Educational Institutions Of
City and County,

II Is now we'll recognized that the
worth of any community Is measured
In exact proportion to the extent OF
its advancement In educational lines.
4 town. a county a state or nation
Is rated, in the last analysis by th'
progress 1t has made In educating its
children. The thing is too simple
to require any argument, When you
see people alive to the necessity of
education YOU see q great people.
When yon see a people indifferent to
that necessity you know at once that
there Is little to be hoped for from
that community.
What has Albuquerque to offer
the visitor" That, of course Is the
first question that presents itself 10
the mind of anyone thinking of To-
eating in the city There are many
things that Albuquerque mas to offer.
most of which have already been re-
ferred 10 on other pages OF this edi-
ton. In any and every walk ana
spnere of life. Albuquerque has some
thing TO attract and interest the new
conner Factories. business houses,
churches. social diversion-all the
multitudinous things that go to make
up the complex life OF the present DAY
are here In abundance.
But the greatest OF these is schools.
The citizen worth while--the citizen
that Albuquerque is trying with all
her might to attract to her doors and
to make part and parcel of her life

but brings with him his family. The

city schools, and Atanasio Monioya,

working along different lines and az

was when the 'dobe shack was the
highest expression of the educational
ideals of a primitive people. Time was
when ii wasn't absolutely essential in
New Mexico that school teacher
should have any education to speak
of. There was a day when the
schools were in politics and when the
education OF the child was consider
ed of less importance than providing
a Job for some man or woman who
had "pulr' and who would fit into
a school with less friction than in any
other position to which a salary WAS
attached.
OF course il has been a long time
since any such conditions prevailed in
Albuquerque. or for that matter IN

Superintendent Montoya's chief
task consisted in convincing the pco-
