THE NEW N0RMALSCHOOL
The First Session Opened Last Mon
day Morning.
The First Normal School I'm New Mexico
Opens Under the Most Auspi-
ciOus Circumstances.


Last Monday morning about fifty OF
the citizens OF Silver City assembled at
the Presbyterian church to witness the
opening exercises OF the new normal
school. About forty of the pupils who
will attend the school were in attend
ance at 10 o'clock, the hour fixed for the
opening exercises. They were seated in
the main audience room of the church
while the visitors were accommodated
with seats in the wing.
Mayor Fleming presided and at few
minutes after ten he arose and announced
that the exercises would be opened with
prayer by Rev. Fitch. After PRAYER
there was music. Mrs. Shelby played the
piano and eight or ten young ladies sang
Mayor Fleming then introduced Hon.
W. &. Ritch, a member of the board OF
regents OF the normal school, who spoke
in part as follows:
Mr. President and Fellow Citizens:
Education, as known to the American
public school system, has been mainly
the outgrowth of the century in which
we live. 1t is creation that was made
possible under freedom as known to our
government; was indeed made an essen
tial because of its being necessary to an
intelligent and stable government, OF the
people, by and forthe. people.
Prior to this century, education was
almost exclusively The business OF the
church.NI 1t was largely confined to the
priests and monks and representatives
OF the religious orders. . They stood at
the head OF the great educational institu-
tions Of the world OF that period, aud as
sumed that it SaasJhessole and exclusive
business OF the chnrch to educate, inhu-
ence and control mankind. trhe iacil-
ties were limited and expensive and
learning was, Confined to the wealthy
few. ~
Such was the marked condition in
Europe at the date OF the settlement OF
the Americans Continent, and OF the
founding OF thegyeat republic.
New MexicotYith the rest OF Spanish
America, inhefd whatever educational
resources she ai&, possessed, until quite
9 A

and public sentiment became educated
up to the public school idea, that gen.
eral Law was enacted worthy of the
name, and under which the school sys-
TEN of the territory took on anything
like Il satisfactory character and pro-
portions. This law has since been
amended and revised and during the
past few years the territory has come to
the front with a school system that
compares favorably with the country at
large.
One OF the great drawbacks has been
the want OF competent teachers versed
in modern methods.
Thus, having given you brief history
OF education and OF public schools as
known to New Mexico, we come to the
act OF the 30th legislative assembly,
which became law Feb. II, 1898, max
ing modest appropriations and author
izing the establishment OF two normal
schools one at Las Vegas and one here
at Silver City, and in honor of which
we are assembled today, to give formal
emphasis to the opening OF the first
normal school to be established in the
territory. ! trust, that Monday, the
third day OF September, 1894 will mark
the beginning OF an era in the rise and
progress OF the normal school and by
parity OF reasoning the public schools OF
the territory, which will result in their
becoming equal to the best on the con-
tinent.
OF the splendid site and campus NJ the
normal school donated by Silver City,
the letting of the contract for the cree
ton OF the school bl ilding and the Sc
lection OF the faculty, by the board OF
regents, you are all more or less famil-
lar.
The thanks of the regents are due, and
on their behalf make this the occasion
tor expressing pubic acknowledgements
to the Presbyterian society OF this
church, ior their kindly and generous
tender OF the use OF this building rent
free, and which has enabled the board
to open and maintain the normal school
from the beginning OF the school year.
OF the necessity for the normal school,
it goes without saying, when we consider
for moment the fact that the old states
such rs Massachusetts, New York and
Ohio, not to mention Indiana, WiScon-
sin and Kansas, have each among many
others long since, established the nor
NAL school as prime necessity at IN
expense OF hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars, and all of which has since been

recently, from the educational systems
and methods brought to the country by
the Franciscan and Dominican friars.
At the date of the American occupa
ton in 1916, or thereabouts, there were
Il few church schools in the territory, OF
which those OF Vicar Martinez at Taos
and Father Leyva at San Miguel, are
still kindly remembered by the older
Mexican population.
Subquently came the Christian broth
crs, the sisters OF Loretta and the sisters
OF mercy, under whom considerable
number OF schools were established in
the territory. There were likewise es-
tablished from time to time during the
earlier days OF American occupancy, En-
glish schools, al Santa Fe, Taos Las
Vegas, Tiptonville, Laguna and else
where variously under Presbyterians,
Methodists and Baptists. Subsequently
came the Congregatonalists, with acade-
mic schools at Santa Fe, Las Vegas and
Albuquerque
The first attempt to establish Ameri-
can public schools by law, supported by
direct taxation, was in 1873. A few
schools were started under the law, but
owing to the small amount OF money
available, but little was accomplished.
Some OF the schools located in English
speaking localities were more or less as
sisted by private subscription, and thus
maintained precarious existence.
In 1876 carefully prepared school bill,
with liberal financial provisions, was in
troduced in the legislative assembly of
that year, which passed the council to
4 but was defeated in the house II to 10,
two members not voting, who would have
voted for the bill, ii by so doing their
votes would have secured the passage OF
the bill. The bill was non-sectarian in
character and encountered the active
hostility OF the Jesuits.
A similar late overlook similar school
bills introduced in 1873 and 1880 respect
lively.
In the meantime, it is worthy OF note
that Silver City secured the enactment
of IL law authorizing an independent
school district, with authority to levy Il
sufficient tax for its support; and thus
was established, in this city, the first
American public school that could COM
mand II sut,icency OF public money for
its maintenance.
1t was not until 1891, after railroads
had crossed and recrossed the territory
and brought new blood and new people,

"He walked down the road and went
into one or two liquor-shops, staying
for nearly half an hour in the last of

streets, until, to my establishment, we
found ourselves back in the terrace in
which he had boarded. I could not
imagine what his intention was in re-
turning there; but I went on and
pulled up my cab a hundred yards or
so from the house. lie entered IL and
his Hanson drove away. Give me a
glass of water, il you please. My
mouth gets dry with the talking"
! handed him the glass and he drank
IL down.
That's better" he said. "Wcl,, I
waited for u quarter Of an hour or
more. when suddenly there came a
noise like people struggling inside the
house. Next moment the door was
flung open and two men appeared, one
of whom was Drcbber, and the other
was a young chap whom ! had never
seen before. This fellow had Drcbbcr
by the collar, and when they came to
the head of the steps he gave him n
shove and u kick which sent him half
across the road. You hound. he cried,
shaking his stick at him; I'll teach you

hot that I think he would have

that the cur staggered awaydown the
