ARE YOU A PoRcuPINE?

The Loyal Order of Porcupines is a
new movement just starting in Cali
fornia, by the Hon. Lyman j. Gage
former secretary of the treasury. There
is no mystery, no initiation fee, and no
ceremony, and yet it has caught the
public fancy and is growing by leaps
and bounds, and is spreading all over
the country, wherever people live who
are loyal to our country and its flag.
The porcupine is the only animal
that never bites any one and yet is
never bitten. Its myriad quilts are its
protection, and all other animals give
it a wide berth.
Mr.. Gage would have the United
States in the position of the porcupine:
so surrounded and girded by quilts
of defense that no foreign nation would
care to invade these peaceful shores.
He would not have great standing
army, nor would he have us bristle
With the curse of aggressive militarism;
but he would have every loyal citizen
possess the rudiments of military
knowledge, and when the time comes
we may be in a position to hurl the
invader into the seas and give adequate
protection to our homes and our wealth.
Like the porcupine, we are a peace
loving people and ask only to be left
alone to pursue our honorable course
to the end.
Are you porcupine? Say Eyes"

According to State Superintendent
|of Public Education T. H. Harris, the
agricultural extension work in Louis
lana is beginning to be fruitful of good
results. Mr. Harris makes frequent
trips over the State and is a close
observer of rural conditions. Better
farming methods, better homes and
better roads, as well as better schools,
are In evidence, he says, and he at
tributes much Of this Improvement to
the influence Of the extension move
ment.

doubled, instead Of increased by third or half as
present plans contemplate
There is mighty little use daying with this problem
continually. FL Paso may well face It and face It
squarely and keep up with her growth after the mini
mum standard shall have been reached II Is folly
to let things slide they have slid IN the past It
simply that the day Of reckoning IS put of
little while, and that the settlement comes suddenly
and with a big shock when it comes.
In what The Herald is saying, and has said in the

stood that there is any intention to dsredt the efforts
Of the school board and city councils to keep up with
the need They have done the best they could do with
the funds available. The whole city Is responsible
It is question of money, money, money II cannot
be expected Of any body Of IN official position
that they shall accomplish the impossible a given
number Of dollars viii 60 just lar in building school
houses, acquiring sites for the future and paying
teachers Beyond certain point it cannot be stretched
The school authorities, including teachers and Prin-
cipal have done remarkably efficient work IN stretch
ing the inadequate facilities and funds as far as they
have stretched them. you don't believe II, visit
any one Of the schools especially the high school and
the schools the south side, and how wretchedly
crowded and hurried and harassed they all the time
No business man claiming a moderate degree OF
intelligence would expect to accomplish anything under
such conditions Of labor and production We citizens
Of FL Paso have imposed on the men and women who
serve IN public schools.
We have ourselves alone to blame, and there IS no
sense in trying to shift the responsibility to other
shoulders.
So the s5oo,ooO bond issue IS absolutely the mini
mum that ought to be asked for and allowed at this
time It ought to be voted by unanimous vote, and
the sooner the better. The money viii be well and
wisely spent so far as it goes

will put a stop for long school bond issues. There

El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-03-24

This is the first time IN history that an FL Psso
school board has officially admitted that there were
1858 children OF school age not enrolled in public schools
n this city-whch approximately 5000 not en-
rolled in any school.
The admission alone, in an official document, is
almost worth $500 OOo-men have paid than that
at different periods in the worlds history to bring
themselves face to face with terrifying fact
At the time the school board recently asked for
$4,000 bonds, this being estimate Of 100000 for
continuing rhe high school and $4,000 for Alta VISTA
The Herald expressed its conviction that if this were
to be the to.al available for schools then the high
school building should be stopped with the foundations
until something fairly adequate could be done for
Chihuahuita where live most Of the 5000 who not
enrO.ed N any school
This position was taken with due regard for the
interests of the high school and grammar grades which
The Herald has always championed; but It was per
fectly clear then, II Is now that paramount
importance attaches to the elementary school problem
after al-the matter of providing facilities to afford
to every child Of school age at least few years Of
elementary schooling Never-not once in our whole
history-hss El Pasos school plant been adequate to
this seemingly fundamental requirement
The Herald has from time to time told Of the pro
vision made in other progressive cities for high schools
manual and vocational training, and on, at costs
ranging far higher than E Paso proposes 20 at this
s35OOO to complete the high school, in addition to the
contract in Of fulfment Probably the high
school viii have cost, when completed, IN excess Of
$4,000, possibly S550OO0. The amount does not
coed by ST the requirements of the present and the
immediate future. It IS necessary and urgent. But
this is not the end Of FL Paso's responsibility.
The Herald fully appreciates that the school board
has gone far this time seemed practical IN asking
for only $4,000 bond ISSUE but the less the
$4,000 estimated to be used out of the bond proceeds
the purchase of site and the erection Of building
Chhuahuita is very inadequate. Financial consdera

= people must not even delude themselves into
thinking that 1t is enough but 1t to be about

The position subject to any change by reason
doesn't matter who sits in the seats of the mghty-the
money must be had Just the same. It Of those
urgent calls that come every now and then that must
be answered whether or no. and answered right.
The schools of FL Paso have been skimped too long,
and now the lack must be made up rather suddenly
and in bulk for several years to come running While
other departments Of city building have been drawing
their share Of bond public support the public
schools have had to take short rations The Herald
VIII burden readers with history and statistics of
this neglect but everybody knows that expansion of
school facilities practically stopped ten years ago with
the building of several fair sized buildings now very
mich out Of date, and that new construction since
that time has hardly begun to keep pace with the
growing needs Of the schools.
Saturday last tn school board presented petition
TO the city council for $4,000 bond issue for school
purposes It is 10 be hoped that every e PasO citizen
read that petition and accompanying report in the
Weekend Herald, since It covered the ground force
fully and cOnvincngIy, though briefly For one thing
not only corOborated in detail everything The Herald
has been saying for great many years about made
quate school facilities but It went The Herald several
better.
