Teachers Reading Circle
The New Mexico Teachers Reading
Circle has producer fine results, ac
oording to a letter sent out by Chic
Clerk Rupert F. Asplund to the coun
ty superintendents and managers. Mr.
Asplund says:
Since the reading circle was start
ed the teachers have had the oppor
tunity and have taken advantage ol
it, Of reading special books on sehoo
management, pedagogy, psychology
history of New Mexico, physiology
and hygiene, geography, reading and
agriculture. The result is that teach
ers have made better grades Tor theii
certificates by having been able to dc
definite reading along these lines, the
questions in these subjects having
been based to a large extent on the
reading circle books"
Further on he adds:
Every county superintendent
should see to it that a reasonable
number Of copies of each reading cir
Gle book is kept on hand especially
at the opening Of the institute. Copies
of Roark's Method OF Education and
Reads Introductory Psychology should
be ordered direct from publishers. /

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

/
Santa Re, Marcn 1.-THE law
makes no restriction on the powers
and duties Of the county school super
intendent as member Of the board Of
education or board Of school directors
In districts in which county high
schools are located, according to an
opinion by Chief Clerk Asplund Of
the department of education transmit
ted in response to an inquiry by Su-
perintendent w. D. Cornell at Gallup.
The opinion quotes from chapter 81
laws Of 1912 as follows.
Section A, THE management and
government of each of said high
schools shall be under the control of
the board Of education or school d.
rectors of the city or district where
said school is established and main
tanned"
Section S. 'The county superin-
tendent by virtue of his office shall be
a member of said board. All mem
bers Of the board or education or
school directors, except the county
superintendent, shall be elected and
the board shall organize in the same
manner as now provided by law, ex-
cept that women qualified as provid-
ed in section l Of this act shall have
the right to vote and hold the office
of member of the board Of education
Or school director in the city or dis
trict where the county high school is
established"
The opinion continues.
Sections 8, 10 and II Of the law of
1912 deal with some of the duties Of
the board Of education or school di-
rectors OF districts where county high
schools are located, including the fol
lowing: Secure necessary site and
buildings; authorized to bond district;
add certain branches to the course Of
study; employ and discharge teach
ers regulate their salaries; and shall
have the power and authority to make
all necessary rules and regulations
and do all things for the proper man
agement and contro' of said county
high school.
We cannot find IL this law any re-
striction as to the power of the coun-
ty superintendent as member of the
board of education. 1t is the opinion
Of this office that the county supeFin-
tendent has the same powers and du-
ties as other members of the board Of
education or board OF directors of the
district in which the county high
school is located, so far as the actions
of said board concern the county high
school. 1t is further the opinion Of
this department that the county SUI
| perintendent has no voice nor vote in
regard to grades below the high school.
Any duties which a county superin-
tendent may have with reference to
the local school exist by virtue of his
office as county superintendent and
not by virtue of his membership on
the board OF education or a board Of
directors. However. when any ques-
tion concerning the county high school
or affecting it in any way is consider
ed by the board OF education or board
Of school directors, it is the opinion of
this department that the county su-
perintendent has the same right to

Indirectly this Mexican difficulty is
playing very important part in our
foreign relations. Britain's exhibition
OF friendlness and patience has Wis
libly strengthened the entente oordiale
between the two nations, and this not
withstanding the strain recently inn
posed by our inclination to disregard
the Panama treaty. President Wilson's
open determination to stand by that
treaty as a matter Of national honor,
will tend to make the repproachment
dictated on both sides by intelligent
self-interest and common honesty.
Since there are several important
questions between the United States
and Great Britain requiring solution,
such state of mutual understanding
is exceedingly fortunate, and bodies
well for a final adjustment of differ
ences, satisfactory to both sides. AS a
nation we are exceedingly sensitive
about the Monroe doctrine, the indef-
mite claims Of which are always a

that this doctrine really originated
with Cannin, the prime minister OF
England, in the early days Of this re

gested this policy to the American
minister in London He in turn
promptly forwarded the suggestion to
Washington, where its value was
quickly recognized by President Mon
roe and his cabinet. The latter's me-
morable pronouncement followed de-
claring our intentions in regard to
countries south Of us. Great Britain
has consequently been friendly to any
reasonable Interpretation Of the Mon
roe doctrine, more so than Germany
or any other European power, and her
endorsement undoubtedly strengthens
our ability to enforce it. Nevertheless

WHAT KIND OF FLOWING ARE YOU DOINe ?

A man doing modern blowing will prepare as much land for planting corn by sunset Monday as he would have prepared a few years ago, by commencing Mon day morning and blowing until sunset Saturday. Don't believe it do you say? Well, let's see. In days gone by the corn land was broken with a little coulter or bull tongue" about as broad as four of you fingers. An acre a day with that was a good days work. One blowing would not get the land in condition for planting and it had to be plowed twice before the corn Twas plant ed, and it took man and horse from Monday morning until Sat urday night to prepare three acres for planting. Now a man takes a big turn blow, goes into a field and p'ows three acres day. and he blows it a great deal deeper and pulverizes it more thoroughly than ever was done by the little

 For their disobedience General Villa ordered their arrest, but as the execution of the order would have required an army, it was not made effective. The Arrietas. however, resenting Villas action, offered their ser vices to Huerta, but experienced a change of heart before the plan was carried out.
 They reopened negotiations with Carranza. it is said, agree ing to join in the general rebel movement and to protect any civil government Carranza might install in the state. It is under the terms of this agreement that General Carranza will make his trip.

