WOULD AID G. A. R. VETERAN
Schuyler (Neb.) Post Endeavoring to
Assist Grand Army Man Who
Has Been Stricken.

The gratitude and loyalty OF mem
bers OF the American Legion TO their
comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic Is illustrated by the Legion
post at Schuyler. Neb.. which Is en-
deavoring to obtain aid for Civil war
veteran of that city, who is suffering
from cancer.
The post IS In need OF advice as
to how we can assist this hero of an
other war;" the post commander
writes. "He is stopping with relatives
who are doing all they can. but since
they have to employ a nurse. know
that they cannot continue to care for
him because OF lack OF funds.
Now, we would like to have You
take II up and see IL something can't
be done for the old veteran. This Is

look after them. since no one else viii

Eckert maintains an excellent high
school and grade school. Both are SO
good because of the untiring efforts
of faithful school board and to the
efforts of the Rev. J. j. Hunsicker. a
man of unusually fine education and
training, and Of vision and ambition.
with splendid training in one Of the
best eastern colleges and post grad

lege. Mr. Hunsicker is unexcelled in
the county for leadership in the
schools.
At Paonia c. l.. Lanning is the su-
perintendent. and the Paonia high
school is located in an old orchard
and the school is beautiful in this
setting. and thorough in its work.

, state. The auditorium and gymnas-
ium of this building are two of the
modern progressive features of school
buildings. The building is practically
fireproof, and the people of Delta feel
amply repaid for the cost of the build
ing and the value to the children and
the community in terms Of utility and
beauty.
The only little red school house in
the county is the new school building
on F'ruitland Mesa. 1t Is two-room
modern frame school building, win
dows on two sides of each room; the
house is comfortably furnished and
equipped with furnace. There is no
better two-room school in the county
and the people rightfully feel very
proud of it. There are about thirty
children to attend this school and two
teachers are the two Miss Martins.
Sunday school is held in this school
every Sunday The people plan. to
fix the grounds plant lawn, plant
shade trees, and install playground
equipment. One OF the happiest little
groups of children in the county is to
be found here. They come from
homes that represent thrift and sim
cerity.
Another fine two-room school is
Stewart Mesa school, south of Paonia.
For number of years this school has
maintained teachers of especially fine
qualities. They have improved their
school grounds, planted trees, tinted
the walls of their building, kept up a
library, and last year added piano to
the school equipment. Good pictures
The Delta independent., 1921-09-23

of the rooms and plants are kept in
the windows. The floors are kept in
excellent condition, and the building
furnished with furnace heat and kept
well. Last year considerable play
ground apparatus was installed. Tom
Artt, Guy Dixon and Will Weaver are
the members of the board, and they
deserve much credit for the excellent
condition of the school and the care
full financing of this district.
Another good three-room school is
at Bowie. The teachers are well paid
and Mrs. Clio Chapman. very able
superintendent. has been there num-
ber of years. A teacherage is main
tanned and it is hoped that in few
years they will be able to put up a
new school building. This district
also furnished a good summer school

oiled. Nice furniture is installed and
good care is taken of the building
Some of the best rural school singing
in the county, with the exception Of
Crawford. was found in this building
last year. Art work of very fine
type was done at this school last
year.
Across the river from Stewart Mesa
is found fine two-room modern brick
school building, known as Midway
school. This was erected two years
ago in the place of a building which
was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Ander.
son, former county superintendent of
Delta county, is the principal of this
excellent school. Miss Sadie Gaddis
is the primary teacher This school
has fine basement dining room fur
nished with two ranges and with nee
essary equipment for serving COM
munity banquets. A lawn has been
planted in the yard, and the spring
meeting of the parents and patrons
at the school house has become an
annual event. Sumptuous dinners are
served; the men and boys play horse
shoes outside, while the girls and
women visit and prepare the dinner.
A program is given in the afternoon
and the work of the school year ex-
hibited. No two teachers in the coun-
ty are paid better than these two
teachers, and no school is a greater
source of pride to its community.
Bone Mesa has very good school
in this district 1t will only be a
matter of few years when this
school consolidates with one of the
little nearby schools in order to Sc
cure for their children the best .edu-
cational advantages.
There are two excellent brick
school houses south of Delta, Liberty
and Columbine. The walls are freshly
tinted. and the buildings put in ex-
cellent repair and equipped with fur
naces. One of the incest entertain
ments in this county was given at
Liberty school last April.
Fairview, north of Austin. is the
only school in the county with a gold
plate over the door. 1t is a very
superior school, and is easily the most
attractive rural school in the county.
For years they have kept the best
teachers in the county. and this school
pays the best salaries in the county.
None but the best teachers are ever
given an opportunity to apply for
position in this school Miss Laura

, the youngest district in the county, is
| located on lower Fruitland Mesa, and
! is one of the two log school houses in
the county. 1t has a piano, library
books, and most ambitious school
board.
Lambron Mesa school. three miles
south of Paonia, installed play ground
apparatus last year and maintains a
library for the children. Mr.. Hill
taught there last year.
Most of the one-room schools are
in such a location that consolidation
is not feasible. In few cases where
this is not true, consolidation will
probably take place within the next
few years. 1t must always be borne
in mind that consolidation will not
take place without the consent of the
people and without their vote.
Two other one-room schools are in
District No. II, close to Delta, and
another two in Peach Valley, close to
Delta. A new one-room school is on
Whites mesa, west of Eckert They
have delightful new building and
Miss Mckinney is to teach there this
year.
Delta county has had several new
buildings during the past two years,
two of which are remarkable for
showing in a material way the visions,
ambitions and courage of commune
ties and board members. The new
building at Cedaredge cost $4,000. 1t
has very fine auditorium with a
seating capacity of 500 persons. A
good many large community confer

ences have already been held in this
building. There is an excellent high
school at Cedaredge and most Of the
people are ambitious to send their
children to college when they leave
high school. The people of Cedaredge
and their school board are certainly
to be congratulated upon their fine
attitude toward education in putting
up this excellent building and in the
employment of teachers. They have
literally gone their limit"

doing everything possible to keep

of the children graduating there go on

little school nestles at the foot of the
most beautiful mountains in Delta

There are 46 school houses in Delta
county, and % school districts. Four
teen of these are one-room schools.
The smallest school in the county is
Sand Creek, a little school above the
Bowerman mine, up on the top of the
world. There are just five pupils in
this little school, but the parents of
these children are demanding the very
best possible for their children.
In this same district is Coalby
