ters in the report are the letters from
school authorities as to the value of
the kindergarten. Contrary to the
general opinion. all school authorities
do not favor kindergartens. Some
have had unfortunate experience with
poor teachers. A capable kindergart-
ell teacher is harder to find than a
capable primary or high school
teacher.
If for any reason the United States
is forced to take over the whole prob
lem of establishing
A Troublesome stable and fit gov
Job. ernment for that un-
happy country it will
not be any easy task nor a profitable
one. From a military standpoint the
work should not be hard. Our regu-
lar army together with the national
guard regiments would very likely be
able to take care of the matter with
out call for volunteer regiments.
But after taking 1'exico our work
would only be started. The difficult
ties would be in connection with the
establishment of a constitutional gov
ernment and in the upbuilding of
schools and other institutions essen
tial in democracy. For centuries
the common people Of Mexico have
been neglected and degraded. The
war between the forces of Villa and
Huerta has been to a large extent a
class war. It has been the uprising
Of the poems against the aristocracy
This has been shown by Villas hatred
of the Spanish. On that aspect Of the
Mexican situation the Atlanta Consti-
tuition has commented as follows:
THE wholesale deportation Of Span.
iards from chihuahua and Torreon by
Villa reflects the reaction from more
than century of tragedy and op-
preston. Villa explains his course by
saying that Spaniards represent to
the poems the long regime of tyranny
by which they have been held in
bondage to wealthy landowners, de-
prived Of educational advantages,
their family life often made a mock
cry, and their existence degraded into
a monotonous round of physical
drudgery.
VILLAS army is largely recruited
from this downtrodden class. 1t lie
not strange that when they reduce
cities and provinces they should let
down the bars Of their resentment
against the men associated in their
with the role of merciless task
masters.
Not all OF the wealthy men In Mex
leo, whether the 'hachiendados' or
planters. or those engaged in finance
and industry, are pure Spanish. There
Is an admixture Of native blood in the
veins of many Of them. But 1t seems
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-04-24

Villas declaration as to the atti-
tude he will take regarding American
operations in Mexico
More Like 1t. sounds more sensible.
He seems to have
some appreciation OF our sincerity and
good will and the news is welcome
because from a fighting standpoint
villa is the handspring Of the consti-
-utionalist cause. Whatever else he
may be he is brave and capable SOL
dier as has been shown by his con-
tinuous string of victories over the
Huerta forces. With Villa willing to
acquiesce In our course there win be
no general war with Mexico regard
less OF what Carranza may think. II
the attitude expressed by Villa is con-
tinued by the rebels the American
problem will be made far easier.

chance for any call for VOLUNTEER regi-

war with the Mexi-
cans. A United Press dispatch yes
terday stated no such regiments will
be considered by the government.
This is as anticipated by those familiar
with the status of affairs. The logical
thing will be to recruit the guard reg
iments to war footing and to make use
Mexico. BY filling the guard regi-
ments and combining that force with
the regulars over 100000 soldiers
could be secured. 1t would seemingly
be sufficient for the purpose.
Therefore local boys who wish to
see service will do well to enlist with
the Third Oregon and not wait for
volunteer command though of course
some rough riders might be asked
for. incidentally the man with an
equipped and disciplined organization
like the regulars or the guard will
have more chance to see service and
a better chance for a happy life. A
rawly recruited regiment under green
officers Is not an efficient military
machine nor is it any place for per-
sonal comfort not to mention the fact
the war might be finished before 1t
had learned how to turn around.

Local members of the Parent Teach
ers' associations will find interest in
a bulletin issued by
Growth. of the the department of
education on the sub
ject Of "Kindergart-
ems in the United Etates."
Unlike most public documents,
women, especially mothers, will find
it attractive, as its pages are bright
ened by a number of photographs Of
children enjoying kindergarten train
ing.
The report shows that within the
decade from 1909 to 1912 the number
of kindergartens in the United States
increased from 3244 to 1857 and the
number Of children enrolled in those
reporting to the bureau increased
from 205,532 to 453,546, gain Of 1873
per cent in the number Of kindergar-
tens and of 72 per cent in the number
of children reported. There was 1856
Kindergarten teachers in 1912.
