methods. We should go a ster
farther along this line. giving opDor,
tunity for the practical, scientific
study of agriculture. In the upper
grades we should give opportunity
for the study of seed termination
with a view to good seed selection;
soil analysis, with a view to the
selection of proper crops for ce tain
soils and the manner in which to
prepare and repair the soil; life
study of weeds and smaller animals,
with a view to the control of these
for the good of agricultural pro-
ducts. Such work as this means a
financial, as we'll as a social advar-
tage, to any community.
This idea is not an imaginary
thought in the mind of the writer,
as all this has been tried with wonder
fully good results in the States of
Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, New York
and California, and is now sweeping,
with the same results, into all pro-
crossing communities.
However, it should be remembered
by all, that it is almost an impossi-
bility to hold children in school when
they look at the pupils of the eighth
grade as people who have had a
graduation" rather than a COM
mencelnent," and when they know
that those people are totally unpre-
pared for life. The thing we must
have is room to give practical educa-
tion in the grammar school, and a
high school to take these pupils and
make them socially efficient.

CAUSE OF MEXICAN WAR

was talking Sunday with an
American who makes his headquar-
ters at Guadalajara and who is an
ardent admirer of POrfrio Diaz, and
who does not care which side wins
in the present contest, says a writer
in the E Paso Times. He said:
Americans in Mexico who have
attended strictly to their own busi-
ness and have not attempted to mix
up in Mexican policies are treated
nicely by both sides.
1t is not generally understood
how this whole trouble started. A
bunch of politicians presented a bill
to congress providing that every
man must show written title to the
property he held. They explained
to General Diaz that this was only
for the purpose of establishing rec
ords to enable the tax collectors to
properly make their assessments and
to supply the government with a
correct list of the property owners
of Mexico. Being old and honest,
Diaz never suspected he was being
tricked to enable the tricksters to
rob the people, and the bill became
a law.
Then the landgrabbers began
operations in the state of Morales.
Their agents called on farmers in
the state to show title, and the farm
ers answered, We have no written
titles, but our fathers owned and
worked our farms 300 years ago.
But there are no occupation and
limitation laws in Mexico, and the
poor devils lost their lands.
Zapata's family suffered with the
rest of them, and he at once took
up arms against the government.
Then came the Madero revolution.
Madero succeeded and was elected
president and at once began
temporizing with the land. grabbers,
and Zapata refused to lay down his
arms until Madero had complied
with his promise to restore to his
people their farms. Madero was
arranging to comply with his prom
Use when the cientifcos ordered his
assassination and selected Huerta as
executioner.
"Zapata is still fighting, and he
is the man that will finally get
Huerta's goat. Influential Mexi-
cans in Guadalajara tell me that
Huerta believes Zapata is going to
get him.
There is really no excuse for
the intervention of America because
American property is not being mo-
Tested in Mexico; and l repeat that
Americans who have not mixed up
in Mexican politics are treated nice
ly by both Sides"

Prescott, at any rate, got on the
map of the big domain, but lost the
honor in after years when the capi-
tai got to going on wheels" and
Tucson clipped along the track as a
winner. But the seat Of govern
ment came back again in less than
a decade, and in 1889 it was again
shifted to Phoenix, where it seems
to be resting on a solid foundation.
1t was thus that Arizona came
into existence, and after nearly fifty
years she finally got on the flag

EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

The following report on the at
tendance and work of the Saffort
Public School, by the principal, D
NJ. Hibner, will be found of grea
interest, in that it gives a truly de
scriptive account of the needs o.
better education for our children.
Mr.. Hibner's recommendation
are good in every instance and if i
is possible to carry them out, the
patrons Of Stafford Public schoo
should be interested enough to helr
in every way TO see that this work
is accomplished.
Higher education means so much
to your children, who will be the
men and women of the future and
into whose hands we must intrust
the government of our country,
that it seems every one would be
ambitious to carry out plans that
will give higher education to the
boys and girls of today.
"Nunc pro tunc," meaning, Nov
for Then" is good motto for SAT-
ford parents to follow up, and
Principal Hibner is showing them
the way.
The report Of Principal Hibner,
Is as follows:
The following represents the at,
tendance in the Stafford Public school
for the month of December: Total
number enrolled. 2s4; average mum.
Der belonging, 264.26; average daily
attendance 246.84; per cent Of at
tendance, 91.9l. .
From the above report it may be
noted that there is still large school
enrolment which keeps the work of
nine grades, with seven teachers,
over-crowded, even with the second
grade and manual training classes
held in rented buildings. But, the
thing we note with disappointment
is that there has been a drop of
twenty-one in the total enrolment
during the past two months. This
is the vital time of the school year
a time when the work is shown in
its practical. useful setting, so that
it may become part of the pupils
life, and if this part is taken away
the detail of previous work will be
Of little value.
Parents and older pupils should
realize that the eighth grade does
not fit for an efficient social life
They should realize this, first, be,
cause the world realizes, it, and may
not give them place in the front
ranks Of progress; second, pupils in
the eighth grade should have enough
knowledge to understand their lack.
ing in education and therefore have
a desire for more.
II | may be pardoned, ! am going
TO say here, that we have in the
eighth grade Of the Stafford School,
pupils who do have a good under
standing of what they need in the
way Of education, and I wish that
they might voice their views to
every good citizen of the community.
There are many reasons why the
attendance is decreasing, but if the
school had the equipment to make
itself as efficient as 1t desires, we
feel that the drop in enrolment
would be cut to a minimum. AS II
Is, we lack time and room to meet
the demands of the individual needs.
thus there Is chance for the growth
Of non.interest. II we had room
and equipment to approach all from
the standpoint Of Stafford Communal
Life" we could make work vital to
each student and to Stafford herself,
Much could be done along this
line II we were In a position to give
an agricultural setting to work.
