LITTLE INTERVIEWS

A"HE Amigo Listo' fund will
continue until the members Of
\ the destitute Mexican families
are able to secure positions through
which they can support the family"
said A. Schwartz There are many
families in FL Paso who are in dire
need OF the barest necessities OF life,
Most Of these families are refugees
brought to I'll PasO by the United
states government and then turned
loose upon E1 Paso to shift for them
selves As many Of the masculine MEM
bers of the families have been unable
to obtain employment a great many
have been in actual want The citizens
of FL Paso are entirely too humanitar-
ian to permit these people to suffer
from privation and actual starvation
And it is certain that as long as such
conditions exist as are now known to
exist that El PasOans will with their
usual liberality contribute largely to
the support Of the fund"
For the past three weeks I have
been in FL Paso" said Guy Harper, Of
Boston. Mass. Wherever I stop I take
an interest in the political situation If
there is a campaign on. L have heard
many political speeches and seen many
political campaigns at different times
in different cities. Aud I want to say
that 1 have never seen a more clearly
conducted campaign than the one being
held in FL Paso at the present time.

SCHOOLS MUST HAVE RELIEF"
(Frnm Herald. Oct. Is. 1919

First need of the public school sys-
tenn of 81 Paso is suitable provision for
the thousands of boys and girls Of
school &c in Chihuahuita who are not
attending any school, and for whom no
provision is made, either i'm school
rooms and seats. or in vocational train
ing. II this provision costs S100, 900 or
more, it must nevertheless be made, in
self defence il nothing else. The pres
ent neglect OF the Chihuahua school
problem is the cUstliest neglect Of
which Ell PasO is guilty.
Next to providing for adequate and
suitable schools, Fairgrounds social
Centers. and clinics in Chihuahuita, the
duty of the people of the city is to re-
build practically all the older school
houses in the city, make them as fire
resistant as possible, safe for the chill
dren, and sanitary; to equip them for
the work that is expected to be carried
on in them, and to provide room for
all the graded schools, without the
necessity Of having short sessions, or
Of sending children too far from their
homes.
After these things are provided for.

be entirely demolished and the land

Considerable money is needed to

from bond issues. But no plan should

ABOUT THE NEGLECTED SCOOP"
(From Herald, June 10, 1919


There is only one thing the matter
with the school boards proposal to
ask the city for d 100000 bond issue,
and that is that the proposal does not
20 far enough: no provision is made
for the 5000 children of school age now
attending no schoOl-nost OF them in
ChihuahUita.
The suggestion that a new high
school and an addition to Highland
Park school viii give ample facilities
for the next ten years is nothing short
OF astonishing. The population of Ell
PasO will more than double in that
timer and the great need viii be for
primary and intermediate schools. The
new high school will not supply this
need.
A high school is badly needed-nO-
body can deny that But with 5000
children already without schooling or
school facilities, what may be expected
to happen when El Paso is double her
present size?
As a matter of fact. is not the ade-
quate extension of the primary and
intern ediate schools more important
even than the extension Of the higher
schools?
EI Paso needs both. Ell Paso can
afford both. The next call on the
bonding power of the city is unQues-
tiOnably that of the public schools
But the plans should be broad enough

now without schooling, and for the
decent housing, care, training. and
teaching of the multitudes in Chihua-
huita now shamefully neglected.
There is something needing radical
readjUstment when some 5000 FL Paso
children between the ages of and II
are attending no school, and when no
facilities are provided for them if they
should be induced to attend school
This problem. it appears, must be
met with bond issue in connection
with the proposed new high school
Continued neglect of our Chihuahua
problem is the most costly and danger

a frightfuI economic waste.

