Encouraging Results

Yields of cotton and corn, each
crop to consist of ten acres. grew
1856 bales of cotton per acre
and 81. ia bushels of corn per
acre. This was in Cameron
County. down in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, which is popular
ly supposed to be unsuited for
successful corn growing. Yet
the yield was more than the ay-
erage for the whole State.
The winner Of the second
prize. ColhnA. Humley Of Free
stone County made on his ten
acres an average of 1881 bales
of cotton to the acre and 5L276
bushels of corn, more than
double the average yield of the
State even in good seasons.
The winner of the third prize,
Charles A. Doss Of Milan Coun-
tv. made 81. 1926 bushels Of corn
10 the acre and 1.l92S bales Of
cotton.
None of the winners of the
first five prizes made less than a
bale Of cotton to the acre. and
none except the winner OF the
first p.z.. who lives In Cameron
County. made less than fifty
bushels of corn to the acre. The
Cameron County contestant was
decidedly first in cotton produc-
ton and decidedly last IN corn

mo STRAIN PUT
| ON THE Children
Americas Method Of Promo
ton Brings Good Results
Supt. Miller Talks Of the Doing Away
Of the Old System Of Examining
ChildFeR---TFend Of Educational
Thought is Away From This System

The abolishment Of examinations III
the High School of Americas has been
accomplishment with such excellent
results that any doubt as to the adj
visibility of this system has been re-
moved and no one would return to the
old tedious method of final exam
nations as a means of deciding
whether the children shall be promot-
ed or not
I've are more than pleased with the
results of the adjustment of the old
examination system, said Supt. Nil
Ter in talking of this method OF pro-
noting the children. 1T has done
away with the severe nervous tension
that was put upon the children in for
mer years; it has encouraged them TO
do more effective work during the
term, and it deals, am satisfied, more
justly with the pupils than the Old
method of subjecting them to severe
test at the end of he term to ascer-
tain whether they are entitled to pro-
motion.
while all of the schools have not
yet adopted the system of promoting
on the regular work done during the
school year, I believe that this sys-
tenn will come more and more into
vogue, continued Supt Miller. Com
plants are frequent in cities where
the old system is adhered to of child
rem breaking themselves down in their
efforts to devote over time to spe-
cial study just before and during the
examination period. Cramming for
examinations is not a fanciful evil,
by any means. Under our method
the child's work day after day tells.
The teachers, too, are really best
qualified to tell whether a child is
entitled to promotion, and their judg-
ment and advice, coupled with the ac-
tual results of the work throughout
the term, is a far better governing
system than the old one of subjectirg
the children to a series of severe test
questions at the end of the scholastic
year"
Every now and then reports are
seen in Northern papers complaining
of the examination methods, of the
injury done to sensitive children by
the strain put upon them at the enc
of an exacting years work in school
and it is not improbable that eventual
ly in all the schools, regardless Of
grade, the system in vogue in the
Americas High School will be in eff
feet. In this as in many other i'm
portant matters, the Americas High
School is now at the front of the
procession.

THINGS ABOUT MEN WOMEN 4
CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
: In Which a Wife Shows 1t Is I'M
= possible to Deal Frankly
= With Husbands. 4

(By Dorothy Dix

81 think" said the second woman,
that the hardest thing for women 20
understand about men is that men like
to have women cajole, deceive and lie
to them, and that it is practically I'M
possible for woman to deal frankly
and honestly even with her own hus-
band because he won't let her.
81 know that all the men will rise
up en- masse and deny this statement
with bitter oaths. Nevertheless, it is
the plain, bald truth.
'And what makes it more mysteri-
Gus to women is that men like other
men who are frank, honest and above
board, but they won't stand for that
kind Of conduct in a woman.
"Of course every girl has to live a
life of double-dyed deceit, so far as
men are concerned, if she expects to
have any masculine attention and get
married She has to pretend to be
flattered and overjoyed at the atten-
tions of every man who comes along,
no matter what sort of a chump he is.
She has to ogle and smirk at senile
old grandpas who think they are still
lady killers.
! 'iShe has to affect to believe that
hobbledehoy school boys are blase
men of the world of whose Machia-
yellian destinations she is afraid She
has to seem simply enthralled at the
conversation of bores, and look as if
she could dance forever with clodhop-
pers that step on her feet and tear her
gown.
! Nobody else on earth has such an
appetite for soft soap, or will swal-
low it in such hunks as a middle-aged
man who is beginning to get a little
bay window and bald; and so it's up to
wife to push the salve and spread
the velvet if she wants to keep her
own.
But why should a woman have to
flatter her husband and cajole money
out of him, and s.des-ep all around
him instead of following the straight
and narrow path
mo woman knows, but she does
know that most of the frank and plain
speaking wives are temporarily domi-
ciled in Reno"
