ATTEND SCHOOL or
FATHER LOSES JOB

Picacho school probably is the only
educational institution in the valley
which boasts an attendance composed
entirely of Mexican children. As a
close second comes Laguna school in
the same district, which has only one
white child among the 80 scholars who
attend the school. The remainder are
MeXicans. At each school the facul-
ty is composed of only one teacher.
Education at Laguna not only is
on opportunity, but is a vital neces-
sity--if the fathers of the children,
employed in government work, wish to
retain their positions.
Placards which display TO Mexican
parents the necessity of compelling
their children to avail themselves oe
Imperial county's generous school sys-
tenn are posted in conspicuous places.
And the rule is rigidly enforced.
Mexican fathers who are lax enough
to permit their children to remain
away from school are notified that
their positions have been declared va

. And the rule is working with benef-
cent results, according to A. p. Shib-
ley, county superintendent of schools,
who returned yesterday from visit

that a religious motive actuated the

of his assault has been under the care

rowed the animal for the purpose of
riding to Brawley and on the return
trip met friend on the road Bau-
bin allowed the horse to browse on
the greenery by the side of the road
while he exchanged pleasantries with
his friend.
Meanwhile the horse took advan-
tage of his freedom and galloped from
the ken of his rider. Baubin returned
TO Calipatria and notified the owner
of the ANIMAL that the horse had es-
capped with the result that warrant
charging grand larceny was sworn
out. This, however, will be changed

Mary Ferguson, who paid 1925 to the
city after she had been convicted of
selling liquor. The fines collected du-
ring January amounted to S78, while
those collected during March are near
ly triple that amount.
During the 3 months upon which
the audit is based the income to the
city from water rentals, construction
and material are greater than the
taxes collected during that time. The
taxes are slightly less than $4,000.
while the revenue from the water de-
partment is $4,000 in excess of that
amount.

has yielded for expenses $6,23S.24 and
