Music School Closes
The people of Crosbyton regret
very much that Miss May Oxford
who has been teaching music in
Crosbyton, has seen tit to close
her school and leave us. Miss
May is an accomplished young
lady and has made a host of
friends here. She has so con-
ducted her class as to make for
her many a life time friend. The
young ladies and girls who have
been permitted to take music
under her instructions have made
great progress and it is too bad
that she has been called away.
Music is an esential feature of
our high schools and should not
be snubbed by any, but should
be supported and appreciated by
all. We join the many friends
of Miss May in wishing her a
grand success in the future.

Crosbyton School Building
It was our good -luck to visit
the school building Tuesday and
we find a dozen mechanics hard
at work. The blocks have all
been laid the plaster laths are
being put on as fast as possible
and ten carpenters are at Work
on the roof. It is said that in
something like forty-five days
the building will be in readiness
for use. This is good news to all
who are interested in Crosbyton
and we all certainly feel proud
of our school. This building is
one of the finest in all the coun-
try and would do for any city to
boast of. Nothing is too good
for Crosbyton and her people and
we must say we have a com-
munity of the most enterprising
peoDle on the great south plains.
We are impressing the home
seeker and when they come our
way they are sure to remember
Crosbyton. Wp realize that the
educational facilities of any
town mean much and it's a
sure thing that we can make
good on that score.
Trip to Hale Center
Tuesday of last week ye Editor
in company with J. C. Johnson
left Crosby via "Big Six" to
Lubbock where we caught the
north bound Santa Fe for Hale
Center, where we spent Tuesday
and Wednesday attending the
Federation of Commercial Clubs
and Newspapermen of the Plains.
We arrived at Hale Center in
time to take dinner, and were
driven by Mr. Lemmon, in his
fine auto, to the Hotel where we
were served in a way to satisfy
the wants of the inner man.
After dinner we visited every
business establishment in the
city and must say we never met
a more hospitable people than
we met in Hale Center. Joe was
as busy as a bee distributing
Crosbyton booklets, while the
writer was warming up to the
yari&us delegates and getting
next to what was in store for us.

Parent* All OJver Country Besiege
New Department of Clark Uni-
versity for Information.
Worcester, Mass:—Secretary Henry
S. Curtis of the "Child Conference for
Research and Welfare" instituted at.
Clark university as the first depart-
ment of Its kind in this country, Is
flooded with Inquiries from parents
in all parts of the country who desire
to have their children examined by
the new methods.
The purpose is to gather statistics
as to the best methods of promoting
the health, happiness and welfare of
children and form child-welfare organ-
izations. The endeavor &1bo will be
to determine in what points children
are weakest morally or physically.
The head of the department, direct-
ly under Dr. O. Stanley Hall, president
f Clark university, is Dr. Curtis, for-
lerly' of Washington, who has been
engaged all his life in child welfare
work. Already letters have been re-
ceived from 900 parents who desire,
measurements made of their children
to determine moral and physical de-
fects.
The department has not been long
enough organized to show results, and
It Is not definitely known how it is to
be received by the child-welfare or-
ganizations of the country, but from
the number of letters received lately
concerning it, Dr. Curtis thinks it will
leap Into popularity at once.
Parents who have children with
physical or moral defeotB may have
them examined. Those who fear to
pass them into the hands of scientists
need only consult with the head of
the department of experimental dietet-
ic*.
It is planned to have every depart-
ment so well organized that every
question pertaining to the child can
be adequately answered.
"The chief purpose of the organiza-
tion," said Dr. Curtis, "is to correlate
the work of child welfare'institutions
and especially to provide all workers
In these various fields who desire it
with the latest results of scientific
child study that bear upon their work.
One of the most valuable features of
the work will be to provide parents,
teachers and others who have the re-
sponsibility of the care of children
with the results of the scientific study
of ohildren."
Horse Likes Pie.
Columbus, Ind.—Because of his
fondness for pie one of the delivery
horses for the Geilker bakery here
has been named Pieface. The ani-
mal got the pie habit from being fed
bits of pie at intervals by his driver.
The habit has grown on him to the ex-
tent that he now refuses to start on
the regular deliveries until he has
had his pte and he gulps down a half
one at a bite. The animal shows a
preference for mine, yet, if necessary,
he will eat any sort.