GEL PASO SCHOOL PROBLEMS"
From Herald. Sep. Q. 1879

The new superintendent fully real
ICES that the greatest problem with
which El Paso has to deal is the prob
lem of Chihuahua. The problem is
divided into two main branches: first
sanitation and better conditions of liv
ing; second, practical education and
preparation for useful and productive
citizenship. The schools touch the
problem in all its phases, but until now
there has been no clear and full
recognition, on the part of school
authorities, of the tremendous i'm
portance of this branch OF public
service
More money is needed to give the
schools proper facilities to work with.
The first demand is to take care Of all
children of an age TO attend the
primary, intermediate, and grammar
schools The high school will have to
wait until these have been adequately
provided for and not the least part Of
the financial problem is the necessity
of providing schools that viii attract
and hold the 30e0- Spanish speaking
children now attending no school.

enemy before them and lying
down triumphantly once more in
the mud and snow.
Trench life is wasted in Europe,
particularly upon the English, who
have already learned how to live hap
PLY in unheated houses at a temper
allure of 40 with fog trimmings, but it
would be a great education and help
to millions of Americans.
After an American soldier has sur
vived campaign in a trench he would
look upon the modern street car with
more fortitude and would be able to
hang onto the roof during the rush
hours in January or stand on the slush
covered floor in perfect comfort. He
might even be able to live in a city flat
building operated by a janitor's union
without murmur or complaint.

GEL PASO'S BIGGEST PROBLEM
Frnm Herald Inne Ia 1871

If we must choose between prOvid-
ing adequate schooling for the younger
children. with vocational training espe-
cially in the Chihuahua district and
providing modern facilities for the
high school, the former is the more
important. But it is not necessary to
choose between them. FL Paso can
afford both, and must have both.
If the proposed bond issue be not
large enough, make it larger. But
don't neglect the biggest problem El
Paso has before her today: that of
Chihuahua. Sanitation, vocational
schools. and recreation grounds, all
supplemented by constructive work in
behalf of women and children. offer the
only practical solution for permanent
results.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-02-04

the high school comes next, and ample
provision should be made for a school
plant fully equal to the best to be
found anywhere in cities of $4,000 to
100 90O with vocational features fully
provided for. The high school plant,
including the finaF payments on the
ground and the Gust Of grading and
parking, win approximate 100000 and
the amount is none too much to spend
for the purpose.

GUSHING SCHOOL BOND MONEY"
(FrOm Herald, Dec. 20, 1879

If $500. 600 be all that can be made
available this year. no part Of it should
be spent on construction work for the
high school
Part of the money should be used to
prepare the grounds for future use, and
of the remainder the greater part
of adequate school and playground
facilities in Chihuahuita, and for con-

problems of tine grade schools, manual

these things must take the precedence,
and since the city is at present unable
to issue school bonds enough to do all
the things necessary and eXpedient "a

The San Diego exposition is a great

sell Il spent several hours in the
grounds as the guest Of the San Diego
police department and while I didn't
have time to see the exhibits I saw the
grounds and they are beautiful The
site Of the exposition is located on the

the buildings cost $4,000 and are per-

1T was IS degrees below zero in
Rochester one week ago" said William
H. Mitchell. deputy sheriff from Ro-
chester. MINI. 1T was the coolest
weather of the season. Down here 1
found the weather ba1my. It was quite
a change. Ell Paso was a surprise to me.
The city, of course, has its unsightly
spots. but I was hardly prepared for
the substantial and pretty homes that
have seen in other parts Of the city
nor did expect to see 50 large and mod
ern a community. Rochester has gained
national fame as being the home of the

"The project of building an addition
to the Y. N. c. A. is one that should
meet with the approval OF every bust
ness man in the city" said c. A. Kline.
1t has been truly said that the manner
in which a community supports its
Y. N. c. A. is the best indication Of the
moral tone Of the community. When
the present building was erected it was
thought that 1t would accommodate the
needs Of the city for years to come
and the fact that it is totally In
adequate now is one Of the best iudica-
lions that could be had of the huge
growth Of the city in the last six
years
west Texas is in much better shape
financially than east Texas. said II.
H. Meiser. OF Galveston. "The eastern
part Of the state, Of course is affected
by the low price OF cotton but even
with this cause removed west Texas
and especially Ell Paso would be far
in the lead. I hear a good deal about
the heavy influx Of refugees being re-
spOnsible for the good times here and.
10 some extent, this undoubtedly is
true, bat in my opinion, the prosperity
Of Ell PssO is far more solid than that
caused by temporary influx OF mOhied
refugees"
THAT the movement for the relief

The idea of requiring all drivers OF
automobiles to pass examinations and
receive licenses to drive automobiles is
very good one and one that might
be enforced in FL Paso with much bene-
