CONSOLIDATION OF
TWO HIGH SCHOOLS
WILL BE TALKED
OVER SATURDAY
School Directors of North
and South Canon Will
Meet to Discuss Matter.

The matter of the consolidation OF
the Canon City and South Cano:. high
schools, which has been sporadically
discussed for a number OF years, Is
again occupying the attention OF the
school authorities on both sides OF
the river 4 meeting OF the members
OF the boards OF education OF the two
districts, with representative of the
teaching faculties and the county
superintendent of schools, will be held
next Saturday night when the ques-
tion OF the proposed merger viii prob
ably be definitely determined
The consolidation of the two schools
it is generally conceded would result
in increased educational efficiency so
far as the Canon City territory is con-
cerned. and would give the community
a high school second to none in the
state in its course of study and in its
standards OF scholarship. 1t would
be an institution OF which everybody
would be proud and would be the
means of attracting many people here
for the education of their children.
There are no legal obstacles in the
way of consolidation. and there are
many people on both sides of the
river who are friendly to the propo-
sition. Each district has bonded
Indebtedness that could be converted
into a bonded liability il it was de
sired to do so 10 prevent any financ'a
tangie from blocking the suggested
merger. An opinion from Judge Au-
f.Araar,nfru q Snff1l- 20
ton and the steps to be taken to ac-
complish il was placed in the hands Of
the Canon City board of education
some time ago. and will be used as the
basis of proceedings If 1t is decided to
go ahead with the undertaking.
The consolidation of the two high
schools is a matter for the careful con-
sideration of the people OF the com
munity. and the boards OF education
are not disposed to treat il lightly
however desirable its consummation
may seem TO be. They would like TO
have an expression from taxpayers.
patrons and others interested in the
subject. and to that end would be
pleased TO have the opinions of people
concerned in the educational welfare
of the community for their guidance
That representative opinion may be
had I'm relation TO the contemplated
consolidation. The Daily Record is
willing to print the views of people
bearing on the subject, but as a mat
ter of self-protection must specify
that all such contributions be brief
and to the point. Long. discursiva
articles would be likely to lack the
necessary clarity of expression. and
would mvstify. rather than enlighten.
and would necessarily have to be
barred from publication on account Of
the limited space at our disposal for
such controversy.

utilize even such raw materials as
could be obtained and transported to
the factories.
The bolshevist leaders, in these same
reports, also gave attention to the
existence of an acute labor shortage
In Russia simultaneously with a nota-
bly, slack demand for labor because
of the reduced Industrial production.
All three of the documents said that
Russian industry was falling far short
of meeting the country's most meagre
requirements, and that there appeared
to be no available means of remedyIng
this situation. 1t was stated that Rus
STA had been living on supplies left over
from the period of the Romanoff gov
eminent. These supplies were rapidly
being exhausted and bolshevist indus
try was incapable of repIenishing
them. The reports maintained that
the situation would not be improved
by the lifting of the blockade and
the resumption of international trad
ing, since Russia could only purchase
materials from abroad with raw ma
teriaIs of Russian origin, and these
could be neither produced in sufficient
quantity nor transported by the Rus

Confederation of Colonel Ryan.
The report of Colonel Edward w.
Ryan, Red Cross commissioner for
north Russia and the Baltic states,
transmitted through Red Cross cham
nels and published a few days ago,
is regarded as significant in official
circles in that it confirms what the
soviet reports had indicated. Colonel
Ryan visited soviet Russia with the
Esthonian peace delegation and his
first-hand observations confirmed pre-
the untenable economic conditions In
Russia are resulting in a dlslntegra-
ton of the bolsheyist organization.
Through neutral countries the state
department has received confirmation
of many of the points brought out In
Colonel Ryan's report.
Advices through official channels
have shown lately that the soviet or
ganization has at no time been able
successfully to extend its authority
with any completeness into the rural
district even of central Russia. It's
control In the cities and the indus
trial centers has been complete and
this control is said TO have extended

to the reports, extended into the rural
