LAS PADlLLAS MODERNIZED
REV. JOHN MoRoY VISITS PUBLIC
SCHOOL AT LAS PADlLLAS.

The efforts of Superintendent Stroup
to modernize the schools of Bernalillo
county are meeting with hearty appro-
val where 1t might be least expected.
The writer was present at the OPEN
ing of the public school at Las Pa
dillas last week and was informed
that an entire change was introduced
in the course of instruction.
Heretofore all the books used we're
In the Spanish language and English
was practically never heard in the
school room.
Now an American teacher begins
her work with books printed in Eng
lish. The writer attempted to apollo
giZe for the present teacher to one of
the directors, on account of the fact
that she did not speak Spanish as we'll
as the former teachers.
The director expressed his entire
satisfaction, saying that their children
would now get a cnance to learn Eng
lish.
The average native is as anxious,
p~erhaps-more anxious than any other
man that English should be the only
language used in the public school,
and il the legislature should pass a
law requiring every candidate for
county superintendent to be a grad
uate from some reputable institution
which gives a good English educa-
ton, it would meet with no opposition
from the natives except from political
bosses who are determined to hold on
to positions for which they have no
qualification.

you l wanted to give the youngster

which enabled him to make three
hits.
Il never saw a kid whose head be-
came so inflated In a short time as
this youngster. When he stepped to
the plate for the fourth time ne had a
naughty air, which was Just as much
as to say, Il am the whole show. You
will have to take off your hat to me-
"The first bali the pitcher sent up
was a trifle wide, as l afterward
knew, but | called it a strike. The
kid looked at me, but did not say a
word. The next ball was a little bet
ter, but not quite good enough to be
called a strike, and | called One ball
This gave the youngster a chance,
and he said, very impresslvely: The
other me was in the same place. All

DECLARES THE BOSSES WILL CONE BACK TO THEIR OWN.

II Cox in Cincinnati had been hon.
est he could not have been beaten.
| know nothing about the facts, but
the result plainly shows that there
was dishonesty somewhere.
An honest boss is never beaten.
He cannot be beaten as long as the
people have confidence I'm him, and
they will only lose confidence in him
after he has proven his dishonesty,
by giving them the "double-cross."
1t was the same way in New York.
Certain democratic leaders, who as
pired to be bosses, tried to organize
a Tammany in st. Louis several years
ago. | told them they were fools to
undertake such a thing. A Tammany
can be successful only where there
are masses of ignorant voters who are
willing to he led around like bulls
with rings in their noses. The people
Of New York are evidently becoming
more intelligent, and the revolt
against bossism is the natural conse-
quence of dishonest bossism. Now
Dick Croker, | think, was fairly hon
est, but do not recall any present
day boss who is honest. However,
am out of politics now, and don't keep
close track of the leaders.
When | was in politics, I never de-
ceived a man. Everybody knew where
| stood. | did not do much bossing-
In fact, | let the other fellows do most
of that, but / gave advice where it
was needed, and took it too. l never
asked a candidate for money for the
campaign, but | did ask it from people
on the outside. The poor candidate
who is elected isn't well enough paid
to spend his money running for Of
flee.
The boss who is out for the coin
will soon be found out and dethroned.
Why, know bosses who made $50 900
or 6 $4,000 a year. But they are not
bosses now. and they won't be any
more. The people found them out and
turned them out.
| account for the prevalence of dis
