PRESIDENT TAKES ACTION
Issues Proclamation Creating
Reservation Sixty Feet
Wide Along Line.

Washington, May 30,-President
Roosevelt has issued proclamation
creating a reservation sixty feet wide
along the northern border of Mexico,
including the state of California and
the Territories of Arizona and New
Mexico. The purpose of this reserva-
tion is declared in the presidential
proclamation to be to aid in the sup
preston of smuggling across the in
ternational line
Private entries in the line of the
projected reservation and such por-
tons of it as are needed for roads are
reserved from the operations ordered.
Since the abolition of the old "Zona
Libre,' or free zone, between Mexico
and the United States. it has been
found increasingly difficult to prevent
smuggling across the boundary, hence
this order.

Scarcity of Flowers

BUSINESS IS SUSPENDED
Afternoon Program to Be

Old Jupiter Pluvius seems bent on
doing little celebrating on his own
account this Memorial Day. From
early morning the sky has been over
cast with ominous looking clouds
which completely obscured the sun,
and, according to the press dispatches,
threatening weather is prevailing all
over the United States.
In Santa Fe this morning the unfa-
vorable aspect of the weather did not
interfere to any great extent with the
final preparations for the observance
of the day set for the honoring OF the
nations fallen heroes. The Memorial
program will be carried out this after
noon as planned unless prevented by
rain, despite the already muddy con-
dition Of the streets as result OF
showers during the night.
Business Generally Suspended.
Memorial Day is being generally OBJ
served this year in Santa Fe. The
Capitol building is practically de-
serted, all of the Offices being closed
Most of the other public buildings are
also closed for the day The banks in
accordance with their custom did not
open their doors for business this
morning and most of the stores and
other business houses closed at noon
that employers and employees might
have a half holiday. Sunday hours
were observed at the postoffice, in ad
dition one delivery of mail being made
in the forenoon.

college, II has never been the
means of putting a dollar III his
pocket. Let us have a public
school curriculum framed with the
object of securing the greatest
good to the greatest number.
Manual training and agriculture
have been successfully introduced
into a number OF the public schools
with such satisfactory results that
the number OF such schools is in
creasing every year, and we hope
TO see the time when every boy and
girl in Texas will have the oppor-
tunity TO learn some trade or oc-
cupation by means OF which he or
she will be able 10 secure a home
and earn an honest living. But
there are yet too many OF the
public schools that attempt TO
teach so many things that nothing
is learned thoroughly, not even
reading and elementary arithmetic.
After the young student has &C
quired in the public schools a
thorough knowledge of the English
language including the ability to
read and write il correctly and a
knowledge of practical mathe-
mates and the elements of such
sciences asgeography and physiol-
ogy, if he desires more liberal ed
ucation, the high schools, colleges
and universities offer unlimited OPP
portunities to pursue, under the
guidance of skilled instructors,
each of whom is a specialist in
his particular line, any course OF
study for which he may have de-
veloped a fondness or a fitness.
With the relations between Our va
rious educational institutions prop
erly adjusted they would together
form a perfect system and no one
of them would encroach upon the
domain of any other.

SCHOOLS.

1t is a hopeful sign OF the times
that educators, newspapers ana
the public are becoming more and
more interested in industrial train
ing. A few days ago the writer
of this had a conversation with an
eminent lawyer, man OF ample
means, whose eldest son, a gradu-
ate of A. and NJ. College, is an en-
thusiastic and successful farmer.
His second son will finish the
courses in civil and mechanical
engineering in another year, and
the third son will enter the college
at the opening of the next term.
After a thorough investigation he
is of the opinion that the A. and
II. offers the best advantages for
Texas boys to be found any where.
But he has an only daughter, a
handsome and intelligent girl OF
fifteen, and he has not yet found
school where she will receive the
kind of training he thinks a girl
should have. He wishes her 10

and housekeeper. Where is the
wise teacher who will impart to
her this knowledge and training'
One of the wealthiest of the
cattlemen in the Alpine country,
himself a graduate OF a state uni
versity, recently expressed similar
views in regard to the education OF
his two young daughters. In fact,
people everywhere are becoming
convinced that, in the public
schools all impractical features of
the curriculum must be eliminated F,
and that our sous and daughters |
must have the instruction and /.
training that will best fit them ,
for the duties aud responsibilities
of life as it is. For instance, the ,

Supt. Lawson and Prof. Kin

Repairs of crack in the wall of
the west side school, caused by a
drain pipe being covered up by the
grading of the yard, are i'll pro-

made in the East Side school, suf-

the idea, the Eagle understands, of
making extensive improvements
aud the installation OF a heating
system next year.
