not sufficient pupils to keep up to the
state requirements for maintaining a
rural school. Since that time. how

have become residents OF the district
to warrant its being re-opened. Clyde

in such areas springs, wells and wat

our American deserts have, year af-

life. The recent work of the United

certain desert areas in the Southwest

therefore of special interest. In 1917
