A SPLENDID SHOWING.

A source Of pride to Brownsville is
the splendid showing made by the
two national banks Of the city in
their respective statements which
are published in today's Herald.
With totals running in one instance
to $1,225,192.04 and in the other to
$1,131,708.33, Of which loans and
discounts in the first instance
amounting TO $64S,941.45 and in
the other to $566,605.91, and de-
posits amounting TO $S92, 994.70 and
$602,534.56 respectively, form the
leading features, the two banks
statements reflect Enthusiastically the
prosperity or the city and surround
ing country. Added to the very
healthy and thriving condition of
each bank. the fact that each has
lately erected and is nov installed in
a handsome new home is another
feature proving prosperity. In fact,
the two costly and handsome bank
structures facing each other on
Elizabeth street, would do credit to
any Of the larger cities Of the South.
No Texas city possesses any that are
handsomer and few in the state are
as handsome. These splendid orna-
ments not only fill our citizens with
just pride, but occasion admiration
and commendatory comment on the
part Of all visitors to Brownsville.
Coupled with she statements pub
lished by the two banks today, they
advertise Brownsville and the
Brownsville Country in a most sub
stantial manner

After a weeks hard work, the
teachers who attended the Teachers
Institute at the high school, yester-
day completed the program and are
now ready to begin the real work of
the year. Prof. Wright made tenn
porary assignments to classes, and II
is not known yet what teachers will
be assigned permanently. Some
changes may be necessary and will
be made as the work becomes well
lined out.
Rev. J. w Perry. pastor Of the
First Methodist church, again visited
the institute and addressed the
teachers on THE Dignity and Posi-
bility of Pedagogy" In part, he
stated that teaching is one Of the
most honorable and responsible un-
dertakings of the human race. Our
people, he said. can not appreciate
the arduous labor OF teaching, un-
less they have had experience in
that work. THE community looks up
to each of you as one Of authority.
as one who knows she Is expected to
do a little of everything and do il
WELL
Miss Knowles, in conducting a
class in Engli h classics, selected
Julius Caesar as her subject. She
took the assembled teachers through
n number Of excerpts from that
work, and lectured very interesting
ly. Miss McCaughan and Miss Craig
discussed the subject.
Proper method OF conducting
students in or out OF school rooms.
and keeping order on the school
grounds. were gone into by Superin-
tendenf Wright. 1t is his oninion
that all order around the school
grounds should be of military bear
ing. He believes in physical culture
and athletics as part of fine education
of the child, and intends that as
soon a. possible these things shall
be taken up in the regular school
work. Mrs. Dickens and Miss Bar
bour also discussed these matters.
After Miss Moore read an essay
entitled ''Promptness Essential in
Teachers and Students" all the
teachers agreed that the teachers
should be prompt in arriving on
duty. II was also suggested that II
the mothers would cooperate to a
greater extent there would be less
tardine7s on the part OF the pupils.
A very interesting recitation was
gone through when Miss Craig con-
Quoted a class in first year grammar.
She questioned the teachers along
various lines in the lower grammar
grades. and they answered the ques-
tons Just a though they were
pupils. All We're well pleased with
the result OF the recitation.

Judge Allen Is correct when he
scores President Taft for his weak
policy in no. a~ffording or guaran-
teeing protection to Americans in
Mexico or to United States towns on
the Mexican border. The Herald is
no admirer of Col. Roosevelt's, yet il
feels that had the latter been in the
White House during the little family
jar in our neighboring country. he
would have taken prompt steps to
see that the safety of Americans in
the rebel infested districts was guar
anteed. and especially would he have
made it to the interest of the rebels
not TO aim their guns towards United
states towns when lighting near the
border.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-09-07

The institute was addressed Just
before it close by DR.. S. X. Hallam.
After Quizzing the teachers as to
whether or not they knew how to
define the word light, he went into
an extended definition of he word.
Learning Mr.. Hallam said, lis
a force. light is a force and the
teachers so becomes a force. Light
is the most wonderful power in the
universe. and we. the teachers, are
to be the bearers of light" DR.. Hal
lam believes that the teachers work
is TO take the child and teach it how
TO use the wonderful gifts Of God.
Among the visitors to the institute
yesterday We're Mrs. C. G.. Hallmark.
who spent the entire afternoon with
the teachers. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank c. Pierce.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Z. 1912.
THE DEMOCRATS DUTY.

Down in Texas, of course, there is
no need Of any very strenuous cam
paign work for any of the national
tickets. The certainty Of presidential
results in this state, as well as
throughout the solid South, removes
any necessity for the expenditure OF
oratory or campaign funds here in
the interest of any presidential
ticket. Still, Texas democrats
should be sufficiently interested in
the success of the party to be willing
to contribute at least n dollar
toward the fund.
In Cameron coun v, w. A. Rut-
ledge Of this city, d. P. Gay of Olmito
or The II laid will receive contribu-
tions to the Wflson-Marshall cam
paign fund and remit the same to
the national democratic campaign
headquarters in New York.
Mr.. Wilson has distinctly express
ed a preference for a fund con
tributed by the mass of democrats at
81 per capita to larger contributors
which may be attributed to some self
seeking interest. The democrats
should honor their standard bearer
for this principle and should show
their faith in him by contributing
the dollar which is asked Of them for
the cause which they are pledged to
support.

UNCLE SAM, PACKAGE CARRIER

Uncle Sam is now bound to the
carrying business, to the extent Of
transporting eleven pound packages
at rates that are supposed to knock
out the express carriers. Perhaps
it may do this. Perhaps it may de-
velop the long distance shopping
habit to an extent which will make
the catalogue house a very oppressive
evil to the home merchant. All this
remains to be seen, however. 1t re-
mains to be seen what the purchas-
ers of long distance packages are
going to do when Uncle Sam hap
pens to deliver their good in bad
shape or perchance even hands the
addresse an empty box, whose orig
inal contents have vanished en- route,
or is otherwise delinquent in his
duty as a carrier Of commerce. VIII
he pay either purchaser or vendor
the value of lost or damaged goods?
Well. perhaps he may if the loser
can manage to get a bill parsed
through congress voting an appro-
priation for the purpose. But, as
said before. all this remain to be
seen. Possibly the new service NAV
prove to be the boon to the United
States mankind and womankind-
which its authors have claimed it
would be. 1t may give its OPP
ponents a chance to console them
selves with a single I-told-you-so.
But all this remains to be seen.
