and adaptability is illustrated by the
rppor today from Mrs. Wallace L.

of Lincoln county, to Miss Manette A.
Myers, supervisor of industrial in
struction for New Mexico. George E.
Cardwell. teacher at the mining camp
Of Nogal, writes, for instance:
"a crowded. one-room, rural school,
most of the grades being represented,

ers well has been induced by myself

week, patching. darning. mending, be-
sides the ornamental work. The boys

teacher to be successful should pos
sess, to give not only five hours but
eight and ten hours q day and six days

is illustrated By the report Of Mrs
S. II. Nickels at Parsons, who also

TO the environment in which the
school is situated. She writes: I'VE
did some sewing and cooking and
much paper weaving, -pricking,

for language work. The sewing was
done in spare times. | always take

Installed a Museum.
The museum idea applied in the
school room is emphasized by Miss
Ida Schimpff, of Carrizozo, where in
the seventh and eighth grades she mas
installed a museum which consists OF
plant, animal and mineral specimens.
1t has been a pleasing and instructive
feature. The plant collection includes
such specimens as the various va
reties of evergreen found near, pine
cones, holly, mistletoe, Christs thorn
wood. palm stems, various nuts,
twigs of oranges, cotton, etc. The ami
NAL specimens include tarantulas'

East Las Vegas, n NJ, March 90
Using strip of bed sheetlng. Mrs.
Anna Clcvenger a homicidal maniac,
early this morning ended her own life
by hanging in the state insane asylum.
The act was the elimination of one of
the most terrible tragedies ever en-
acted in Las Vegas.
Tearing the strip of bed sheetlng
from her bed, Mrs Clevenger tied one
end to the heavy wire grating outside
her window, and then, jumping from
a chair, was stranglcd to death. The
distance allowed for the tying of the
lmprOvised rope showed clearly that
Mrs Clevenger had carefully planned
TO commit suicide in this manner. as
her feet were barely off the floor

Killed Her Children.
During the early part of last No
vember the people of Las Vegas were
shocked beyond expression when Mrs.
Clevenger suddenly became violently
insane and shot and killed her two
little children, Madeline, aged 9, ana
Louis aged T, and then turned the
weapon on herself, inflicting Sc
rious but not fatal wound. lmme-
diately after her recovery she was
committed to the insane asylum since
her confinement in the asylum she
has repeatedly expressed the desire TO
Kill another daughter. Charlotte, who
was in Chicago at the time OF the
tragedy last fall.
Yesterday Mrs. Clevenger pleaded
with the officials Of the asylum to al
low her daughter Charlotte to spend
the nights with her in her room, say
ing that she would then be happy ana
that the little girl could easily make
the trip back to the city each morn
ing i'm time to get to school. 1t IS De

A number of letters addressed to
relatives and to her daughter, CHAR
lotte. we're found by the officials OF
the asylum this morning in her
room. The letter TO her daughter was
particularly pathetic II Is said that
she frequently wrote threatening let
tiers to her husband. Joseph eleven
ger a locomotive engineer employed
bv the Satna ZEE railroad running be-
tween Las Vegas and Albuquerque.
No final note was addressed to her
husband.
Due to the fact that it was known
! that Mrs. CleVenger had a homicidal
mania and that she had threatened
to kill herself, the officials who MADE
the investigation this morning de-
clared that "better precautions should
| have been taken" The sheets used on
