the Friday gathering, the teachers had patiently az
ranged exhibits of school work in the different
but there were few to look at them.
The work of these children, who enter the school
speaking not word of English, and have to learn
the language while they learn the rest Of the things
Is nothing short of marvellous The school work is all
carried in English from the beginning, and It may
be imagined what troubles the little American children
would have if all tlseir school work and intercourse
with the teachers had to be carried IN Spanish.
Much Of the written composition work of the chill
dren IN the fourth and fifth grades in the Aoy school,
IN English would compare exceently with the work
IN the same grades Of any school in the city. The
writing is extraordinarily good. Whole average
95 to go percent perfect spelling for weeks at
time.
One detail that is specially attractive is the free
hand color drawing in the art classes. Take dozen
children give them peach blossom spray to picture
in color, and what they viii do with It. These
little children ranging in age from 10 to IS, make
exceedingly clever works of art with their fIeehand
stiffness, artfciaity, and the dull impulse to copy
rather than to interpret
Many Of the little girls among the hundreds who
took part in the demonstration made their own pretty
white 1Ocks-made them as part of their school work
They not commonplace and not all fashioned after
one pattern. They showed originality and some idea
Of simple beauty They festive with lace and
ribbon, but the whole simple and appropriate Some
Of the children make Of their school and holiday
clothes, and undertaking, and trim their own hats
One teacher who had come to FL Paso from

the people in this city who have glimpse Of
the vision these teachers have, Of the possibilities
down, there.
The Herald might go indefinitely about Chihua-
hutas need and the opportunity. 1t is topic that The
Herald regards paramount all others in this
munity. The thing that impresses most whenever
consider the situation down there in detail IS the fear
full continual waste of good material and waste Of ire
mendous human forces that ought TO be directing
and utilizing.
What to do? First, let FL Paso make up its mind
to invest not less than S25OOOOdown there the next
two years in school and social center facilities. At
least two better three blocks of ground should be
had about where the old Aoy school stands. Here
should be erected suitable group Of buildings archi
tecturaly in keeping and adapted to q variety Of
purposes.
There should be plenty of school rooms, an audi
forum, shops, industrial training rooms gymnasums,
rooms for Clinic rooms for physical examination,
complete and adequate Fairgrounds, baths, swimming
pools, library and reading room, and all the other
appurtenances Of modern social center combined with
school There should be provision for mothers
ngs and for Of infants and for the sports and
recreation of grown youths and adult and women,
as well as the ordinary school facilities.
The effort should be to centraze here all the social
work among the population of Chihuahua, and all
the school work. except that of the lowest grades
could still be conducted in other localities.
It is a big problem-the biggest before us-and there
is no sense IN going at it in half considered way
Not one should be invested down there except in
conformity with such general comprehensive, and
permanent plan
