Bartlott's Educational Inter-
ests. No ono can bo bettor informed
as to the educational needs of a
town than tho teacher. Having
boon hero somotimo, and having
studied our condition, not as it
appears, but as it is, wo fool com-
petent to offer some suggestions
which if heodod, Would .materially
advance our school interests.
In writing a series of articles
on this subject, wo are fulfy a-
waro that it is not tho popular
thing to do, but when durand
popularity conflict, we would
rather be fonnd on the sido of
duty. ' ,
On one thing thelfpfoople of
Bartlett aro agreed, and that is
that is that we are not doing
what wo should to place our
school interests on a basis with
tho growth of tho town For
two years tho town has grown
mose rapidiy than any other in
this section. The business ca
pacity has been increased. Many
are the new dwellings hat have
been erected, and thed,pmand
for dwellings is still gNaat, not-
withstanding the faot that con-
tracts for new ones are being let
almost daily. In sevora.1 other
lines we hava expanded. What
has been done to improve our
educational interests? To an-
swer this question, we must con
fess that our people have not
made a single step towards get-
ting on a better basis. This is
the more discouraging because
several f wnilieB have moved here
for the sole purpose of educating
their children. As teachers, we
are doing the best we can under
the circumstances. When pat
rons Btay at home and take no
I more interest than to send their
children to school, it places a
rather heavy load on the teacher.
Unfortuua'jely, the motto of too
many people is, A You teach and
we will criticise every time wo
can find anpportunity." How-
ever, this is the exception and
not the rule.
But to get back to more im-
portant matters, let us ' take a
view of the field. On what kind
of a basis aro we trying to
build? In the first place, we are
yet A the community system.
Think of a town with- a popula-
tion of at least 1200 people try-
ing to have a school on the com
munity spstem. In this respect
we are on an equality with the
smallest and most unpretentious
school in the county. It is not
very good news to herald abroad,
but we must get to the bottom of
our condition. Let us empha-
size the statement that a town of
our population cannot build up a
school on such a basis. Wo
doubt very seriously whether
there is another town in the state
with a population that will ap-
prouimate ourfl that is in a like
condition. Be it said to the
credit of small towns and num-
erous country sohools that they
are fast leaving the community
system and getting on a basis for
establishing good schools. Tho
example of our. neighbor town,
Killeen, is worthy of imitation.
We make tho statement that
Bartlett's first need is a largo In-
dependent District. Wo believe
our people favor such a digtriot.
It was thought and hoped by tho
peoplo that our oity authorities
would oarry out tho good work of
making ours a city school. As
thoy-havb quietly dropped this
ma,ter, why not'do a still bettor
thing, make 'a strong, independ-
ent district, ,as about 75 .por cent".

done. With the inauguration of
such a district, we would then bo
in good shape to begin opera-
tions alone other lines, and ulti
mately build up a school that
would bo worth more to the town
than all other entfftdses com-
bined. DisojpuraB itmay
seem, let us boarfV that no
town with a poprHRfon of 1500
can build up a sch6ol of any
note under the community sys-
tem. Let us go to work and lq
the foundation by inauguing a
strong Independent Disc. By
so doing wo will put our town in
line with all progressive' townn,
and make it possible to educate
well the army of young people
in our growing town. . .

the
worst grass famine in years, and
in the vicinity of Antlers cattle
in poor flesh are dying by the
hundreds. There havo been two
weeks of coldweather. Between
Fort Smith and Paris, Texas, the
country has nearly all been burn
ed, 'and feed is very scarce. In
the event of open weather, the
owners hope to range cattle on
the bottom lands, but snow and
sleet havo made it impossible for
cattlo to get to water and back a-
gain. The Impson "valley and
Red River country wiiich has al-
ways wintered cattle with little
loss, reports that a third of the
cattle will die before the winter
is over.
,Stock Law Contest.
Before Judge Penn tho stook
Haw oloction of Grangor-Bartlolt
precinct adopted on December 28
1901, was contested. Under the
law Judge Wilcox was made tho
party to tlfo suit. J. M, Lamb et
al. wore tho contestants. After
hearing tho testimony Judge
Penn declared the' election . void.
The evidence showed that the
original potition asking tho oloct-
ion to bo held to keop tho stock
from running at large was filed
on November 13 and the election
ordered November 14th. Tho
commissioners court,however,met
on tho 11th of November and the
law states that theso petitions
must bo filed before tho court
.meets. It is understood that"
since the vkvi of tho contestants
has boensustained that the
friends of tho measure will ask
tho commissioners court which
meets tho 2nd. Monday in Feb-
ruary to order another election.
In the case of W. F. Magee et al.
constants ys. Judge Chas. A.
Wilcox the election was held valid
and will be in full force on Feb-
ruary 14th. Tho evidence show-
ed that the potition was filed on
November 11th before the court
mot and was granted on Nov.
14th,Jhe samo day as tho Gran-
ger Bartlett election was ordered.
The Hutto stook law election will
also bo in full force on Februrary
14th as the notice was posted on
January 14th and it will, take ef-
fect in 30 days. Messrs. Nelms
& Sansom, of Georgetown, and
W. A. Barlow, of Granger, rep
resented the contestants in these
cases. Georgetown Commercial.
Plucky Salado.
Mr. J. W. Love, of Salado,
days that the loss of about $2,500
of College money which was in
the Citizens Bank will not pre?
vent completion of tho building.
The house was almost completed
at the time, but had several un-
paid bills for lumber and labor,
which the funds in the bank were
to pay. After the bank failed the
citizens met and raised a consid-
erabljjMunn to meet current ex-
pensernd complete the worki
Arrangements will be made for-
.the settlement of all bills and the
sohool not be allowed to suffer on
that account. Plucky Salado.
If ever a town proved that it des-
erved a success Salado cert-
ainly has dono so. Bell County