CARRANzA REFUSES TRUCE

Explains Why Mediation Will Not
 Cause Himfto Cease Fighting.
 El Paso, Texas. General Ve- nustiana Carranza has formerly declined the suggestion of the South American mediators that he cease hostilities against Huer- ta pending the outcome of the plan of mediation. His note was sent to Washington yesterday was made public here today.
 No importance is attached here to the report that rebels and Fed erals at Tampico are arranging truce. It is assumed that if true the cessations of hostilities is for the purpose of burrying the dead or removing the wounded.
 Carranza Defines Position.
 The text of General Carranza's telegram declining the armistice follows:
 l again direct myself to you for the purpose of answering your respectful message relative to the armistice calling your at tention to the fact that the inter- national conflict with the United States was Intentionally provoked | by Huerta, and for the solution of this l hurriedly accepted in principle only the good offices of 0razil, Argentine and Chile, and which act is independent of our internal strife for liberty and law, and 1 consider it inconven- tent for the rebel cause that I represent to suspend hostilities and military movements, because said suspension would only accrue to the benefit of Huerta in the civil war now going on in Mexi- co between the usurper Huerta and the Constitutionalist army under my command. The sover- eign citizenship is in arms with all activity to e-establish as soon as possible the constitutional or der which will produce peace.
 By virtue of the above, state to you that l cannot accept the armistice which you propose.
 Consider my act solely as one who Is acting with the determi nation of doing only what he considers best for the interests of his native country"
 Carranza to Visit Durango.
 General Carranza shortly after lis arrival at Torreon next week | expects to visit the city of Du- rango in the state of that name, to establish civil government. | Ihe situation there, 1t is said, has caused him much anxiety be- cause of the dominance Of the ArYieta brothers, Benjamin and | hominguez. These men have recruited 5000 or 4,000 men, an nounced their allegiance to Car ranza, but it is alleged they have i merely used the rebel banner as {. cloak for looting and outrage.

was one of the signs encountered on
entering the Utility Poultry Show
held by the Poultry department of the
Oregon Agricultural college recently.
Professor James Dryden thus ex-
pressed his estimate of the value of
mongrel fowls. He has resorted to a
limited and scientific use of cross
breeding in his work of developing a
new variety, but the mongrels are
different considerations.
Don't use immature stock" was
the next sign displayed at the show.
Both size and vitality are affected un-

in egg-laying.
Don't start too big" came next.
No amount of knowledge and enthusi-
asm can make up for lack of expert
ence, and mistakes are sure to be
made in the beginning. If the begin
ming is on a large scale, some of these
mistakes will prove very serious.
Therefore, they should be made with
only few fowls. When the business
mas grown the mistakes can be
avoided.

LITTLE Jim WAS INTERESTED
Not In Wonderful Deeds Of Hero In
Story Teacher Was Reading, But
In Her Crooked Tooth.

You could have heard pin drop In
the kindergarten that morning. Miss
Mary was telling a story to be true,
but all was SO quiet that even her
voice had taken on subdued tone.
Jimmie was sitting next to Miss
Mary. and in addition to Jimmie there
were A other children in the morning

1t might have been an accident that
Jimmie sat there Again. 1t might
have been a scheme worked my Miss
Mary herself, for Jimmie never lis
tened to stories.
Acrobatic performances, such as
using only one leg of chair, pinching
his neighbor unawares, or tying the
plat of the little girl next to him to
the back Of her chair, were all more
desirable forms of entertainment. ac-
cording to Jimmie's idea. In the
aforementioned chair he at least
seemed safer, and there '-as bare
chance that he would listen.
"Ah," thought Miss Mary, II have
found the kind of stories that appeals
to Jimmie. He likes this because the
hero so bravely. overcomes grave diff
ficulties. The high ideals held up have
aroused him. must be careful to
choose this sort of story in the fu-
ture."
She grew more dramatic as she con-
tinued, and the children more tense.
She felt Jimmie's eyes fastened on her
face, and knew that he sat motionless
as he watched her. Could 1t be possi-
BILE that this, was to be the turning
point Of her career with him? Up to
this time he had seemed a hopeless
case. She felt eager to reach the end.
for surely she would get some inter-
esting response. Never had she seen
Jimmie so interested, and she believed
he would express himself about the
story.
She had become so tense herself in
her interest that there was an audible
sound all around the circle as she said
the last word. Then. oh Joy, Jimmie
was going to speak. What would 1t
be? Perhaps a resolution to be like

he really said:
