Mention was made in the Ava
lanche some weeks ago that
there would be Boys Clean
Up Club" organized, and that
the boy keeping the cleanest
back yard and alley till Septem-
ber the first would be given a
prize of five dollars by the
Twentieth Century Club.
The bows were to register at
Mr.. Norton's by June lst, but
as only a few have enrolled we
will extend the time to June
10th. We hope the boys will en-
list in this cleanup campaign
and help make Lubbock the
cIeanest town on the Plains. A
banquet is being planned for the
entire club at the close Of the
race so all the boys will be re-
warded ia some way for their
efforts. We hope to have a
number of boys enlist the COM
ing week. ~

preparation of $500 to be used

Superintendent Chandler pushed
tho button yesterday morning at the
meeting Of the public school teachers.
and the machinery which will carry
the destiny of the children of Rich
mond for another year was started.
All the teachers OF John Marshall
high school and the elementary
schools in the Richmond Jurisdiction
assembled to meet the superintendent
and the principals, and to hear what
the superintendent had to say at the
beginning OF the term, and also to
receive their assignments for the SEES
sion,
The teachers were there In force.
They seemed primed for the fray, and
willing and ready to take UP the task
of training the young tree. Before
the meeting was called the teachers
got together and talked over their
vacations, their trips. their holidays.
their pleasures and tneir rests. And
then they exchanged views IS tos the
outlook of the coming session, and 1t
was noticeable that all the teachers
seemed to be imbued with the en-
thusiasm and the energy which. as
DIR. Chandler said, Is bound to lead
to profitable results.
All old pupils will gather at their
schools today. and tomorrow the new
ones will come in.
Superintendent Chandler In his ad-
dress to the teachers, brought out the
point that he favored manual train
ing. This has been no secret. how
ever, for 1t came to the front on sew
eral occasions during the long inquiry
which was conducted by the special
committee of the city counfl. before
the present council came into office.
and which was sent on to the new
council with the request that 1t be
carried on still further. In his ad-
dress Dr. Chandler said:
DIR. Chambers Address.
I am glad to welcome you again
to your posts of duty.
At this juncture In the school az
fairs Of our city and the nation 1t
Is important that all shall consistently
and faithfully work for the interests
of the children who attend our
schools.
1t has been said that child nature
does not change-that the nature OF
the child century ago was the same
as the nature OF the child today. and,
on this assumption, 1t has frequently
been argued that what was good for
the child at one time is good for the
child today. Ii one stops and thinks
carefully he will soon realize that this
Is q fallacy. The environment of
the child has changed almost beyond
comprehension within one hundred
years. In that time we have seen the
old oil lamp supplanted by kerosene.
gas ana electricity: we have seen
travel on horseback and in stage
coach supplanted by electric cars,
steam railway and automobiles; we
have seen home industries cease to
be factors in our economic life end
factory products take their place. AL

REYNOLDS TO SPEAK
Socialist Candidate for Gov
ernor to Be Here Next
Sunday.

Stephen Marion Reynolds of Terre
Haute. the Socialist candidate for gov
ernor of Indiana, will speak at the
Murray theater next Sunday at $50
o'clock. Preparations are being made
for big meeting So many requests
are being received by the state secre-
tary for addresses by Mr.. Reynolds
that il will be impossible for him to
visit this section of the state again
and the Socialists expect to make the
most of this meeting.
Mr.. Reynolds is a unique character
in his home city. For many years IL is
said he had an extensive law practice
and many large business firms and cor
porations were among his permanent
clients. Mr. Reynolds deliberately sac
rificed this practice in announcing
himself a socialist some years ago. His
wealthy clients left him as his convic-
tons became known. During the past
year he has maintained an office and
given free legal advice to workingmen.
Living in the heart of the coal district
he is frequently consulted by miners
who are injured and crippled at their
work as we'll as other workingmen who
seek advice on various legal matters.

LOOK FOR DEMOCRAT
FOR SECOND PLACE
Roosevelt Says He Would
Like to Have a South
ern Man.
CNational News Association

OYSTER BAY. July 81 Colonel
Roosevelt announced today that a
southern Democrat will be nominated
for vice-president upon the national
Progressive ticket, If a good man can
be found.
We are looking for such man."
said the Colonel, but have not found
him yet"
With Southerner as his running
mate on the ticket the Colonel hopes
to break into the solid south and at
tract voters who otherwise would sup
port Woodrow Wilson. The efforts of
the Taft forces in Kansas to keep the
Roosevelt candidates for electors off
the ballots at the primaries in that
state next Tuesday was roundly scor-
ed today in a statement dictated by
the eX-president He attacked the
whole Taft organization including
Charles D. Hilles for trying to prevent
the voters, everywhere from having
any voice in their own affairs.
Colonel Roosevelt showed a letter
here received from William Allen
White, the Kansas editor, telling of
the appeal taken by the Taft men to
Federal Judge Pitney in the Kansas
ballot controversy.
Mr.. White makes a strong state
ment of the efforts of the regulars in
Kansas to invalidate the whole pri-
mary by having made the appeal to
the Federal court said the Colonel
"He says the Taft men, headed by Mr.
Mullane, who was the rear brakeman
on the steam roller at Chicago are now
taking the case before Judge Pitney
on the constitutional question involv,
guarantees to every man his political
rights.
