 LII Kerslake. who is styled the barn yard pedagogus. has accomplished the seemingly impossible task of teaching common pig to climb ladder and shoot 'he chutes. He taught it's com panicus to ride velocipedes and skip the rope. and then organized what he pany.

INQUIRY INTO
 MEAT PACKING

washington, June 15.-Aathough fac ling the possibility of e scandal that may sovershadow the one attending the exposure of conditions in the Chir ca&o spacking houses, Secretary Will son has issued orders to Investigate kfully and Thoroughly the charges made by former Inspector J. F. Harms. who declaro6 the inspection in the East St. farce As a result of the Secretary's orders, the two Inspectors who went tsecretly from Washington to East St. Louis last week have been reinforced fby three department officials.
 These officials will take personal lcharge of the inquisition-
 Dr. Alonzo D. Melvin is at the head of the Board Of inquiry: Accompany tor of the department, and an Assist ant Attorney General from the De- Apartment of Justice Dr. Melvin is fChief of the Bureau of Animal Indus at East St. Louis they will get in inn mediate touch with the two 1nspec- tors, who, it is expected, will be pre- kpared to make a preliminary report
 Secretary wilson is determined that the true conditions shall become I known He informed the inquisitors that they are expected to discover whether Harms charges are true, and If they are to make a full report de- scrfbing the actual conditions and giv-
 ing the reasons for their existence. If Harms accusations are found to be
 without foundation. it is the Intention of the Department of Agriculture to prosecute him for criminal libel.
 The charges made by Harms, which he forwarded to the Secretary with
 his resignation. were to the effect that
 the inspection methods employed in
 the East St. Louis packing houses were Impossible He declared that the most unSanitary conditions
 sbounded; that the establishments
 reeked of filth, and that diseased meat in large quantities was used in the
 preparation of meat products.
 The former Inspector took the ac-
 ton he did shortly after he had been refused a transfer to Cleveland, which
 the department could not make be-
 cause there was no vacancy in that
 city. That there was malice in the
 oflcfal's action the department thinks
 was demonstrated by his making pub-
 lie the letter citing particulars before
 it had reached the hands of Secretary.
 The Government deplores the entire <, affair because of its effect on the ex-
 port trade Meat exports received a
 hard blow by reason Of the revelations
 of conditions in the Chicago packing
 district They have been slowly re- covering the lost ground, and this &C., cusation by Harms has spread to the four quarters of the globe.

JACKSON iNDohsED THE NOTE.
Rascally Government Official Brought
to Time by President.

When Andrew Jackson was presi-
dent a poor widow who kept a board
ing house, finding it impossible to col
lect her board bill from a government
official, went to the White House and
told the president about it.
Jackson said to her: He'll give
you note for it, won't he?"
She said Yes"
Then" said Jackson, 'get his note
and come back and see me again."
She had no difficulty in getting the
note, and, carrying it to the White
House. the president took it and wrote
on its back Andrew Jackson" then
told her to put it in bank for col
lection
When the government official was
notified that his note was in the bank
for collection he laughed at the idea,
but when he was told that it was in
dorsed by Andrew Jackson he got the
money mighty quickly and paid it,
and few days afterward he was noti-
fled that his services were no longer
wanted,

"waAr is The mATTeR7"

], In gathering the opinions Of
various citizens upon the high
school proposition, which opinions
are presented to some extent else
where IN this issue, The OASIS was
confronted frequently with The two
inquiries: What is the matter
vim the schools of Nogales?"
wv hat is the renedy?"
To answer both questions would
be an easy matter 10 those who
have given The subject any thought
But a correct and truthful reply TO
either would cause doubtless deal
of hard feeling and arouse no little
strife. And whether with the re-
medy understood plainly the same
could be applied Is a problem.
What Is the matter with the
schools of Nogales?" They are
rotten" was All assertion that was
made lime and gain last week, to
the editor and to the committee
seeking signatures to the petition
for an election 10 authorize Il bond
issue for building high school
structure.
The causes for the rottenness of
the schools are deep seated and
manifold. Some OF them are in
herent in the environment and in
fine character OF the population.
The capable and Efficient instructor
who wrote the article OF two weeks
ago entitled "lhe Three RS"
touched the spot when she wrote.
"lhe progress OF people is this;
that they receive as much Of cul-
ture and education as they can and
bequealh little Of it to the next
generation" In the public schools
of Nogales there are Two classes OF
pupils: A large body of children
OF school age from generation
which As but begun climbing the
ladder of culture and education.
Tie generations preceding them
had received little or none OF either,
and had nothing to 5equeath tc
the generation now in our schools.
Their mental horizon is limited
the parents are without knowledge
except that of the crudest and most
limited description, the atmosphere
in which the child exists outside OF
the school is one OF ignorance and
listlessness, the forbears of the
child for generations back were
never taught to exert and use their
mental faculties, and as result

finite and effective results. Too

where been copied without taking
into consideration the question
whether they are practical here.
70 frequently measures have been
turned down here and rejected that

beneficial, because of hatred or dis

very good things have been killed

was a case in point. Other valu-
able institutions have been diverted
to the use of few. Too much in
dividual force and energy have
been diverted into get even fights
or in defence against such fights.
And right there will be the trouble
in any effort to rehabilitate the
public schools of Nogales. and
bring them to state of efficiency.
The men who can do it, if there
are any such in Nogales, would not
undertake the task just because of
the fights they would have upon
their hands il they tried. The town
will have to await a new immigra-
ton, with hope that il will bring
men who can and will do things as
they ought to be done without "A con-
tinual struggle of reprisal and re.
venge for real or fancied grievanc.
es. Aud first OF all there will
have to grow a sentiment which is
expressed in that old and homely
proverb: Live and let live"
The plan of this article was to
present complete survey OF all
the weaknesses and defects in the
schools at Nogales. To this point
but one side of the subject has been
touched. Several potent and deep
seated difficulties remain to he con
sidered, which will have to be done
in another article at another time.

There is the great problem with
which are confronted our school

seems that the only solution would
be separate schools. But that
would arouse race anlipathy
and feeling that would work a
world of mischief.
The problem then is to carry
the schools along with the two in
congruous elements side by side, to
the best advantage OF both. That
is problem a correct solution Of
which would require the closest at
