DIAZ WILL NOT RESIGN
DURING REVOLUTION

Mexico City, May 18,-Gen. Dias
will not leave the presidency while the
country is in its present state. He
stands ready TO state in more explicit
termons than thoes contained in his
manifest, is necessary, his attitude
with reference to his retirement. He
has demanded to know from his op
ponents the terms in which they exs
pected him to announce his willingness
TO resign and is waiting a reply from
them.
The Presidents declaration of last
Sunday was made in good faith and
with the desire to serve the interests of
his country. There was no subterfuge
in his declaration. He meant what he
said-that he would lay down the reins
of government when he could do so
without danger of anarchy or chaos
following his action.

promotion of her children-which 1t
would be the wiser to do have her
children promoted at the end of the
term when they had been only about
three and a half months in the grade
and also had skipped the grade before
that. She felt that her children
would do better work to review the
three months work done in the grade
they had been promoted in since
Christmas and then do the remaining
four months of the work thoroughly
the remainder of the term. She says she
kOnws whether her children are in
the proper grades fully as we'll If not
better than the teacher has a chance
to know. We fully agreed with Mrs.
Bunting and advised her to see that
her children were allowed to be in
their proper grades next year. One
of the greatest mistakes teacher can
make Is putting child in grade
either too difficult or too easy. Most
make the mistake of putting them in
too difficult a grade and the child
thus handicapped soon loses inter-
est and finally leaves in disgust.

mean: The lesson today will be on

have moving pictures Of the principal
streets of the big towns. They will
show what Is going on in those streets
whether there are trolley cars and
such things or whether it is an un-

motion picture, say, of mountain
range taken probably from r. r.
train. Few persons remember such
dry things as the principal products
