REPORT SHOWS
GROWTH OF
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Superintendent's Report Shows
Progress all along

Territorial Superintendent of
Public instruction James E. Clark
in preparing his annual report
for the annual report Of Governor
Mills to the Secretary of the In
terror, has compiled the following
statistics which demonstrate the
magnificent strides forward that
the cause of public education is
making in New Mexico.
/. The enrolment for the past
school year was $4,000, against
47,000 the year before. In addi-
ton, 5000 pupils were enrolled
in private and sectarian schools.
making o5 per cent of all persons
between the ages of 5 and 21, or
practically all persons of compul-
sorry school age, proving that the
compulsory school attendance law
is being strictly enforced.
The average daily attendance
increased from $4,000 the year
before to $1,000 or 65 per cent Of
the enrolment, a very good show
ing when the shifting population
is taken into consideration.
The enrolment at the Institutes
held this summer was 1,276,
against l, 109last year. Six hun
dred teachers attended for four
weeks and 165 for eight weeks.
AS there were l, 1862 teachers en-
ployed as against l ,220 last year,
and the city teachers are exempt
from attendance at Institutes, the
| above figures show that practi-
cally every teacher required by
law to do so, attended the sum-
mer normal Institutes and the
figures of attendance are not sur
passed in any other common
wealth.
During the past fiscal year,
$791 900 were expended for pub
lie school purposes, or SD per
enrolled pupil. The value of the
public school property exceeds a
million dollars, while the bonded
Indebtedness is 100000.
Since 1897, the superintendent
of public instruction has issued
$500 county teachers certificates
and the territorial board Of edu-
cation has granted $50 profes-
sional certificates, of which 80
are life certificates. -NewMexican

SUPREME COURT
DECIDES FOR
6STANGIR
Chief Jussice Pope Writes Opin-
ion Affirming Decision of
Judge McFie

The Territorial Supreme Court
handed down a decision yesterday
in regard to the county seat of
Torrance, which case had been
appealed to that body by Macario
Toraes, when the case was decid-
ed against him in the district
court. The report as given by
the New Mexican is as follows:
In case No. 1918, Macario Tor.
res, appellant, VS.. The Board of
County Commissioners of the
County of Torrance, appellees,
the judgment of the lower court
lis sustained in an opinion by AS
sociate Justice Abbott. 1t was
an action brought to restrain the
board of county commissioners of
Torrance county from building a
court house or other county build
ings at Estancia for the reason
that it was not the lawful county
seat. The syllabus says:
An action brought by a tax
payer to restrain a board of coun-
ty commissioners from contract
ing for or erecting a court house
or Jail at a certain town because
said town was not the lawful
county seat of that county, for
the reason that the act of legisla-
ture designating said town to be
the county seat is unconstitution-
al and void, is a collateral attack
on the validity of the location of
said county seat and therefore not
maintalnable. /"

LIVES
SNUFfED OUT
BY L,IGHTN MING
Boys are Stricken Down while
: Playing near Home

One of the saddest accidents
we have had to record during the
entire life Of the News happened
last Sunday evening, when
Bruce Meador and Clifford Hub
bard lost their lives. The boys
together with third playmate,
Clarence Morris, were playing
with a pet rabbit near the home
of Clifford Hubbard. About four
O'Clock shower came up, the
lightning playing close round a.
bout, A stroke of lightning more
vivid than usual struck the boys
in their play, killing Bruce and
Clifford, and severely shocking
Clarence. The rabbit was also
killed. Mr.. Hubbard soon after
the flash, asked one of the child
rem where the boys were, and
received theanswer they re lying
down down there, pointing in
the direction in which they had
gone. Going to the spot, he
found one boy dead, and one al
most so. In turning the body
over the little fellow groaned,
but did not recover consciousness
Clarence was able to walk back
to the house.
The funeral of Bruce and
Clifford was held on Tuesday
evening, Elder Ligon of the
Church Of Christ officiating, as
sisted by Rev. B. f. Summers, of
the M. E. Church. Interment
was in the Estancia Cemetery,
both bodies being placed in the
same grave. The boys were nine
and eleven years of age respec-
lively.
A large number of friends
sympathize with the sorrowing
parents in their sudden and sad
bereavement.

