is attended every night by the grown
persons of the institution.
Strangely modern seem the type
writer's in one of the classrooms. The
music room is beautifully decorated
with fret work of Tyres, mandolins,
banjos, violins and horns. Its large
windows look out upon garden,
where even in January, callas, pop
pies, daisies, geraniums, nasturtiums
and other flowers are blooming.
Formerly the children were divided
into. families, matron having charge
of eight. or ten, with a menage of
her own, independent of the rest Of
the college. She had kitchen, par
lor, small office and bedroom, and
did the marketing herself, receiving
the money from the ''rectora" and
giving in an exact account at the
end of each week She and her chill
dren were expected to attend to all
tEelr nOuSenOlu OutleS.
There were from forty to fifty such
families in the school, each with its
responsible mother, usually a Biscay-
an widow In the old days only read
ing, writing and arithmetic were
taught in the school course. The
girls were instructed in needlework,
ranging from plain sewing to the
most elaborate embroidery.
All this is now changed. The pu-
pills form one large family. They do
their own washing and ironing and
keep the dormitories clean, but SER
wants do the other work.
There are usually about 500 girls in
the college. OF these 100 are free
pupils. About forty-five teachers are
usually employed, some of them hay-
ing grown up in the school. One of
the statutes of the school declared
that a girl shall not be obliged TO
leave upon the completion of her edit
cation, but may remain for life, II
she chooses. thus there are some

In the primary and intermediates
departments the course of study is
the same as in the public schools
while in the departments of 'fdio-
mas, oficios, arts and empleos" are
taught bookkeeping, stenography,
typewriting, telegraphy. English,
French, music, painting, lace-making,
embroidery and dressmaking. 1t is

girls to become self-supporting.
The college mas an income of about
$4,000 a year, $4,000 being realized
from rents paid for shops and dwell
ings on the ground floor occupied by
outside tenants. The colonial govern
ment took as a loan $503,O00 of the
college funds, but the Mexican con-
gress of 1924 recognized and assumed
that indebtedness. Afterward the
government of independent Mexico
borrowed $115,000, so that the state

MEXIco's SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
One OF the Oldest Educational Inst
tutons in America.

tutions in America.
One of the Oldest educational insti-
tutions for girls Oh the continent is
in the City OF Mexico. 1t is the Col
egio de la Paz, or as it is more COM
monty called, Colegio de las Visca-
mas.
The institution was opened in 1867
and has survived many changes of
government. 1t was founded by three
wealthy Spaniards, who saw the
need for educating the children of the
poorer classes. They began work
upon the building in 1892; through
their decision that the college should
not be under the control of the church
they encountered great opposition.
They resisted the church authority
for thirty four years, and finally
decided to burn the building rather
than plan the Institution within the
power of the church. 1t had stood
idle and empty for sixteen years.
When they were about to carry
out their threat in 1866 they were no
titled by Pope Clement XIII and
Charles III of Spain, that charters
had been granted by which the IN
dependent character of the institu-
tion was recognized. On September
s, 1867, the college was opened by
the viceroy of Mexico and men of rank
Notwithstanding their fight for indie
pendence, the founders were devoted
Catholics, and they named the school
the Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola
This name is still be be seen on a
plate at the main entrance, but it
was changed to Colegio de la Paz
when Comonfort was president of
Mexico, in honor of his daughter.
Modelled after the royal palace of
Madrid, the building occupies almost
five acres and cost S1,O00O00. All
of the outer wall is of the beautiful
tezontle, stone dark red in color,
with brown-stone trimmings. Many
OF the walls are a yard or more in
thickness and the cement is harder
than the rock used
There are seven patios, or court
yards, the immense central court
being surrounded by eighty large ar
ches. The wide corridor both up
stairs and down, is pleasant place
for study and recreation. Over one
stairway rises a Moorish dome light
ed by quaint, oval windows On the
wall above the first landing is painted
in scarlet letters this declaration of
independence:
with the object Of affirming the
perpetual position and ownership of
the college, the capital with which
it is maintained was collected exclus-
lively among the Spanish Riscayans,
without any offering from their Euro
pean or American compatriots; and
the opening of the college was delay
ed for sixteen years, until it's total
independence from civil and ecclesi
astical jurisdiction was obtained"
Above the opposite side of the
building rises a framework to which
are fastened mellow sounding bells
Beyond is the dome of the chapel.
A door opens from the corridor of the
second story inio galley which eX-
tends out into the chapel and is
entirely encased by a screen of carved
wood, no one below being able to see
who is within the gallery. A smaller
gallery, much more simply adorned,

been vacant for a year. The board is
not unanimous on the matter, but
there is every probability that in Sc
lecting a director for the experiment
station they will choose man who
will also be at the head of the farm
demonstration work for both the state
and the government, thus doing away
with duplication of effort that has
been the case in this work here for
some time.
1t is understood to be the plan of
Frank Gault of Geary, a member who
is determined that the work of promot-
ing agricultural education in Oklaho-
ma shall be accomplished along the
best possible lines, to unite the farm
demonstration work of both the state
and federal departments of agricul-
ture, thus accomplishing economics
and increasing efficiency.
Bentley Slated FOR Post
The man slated to be director of
the experiment station and head of the
united farm demonstration work in
the state is w. D. Bentley, federal
demonstration agent for Oklahoma.
Mr.. Bentley has made a noteworthy
success of his demonstration work and
is fitted for the post suggested. He has
the backing of the federal department
of agriculture for the post.
By consolidating the work, as ad-
vocated by Mr. Gault, which, it is un-
derstood, is agreed to by Mr. Renfro
and Mr.. Darby and perhaps by other
members of the board, the farm de-
monstration bureau of the state will
be merged into the experiment station
work. This will probably save the
state a sum of approximately $4,000
year.
The farm demonstration department
has cost as high as $4,000 year and
as low as $500. The appropriation
for the current year was the latter
sum. Expenditures were made on the
theory that salaries in the farm de.
monstration bureau could be paid out
of the salary fund of the department.
Under a decision of the courts this
was declared to be illegal Consequent
ly, the farm demonstration bureau of
the state has been out of business for
several months. If the plans that are
being favorably considered by Mr..
Gault and other members of the board
shall be adopted, the bureau may not
be re-established.

there. But events prove incontestably
that the Germans repulsed the Belgian
