Monthly Report of City Superinten-
dent of Schools.


Roswell Board of Education:
Gentlemen:-In accordance with
your rules ard regulations, il is my
pleasure to submit to you the follow
ing report of the Third Month of this
current school year.
There We're enrolled in all the
schools this past month 1858 pupils.
an increase of about 200 pupils over
that of the same month of last year.
There were 22,05S days belonging and
20,269 days attended of the days be-
longing. The per cent of the days at
tended of the days belonging was 81
Der cent-'a record of which all the
teachers and pupils may well congrat-
ulate themselves-the best record in
at endance since | have been con-
nected with these schools. School
was kept IS days and the average
number of days attended per pupil
was 17ta days, this too is the best
record that has been secured in these
schools since I have been connected
with them. The average daily atten-
dance was 1921 pupils. There were
81 cases of tardiness which was the
worst feature of this report. There
should not nave been half this num-
Der Of cases of tardiness. But the
parents are largely TO blame for this
because a large number of these cas-
ents had started their children TO
school FIVE minutes earlier. | am go
| ing to have to resort TO some severe
means in order to reach these few
! dalinCuentS. There was one case OF
| frua2cy-a most remarkable record
when the crowded condition of our
| schoD Dls is taken into consideration.
| Tae-e were only cases of corporal
punishnent-anothe remarkable rec
ord. In fact We are having to resort
/ to bu. little corporal punishment,
which is an indication of the high
moral tone of our schools. Another
reason is that of the strong person
ality OF our teachers and of the strong
school spirit among the pupils. We
have been working very hard for two
years to secure this strong healthy
school spirit. If you will visit the
school campusss during recess, you
will find the best of order prevailing e
| withou: any effort on the part of the
| teachers to secure IT, In fact 1t never
enters the mind of a very large ma
| joTity of the pupils to be otherwise
! than orderly.
! There were 707 visitors out 10 the
various schools this past monih-an
| increase of over 400 visitors over that
of any other month since have been
connected with these schools This
is an indication of the real true inter
est the people of Roswell have in
their schools, which Is very encourag
ing to both pupils and teachers.
Respectfully submitted,

THE COMING OF THE EDU-
GATORS TO ROSWELL

To the Business Men of Roswell:
For the first time in the "a years
exisi ence of the New Mexico Ejuca-
tional Association, it will hold its
coming meeting in Roswell, Decem-
ber %, 20, and go. From many ST and
points this is tae most important or
ganization in New Mexico. Ii is made
up of the leading educators of New
STeXico-Men and iwomen who ARE
truly moulding public opinion and
are shaping very largely the true des-
etiny or our great territory. The i'm
pressions that these men and women
receive of Roswell and her citizenship
will mean much for our progressive
and beautiful little city. They are
coming expecting great things of us
in many ways and we cannots disap-
point them.
At the meeting Aeld in Albuquerque
last December, a most cordial and
splendid reception was rendered the
teachers of New Mexico by the citi
Zens of that city. We people of Ros-
we'll -Lust see that this coming meet
ing of this Association is the most
successful in all respects of any meet
ing in its history. We know that the
progressive intelligent citizenship OF
Roswell will not fail in this matter.
Last April several thousand dollars
the CGttlemen's Convention in our
city. We know that the teachers AS
sociation means more for the real
future success of our city and country
than that convention, and I recog-
niZe the great work that the cattle
men have done for this country and
they have my very highest regards.
They were the pioneers that opened
the way for civilization.
A committee of ladies from the Mo
Tiers clubs of the schools and the
Wonans Club will wait upon the bu-
siness men of Roswell to secure the
money for a reception TO be rendered
the visiting teachers at the CONNER
cial Club, December goth. 1t will only
require about $3.50 to meet the ex-
penses of this reception, and, of
course, the ladies will have no trouble
in securing this small sum of money
for this purpose.
The members of the Commercial
Club and the citizens of Roswell will
give the teachers an automobile ride
through our great irrigated district on
the afternoon of December 3Oth, a
feature that all the teachers from all
parts of the territory are looking for
ward to with much pleasure.
The Roswell city teachers are pre-
pairing an exhibit of their school work
that will be an interesting feature of
the occasion, and will indicate the ex-
cellent work that is being done in the
schools
The Roswell city teachers will ten
der a reception to the visiting teach
ers at the home of Mrs. Sidney Prag
er on the evening of December 2Sth
from 8 to IL o'clock for the purpose
of giving the visiting teachers an op
pOrtunity to get acquainted and for a
good social time.
After the Oratorical contest on the
evening of Dec. 30, the Senior Glass
of the Roswell High School will give
a banquet in honor of the various con
testants from the various high schools
of New Mexico.
With the elimination, in a success
full manner. of all these features, the
members of the New Mexico Educa
tional Association will say that this
meeting was the most brilliant and

RAILROADS
IN CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 10.-A controver-
sy over railroads legislation will be
precipitated in congress this winter,
which in Importance, promises to
surpass the legislative conflict over
;he railroads of four years ago.
The first gun was fired today by
Senator Cummings, of Iowa, when he
introduced bill proposing radical
changes in the Interstate Commerce
Act.
II is expected a measure proposing
amendments to the law will be intro
duced early in January by Senator
Elllins, which will differ from the
Cummings bill in many important de-
tails.
In brief the Cummings bill requires
the Interstate Commerce Commission
10 pro2iulgate uniform classification
of freight and to prepare plan for
statement of freight rates, which
shall hereafter be made in a uniform
way.
Carriers are required to adopt this
classification and tae Commission is
aut loriZed TO consider rates on its
own motion, with view to determine
their reasonableness and is empower
ed to fix maximum rates.
In any action instituted in court to
set aside an order of the Commission
respecting rates, the courts are pre-
vented from inquiring into the reas-
onableness or the sufficiency of any
rate fixed by the Commission.
The bill prohibits the acquisition
or control by any railroad of any par
allel or competing line. The bill also
provides. in effect, that the ComTnis-
sion shall nave supervision over stock
issues and bonds by any carrier.
After January l, 1911, no carrier
doing an interstate business will be
permitted to engage in any business
OF ner than that of common carrier.

dorsement from a surprising numper

medicine 1 know it to be.
ssI have had rheumatism for sixteen
wears and took so much medicine IN
trying to get rid of it that for the past
eight years my stomach has been IN
a fearful condition, as my dlgestlon
was almost ruined. For ten years
consulted one physician after an

worse. Finally my stomach got IN
such a state that had to stop taxing
medicine altogether.
