ONE OF OUR FRIENDS asked us q
few days ago what we would write
about'when the high water passed
away, as he had noticed that the
GAZETTE had been filled for some
time with articles on the levees
and cognate matters. Our apol-
ogy was that the levees were as
important to our people as the
fortifcations of Il beleagured city,
and that while the common enemy
was laundering at our gates, the
public attention was absorbed by
the looking to our defenses, and
as the press reflects public opin-
ion, We had devoted much space
to the all-important subject.
Hereafter we will endeavor to en-
tertain our readers with other
matters.

TIE TRIALS OF TEACHERS.

is there any other class on which the
community makes demands 50 severe
as in case of teachers, public or pri-
vate? No physician is expected to
cure all his patients. There comes a
time when every one of them, no mat
ter how carefully tended, passes be-
yond his reach, No lawyer saves all
his clients; no clergyman or reViYalist
exhibits an unbroken phalanX of saints.
Yet the teacher, who constantly has to
compete with the influence of the
streets, often with that of the home, Is
expected in his five or six hours day
to accomplish more than all the sources
of evil can undo, and to bring out all
his pupils blameless and complete
soul body and grammar. Madame
Roland once defined marriage as an
institution where one person was eX-
pected to provide happiness for two;
but school is an institution where one
person is expected to provide joy,
peace and the multiplication table for
at least forty. Surely this is cruel re-
quirement. No maxim is more formid-
able than that German proverb,
brought home many years ago by Hor-
ace Mann, "As is the teacher, so is the
school," 1t would be quite as true to
say. "As are the parents, so is the
school," or, "As are the grandparents,
so is the school," since these relatives
created the brain-cells and the moral
fibre of each set of pupils, and the
teacher takes these ingredients and
makes the best he can of them.
Take the simple test of language. A
speaker of the United States House of
Representatives not now living once
said to me in his own sacred desk II
ought to have went to that lecture .
| He had been reared in the public
schools, and had all his life been editor,
| public speaker or office holder, yet with
this grammatical-or ungrammatical-
result. / have heard an eminent pro-
fessor Of English say to his own pupils
| in the recitation-room, many years
since, Il have spoke Of" These sins
against good grammatical morals do
not prove that these distinguished per-
sons had not attended good schools or
paid attention to the instruction; they
simply showed that other influences
had counterbalanced these. Probably
these influences We're in the home AS
a rule, the child of a well-taught moth
er, even if never going to school, will
speak better English than the child of
an ungrammaticalA mother, going to
school steadily up to the age of fifteen
Why, then, lay all the blame for errors
upon the unfortunate teacher?-Har-

The shell fish commission is some
what troubled concerning the decision

specific appropriations bills will be
passed. The commission is generally
unable to compute the amount neces

and a specific sum seems impossible in
making an estimate for expenses. A

commission, yesterday went to Hart
ford to present this aspect of the cast

here comparisons can much better be

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Representative Felipe Garcia does not
introduce many bills. He thinks he can
do more good, by watching legislation
and voting for good measures only. He's
all right.
Capt. Malaquias Martinez, representa-
tive from Taos, is paiustaking, careful
and attentive to his duties. He is very
popular with members and has quite an
influence in shaping legislation.
Representative Jacques is preparing a
bill regulating the running at large of
live stock in towns and villages. Bring
it in, Mr.. Jacques. In this city there IS an
ordinance controlling such things, but
city ordinances seem to be here to be
broken.
Representative Reynolds, of Socorro,
favors the bill by Major Llewellyn as to
public assays by the school of min es very
much and will aid it to passage. He
thinks the bill will aid mining in New
Mexico greatly.
The annual report for 1896 of the board
of directors of the Las Vegas insane
asylum has been distributed among mem.
bers of the assembly. 1t makes good
showing. But the directors will do we'll
to furnish the press of the territory with
copies. A hint to the wise is all that Is
necessary. and Judge Long is q wise man
in his generation.
