Harper Herald
Raps Its School
Below we are reproducing an edi-
torial from a recent issue of the Har-
per Herald, treating on the condition
of the public school of that city, and
wc are wondering just what this sec-
tion would do if the school at Rock-
springs had the same rating as does
the one at Harper.
The article follows, and we would
urge you to read it over carefully, and
then reflect how fortunate you are in
living in a community that believes in
excellent schools:
“And another thing. What about our
school. According to a report recently
made by a state inspector Harper has
the poorest school of any town of its
size in the state. That certainly is a
slam upon the fair name of our town
and everybody will admit it. But who
is to blame for this condition? Cer-
ti'nly the blame cannot rest upon
one man or upon a group of men alone.
It looks to us as if every one in the
school district is to blame, the editor
of this sheet as well. To most of us
the question of improving the school
is a risky subject; most of us are a-
fraid to mention it because there has
been in the past so much opposition
to taxation for schools in this section
that we all think that it may open up
old sores, if the question should be
brough up again. Now let us say this;
there are very few people in this dis-
trict that are so moss-covered that
they cannot see the value of a good
school to them and their child-
ren as well as the town. Almost
everyone here turns out to support
any of the school plays and activities.
That is evidence in itself that people
here believe in good schools; that is
evidence that they will support any
measure to improve our school and un-
less we do improve our school we
might as well wrap Harper in a shroud
and bury it because the stench is be-
coming almost unbearable. A live
town always supports and builds good
schools. And those schools are monu-
ments to the progressiveness of its
citizens and a town that has no school
of the better class is dead from the
*
neck up!
“If we don’t want Harper to die and
the youth of the region grow up in ig-
norance we’ve got to build a new and
better stfiool.RIGHT NOW!”—Har-
per Herald.

In making comparison between
Rocksprings and the Harper school
as contained in the above editorial,
we arc proud of the fact that we are
living in a community that holds the
public school in the proper light, and
will dig to the very limit to support
this, the grandest of our public insti-
tutions. i
Our school is absolutely free from
all strife, our trustees are gentlemen
of sound business ability, and are
ever alive to every condition that would
tend to improve the education of the
coming men and women of the land.
These gentlemen, while serving with-
out compensation devote many hours
each week in this work, and are never
too busy to take time from their la-
bors to look into those things that
will better improve the school here.
This year they have added to the
school another handsome building, and
a department in Vocational Training,
and the students in this department
are advancing very rapidly, and are
engaged in a work in this department
under an able instructor, that will
better equip them in the various lines
they wish to fellow after! leaving
school.
The other departments of our school
are presideded over by very capable
teachers, who are paid reasonable
salaries, with the result that many ap-
plications are received each year from
instructors who wish positions in our
school, for the fact that Rocksprings
has the reputation over the country
of having a public school second to
none in the state in a city of like pop-
ulation, or even twice its size.
This is illustrated by the fact that
1 many students are enrolled in Rock-
J springs public school from many
counties adjoining, and we gather in-
formation that others will come to
our school next year from near-by
sections, who are attracted to our
school through the advantages offer-
ed in excellent trusteeship, as well as
the excellent faculty in charge of the
school.
Ranchmen of this section are alive
to those things offered their children
through higher education, support the
school in every way possible, morally
and financially, and when their child-
ren finish here then they are, as a
general rule, sent to the higher
schools of learning in other cities.
Truly we have reasons to be proud
of our school, for it is abslutely free
from political or other affiliation that
would tend to disrupt it, and is con-
ducted on lines that will give the
very best to the largest number of
patrons.
And while we are on this subject,
we cannot help but point out the
fact that a larger school will be nec-
essary in a very short time. A build-
ing will have to be erected to take

care of the kindergarten, if the trust-
ees decide to add this work next
year, and then they must go into the
matter of providing a High School
building, for to tell the truth our pre-
sent building will not hold the stud-
ents within the next year or so, and
now is the time to look ahead and
provide here a high school that will
be in line with the best High Schools
in the state, and this cannot be done
unless we provide proper buildings and
receive affiliations with the State Uni-
versity.
We fell that the school board will
look into this matter and take care
of this situation when the time comes
for action, for they know this section"
is squarely behind them in anything
they might want to do that will im-
prove educational matters.
OAKLAND SETS SALES RE-
CORD IN FEBRUARY
American business interests in Mex-
ico have begun to feel the pinch of the
revolution and have called upon the
State Department to ask the Mexican
Government to loosen up on the strict
embargo which has prevented ship-
ments of urgently needed supplies.
Setting a new high record for the
month ,the Oakland Motor Car Com-
pany during February sold 28,369 new
Oakland and Pontiac Sixes, according
to figures reported to the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
W. R. Tracy, vice-president in charge
of sales, announced.
This compares with 25,786 units sold
during the same month last year and
9,403 in February, 1927, Mr. Tracy
stated. It also shows an increase of
more than fifty per cent over the out-
put in January of this year.
Current production schedules point
to a new all-time monthly record dur-
ing March in view of the popular fa-
vor which the new Oakland All-Am-
erican Six and the new Pontiac Bix
Six are enjoying. Mr. Tracy declared.
February came close to achieving this
end, the record month having been
June, 1928, with a total output of
29,477 cars.
Production faclilities of the com-
i pany are now keyed to peak capacity,
two Oakland assembly lines and three
Pontiac lines turning out finished cars
at the highest speed consistent with
precision manfacturing methods. To
keep production abreast of the public
demand, seven
ions in the
plant at Pontiac,
on day and night
nounced. £
