marked an admiring friend today. AS
a matter Of fact Smith never got public
building for Arizona all the time he was
in congress, neither did he ever succeed
in getting through statehood bill,
Cameron got public building appropria-
lions for four cities and got the state
hood bill through in his first term.
Delegate Andrews of New Mexico has
secured the flag that waved over the
capitol the day the statehood bill was
concurred in by the house. and will send
it with the pen with which president
Taft signed the statehood bill, and a
photo of the president, to the New Mex

Following the signing Of the state
hood bill, the president called for
number of his own photos and after
writing some appropriate words and
signing his name gave them around
Then delegate Andrews requested one

upon it To my friends in New Mexico.

prospect of early statehood. ". H Taft
This is the one Andrews said he would
give TO the historical society.
AS all were shaking the hand of the
president after the signing of the bill.
the president said: Now all must work

tuition, with no freaks IN it. And I
hope it will not be necessary TO send
Mr. Bryan out there to write the con-
stitUtions.'
In the box containing the pen which
delegate Andrews handed TO the presi-
dent for signing the bill. was printed
this statement:
This pen is presented to the president

There was rather a sad story in con-

landed, irrigation and mining interests
in Taos county. Although very I'D, he
had remained for several months in the
city expecting 70 have the pleasure Of
seeing the president sign the bill with

A. s. NJ CLAIM To
Be At THE HEAD
OF NEW SCHOOL
HE ARRIVES FROM ROME TO BE
WITH WEST POINT iNsTl-
TUTE ON ISLAND.
Active Work Will Soon Commence and
the School Will Be Ready to Open
the Coming Season-Some Facts of
the Institution.

A. ). McClain, since it's inception,
business manager and one of the lead
ing instructors of the Martha Berry
School at Rome, has been selected
fer the new West Point Institute at
Frederica, st. Simons island and ar
rived in the city yesterday to make
preliminary arrangements looking to
his final removal to the island early
in May.
1t will be recalled that this new
school was Incorporated at the last
session of Glynn superior court am
has for it's purpose the education of
the boys of this section of the co1n-
try at a minimum of cost, combining
full manual or industrial courses and
the academic ones, besides giving to
them d practical agricultural educa-
| ton. The plans for the institution
are farr reaching and involve the ex-
penditure of $4,000, very large por-
ton of which has actually been sub
scribed and the other is easily in
sight, making the success of tAe I'M
dertaking an assured fact.
Naturally only a small part of the
support of the school can be borne by
those who attend; if it were otherwise
the school would not be built. For
each of the two terms of four and
a half months, the boys will pay in
$50. Fifty of them can enter on Sep
TENDER /, 1910, when tae school will
| open, and a hundred more the fol-
| lowing year. There are others, how
ever, already who wish to help.
The board of education of Glynn
county, of which the island is a part,
has expressed desire to cooperate,
and the county commissioners will
use the convict labor for opening the
bitches, making roads and clearing the
lands. Congressman Brantley is in
terested, and will aid in establishing
federal naval training station at
the school, where the advantages for
such work are unusually fine.
1t is planned to emphasize strong
ly this naval drill in the boys train
ing. There are also earnest men all
over Glynn county who will serve on
also at hand sources Of income lying
idle. waiting for the time when the
school shall begin.
AS stated, Mr.. McClain. who his
been called to this new field, is deeply
interested in educational work, hav-
ing spent many years with Mrs. Berry
in her great work at Rome. Mrs. Nc
CLAIM shares with her husband this
deep interest in helping the boys OF
the country to receive an education
and they will both prove to be valu
able acquisitions to the educational
interests of Glynn county.
Mr.. McClain went over to Frederick
yesterday and will remain there sew
eraI days before returning to Rome to
finish up his engagement there, re-
! turning mere later in the spring.
