BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS
And Decides That the City's Public
Schools Shall Be Opened on
Monday, Sept. z.

The following has been hand
ed to the Chieftaiu with a re-
quest for its publications:
The Board of Education of
this city held its regular meet
ing last Monday night, at which
time it was decided to open the
public schools on the first Mon
day of September.
Several matters of interest
were discussed at the meeting,
and among them was that of Sc
curing a prompt and regular at
tendance of every pupil in the
district from the very first.
1t was suggested that pupils
failing to enter at the opening
of school should not be admitted
until the latter half of the year.
Whether this is a fair PROPOSE
tion or not, it is certainly unfair
to the best interest of the school,
to the progress of the pupil, and
to the advantage Of the teacher,
to have pupils entering Irregular
ly.
The prospects for good
school year were never brighter,
and the several members present
on Monday night expressed de-
cided interest in doing the very
best for the schools. They join
heartily with the teachers in ask
ing the patrons to cooperate with
them, not only in the matter of
attendance, but in the general
interest of the schools during the
coming year. emember, Sep

IN THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE
Judge Green Very Busy Monday I'm
posing Penance upon Violators
of the Law.

Judge Amos T.. Green's court
presented very busy scene
Monday. An unusual number
of violators of the law and order
of the community we're brought
into court and His Honor inn
posed penance upon each of
them as suited his particular sill
in a business like manner born of
long experience.
Daniel Molina was accused of
having committed assault and
battery. There was abundant
evidence of his guilt and for
the too free use of his fists Mo
lima was assigned to the road
gang for five days and was also
allowed the blessed privilege of
paying the costs of his prosecu-
tion.
Vidal Gonzales was committed
to the county bastile for thirty
days meditation over the crime
of indecent exposure of his per-
son.
Abel MARTINEZ was allotted
five days of road work in the
hope that that amount of honest
toll would relieve him of the dis
position to be drunk and disor-
derly. AS an aid to his refor-
nation he was allowed to pay
the trimmings.
Francisco Baldonado was in
troduced to the court as a gem
tleman who had apparently tried
to prevent MARTINEZ from mon
opolizing the drunk and disorder
lv line of business. Leonardo
Trujillo and Augustin Vigil fol-
lowed and pleaded guilty to the
same mild indictment. Five
days and COSTS" said Judge
Green to each of the sweet trio.
Maria Baca, A. Garcia, Fidel
Luna, Nestor Abeyta, and Juan
Lopez we're collectively and sew
orally accused of having abstract
ed a keg OF beer from the store
house of the Illinois Brewing
company Sunday night while
the earth and the brewers were
wrapped in slumber. Baca put
up an eloquent plea for the guilt
leSsness of his companions alleg-
ing that he himself had done the
deed while they had merely hap
pened to be present as his guests
on that festive occasion. His
Honor was quite affected by the
eloquence of Baca's plea, releas-
ed his innocent and unfortunate
companions, and assigned Baca
himself to an apartment in the
county Jail to board out a fine OF
twenty-five dollars and costs.

AT CLOSING OF THE INSTITUTE
sup't d. A. ortega Speaks Encour-
agingly of Socorro County's
Progress in Education.

Upon the closing of the teach
ers' summer normal and insti-
tute recently conducted and held
in and for the county of Socorro,
OF which Superintendent ID. A.
Ortega was the moving spirit,
MIR. Ortega in addressing the
teachers ia attendance dwelt ex-
tcnSively upon the subject of the
association of teachers and the
advantages TO be derived by COM
mon and united effort if properly
directed. After thanking Prof.
Sterling, Territorial Superin-
tendent ]. +. Clark. and Mrs. A.
j. Smith for their efficient serv-
ices he spoke as follows:
At the close of the teachers
institute for the year 1907, | used
my best efforts to organize the
teachers then present into
teachers association for Socorro
county. Few teachers were en-
rolled at that time, but through
constant and persistent work for
year | succeeded in acquiring
the enrolment of eighteen teach
ers for the summer normal that
preceded this institute. A term
of two weeks of most pleasant
and profitable school being held
under the able and energetic
management of Prof. w. ID. Ster-
ling, led the way, in my judg-
ment, to the admitted success of
the institute just closing.
Il have been enabled to hold
for you a most modern and model
institute, the best that has been
held in this county and one that
compares favorably with any
that has ever been held in New
Mexico. The teachers who have
attended the same are now bet
ter equipped to assume their re-
sponsible and arduous duties,
their labors will be proportion
ately lessened and their pupils
will receive the full benefit of
their preparation and training.
During my administration
there has been raised from spec
ial levieS made at my earnest
instance and request in the var
ious school districts of Socorro
county the sum OF nineteen thou
sand four hundred thirty-eight
dollars. This is about five times
more money than has been rails
ed by previous administrations
in the county, Notwithstanding
the fact that not one cent of this
money was raised from any
gambling licenses. This also
does not include moneys raised
for school purposes by and for
the city of Socorro, over which /
have no control. The effect of
this taxation, which at first
blush might look onerous, has
been salutary in the extreme.
School districts which hereto
fore existed only in name have
had long terms of school and the
school influence has permeated
our citizenship. The taxpayers
are jubilant over its results.
With this and the money derived
from the general school funds,
the average school taught in
three-fourths of the school dis
tricts will be the full term and
about three-fourths OF the full
term in the remaining districts. I"
