set an example to the entire state, uc-
cording 10 Miss Mancttc Myers, super
visor of manual training In New Mex
leo, who has just returned from n tour
of Otcro county schools when SUI
perlntendent Upton and | arrived at
Newman, we found one OF the school
directors and the school teacher play
Ing croquet with one of the pupils and
his mother That is typical OF the So
eiul spirit that pervades the small
community. The onc-room school
house is made the social center and "
used not merely five hours a day, five
days week, five months a year, but
every hour of the day, every day In the
week and every week In the year"
A school library has been provided
fIom the proceeds OF entertainments
land the books are available to the
children not only during school times
but TO the entire community AT all
times. for Newman does not believe
In public library that Is open only
Ia few days. II isn't afraid. either. that
II books are used they might
spread contagion. an argument ad-
vanccd In the last legislature against
travelling libraries or libraries In gem

sten IN advance that must still be
learned by the wealthy and populous

H. Hickey of the Albuquerque school
hoard. during the educational conven-
tion. no business man would think Of
investing the vast sum In schools and
equipment that New Mexico IL invest-
ing and then only keep open few

Miss Myers found much more to
praise In the Otcro county schools.

respondents In northern France, who
anticipate general advance by the

alton is fraught with the greatest dam
ger TO the civilian population of the
towns occupied by the Germans The
sympathies OF the civilians, the corre-

them TO attempt to assist the allies,
thereby compelling the Germans 20
take severe measures for their self
protection.
Such situation in fact arose
around Roulers last week. according
to the correspondent of the Daily Ex-
press who says, when the allies at
tackled Roulers. the Germans learned
that civilians were aiding the allies
by messages and signals, whereupon
they warned the inhabitants that the
town would be destroyed and every in
habitant killed unless neutrality was
maintained.
Roulers was evacuated too hastily
TO enable the Germans to carry out
their threats. although the populace.
openly hostile. began shooting at the
retreating Germans from cellars and
killed struggling Germans with pitch
forks and other weapons"

Mr., Thompson was somewhat dlsap-
pointed In the architecture of the

praised the Idea but declared IN car-

the whole appears TO be machine
made, that 1t lacked the intimate.
