THE WAR AND THE CHILDREN,

An interesting phase of the present
conflict IN Europe IL the effect that
II has had ON educational methods in
the United States. giving rise TO the
suggestion that has found favor In
some quarters that school children
should not be taught anything about
the war for fear OF engendering ami
mositics that had best be allayed
Certain extremists havo even gone 50
| far as To suggest that the study OF
geography In the public schools should
be lhnlied to those countries that are
not engaged Ia the war. Tor fear that
a discussion OF the very names and
localities Of those nations win bring
about strife aud bitterness among the
children.
Advocacy OF such methods in teach
INK Ia Il pitiful confession OF weak
pess ON the part OF the. teacher. and
IL is difficult to understand how any
Ireal educator can look at the matter
from this point Of Wow. There can

history Is while Il is In the making.

In social life, In business life. In
mental life. in church and soul life, we
are in perpetual danger Of getting into
ruts aud staying In them. During re-
cent years brain and nerve specialists
have been emphasizing this matter Of
ruts aud tracks in the brain. If per-
son gets to thinking about one thing
too much he will inflame and strain
the part Of his brain used to do that
thinking, and may If he does not get
out OF that ''rut," become switched off
the main track OF sane thinking. II
the mind is stuffed too full OF material
Of one kind, If II Is forced to do its work
in accordance with certain fixed prin-
lclples and rules, IL may become so
set that even IL the old principles and
rules are wrong. II is practically Inn
possible for the mind to leave the old
IDEAS and TO receive the new-found
truth.

THE CONVENTION NEXT YEAR.

Now Is the time 70 begin work "a
make tho convention OF the New
Mexico Educational association bet
ter next year than IL has been this
year. though we recognize that near
~ high water mark has been reach
ed In attendance and In the efficiency
Of the program.
There were about twelve hundred
teachers IN attendance, but the reg
Istration tany person paying one dol
lar being entitled to membership
was approximately sixteen hundred.
The extra memberships came largely
from Santa re, Las Vegas and the
citizens Of this city and county who
wanted the advantages Of attending
the meetings. Those who applied at
the door were required to pay twenty
i've cents for single meeting. which
was entirely proper unless enrolled
as member, People who wished TO
attend, soon found that II was de-
cideJ saving 10 pay one dollar for a
membership, Instead Of paying about
three dollars at the rate Of twenty
Eve cents per meeting. Those who at
tended one meeting wanted 10 attend
all % the others
The moncy thus realized, all goes
for paying the expenses OF talent for
n,xt vonr rho National Icdftcation
association usually requires city bid
ding for the meeting 70 guarantee
about ten thousand memberships in
advance. The New Mexico association
requires no such guaranteed. but all
the additional memberships that can
be secured help that much toward
making the meetings Il success the
next year. Without heavy tax upon
them. the teachers themselves could
not hope TO pay tho expenses Of men
like nrs. Craiehead and Cofiman and
a woman Of international roputa-
lion like Miss stearps.
II is now being planned by the new
president of the association, DR.
and Secretary j. H. Wag-
nor. to bring more speakers Of ma
Ilonal reputation here next year and
give the visiting teachers more to
AXE home with them for use In their
school work during the following
year.

and distribute our laws throughout
the state.
Those who have carefully estimate
this last item know that the state
can save tvo-thlrds of the printing
and cost of distribution of our school
laws by acting wisely in this matter.
We should likewise repeal all con-
flicts IN existing laws, TO enable those
who must interpret them TO do 20
with some feeling OF certainty that
their Interpretation is based on undis-
puted statutes. The Inconsistencies
that cause one man to state that "a
school board cannot legally sign a
school warrant when he knows there
Is no money In the treasury with
which TO cash that warrant; and that
same man. or another TO state that
all warrants thus written, when duly
marked No funds shall draw inter-
est not to exceed 6 per cent till paid.
and still another to state that the rate
of interest may be as much as 2 Pc.
cent, are certainly very unsatlsfac-
tory.
IL would seem from the study Ct
our present law that boards Of educa-
ton in municipalities have full con-
troll Of their finances, through the
treasurer of the municipality. He is
to receive all money collected by the
county treasurer, deposit It in some
designated bank which pays 1t out
on the order OF the board of eduea-
ton. lie is also to accept all other
money belonging to the district. At
present some boards do not know
whether the law expects the city trea-
surer to place all poll tax, tuition ami
other like incomes that naturally
come into the hands OF the city trea
surer before they get to the county
treasurer, In the county treasurer's
hands before banking 1t, or If he COM

would seem, therefore. that while the
city is by law Independent OF the
county treasurer and the county SUI
perintendent. the law implies that all

pass through the county treasurer
But why continue with examples? We

Feeding the Cows.

falsest economy ever preached. 1t takes
a certain amount of feed to maintain the
COW. Is is only that amount OF feed

milk production. For certain length
of time the poorly nOurished cow will
keep ND her milk flow at the call OF ma
ture but she will rob her system OF the
materials necessary for milk production.
If this is continued too long the COW
will run down in flesh and her health
will finally be undermined. Not only
does the COW suffer from such treatment
but her strength being undermined
makes it impossible for her to do justice
to the calves which she produces whose
feeding should begin before birth.
Young heifers should also be literally
fed to develop them properly.
The silo, alfalfa. and clover, the pnr'
chase of good by product feeding stuffs,
and the rational and liberal feeding OF
proper pro portions of the various feeds
make it possible for the dairy farmer to
increase his bank account, keep his herd
in better shape, increase his own pride
in the farm, cause tho boys to become
