home yesterday afternooio AFT attend
ing the educational associE ION meeting
in this city. Professor Hadley has i'm
plicit faith in New Mexico and its fu-
ture prosperity. A decade ago he proph-
esied that from 1890 to 1900 New Mexico
would make greater strides forward in
educational matters than any other
commonwealth in the Union. He says
that the facts brought out by the dis
cussions at the educational association
meeting this yea and the statistics at
hand so far fully bear out his prophecy,
and he believes hat the census of 1900
will show a remarkable decrease of IL
literacy in New Mexico in the last ten
years. He speaks very highly of the
hospitality of Santa Fe to the visiting
| teachers, and said that at no other place
| where the association has met have
| they received such handsome treatment
as at Santa Fe.
Santa Fee people are delighted with
the pedagogues who spent several days
this week in the city, and most Of whom
left for their homes this forenoon. Those
Of the city's residents who have lived In
other states are unanimous in declar-
ing that the body of teachers which
gathered in the capital this week was
the equal, if not the superior, of amy
similar body of teachers that can be
found In any other commonwealth.
