MOST OG THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS IN SESSION

Most of the public schools of Fre-
mont county opened last Tuesday
morning and are returning gratifying
reports to the county superintendent
as to the enrolment of pupils and
prospects for the years work.
The school census taken last Febfu-
AIRY showed 1868 children in the coun-
ty of school age. which was slightly
less than that of the previous year.
During the last six months. however.
no less than seventy unenumerated
school children have been reported
from Coal Creek district alone and
sections also show a considerable in
crease. which will bring the number
of school children in the county up
to approximately $1,000. the largest
ever recorded.
The greater number of the schools
in Fremont county have terms of
eight and nine months. in fact. there
are only two winter schools that have
terms Of six months. There are fifty.
six school buildings nthe county and
$50 teachers

THE MOBILIZATION
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

Canon City on Tuesday. in common
with thousands of other communities
throughout the land, began the mobil
zation Of its school children for edu-
cational purposes.
There are in the United States
something like 10000 900 persons of
school age and all over the country
they are being organized for the
school year campaign Although the
mobilization OF this army of young
co.ile has been begun. it can hardly
&C completed before the middle of
sesteabe- on account of the great
t-zl1 it imposes upon instructors and
school authorities.
If the country is going into pre-
paredness with thoroughness. one OF
the places to begin the work is with
tho school childrenA and the high
school and college students. While
many people are not quite ready to
agree that military preparedness is
the great essential at this time. no
doubt can be entertained whatever
as to the value of preparedness for
good citizenship.

TIA JuAnA, OLD MEXICO
By Hsfbsrt Mas

The visitor to the Panama-Califor-
mia exposition at San Diego will find
It quite an interesting experience to
take little trip TO Tia Juana. Old
Mexico. about eighteen miles from
San Diego.
The town is typical Mexican vii
iage, is situated upon a broiling plain,
away from any means of transporta-
tion save a dinky. dirty little railway
which stops at the border line be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
which is about a mile distant from
the town OF Tia Juana.
Unless the traveller watches his
money very closely he is liable 10
leave much more of it in Mexico than
he bargained for, as there are skin
games" OF every type imaginable on
all sides. One cannot look at any
angle where suggestions of vice. gam.
bling and evil doing of every descrip-
tion may not be witnessed.
They hold a fair about six months
out of the year, where almost ev-
cry gambling device in existence finds
a place. Among these an occasional
attraction with a huge obscene pos
ter may be found. These games OF
chance and attractions are. almost
without exception. managed or owned
by Americans.
There is fort there. used during
the revolution. the walls of which
are dotted with Mexican guards in
broad sombreros. who watch over a
number OF Americans, put in without
trial over some small offense
All Of these things, seasoned with
an occasional bull or cock fight, are
about all that keep Tia Juana on the
map. Many tourists in southern Cali
fornia go just to say that they have
been in Mexico.

Although Representative Slayden lost
his ngnt In the house for the official sub
stirutlon of the word shed for hangar
and the word "airplane" for "aeroplane"
in the language OF the army appropri-
alton bill, he nevertheless expressed a
general sentiment in favor of a simpler
form of aviation nomenclature. Already
the word "airplane' is in general use in
distinction from "aeroplane," being quite
as graphic in its significance and of
easier pronunciation. The word hangar
mas never appealed to the American
fancy. 1t has no individual significance.
III has TO be explained to many people.
Of course, in time, If persisted in the
word will impress itself upon the Ameri-
can mind and gain a loagment in the
language, but meanwhile there is a native
sohoness Tor the old-fashioned word
sned All Americans know what a
shed is. 1t is a place of shelter, a place
of storage. No one could ever mistake
the meaning of shed when used in con-
nection with aviation. Mr.. Slayden should
continue in his effort to put the Language
of aviation upon strictly American basis.
