Congressional.

WASHINGTON, February 27.-At the
opening OF the Senate to-day, Rev
Milburn, in a prayer made an eloquent
reference to the death Of Mr.. Shank
lin, 4 veteran employe.
\. breeze was caused by the intro.
duction OF of n resolution authorizing
the Committee on Coast Dcfenses TO
visit places requiring coast defenses
and to send for papers, persons. etc.
Cockrell thought that the resolution
was very broad in allowing the com
mittee to take u tour around the coun-
try. Squire, Chairman of the Com
mittec, said that the only visit con-
templated vas to Sandy Hook. He
consented to a modification of the res.
~olution so that the committees trip
be limited to the d~efenses OF New
York City. 1t was adopted i'll this
form. Proctor then addressed the
Senate ON coast d~efcnses, claiming
that it would be better and cheaper
to provide land Notifications than to
build a navy equal to that OF Great
Britain.
The House Committee Oh Foreign
Affairs after Il warm session lasting
two hours reported the following con-
current resolutions on Cuban affairs.
The report Of the committee was loud
ly applauded in the House:
Resoired, by the House OF Repre-.
sentatives, the Senate concurrlng, that
i'll the opinion OF Congress a state of
public war is existing in Cuba, the
parties to which are entitled to bellig.
ercnt rights, and the United States
should observe a strict neutrality be.

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-04-11

The suggestion that live and enlight-
ened public sentiment and a capable and
conscientious corps of teachers are prin-
arily and chiefly essential to good schools
covers good deal of ground and affords
much food for thought. Given these
essential factors and the satisfactory So
luton of the educational problem is only
a question of short time. The third
factor, bright children with readily recep-
tive minds, is present in every community,
simply needing the helpful and inspiring
influence of parents and teachers to yield
the best results. If the schools fail TO
bear good fruit the fault must be sought
and remedied in the parents and the teach
ers rather than In the children.
Mr.. Brodie's advocacy of the kinder
garten as feeder to the schools is in line
with the views often expressed in these
columns and meets our earnest approba-
ton. We sincerely believe in the modern
kindergarten; that its methods are unsur-
passed for naturally and pleasantly i'm
parting knowledge to very young minds
as preparation for the tasks that come
with the text books; that its simple and
vivid object lessons are especially adapt
ed to the primary schools of New Mexico,
where many of the children are of Span
ish origin and are more accustomed to
that language than to English. BY all
means let us have the kindergarten added
to the schools of Santa Fe.
Since the board of education has de-
finitely decided to reject Delegate Cat
ron's extraordinary proposition, as one
of the three bondsmen of the Republican
defaulting ex-school treasurer, to COM
promise the $4,000 shortage on the basis
of mis- paying third of one-half of the
amount, it being we'll known that the
other two bondsmen are insolvent, and
to press the suit against Mr.. Catron at
the present term of the district court for
the amount legitimately due on the bond,
the prospect is that the school treasury
will before long be restored to something
like its normal con iition. IF even half
or two-thirds of the $4,000 embezzled by
Mondragon were recovered from the
bondsnen, by practicing businesslike
economy and prudence the schools of
Santa Fe ,ould quickly be placed In a
healthy and prosperous condition and
thus made fully to meet the imperative
needs of this community.
