President of New Mexico
Institution Urges Better
State Support.

Deming, \. NJ, July I9.-Dr. David
r. Boyd is spending a few days in Dem
ing in the interests of the state uni
yersity, of which he is president. He
urges cOgent reasons for the liberal sup
port of that Institution by the people
OF the state. One of his dollar and cents
arguments was:
There are 100 bows and girls sent
out of New Mexico every year to other
states for education 1t costs an average
of $500 each to send these boys and
girls to school. Hence, we drain $3.50, 900
out of the state each year in cold cash
which might be Just as well kept at
home. And unless the university OF
New Mexico - kept up to the standard
right along. there will be an increasing
number of students each year sent
abroad for their education, causing an
increasing drain on the resources OF. the
state.
I'VE spend money to bring citizens
into the state, why not spend a little
to keep our most useful ones at home"
DR.. Boyd has Travelled about 1000 miles
In the last year in the interests of the
university. and states that he finds the
general educational interest strong over
the state. He admits, however, that the
university of New Mexico has not been
sufficiently advertised for every New
Mexican to know its exact location.
Many new and interesting lines of work
are being taken up by the university
under Dr. BOyd's direction. For instance.
the department of university extension
has been placed in the hands of a cap
able man from the university OF Wis
eOnsin, Dr. Frank J. Laube. This de-
partment viii furnish lecturers on gen
eral educational or even technical sub
jects to any community merely for the
expense of the lecturer. making it pos
sible for any lvceum bureau to run in
an extra lecture into its course with
very little extra expense. The depart
ment has also an information bureau
which will give free of charge infOrma-
ton on any topic in the whole range
of human knowledge.
The teaching force of the university
has been materially strengthened by the
addition of professors who hold doctors
degrees from the foremost universities
of the country.
The finances of the institution have
been recognized during the past year,
and the income doubled.
