A CHANGE IN THE
EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM
SEVERAL 4 STATE INSTITUTIONS
MAY BE ABOLISHED BY NEXT
LEGISLATURE

Santa re, May 4.-There are quite
number Of candidates already in the
field to succeed DR.. C. M. Light as
president Of the New Mexico Normal
school at Silver City. Among the
leading candidates are Professor Ben
nett Of the University Of Iowa, who
had been candidate some time ago
for the presidency of the University
Of New Mexico and also Of the Normal
University, Professor Barrier Of Ros-
well and Professor Taylor of Deming.
The controversy at Silver City has
revived the plans for the consolidation
Of New Mexico's higher institutions Of
learning. Right at the opening Of the
next legislature, these bills will be in
troduced One will provide for state
university which will absorb all Of the
other institutions. Another will pro
vide for state university and a Nor
NAL university. The third, which it Is
said, will have the backing Of the, ad-
ministration, will provide for a. uni
versity in the Rio Grande valley, q
normal university in northern New
Mexico and an institution of higher
learning in the Pecos Valley.
The fight over the bills will wage
fiereely and when it is remembered
that in the last legislature only two
votes were lacking to put over the
consolidation of New Mexico institu
tions then it will be realized that the
day is night when there win be re
alignment and redistribution in the
matter Of state institutions. The ar
gument for consolidation is economy
and efficiency, although in Kansas
Iowa. Oklahoma, the consolidation
plan is declared to have proved ;
failure. In favor of leaving the pres
ent institutions in their present status

A Strangers Visit
written by G.)

To be lost out in the wild west and
all alone is not pleasant predicament
for stranger, who had never before
invaded this part Of the world. Such
was this mans case after the end Of
the fourth days travel
The sun just settling made the
high snow peaked mountains and the
snow-like clouds look picturesque.
The stranger could not help noticing
the beautiful scenery yet wished and
hoped that he might find desirable
place for a nights lodging.
4 small house could be seen at a
distance. and having decided to go
there for help, he rode on. It was the
only house there within mile, and
the hosts, an old man and his wife,
we're so hospitable and kind that the
stranger accepted the kind invitation
to remain during the night.
After hearty supper he was usher
ed in to room which he was to occu-
py. The house was two story one,
but contained (nE two rooms. His
was to be the room up stairs and he
reached it by means of ladder.
He was restless and uneasy all
night so his sleep was not sound
one. In the wee hours of the morning
me heard the old man and his wife
Whispering He was not able to
catch amp of the words but OCCASION
ally he would hear them say "The
stranger" This frightened him so
that he could not sleep the rest Of
the night. He got up and looked
around in his small room to see if
there was any weapon or anything he
could use for defending himself in
case it would be necessary, but there
was nothing in sight In the midst Of
his thoughts and plots to escape safe
ly he heard the sharpening Of a knife
and at intervals he heard the wife say
'grhe stranger"
After the sharpening Of the knife
had ceased he saw dim candle light
ana then he heard the couple coming
Up the ladder and as they approached
his bed, he pretended to be asleep. The
old man had the long butcher knife
in his hand while his wife held the
candle. Just as the stranger was get
ting ready to grab his shoe, the old
man reached above his head--to cut
off slice of ham which hung from
the ceiling. oa8

His most carefully laid plots appear
