About las sa5ed 20 help ill up his
column in til e HERALD! And all about
4 poor little heather Chlnee, who
wishes to go to the public school. In
the first place, ii dues not lock as
though the school board was in any
quandary at all, and in the second
place, Chiuamen never have been al
lowed to attend the public schools, for
the very simple reason that they have
40 RICH there. Again, will the afore-
said Round About" explain what he
understands by white" schools. 1t is
generally understood that Mexicans
belong TO the "white' or Caucasian
race aud if the majority Of people are
in error. they would probably like to
kLow it. 1t is very doubtful whether
the negro is superior in intelligence to
the Cninaman, but those watching the
progress The Mexicans are making in
the public schools would like TO see
a class of them pitted against q class of
the same grades OF negroes, in order to
prove where Wing Lees offspring be-
Onged. If some of the Mexican women
fall low enough to inter-marry with
The Chinese, their lack of educational
ADVANTAGE may be pleaded in exteoua-
tiOn, but that is no reason why the
teachers of AOy school should have q
Chinaman "fUieted" UPON tc en-. They
as the teachers of the white" schools,
as ''Round About" dubs them.
Round About, if he has done nothing
else, mas caused an important matter to
De brought before the notice of the
public, but in reference to "White
Mexican's" question as 10 what he
understands by white schools he
will state thaJ he used the common
term as applied to the schools, as the
term Mexican schools is applied to the
Aoy school. TECHNICALLY he admits be
VAS wrong, but commonly speaking
ne is right. He is just as much right
toe term Aoy school to the Mexican
public school. Now lets go back to
the Chinaman. Round About is glad
TO know that the Mexican publ
achoot does not want q Chin amsn foist-
cd upoo Them. He is glad to know
nat White Mexican does not
.orse the intermarrying of the
women of his race with Cinnamon.
rhe Cinnamon of Ell Paso are becom-
,pg little fresh and it is we'll for the
public to look into the moral and soc; al

stand on the streets and make remarks
about passing girls-both Americans
aad Mexicano. If he rece ives mott"
from the girls he will push the case
iurther with all the patients and
shrew dness for which his race is noted.
de knows that his attentions will not
be recognized by pure girl OF either
race, but he will set to work by his
shrewdness to try and compromise her
aud then his game is won, because
III ither an American nor Mexican
nan nor woman will have anything
turti er to DO with q woman that has
lowed herself to become compromis ed
With a Chiuamsn. This is why due
warning has been given the school
board about where they will place the
Chinese boy If he should be allowed to
attend the public school In some
cas- es association drives away coutemp pit,
and no American or Mexican wcu Il
want his daughter at school to lose the
contempt she was tau light to hold for 8
Chinaman as suitable associate.
Ell Paso is in fer it this week with
chestrical attractions, and what's
more, every one of them are of the
nigh grade order. The Tennessee
