most sincerely wish to thank
each and every one Of you for your

alton during these years.
In these years past we have been
able to provide equal educational
opportunities for every boy and girl
in the county. We find that boys
and girls are eager for these op-
portunities when within their reach
This fact Is proven when we study
the high school enrollments OF this
county.
In 1917. before any OF the con-
solidated schools were in operation,
there were 204 pupils enrolled in
the high schools Of the county. AT
present there are some 365 enrolled
and the school year Is only half over,
for on January 22 twenty-one stu
dents will enter the Rio Grande
County High at Monte Vista, this
making the enrolment 3S7 or prac-
tically double the number enrolled
six years ago.
In addition to the fact. that en-
rollments are increasing. We have
the greater satisfaction OF knowing
that we are giving more vocational
work and are helping boys and girls
to choose their life work.
The enrolment. during December
in the schools of the county was
approximately as follows:
