers. National Disgrace"
The speaker gave statistics showing
the condition of our public schools
throughout the United States and stat
ed that the ranks of the teachers were
being decimated at a rapid rate be-
cause of the inadequate financial com
pensation offered to those who have
spent years in fitting themselves for
this profession, \ He predicted that un-
less the people walked up to the neces-
sity of. providing better public schools
the time would soon come when the
wealthy people of the various COM
munities in this country would build
their own schools and provide well
qualified teachers to educate theft
children, leaving the children Of the
poor and middle classes to get the
best education possible through the
aid of mediocre talent, thus bringing
a class distinction prominently into
our educational system. 1t is easy to
imagine the deleterious effect on the
future citizenry Of this country. DIR.
Crabb is very magnetic speaker am
those failing to hear him missed some
thing worth while and it is matter
of great regret that more of our people
were not interested in attending and
hearing this excellent lecture.

PARENT-TEACHERS
FOR PUBLIC NURSE

If the wishes of the Parent-Teaehcrs
association are to be considered, the
present plan of employing commun-
ity nurse will be continued and Glen
wood and her schools will be blessed
with the kindly ministration of Miss
Simmons for another year, to the great
benefit of the community.
At the regular monthly meeting held
Tuesday evening at the grade school
building the association went on rec
ord by way of Il definite endorsement
of the present plan which was adopted
less than year ago, which has gwen
such splendid satisfaction that its qon-
tinuance is demanded.
The first part of the meeting W
~oted to discussion cf
plated visit to -
president 81 .-
ers' college on cdn-
cational topics. 'ot'ation decided
to give the greatest possible publicity
to the affair, believing that DR.. Crabb s
message would prove of great value to
the community.
II. G. Overlook spoke at some length
on the question of "The Community
Nurse From the Community Point of
View" He referred to the great ben
eft to the community through the
service Of Miss Simmons the past yesr
and explained the conditions unIcr
which Miss Simmons was employed,
the stipulation by the Red Cross head
quarters that the money to finance the
movement should be available, should
be in sight or actually guaranteed, be-
fore nurse would be provided by the
Rcd Cross society.
The Glenwood post., 1920-04-17

The speaker then took up the matter
of the work done by the nurse in the
schools by way of careful examina-
tion of the children and helping them
in various ways to care for their
health. The examination of the eyes.
detection of adnoids, diseased tonsi1s,
7 decayed teeth, etc. was rendered too in
a manner which was very compliment
ary to Miss Simmons, although Mr..
Overlook said his plea was for the
plan rather than the personnel.
Mr.. Overlook assumed that the COM
munity wanted to continue the en-
ployment of the community nurse, but
said the means of paying the nurse
from the public funds as heretofore
could not be depended on after the
contract with the Rcd Cross
III cf. He referred to the ulm.
the Red Cross to start April
-r raising 81 900 and warned the
association that if the present contract
is not renewed by June 15 we will not
have Miss Simmons with us next year.
"Thc Community Nurse from the
Teachers Point of View" was discuss
cd by Miss Pratt. She reminded al
of the great assistance Miss Simmons
had been to the schools, her spluadid
work in aiding those who were sick
and preventing sickness in others. Her
work in taking temperatures cxamin-
ing tonsls and adnoids, giving instruc-
tions in exercise and diet and keeping
. very sharp lookout for contagious AMI
infectious diseases and sending homo
any pupils showing dangerous symp-
toms had proved great boon to the
schools, and probably had prevented
one or two epidcmics in the commur
ity.
