DR.. Light Favors the County
Unit School System.

DR.. c. NJ. Light, President of the
Silver City Normal and member
of the New Mexico Board of Educa-
ton, was in the city the other day
and spoke very strongly in favor
of the county unit school system
for system for rural schools. In
the last issue of the Normalile DR..
Light explains the merits of the
unit system as follows
The County Unit System for
rural schools which is now being
considered by the present New
Mexico Legislative assembly has
many points in its favor. In the
first place it is not an innovation.
Its strong points are familiar to all
students of education AS a system
it is now operating in Florida,
Utah, Louisiana, Georgia, North
Carolina, Maryland, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, and in a modified form in
Iowa and South Carolina. The
township system, which is similar
to it, the unit being smaller than
the county, exists in Maine, YER
mont, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Mich
igan, Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Most of the other states which
now have the independent school
district system are now combining
their districts into larger units.
Those who are not moving in this
direction are behind in educational
progress. This last year 1900 chill
dren in New Mexico not only did
not attend school but had no oppor-
tunity to do so. There were no
funds for ~ school districts, con.
sequently they had no school. 1t is
confidently believed that the county
unit plan is the only plan that will
give every child in the state at
least five months good school as
provided by the constitution.

Distinguished Guests Pay
Tribute to Deming.

The reception and dancing party
given at the Harvey house, Monday
evening. by Manager and Mrs. K.
C. Taylor and Mr.. and Mrs. Ira q.
Wetmorc. was one of the most
charming and congenial social
events Deming has ever known.
Nearly one hundred people were
present and it is certain the new
state has never seen more repre-
sentative gathering of men and
women.
There were several distinguished
guests present from out of town
and all unite in paying a splendid
tribute to Deming social life.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. W. Ferris of
New York City were profuse in
their expressions of surprise and
delight at the tone and style observ-
abe on every hand.
Herbert l.. Bradley, of Boston.
remarked to Manager Taylor that
he was most agreeably disappointed.
He had expected to see chaps and
spurs and had seen instead silk hats
and beautiful gowns and the glisten
of many gems. He had listened to
the bright, sparkling wit of beauti-
full women and could easily imagine
himself in the social centers of his
native city. He declared that the
wild and Woody West was gone
forever. Such genuine cordially is
not seen in the East.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Rogers of
Portage, Wisconsin, were equally
kind in their expressions. They
have been here many times and of
course were not at all surprised.
Chester Lawrence of the Los
Angeles Examiner and Harvey Her.
rick, one of the speed kings of the
world, together with their wives,
taking the path-finding car now
engaged in making the Ocean to
Ocean" highway, were also most
agreeably surprised. We have

ing.

To the New Mexico Policyholders
of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company of California:
This issue of the Pacific Mutual
News is dedicated to you in appre-
citation of your splendid co-opera-
ton. which has twice made it pos
sible for this agency to win the
Challenge Cup, which is contested
for once n year by forty-four diff
fcrent state agencies.
When you purchased your policy
from the Pacific Mutual you not
only received the best insurance
money can buy, but you also lent
your support to company which is
doing more to upbuild New Mexico
than all other life insurance com
panies combined. On April LIST,
1912, our company had S552, GOO
loaned in New Mexico on first
mortgages. The policy of our
Company is to place loans in our
state, twice the amount we collect
in premiums. Last year our col
lections were over 500, 10000. and
the Company loaned over $780, 600
in this state. You can readily ap-
preciate what this means in help
ing upbuild New Mexico, and thus
increasing the value of your invest
ments in this state.
If you appreciate what the Paci- I.
ic Mutual is doing for New Mex
leo, am sure you will be glad to
favor MS in turn by inducing your
friends to insure with US. That
our money is wisely invested is
proven by the fact that on the
first of the year we will not have
any overdue interest on our loans.
doubt if there is a bank in the
state with loans in excess of half a
million dollars on which there is no
overdue interest.
Trusting that we may have your
hearty corporation, ] am.
Very truly yours,
+. b. SCHwENTKER,
General Agent.
Albuquerque, n. NJ,
March l6, 1912.
1t might be well to say in this
connection that John NJ. McTcer of
Deming won first prize money for
New Mexico.
