TO ADO A COUNTY
TO SCHOOL DISTRICT

a bill introduced in tho state legis-
laturc. and which seems to have many
friends and no enemies in this section
of the state. is one to rcdistrict or re-
apportion the divisions known as the
normal institute districts.
Pueblo county is "A part OF tho Sow
cnth district; the other counties are
Fremont and Custer. This district has
been so comprised for many years.
owing to the fact that Custer coun-
try's general population. and therefore
school population, is light. tho Ere
mont is among tho larger In this re-
gard, the district as whole is not so
great in teacher population as II should
be to secure the best results and the
best attractions in its Institutes. In
fact Pueblo county is the biggest part
OF the istrict.
1t is proposed in the bill referred to.
that Chaffcc county shalt be added to
the seventh district. thus giving It
four counties and n very much higher
standing among the normal districts or
tho state. At present Chaffee county is
a. part OF a district lying largely on
tho west side of the main range and
therefore to some extent at least incon-
vcnicnt to the teachers of Chaffcc
county. II tx understood that for this
son and for the further reason that
tho people Of Chaffee county would
prefer to attend sessions of the normal
in Pueblo. that county also is strongly
for tho bill, In fact: 1t is stated that
all four of tho counties mentioned arc
anxious that tho bill become "A law