ometers at home, were the ones
who did the groaning.

case of toothache in order TO de-
lay the doctor, SO that the guests
would have time to arrive and
give The boys time to get in as
they were afraid the doctor might
lock themputif he got there first.
That the supper was a success
is proven by the fact that one of
the bachelors has already taken
an option on one Of our towns
ladies. while another has a rail
road pass to the east and is max
ing threats about setting up his
own vine and figtree in the near
future,

advising Mrs, Ewing to duplicate
the affair again in the near future.

WAITING FOR THE WATCH
MISS FLEMING ADVERTISES LOSS
 OF VALUABLE KEEPSAKE.
Manager Garvey's First Recital of Disappearance of Timepiece Re-
 ceived With SkepticiSm.

Manager Garvey of Polls, who al- ways carries a serious expression with him, is even more serious and down. hearted these days and it's all because of a gold watch with diamond in the center, with an inscription on the inner cover with Anna to Edith'' on it. and with other marks which he gladly describes to any who will listen to him.
 The trouble is that the local dramat- ic editors won't listen to him and his pride and feelings as press represen- tatives and publicity promoter are hurt.
 You see it was this way-that is Manager Garvey says it was this way Miss Alice Fleming, the leading lady of the Poli players was presented with a gold watch prior to her terminating her engagement at the Crescent thea tre in Brooklyn few weeks ago. The watch was a gift from a lady friend of Miss Flemings as witness the Anna to Edith.'' Miss Fleming na- turally prized the gift highly and guarded it with great care until few days ago-as Manager Garvey says-when stepping into her auto at the stage entrance of the theatre and from thence to her home, something happened whereby the watch became lInfastened and was lost.
 Miss Fleming missed the watch when she arrived at her hotel, and inn mediateiy got into communication with Manager Garvey and asked him to use his best endeavOr with the newspapers to the end that the watch might be found and restored.
 Despite the fact that Miss Fleming and Manager Garvey did not agree a few days ago on the matter of Miss Fleming entering the hill climb Man ager Garvey visited the various news paper offices and sought to enlist the services of brother members of the profession in finding the watch.
 To his great dismay, after all had listened to the story of the lost watch, there was a lack of interest shown on the part of the boys who wield the blue pencil and pressed for an ex- planation of the seeming disinterested ness the boys, one and all, breathed into Manager Garveys ear that los ing jeWelry was a press story that did years ago in this neck of the woods"
 He pleaded that it was all absolute fact that he was willing to swear on a stack of bibles that it was so, that he ought to be credited with more ability than using the moth eaten iewelry thing for a press story and use all the persuasive eloquence at his command. but the boys Were story

FARMERS SCHOOL IS NOW PROPOSED
 FOR MINNESOTA
Special from United Press.)

Crookston, Minn.. June, 3.-Declaring the time is at hand when American farmers must mix brains and tech nical training with their work on the farm. to get the most out of the soil, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Will let M. Hayes today proposed a voca- tiOnal farmers school at a meeting of the Northern Minnesota Development Association here
 'The world is looking on.'' said Pro- lessor Hayes, while we farmers plOd along in our unorganized, unsystem- atic. half-hearted way, and the world believes that were our people broader and better trained we could produce much better yields than we do. We are forced to believe that the world is right. Whether our activity be social political or economic, we are on the 15 bushel basis with a 25 bushel op- portunity.'
 Professor Hayes declared the agri- cultural high school at Crookston was the nucleus of the cure of this trouble. He advocated the extension of the con- solidated rural schools idea through out Minnesota-the institutions where farming is taught in addition to the three "Rs.''
