In quoting from Mr. Harwood's re
marks ~ FL PasO az the late annua
conference. Where he speaks Of the pc
cent of llltorlcy coming down and tn
: per cent Of English speaking going az
he meant 10 say, that IN his opinion, S
per cent Of the people In New Mexic
can now speak English instead OF
per cent. He says as he remembers Il
hardly one In ten OF the Mexican me
. 30 years ago could speak English an
hardly one In a hundred OF the wome
and children. He thinks he had a pref
~ good chance 10 know, as he had traY
eled 10000 miles In the interest Of HI
missionary work, before the advent Z
the railroads, generally, with his ow
conveyance. Now he finds that near
!, all Of the men and many OF the wome
speak some English, ana most Of N
~ children, except In the out OF The va
places, where there are no publ
schools, speak pretty good Englis
ey These are hopeful signs and ought
encourage statehood.
