1t is never the policy ot the

tion 10 propose radical or revu

try to give expression only 10
such thoughts as seem 10 be
generally accepted by teachers
and educators in New Mexico.
At the present time considerable
attention is oeing paid 10 elcmen
tuly aud high school cirrlcula,
and two tendencies are dis
tinguishable- one in the dreC.
ton ur enrichment and the other
in the direction ol simpliticatlun
Though II may appear that these
tendencies are IN conflict, IN
reality they are not SO. BY cor.
relation oi subjects, the mum ber
of classes may be considerably
reduced-'-a result greatly To be
desired, more practicable tht
better preparation and training
our teachers have. With we'll
qualified instructors each sub
iect will be properly related Il
other branches and new subjects
may DE introduced without over
loading the course.
The simplitication 1f tn,
course will depend 10 a consider
able extent upon the kind o
text books used. From TN,
numberless texts now offered i
is possible 10 select such as vii

i" OF TT MIS- T"

Stop yer kickin' bout the times
Get a hustle on you.
Skirmish round and grab the dimes,
Ef the dollars shun you.
Croakin' never bought dress
Growln' isn't in it.
Fix your peppers on success,
Then go in to win it,
Times is eettin good again
Try to help them all you kin.
Don't sit round with hanein' lip,
That is sure to floor you.
Try TO get better grip
On the work before you.
Put some ginger in your words,
When you greet neighbor;
Throw your troubles to the birds,
Get right down to labor,
An you'll notice every day,
Things is comm right your way.
Stop your kickin get hold
OF the wheel and turn it,
You can never handle gold,
Less you try to earn it,
Brush the cobwebbS from your
eyes,
Stop your blamed repinin,
An you'll notice that your skies
Always will be shinin'
If you haven the nerve to try,
Sneak away some where and die.
