school in Santa Fe. 1t was 20 years
ago today Dr. Harrison came to this
city. Discussing his candidacy he
said:
Il believe the public schools are in
tended for the plain people and the
course OF study should be so arrang-
ed, in my opinion, that when a boy or
girl quits school he or she will be
able to go out with training in Eng
lish and mathematics that will serve
to good purpose during the struggle
| tor a living. | do not believe there
'fcre in needles Iri,.s or foclishEsss Ia
this curriculum just a plain, common
sense way of handling the school
problem. There is a lot of philosophy
in the Three RS.
"As regards the kind of teachers |
would vote for may say l believe
they should not only be qualified edu.
cationally, but also be men and women
of high principles and good morals
teachers to set an example to the
younger generation
MRS. J. w. MAYES.
The new Mexican opened the dis
cussion of qualifications yesterday
with a brief history of Mrs. Weltmer's
work for schools in Santa Fe. 1t is but
proper to close with few words
about the other woman on the ticket
Mrs. J. ". Mayes. There has been
cry for women on the school board
and that cry is answered by the Dem
ocrats and Progressives with the nom.
inaton of two ladies who are well
known in this city and who have many
qualifications to recommend them.
Mrs. Mayes, first of all, is recon-
mended by Joint committee Of the
Santa Fe Womans club and the Wo-
mans Board of Trade. She has beeI
q teacher Of tried experience. She
was principal of school in Folsom,
Union county, New Mexico. She
taught in Texas as we'll as In this
state and holds first grade certificate
in both states. She has taught
school in all the grades and Is there
fore thorougly familiar with the prob
lens which must confront the teacher
and pupil and incidentally the school
directors who have to advise them,
Mrs. Mayes speaks Spanish finently
and enjoys wide acquaintance in
Santa Fe. She has children going to
school in this city.
Discussing the problems she sees
confronting the new school board to
be elected Tuesday Mrs. Mayes said
today:
IF | have hobby it is vocational
education. This kind of education has
been carried on here in small way
in the domestic science and manual
training departments, but hope to
see the day when there will be voca-
tional school in Santa Fe to fit pupils
for the work to which they are called.
think a great step would be taken
il this were done. If elected shall
do all In my power to further this
idea of vocational education
