A PROFITABLE INSTITUTE.

The Teachers Institute held In the
High school room in this CT, on last
Friday and Saturday WAS successful
beyond expectations, both IN point OF
attendance Of teachers and earnest
ness of the work. The summer school
and the teachers institute have come
to stay. The progressive teacher
recognizes their value IN the work of
popular education. Teachers who
would keep abreast with the times will
avail themselves Of the privllt g-s and
benefits which such schools and lnsti-
tutes offer. The large N trndai ca dur
ing the sessions OF the institute last
week Is evidence Of the fact that Iowa
county Possesses her fun share OF pro-
gressive teachers, and all were well
repaid for the Two days time gwen TO
the work. The institute WAS ~ der
the direction OF Miss Emma Under.

schools, who has proven herself to be
an enthusiastic school worker. The
exercises were conducted by Prof.

At the close of the institute, Prin-

would be glad to assist in furthering
efforts on the part of the teachers in
the direction Of forming u county
association.

DIR. CHALMERS LECTURE.

|
The lecture of DR.. Chalmers in the
F. Nj. lecture hall, on Friday evening
was interesting and highly Instructive.
His subject was " The luiu"ncr of the
Bible upon English Literature. The
Bible. the speaker SAID, is what has
mat" England; her literature; her
laws; her general life. The reason
why the coming Of the Monks to Eng
land in 500 il so important an event
in English history and in the worlds
advance, is because those Monks
brought the Bible with them Ii VS.
the foundation of English libraries
and English literature. 1t set ut work
moral and spiritual forces which trans
formed the peoples thought and life.

The Potatoes Genesis Unsolved.


The early nalnralIsts differed greatly
rs to the origin of the potato, writes
John Gilmer Speed in November's
Ladies' Home Journal, In England It
WAS held to be native of Virginia,
and in Spain it was said to have org
mated in Peru. Modern opinion holds
that it is Indigenous to the elevated
tablelands of Chill, Peru, Bolivia,
Costa Rica, Mexico and southwestern
United States. 1t probably got To
Virginia by the hands of some early
Spanish explorers. 1t is certain how.
ever. that 1t was not cultivated in Nlr-
GINA till far into the eighteenth cen
fury, and then it was introduced into
the American colonies on account of
the esteem in which it was held in
Europe.

ON BROAD LINES,

The fact that the New Mexico delega-
ton to the national irrigation congress
refused to permit its chairman to cast a
solid vote for Phoenix, as the next point
for holding the convention one year
hence, in no wise means any antagonism
to Arizona or to Phoenix. Those dele
gates who insisted on Lincoln or some
other point east of the Rockies as the
proper place for the next convention con-
tended, and with much good reason, that the
broadcast possible lines should be fol-
lowed in pushing this great national pro-
ject of irrigation. They held that the
Rocky mountain region, which has SO
much at stake in this undertaking to make
irrigation part aud parcel of our national
policy, could we'll afford to be magnan-
imous, and that if the management we're
narrowed down to mere local phase it
would cripple the whole west in that it
would create dissensions among our own
people and weaken our hold upon that
broad sentiment covering everything
west of the Missouri valley upon the
united strength Of which we must depend
for success. Another year we hope to see
all semblance of this disposition to local
ize and narrow the work of this national
convention entirely eliminated and trust
that the convention for the following
year will be pushed eastward as far as
practicable in the direction of the center
of western population.

THE NEW MEXICAN regrets exceedingly
that the Albuquerque Citizen should feel
80 very sore over the fact that the dele
gates to the national irrigation congress
insisted on carrying out the original
program as laid down by the executive
committee. The Citizen resorted to very
selfish and unjust methods in endeavor-
ing to prevent the delegates from visit
ing Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Eddy and Ros-
we'll, yet nevertheless the excursion was
all that it promised to be from the start,
and the result is that rare practical obj
lessons have been shown and are now be-
ing shown the delegates and their friends.
This excursion will prove of great benefit
to the cause of irrigation generally, and
will help all New Mexico-thereby carry
ing out the original intention of the dele
gates from the territory who last year
worked so earnestly to have the conven-
tion held at Albuquerque.

extraordinary among newspapers printed
in the Atlantic states.
On Friday about one and half mil
lions of notes were redeemed, says the
Journal, cutting the reserve down con-
siderably below the hundred million line.
The law only requires such a coin reserve
as the secretary of the treasury deems
safe one to provide for note redemption
at all times. Because when John Sherman
was secretary of the treasury he fixed the
amount at $lOO,00O,0OO, it does not follow
that his successors must all be governed
by his decision. Matters would be much
simplifed if the secretary would announce
that the treasury will at all times redeem
in coin, as heretofore; that he will be his
own judge as to the amount necessary to
be kept on hand for that purpose; that
no particular sum will, as heretofore, be
rigidly fixed as the minimum, but that it
will vary with the varying requirements;
and, finally, that the gold transactions of
the treasury will cease to be given ont for
publication from day to day.
Nothing makes man hypochondriac
so surely as to be always counting his
pulse and taking his Temperature. 1t is
time for the business community to be
saved from the unwholesome policy of
the treasury department of publicly stat
ing it's petty transactions of note redemp-
ton, and alarming the public with the
assurances that it is hustling around every
day to borrow enough to keep the gold
reserve up to the $1oO,0Oo,o00 line.

IT seemed to be the unanimous senti-

that seeing New Mexico without visiting

feature Of the program had been omitted.
