School Development Of City
Of Albuquerque,

II must be remembered that with
out modern schoolhousea and up-to-
date equipment II would be imposs-
BILE to bring the educational system OF
any community up to the standard
that In required In this advanced age
No matter how good the teacher, IL
the child Is required TO sit all day Ia
a dark. stuffy. damp schoolroom,
without sufficient ventilation and
light. the result Is bad health. retard-
ed growth---a complete failure in the
whole educational plan,
For that reason IL is proper To
pause In the consideration of the cdu-
cational development Of Albuquerque
and think OF the part that the firm of
Lyon & Axtell building contractors.
have had In that development.
IL they had done nothing else. tho
fact that they built that new Albu-
querque high school would be last
ing monument to the efficiency and
ability of this firm. Educators.

after looking at the high school have
sald that no city In America uf five
times the size can boast of one as
good, as complete in every. detail Of
construction. As the years pass there
may be others built that Will be bet
ter. but not until the world itself inn
proves will there be any Improvement
upon the Albuquerque hig'n school
Public buildings are a speciality of
the firm OF Lyon a Axtasl, and every
thing that they have touched has
measured up to the sumo splendid
standard as the high school But
their work is not cor fined to this
class OF construction. The handsome
residence OF MIR. Max Nordhaus, on
West Central avenue-rhy far the most
splendid private edifiee in the city "
not in the state--is another example
OF their skill and pro gressiveness. And
so. II there were sp Ice in which to

desire, or his purse affords.
II might be asked what basic reas-
on has been responsible for the loca-
ton OF these numerous sanatorla here
and why 1000 patients visit this city
annually TO regain their health.
Primarily the one great reason Is
the glorious climate Of New Mexico,
but since this climate Is more or less
common to the whole state fhpre
must be other reasons. The chief Of
these is probably Aibuqueruuas hap-
py location in the center OF a rich. ir-
rlgated valley producing the finest OF
fruits and vegetables. together with
the fact that it Is ON the nihln line Of
the Santa Fe from California, car

II must not be thought for a mo-

looks upon the health seeker solely az
an inNestment--as somebody 10 be

is there any further room to inquire
why Albuquerque has been called
THE Heart of the Wen Country"
A Little History.
The following, from the pen of a
distinguished Albuquerque physician
who has had a leading part IN the de-
velopment Of Albuquerque az a health
center throws an interesting light on
the growth and development of the
city IN this direction:
"The fame Of the fertile Rio Grande
valley surrounding Albuquerque has
spread wherever there IL interest in
irrigation, every railroad man knows
OF our great Santa Fe shops, the lum-
her man is sure 90 know OF this city's
importance az a lumber center the
wool man can not be ignorant OF tho
important trade In that commodity at
this place, but tho reputation of this
city has spread farther and wider
through its fame as a health resort
than through any OF these.
"All of the states of the union ant
many OF the nations of the earth have
citizens here getting the benefit of
the wonderful sunshine and pure
mountain air.
Even in the days Of the Santa ice
trail, L seems that a knowledge Of the
beneficial effects of this climate must
have penetrated TO the east. since In
those early days there were few
health seekers here. but from the
building OF the Santa Re railroad In
1881 dates the real beginning of Al
buqucrque as a health resort.

culous patient who managed to get

Praise From Sir Hubert.
Coming down TO more recent times,
IL may we'll be considered praise from
Sir Hubert to have had the compli-
ments paid to this state that are con-
tained In letters written by Or. Il. l..
Trudeau and DR.. John B. Murphy. Of
Chicago. in response to Inquiries as
10 the dcsirabllity Of locating the
Moose sanatorium IA this city. Dr.
Trudeau has done more than any
other man In America TO advance the
knowledge and treatment OF tubercu-
losis TO lis present high standard. AMI
as much as any man in the world. Or.
Murphy, a surgeon OF international
reputation. has wide fame for his
work done in the treatment Of tuber-
culosis by surgical means, and Il is
worth while also to add that he him
self as young man suffered from
tuberculosis ana was cured in Alhu-
Querque.
DR.. Trudeau writes: Il think the
climate OF New Mexico Is probably the
best climate in the United States, taxi
ing everything into consideration. and
] also think that the climate Is one
Of the useful factors In the treatment
of tuberculosis, though much can be
done without It, / can not Imagine,
however. a much better place 60 build
a sanatorium than in the climate Of
New Mexico"
DR. Murphy writes AS a whole,
II Is my opinion that New Mexico NJ
fords the greatest variety Of climates
Tor the average tuberculosis case o,
any state IN the union. Its small
absence Of humidity and it's
continued SUNSHINE contribute very
to the favorable progress
Of all such cases. We are just be-
ginning TO appreciate the effect of the
actinic rays Of the sun in the repair
Of tuberculosis. My patients that
have been going to this climate for
years have had most satisfactory re-

loyal TO their town--that they root
for II In season and out OF season and
refuse to believe that there Is any
other town in all the world quite rs
good?
IL you had gotten into such a state
Of health that you had almost despair
ed OF your lifc--lf YOU were almost
looking into the valley OF the shadow
OF death--and suddenly YOU had come
TO place where everything was
changed. and where hope and life and
vigor and health took the place of
gloom and dread and dependency,
and where in addition to climate
that In itself was an elixir of life you
found hospitabe, lovable people
among whom you made more friends
and made them faster than ever be-
fore In your life--wouldn't you love
that place and those people?
That is Just the case with very
large percentage Of the people OF
Albuquerque. Coming here sick. they
have found health and renewed youth.
Coming into a strange land. they have
found warm-hearted friends. No
wonder Albuquerque people love their
town.
A Few Reasons.
II will not be amlss in an article OF
this scope TO enumerate a few of the
reasons why Albuquerque is the mec-
ca Of the invalid, and especially of
the tubercular invalid, all the year
round, from whatever part Of the
United States he may come.
In the first place, looking ut things
from the standpoint of natural adj
vantages. the altitude OF the city Is
~. Al.
not too low. Situated in the midst
of a vast mile-hlgh plateau in the
semi-arid southwest Il Is high enough
to be out Of the fog belt and low
enough to be out OF the drizzle belt.
Its glorious sunshine. averaging from
200 TO $50 days out Of the year Of
cloudless skies. Is one of the surest
cures for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis
germs can not live in sunshine. and
Albuquerque has sunshine practically
all the time. The dryness of the at
mosphere-the dryest for the altitude
In the worlds another tremendous
point in its favor. humidity being O
negligible quantity. Slushy rains In
and cold, wet SHOWS in win
ter. are unknown.
The Best of All.
And then, the best Of all things
about the natural climatic advantages
of Albuquerque is its pure air--the
purest and most health-giving to be
found elsewhere in the world.
Physicians the world over recognize
that pure air Is the most important of
all the elements that enter into the |
treatment and cure Of tuberculosis. |
Altitude Is important, as also Is sun
shine, but above all things the air
must be pure. This accounts for the /
fact that no matter how favorable an /
other conditions may be, il is never
wise to leave the tubercular patient in |
crowded city. lie must be gotten I
away from the centers where the very (
conditions tend to poison the air.
Pure air is a relative term: for
there Is no absolutely pure air: but I

Ion before referred TO. combines In
