Electric Llfthts.
Tho ogitation of tho oloctrlo light
question seems to havo died down as
suddenly as it sprang up. Thore is no
question but tho pooplo of Red Cloud
want electric lights, and if there is
any possible way to provide then tho
city should begin preparations at
onco. Tho majority of niorchautn who
use tho artiticlal gas lamps are thor
oughly disgusted with the working of
that system and are ready to pay for
electricity when thoy can got it.
It has been several weeks siuco tho
moss mooting was held at tho court
houso to boom tho light proposition.
At that mooting tho chairman was
authorized to appoint a committee to
net In conjunction with tho city coun
ril in obtaiuing data and devising
moans, but siuco tho mooting nothing
lias boon hoard of tho work.
At tho timo of tho mooting it looked
ns though there was an elfort boing
liiado to throw "cold water" on tho
municipal lighting schomo by making,
tho question of tho water supply take
procedendo over that of eloctrio lights.
This may havo had somothing to do
with tho apathy siuco shown by tho
council and committee, if a committee
was ever appointed.

Bad Roads
Tho editor took u drivo over into
Walnut Creole precinct last Sunday.
o had thought tho road leading in
to Rod Cloud from tho south was
about tho worst over, but tho roads
touthwost from Inavalo is as much
worso as ono could imugiuo. Of course
tho high water last spring and summer
is somowhat to blame for this condi
tion, and it does scorn no more than
right that the county should givomoro
assistance in repairing these bad spots.
As it is, tho burden falls upon the
very few men whoso property adjoins
the roads, and it is asking too much to
to expoot thom to put in threo-fourths
of their time at repairing roads for
other poople to drivo over.
There will never bo adequate relief
from this condition until wo have a
rounty road overseer and county funds
with which to build good roads. Once
built, tho cost of maintaining thom
isill bo trilling.
Now is tho time to start the work.

Pearl Ilinos is again in school.
Tho number of tuition students has
boon growing loss. Cora and Lorn
Woestior aro now living iu tho district.
Pearl Smith has also moved iu.
Plioobo Osborn and Delbort Thomas
havo dropped out. Thus tho number
has been reduced.
A serious problem is confronting the
board Mrs. Caster's room is crow- ed.
Next year Miss Perkins' room, accord
ing to present prospect, will contain
about seventy. Tho trouble, however,
is that thoro aro not enough square
feet in this room to seat over fifty.
Even thou, the room is crowded. At
present, it appears that more room,
ono more room, at least, must bo pro
vided by noxt September.
Tho Carnival of Nations has como
and gono. Entortainmonts of this
sort aro not without bouoflt to the
student who takes part. Only long
exporienco can prevent the heart
from boating foster and tho knoos
from trembling when ono sees a sea of
faces turned toward him. In short,
stage fright is a social instinct. Only
ono thing will overcome it expori
onco. On tho other hand, entertainments
tako much timo from regular school
work. Class work always suffers.
For this reason, mo-t pooplo agree
that school outoitaiumouts should not
bo given too often.
Concentration is tho cry in many
Holds. Why not apply this in tho
mauagomont of tho schools?
As a beginning, tho kindergarten
might bo moved to tho north side of
tho first ward, Then all tho children
of kindorgnrteu ago could attend
school in this building. One teacher
could handle all very nicely. Thus
both tho north and south wnrds would
obtain tho bouoflt of a full day, with
ono teacher's entire timo.
This would roliovo tho south ward.
Each teacher then would have but two
grades. Tho kindergarten should not
bo combined with uny other grndo.
This can't bo successfully done A
kindorgarton requires a teacher's full
timo.
