For any community that is planning

ten fundamental axioms which the
United States department of ngricul-

First-That all who share i'll the
benefits of road Improvement should
share proportionately in the burdens.
Second.-That the degree of improve

PTRLIC EnTCATInN.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Our attention has been called from
time to time during the past year TO
the subject of politics in our public
schools There are other conditions
bearing upon public education which
have not as yet passed into history; :
something which would undermine the
very fundamental principle Of demo
crazy.
In Mexico city there were numerous
UNCONVENTIONAL schoOls-mostly small
missionary efforts Americans Of all
denominations quite generally ignored
these schools by sending their chill
dren 70 the American school run by the
Society Of the American Colony, there
by demonstrating their faith in the
American principle OF public, secular
education Public education is popular
today even in the far away Philippines,
where all denOminatiOnal educational
efforts combined do not amount 10 one
percentum Of what is being accom-
plished by the insular bureau Of educa-
zion
In Mexico, as an aftermath. OF the
arrogant assumptions Of the advocates
of denominational schools there arose
private schools, run by disciples Of
Ernest Renan and other French in
fidels. who assured the parents that
they would teach only the secular sub
jects and Danish everything incOmpat-
ible with science and reason These
free thinkers made great inroads upon
the eLLOELS OF the various 0enQTulrllL-
tons in the educational field " hat
would have been the effective remedy
It viii be remembered that Mexico con-
fiscated church properties in 1891. thus
converting one Of the largest converts
Of Mexico City into the National Nor
mai school Had she then declared
secular education TO be the exclusive
monopoly OF the government. that
would have corrected those evils. and
at the same time relieved churches,
missions and clergy from burdens
which are the rightful prerogatives Of
the government
See the heterogeneous multitudes Of
children OF the Ieuron, Hebrew La TIN,
Greek, Slavic and other races enter our
schools as foreigners in every sense
OF the word. Within a few years they
enter our national life Americanized-
Americans in every sense OF the word.
II is a principle Of democracy approved
by the history Of education in our
country. that children OF the various
Municipalities comingling as they do in
our public schools viii understand each
other better, will never have that fear
and distrust OF each other which is so
manifest in mOnarchical countries
where education is relegated to the
clergy. Education has ever been very
attested by reference TO Spain, Russia
and several other monarchieS where
similar conditions obtain.
The belief among Americans that the
very foundations OF our liberties and
our national unity are based in our
system OF public education Is so popu-
lar that IL admits Of no controversy.
Therefore any attempts to undermine
our educational system Imperfect
though IL may be- through political
ambitions or religious biEOtry is
promptly recognized as attempts TO IN
dermine the nation.
Respectfully.
