TUBERCULAR PATIENTS
DUTY 70 HIMSELF
Disease is not Incurable and Hope
Should not be Lost
DIR. HOLMES DISCUSSES
PHASES OF THE MALADY

The average healthy person is
not concerned with his habits and
manner of living beyond the or
dinary customs, of society. The
tubercular person or consumptive
has an especial relation both to
himself and the community that
should not be overlooked.
The average tubercular person
was not always sick. At one
time of life he was as healthy as
many about him. It was his last
thought that he would soon be
down and out and without the
usual income and perhaps depen-
dent upon others. Every mon tn
had brought in something as a
result of his labors and he was
able to make home happy and
every thing pleasant. He could
look upon the future with plea
sure. But through indiscretion,
exposure, carelessness, overwork
or perhaps no assignable cause
the whole scene is changed. A
| persistent cough, a gradual loss
of weight or q warning in the
way Of hemmorhage has told
him of his true condition. The
future, instead Of being q
pleasure Is now q dread. 1t

accompanied by privation and
wsnt unless others come to his
aid. Truly this 10 q sad and dark
picture but one that is not over
drawn in the least, as we, who
live where so many come in
search for health, we'll know.
One or more years of sickness
will tax the resources of more
than the average person unless
he is very fortunate. So for the
consumptive to be in financial
straits is not surprising nor is it
to anyOne's distredit.
Shall the one thus afflicted
give upin despair? Shall he con

ness. At the beginning of the
session, some of the pupils spoke
no English, but in the one session
they have learned to read and to
speak the language. Some of
them have accomplished much
more than the ordinary seein g
child could hope to accomplish
in the same length of time.
The exercises offered convinc-
ing proof that the pupils are
learning the greatest language
on earth. The recitations were
exceedingly we'll rendered, and
showed that the pupils have
made almost incredible gain
in self-reliance and have lost
some of the eternal consciousness
Of their misfortune. The piano
selections and the songs sung by
the chorus bore evidence that
the training has not been one.

the march drill made perhaps
the most interesting numb Der on
the program. Those blind child
rem marched with the precision
and certainty that could be
brought about only by the most
careful, patient training.
The successful training of the
blind is work of the gravest
Importance, and one which is not
mastered in a day. Aside from
the technical preparation which
is an essential, even, level tenn
peraments and big hearts that
have unfailing kindness, infinite
patience tenderness, are requir-
ed. Not every teacher is fitted
for the work, but fortunately the
members of this faculty are
equipped for the work. An ex-
cellent board has stood behind
this faculty, endorsing and sup
porting all that has been done.
Under these conditions it is no
wonder that the institution is
moving so rapidly into the front
rank.

The entertainment given Tues
day night at the New Mexico
Institute for the Blind marked
the closing of the most progress
sive and successful years work
that the institution has ever en-
joyed. In a long period of years
THE News man has attended
many school entertainments, but
he has never had the privilege
of attending one where the visit
ors were so nearly unanimous in
their praise and enthusiasm. The
mum Der of visitors in attendance
was close to two hundred, and
from every side came expressions
of surprise, wonder and delight,
that the unfortunate victims of
blindness had been able to over
come so much of the handicap.
The exercises were pleasing
and effective, admirably serving
the purpose for which they were
intended; but at best these exer-
cises could present to the ordi
nary or casual observer no more
than a superficial idea of the
breadth and SCI pc and the
genuine, the permanent value of
the training which these child.
rem have received during the
year. The exercises proved con-
clusively that, under the guild
ance Of this able faculty, these
pupils had been able to substi-
tute finger tips for eyes, and
thus have thrown open for them
the same unlimited field of know
ledge which the more fortunate
approach through the broader
avenue of vision.
In order fully to appreciate the
true value of the training which
these children have received, it
would be necessary to know that
when many of them entered the
school last fall and winter, they
were backward and shy, wholly
dependent and given to sitting
in out of the way places and
brooding, and then to draw a
comparison between those condi-

dress following a luncheon in
his honor at the Hamilton Club

to saving the forests, storing

more intelligent class of settlers
to the country, with a view to
the utilization of every oppor-

added among other things:
THE National Reclamation
Act, adopted by the United
States Congress in 1902, is the
Outgrowth of years of work by
this organization to obtain the
enactment of such a law. This
has given the country 25 projects,

Recent Court Decision
MANY HOWEVER, Still.
FAVOR INCORPORATION

The newest project launched in
Alamogordo has for its object,
purpose and intent, the disincor.
poration OF the Most Beautiful
Town in New Mexico" This
plan, which quickly assumed
the form of a petition, was in
some degree the result of court
decision to the effect that vii
lagos do not have the power to
to collect license from saloons.
However, the strongest support
which the disincorporation move
ment appears to be receiving, is
from those who have been oppos-
ed to Incorporation since the very
beginning of the movement.
1t is not the purpose of this re-
port to discuss the situation in
an editorial way. The News is
interested, and vitally interest
ed, in the growth and develop
ment of AlamogOrdo and tribu-
tary country. The question in
issue is not one to be decided
careIessly or hastily. The News
has favored the Incorporation of
Of Alamogordo, from the begin
ming of the movement, and is
still in favor of Incorporation.
We have not yet had time, how
ever, to make an inquiry and
investigation upon which 20 base
an earnest and effective plea for
the preservation of our best in
terests. We want to be just
and fair. and we do not propose
to discuss the situation until we
have in our possession sufficient
facts to enable us to make a con-
yInclng argument.

cIared that since the saloon can
