Flow in the Rio Grande in 1541.

Sometimes "au cient history has q
practical modern application and have
been good deal surprised that some
of the astute lawyers connected with
litigation as to dams or water-rights,
which involve the natural flow of the
Rio Grande, have not used tho situa
tion three aud half centuries ago in
their arguments. At that time only
the water necessary for irrigation at
the pueblo towns, stretching from the
Espanola valley to the vicinity Of
SOcorrO, was being artifically taken
from the river. Yet when Doa Tristan
de Arellano sent an expedition to ex-
plore the Rio Graude to the southwest
Of Tihuex (near Bernalillo) in 1541, it
proceeded eighty.leagues "until it was
found that the water sank into tn
earth like the Guadiana in Els
temadura." AS we would say, the
river event dry" at that point. Eighty
of these leagues are about 208 of our
miles, which in straight line would
take one to Las Cruces; but az
they followed the windings of the
river, it is probable that point reached
| was near San Antonio, as they report
ed finding four large villages, whis
must have been there. This was In
tho latter part of July, so that we find
the condition in that remote time to
have been not very different from
that which sometimes prevails in our
day. L. BRADFORD PRINCE.

interesting reading:

Barnard, the Educator.

Henry Barnard, who is known to ed
ucational circles the world over as the
Father of American education" was
eightyse ven years old yesterday, and
event was cele brated in the afternoon
With appropriate exercises at the state
house followed by a banquet. There
were host of callers at the Barnard
homestead and many congratulations
also came by mail and wire.
No living man has cone more for
education in the United States than
DR. Barnard. He ha. been responsible
for many of the reforms that have been
instituted in educational methods in
the states, and also for the organiza-
tion of the national department of edu-
benz fit to the educators Of the United
States. The improvement of the pub
lie schools has been his life work. He
began his educational career while q
member of the Connecticut legislature,
from 1887 to 1910. During bis term of
service he advocated many reforms in
the common school system. In 1912
and 1913 he visited, in the interest Of
education, every state in the union, ex
legislatures. The greatest claim of
DR.. Barnard to fame, however, is that
he brought about the organization of
the department of education. Before
1867, the United States COVER ment
had no concern with the education of
the people. DIR. Barnard bad some
years before, begun the agitation for
a national bureau of education,
and in 1867 James A. Carte i,
then a member of congress, introduce
ed bill which he suc' eeded in pass
ing largely through The efforts of Dr.
Barnard. President johnson appoint
ed DR.. Barnard commissioner of educa-
lion under the provisions of the new
law. Dr.. Barnard began writing on
educational topics as early as the year
1856, WI en- he commenced the publica-
ton of the american Journal Of
| Education" He also published q
number Of works on educational sub
jects. and in 1880 issued a collected
edition of bis works under the name
of THE Anne rican Library of Schools
and Educ ation.' DR.. Barnard has
seen and knows all presidents of
| the Uoi'ed States, except Washington,
John Adams and Jefferson Dr. Bar
nard graduated from Yale in 1850. He
| is still vigorous in mind and body
| His love for children is pronounced
and ma ifested itself years ago in the
| interest he took in the Froebel kinder
garten system. The sole American re-
| preventative at the educational con-
gress in London in 1854, DR.. Barnard
returned deeply imbued with the
Kindergarten idea. In 1856 he pub
lished an exhaustive article In an
American journal on "Froebel's system
of Infant Gardens" From then on he
worked hard to popularize the kinder
| garten system.
