TEACHING THE TEACHERS


than the most learned disquisition on
gold or silver.
81 have come to study with you;
not to teach. | want to study with
you the ever varying problem of con
ditions, and with you to seek to APP
ply the great pedagogic principle of
adaptation.
THE WORST TRADE.
Common education, the education
of all the people together is the means
to solve all the problems of the world
What | want that we shall do is to
study the problems of education and
of child life and adapt ourselves to
the growth of the child soul. Ours is
the one profession which embraces
all other professions and trades;
which would use the implements of
all others. 1t is the art of all arts.
Its object is the salvation of children
here on earth. And i'm this art as in
all art, the true principle is simplic-
ity. Ours is the worst trade and the
highest profession. The artisan of
teaching is the worst mechanic there
is. The artist of teaching is the high
est and truest artist.
TWO KINDS OF TEACHERS.
"There are two kinds of teachers
in the United States One of them is
the copyist, the imitator. He may
copy or initiate tradition or the new
est thing; but he is a mere copyist.
The other kind seeks to prove all
things, holding fast to that which is
! good. He is an eXperimentalst The
only things which are not expert
| ments are dead. lifeless. If we could
! imbibe the true principle of teaching,
every school would become an expert
mental station. The fathers and the
mothers of the school would be gath
cred and interested in the awakening
of interest i'm life and things about
them, in their children.
GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
1T is my hope in coming here to
pay small part of the debt the Unit
ed States owes to these Islands. From
here came to us one of pure life and
noble zeal, who in establishing the
Hampton school began a work which
will go on constantly broadening, and
deepening, to the benefit of the whole
world. | refer to General Armstrong;
NOlOlel IdTkeE duuGeSS CLOSED the
opening exercises. There was a short
intermission and then the work of
the school was taken up.
ORGANIZING.
Miss Allen made few remarks eX.
planatory of her kindergarten lessons
and inviting those interested in such
work to be present.
Mrs. Parker gave an Introductory
lecture on the voice, Indicating the
lines along which she would proceed
The mornings work was concluded
by Colonel Parker, who began 10y
making experiments in psychology, a,
a basis for his future lectures.
The principal lecturers have decid
eddy made a good impression on the
. audience.
The classes will be organized in the
High School this afternoon at
o'clock.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Newsy Notes Picked Up by the Man About
TOwn-POlitics Attracting Attention.

AoWu 1OlltlCS httIhCbluS hVuoutAVA'
l hear from Las Vegas that the name
of Mr.. w. c. Reid, a well known and
popular young attorney of the Meadow
city, is being mentioned for the Repub-
lican nomination as a candidate for
member of the house of representatives
of the Thirty-third assembly, and meets
with much favor. Well, it ought to.
Mr.. Reid is a superior young man and
would acquit himself to the satisfaction
of all concerned If elected.
An appointment of a new postmaster
at Roswell, the thriving capital of Cha
YES county, is expected at an early date,
the time of the present incumbent hav-
ing expired. The solid citizens and the
good Republicans of Roswell are strong
for j. B. Mathews for this appointment
and his selection would give great
satisfaction to the best people OF that
town.
Word comes from Chaves county that
either Hon. J. F. Hinkle or Hon. G. A.
Richardson will receive the Democratic
nomination for member of the legislative
council in the ninth district. These
gentlemen have had much experience
in legislative matters, and either nOmi-
nation, from a Democratic standpoint,
would be excellent. The district has
heretofore been strongly Democratic
and a nomination was equivalent to an
election. What the future will bring
forth, quien sabe?
There is a bunco game being put up
by certain alleged Republican politicians
in Las Vegas and Albuquerque. But
| the game is known and will not win, in
deed it will only hurt the fellows who
are in It. They are we'll known and
their plans are known and these little
chicks will come home to roOst in a few
months.
l notice that John S. Clsrk's appoint
ment as territorial coal oil inspector
| gives much satisfaction to the people,.
regardless Of politics. 1t pays to be
honest and to stand by ones friends
These are characteristics of Mr.. Clark
u II 4
l am informed, that Thomas A. Hub
bell, the present efficient sheriff OF Ber-
nalillo county, will be a candidate for
denomination and reelection on the Re.
publican ticket. Allindications point,
that he will get there.

Hon. Malaquias Marines, who rep
resented Taos county in the Thirty-sec
ond legislative assembly, ably, credit
ably and we'll, is being mentioned by hi
many friends for nomination as a candi
date for member of the house OF thu
next assembly. Taos county could dt
no better, than by renominating and re
electing Mr.. Martinez. .

No Money in Guadalupe

Advices from Gaudaloupe, the French
possession in the West Indies, report the
existence of a financial crisis on the is
land. The Bank of Guadalupe owes
so large a sum, about 100000 francs, tc
it's French correspondent the Compton
d'Escompte, that its credit is nearly ex.
hausted and it can get hardly any
drafts through. The result Is that the
local merchants are unable to obtain the
supply of goods necessary for their
trade, and unless some remedy is soor
found the situation will become most
serious.
Gold and silver coin have practically
disappeared and even sous are becoming
scarce. The only medium of exchange
is the local bank notes, which are, how
ever, of no value outside the island
One singular difficulty raised by the con.
dition of affairs Is that no one can leave
the island for long journey, owing to
1t being almost impossibly to raise
enough money to pay the fare. The
trouble is all primarily owing to the
failure of sugar prices and a disease
