Inns REPUBLICAN, RAWLLNS, WYOMING, THURSDAY. JULY g. 1924

The census which was taken dur
ing the month Of April, 1924, dis
closes a school population of 1907
of school age, as against 1905 on
June l, 1928. In addition thereto
the children of kindergarten age
totaled 90.
During the year ending June 1,
1923, two lots in block 3, u. p.
Railroad First Addition were bought
out of the general school fund by
the board at a total cost of $1,000
which act on the part of the Board
was ratified at the Annual Meeting
a year ago. During the year ending
June 1, 1924, it became imperative
that arrangements should be made
for additional room. The School
Board called into conference the
Auditing Committee, consisting of
Paul Paulson, H. Breitenstein, E. A.
Durant, C. A. Brimmer and d. C.
Kinnaman and discussed at length
the location of a new school build
ing and, after due discussion and
consideration, it was considered ad-
visable to- purchase the two addi-
tional lots on the south half of block
3, in the U. P. Railroad Company's
first addition to Rawlins at q total
cost of $15,O0O.O0.
The School Board %thereupon called
a mass meeting of the citizens and
tax payers of Rawlins to discuss the
ACCESSIBILITY of a bond issue and the
construction of a High School build
ing. There were less than forty
people present at the meeting. No
protset against the bond issue was
registered on that night, the pur-
pose of the meeting being, ON the
part of the Board, to ascertain the
wishes of the general "a paying pub
lie. No protests being raised to a
bond issue. a legal call for voting
upon an issue of bonds in the amount
of S275, 100000 was made, upon
which question the voters of this dis
trict will be privileged to vote on
this date. The Board has some com
parative data which they have secur-
ed from the County Assessor and
County Treasurer, which is attached
hereto and. with your indulgence,
will be commented upon, in order
to explain, in a way, the method
whereby it is expected that the Jay
ment of interest on the bonds and
a sinking fund to retire same may
be reasonably met.
We r recommending special
taxes to be raised by vote of the
tax payers of School District No. 8
to defray the expenses OFF upkeep of
schools and the employment of
teachers for the current year, as
follows.

CHAMPS
STAGE ROUNDUP
AT UNIVERSITY

Nearly forty girls and boys, cham
pions in Boys and Girls club work
in eighteen Wyoming Counties, were
last week guests of the University
CT Wyoming. Among the features
of the annual Roundup" was a
tour of inspection of the various
schools of the University; talks by
the ead of University departments
lectures on special phases of boy and
girl club work by faculty members
of the College of Agriculture and the
department of Extension; motion
pictures secured especially for the
occasion and exhibited in Agricul-
ture College; a gigantic bonfire cele-
bration on the first evening of the
week and on Thursday night, a ban
quet at Hotel Conner by the Laramie
Council of Industry.
According to Extension Depart
ment officials at the state University
the recent "Round-Up" was the most
enthusiastic ever held under the aus
pices of that department.
, 1924-07-03

general increase in the burden on
each fund was felt. Enumeration
disclosed that 1907 pupils were en-
rolled in place of the 1,OO6 the year
previous.
Following visits to every school
building in the city. the auditing
committee suggested certain expen-
ditures necessary to the health and
efficient education of school children
and these amounts were voted at the
school meeting upon recommended
ton of the school board.
The auditors report, which con-
tains in summary every fact of the
t~reasurer's report, follows in full:

INCREASE in SCHOOL OPERATIONS

That the business of educating Rawlins youth is becoming
increasingly important is shown by data covered in the re
ports of the Treasurer of School District, and the auditing
committee appointed to review the work of the year just past,
which were read before the recent annual school meeting. The
auditors report shows a net deficit of $7,195.39 for the year
1924, yet the school board functioning over that period is
known to have conducted its affairs frugally. -Four teachers
were added to the staff to care for an increased school popu-
lation, small additions We're made to school buildings, and a

VisitatiOns


We have visited the four school
buildings located in Rawlins, Wyo..
in company with the School Board
and find the buildings and grounds
in fairly good condition but, owing
to the usual wear and tear, certain
improvements and repairs have been
recommended by the Board and in
which we oncur. The estimated
cost of the improvements and re-
pairs will be found below:
West Ward
Painting two rooms------- $4,000
Painting toilets, stairway $500
Excavation, retaining wall
and enclosure entrance to
south door of basement $500
Radiation 10000
East Ward
Painting two rooms------ 1900
Six window screens----- 5000
Painting stairway & toilets $500
Repair to toilets---- $500
Sidewalk, curb and retain

Painting 8 rooms - $4,000
Painting Assembly m 212.00
Painting office --------- $500
Painting gymnasium ---- 265.0O
Painting outside building 324.00
Insurance 100000
Cement Dashboard ------ 10000
Repair of toilets - 5000
Misc. & incidental ex.----- 100000
After two years of experience with
the full time nurse employed by Dis
trict No. 8, it is again recommended
that the Board be authorized to en-
ploy a nurse for another year to fol-
low up the work that has already
been done during the past years.
We feel that the money is well eX-
pended from a number of angles.
Corrections are made of the eyes,,
tonsils and adenoids removed, teeth
repaired and the general health of
children whose parents are unable to
supply much needed medical aid is
generally improved.
During the year ending June list,
1924, on account of the crowded con
dition of the schools, two rooms
were completed at the West Ward
at a total cost of S%3,062.66, which
were built out of the general fund.
On account of the rapid increase
in the school system, four new
teachers have been added to the
corps during the past year. That
during the coming year, from pres
ent Indications, at least three more
will have to be added.

quent intervals during the year, and
a comprehensive plan of action fol-
lowed out during that time. The
presence of a school nurse in this
educational system is considered ex-
cellent insurance, also, in that minor
epidemics are checked by excluding
the carrier of a transmissable dis
ease from contact with other child
rem for a short time.

handled by Miss Kraft and her de-
partment, which in turn is followed

FOREIGN LOANS

IN BOND MART
Ready Absorption Empha-
sizes Investment De-
mand For Securities
(By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Heavy over
subscription of new foreign loans over
Swallowed all other developments in last
weeks bond market Although flood
of bond issues poured into the market
their ready absorption only served to
emphasize the Unsuitable investment de-
mand for securities. Prices of listed
bonds on the stock exchange showed
little change.
One of the most enthusiastic re-
sponses accorded foreign loan was re-
Elected in the twenty-fold over-subscrip-
ton of the 100000 offering of
Greek government bonds here. A Bel
gian government loan of S5O,OOO,O0O
was from four to five times over-sub
scribed.
Expansion in new financing, which
exceeded $133, 100000, was attributed
to the desire of investment bankers
to clear up pending business in adj
vance of the holidays. Numerous public
utility and industrial issues placed upon
the market aided in swelling the total
greatly above the $56,0OO,OOO of the
preceding week.
This week bankers are expected to
place on the market $4O,00O,000 in
per cent debentures for the Andes Cop
per Mining company, subsidiary Of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company.
Public offering also is expected of
$10,000,000 note issue for the Krupp
Works of Germay. The City of Paris is
reported to be negotiating with bankers
for $25,000,00O loan. The government
of Poland has sounded out the bankers
en- prospect of obtaining between $780,
100000 and $4O,000,0U0 here. Price
movements in bond trading last week
were generally insignificant.
