to possible resumption of the negotia-
lions. On the contrary. he gives Mr..

The Morals Of Pueblo Schools

There has recently been current more than the
usual amount of gossip-or shall say, scandal,-con-
herning the moral conditions of Pueblo schools. This
talk has been given currency for the most part thought
essly and without malicious purpose by those who have
personal knowledge of what those conditions actually
who would be unable if called to do so to give
any real evidence in support of the they have
helped to circulate.
Every intelligent man woman ought to know
that the persons who have been rightfuy honored with
public confidence their election to the school boards
of this city at all times ready to hear and to nvest
gate any facts or charges bearing upon the moral
ons of the schools But it is only fair to the school
boards to the teachers and to all those connected with
the schools in any way that circulation should not be
given to indefinite statements that have real evil
dence back of them. ..,....
1t cannot be said anywhere at any time that the
moral conditions of the schools perfect, for that
would imply condition Of perfect morality in the city
itself. But it is fact that the moral conditions in the
Pueblo schools good and not bad. This fact
not be assaed by reliable evidence and it fact that
reflects credit upon the school officials, upof body
of splendid and women teachers whose record is
something of which all the people of this city ought
be proud and upon the boys and girls of the schools.
