And he did stand with his back to it with
his left arm thrust through it, ever up to

hat and exlaimed: "Oh, good people, wit

in a shooting cracker factory. Aims, for the

And no one needed him, and his empty
hat remained so.
So bug the Beggar thrust his right leg
through the hole and exclaimed thuswiae:
l"Oh, elegant people. behold Il man who hath
had his leg bitten off by a whale while limo
Gently fishing for minnows. Aims, for the
love Of Petrarchl"
And still he was not needed. So he thrust
his whole body through the hole. so that
only his head and chest were visible, and
thus he exclaimed: ooh, luscious people.

The Educational Survey

The commissioner OF education Of the
United States, the leading educators Of the
state and the state board Of education
strongly recommend an educational survey
the compiling of exhaustive statistics, for
New Mexico. They regard it justly as one
Of the most important steps to be taken to
advance education in this state ais 1t should
be advanced. 1t means the stating Of the
problem in exact terms, thereby making its
solution immensely easier and as a meas
ure of efficiency II is vital.
With such endorsement. the state cannot
afford to delay making at the next legisla-
tive session the comparatively small appro-
priation Of So. 500 to $4,000 needed to en-
able the government experts to complete
the work.

but the most convincing evidence Of the

the federal states to surrender their prerog-

Federal Training Camps

The most Significant portion Of the army
reorganization law is Section 81, which au-
thorizes the secretary of war to conduct
camps for the military instruction and train
ing Of citizens of the United States and pro-
vides for the payment Of all expenses, in
Guiding food, transportation and uniform, Of
the individual attending.
This provision, supported by an adequate
appropriation, will make these federal
training camps available for hundreds Of
thousands Of men who could not otherwise
afford to pay out of their own pockets for
the privilege OF equippiRg thamselveg to
serve their country in case of need. By
this section a comprehensive chain of train.
ing camps, embodylng the "PlattshHrg
idea" will be established throughout the
country under the exclusive direction inc
control Of the federal government. The war
department Is a present working out the de-
tails for the administration of the camps.
This progressive legislation will have lar.
reaching results IN building a trained citi-
GEMS reserve Upon the vital principle that
the armed forces of the nation must be re
sponsive to the control Of the nation alone.
1t only remains for congress to act fav-
orally OF the estimates already submitted
by the war department.
Over eight hundred of the largest en-
ployers in the country, representing hun.
dreds Of thousands Of employees. have sign
ed a declaration that they will permit their
men to attend these federal training camps
for the full four weeks without loss of pay.
Even on the basis OF the men paying their
own way 1888 men are already enrolled
for Plattsburg alone to June !, and thous-
and Of others for the other camps.

Illiterate Foreigners Are
Menace to the Nation

The state department. OF education has
received a copy of a letter sent out by
State Superintendent Edward Hyatt to the
school superintendent of California, under
date of May S. 1916. The California state
education department is thus the second to
attack the problem of the education Of the
foreign born from the state point OF view.
The letter is as follows:
please bet me call your particular atten.
ton to a phase of public education that has
not engaged much of our attention here
tofore, but that is surely going to demand
1t in the near future-that is, the education
and the AmericanizatiOn Of the adult for
eigner.
Among the thoughtful people and among
lawmakers is growing up the conviction
that the presence of the iIliterate foreigner
is q danger and a menace to us and 10 our
institutions. Under present conditions. he
may be among Us twenty years or more.
knowing nothing Of our language, open to
none OF the influences that tend to good
citizenship. He can be guided and moved
by the intriguer n the boss of his own
nationality, but cannot be touched by Uncle
Sam. Thus, in time of stress or danger. he
may become dangerous and threatening in
the extreme to the very life of the republic.
ut is coming about that the burden Of
teaching and Am%ericanizing the foreigner is
to be laid upon the educational forces OF
the commonwealth. That means US.
"The commission of immigration and
housing has been created. This body can
investigate and plan and recommend-but
IL Is the school people who must teach.
There are $4,000 illiterates reported in Cali
fornia. There are over half a million foreign.
born residents. These classes are becom-
ing SO large, as compared with our school
population, that the state Is taking cog
nizance of the matter and Is moving toward
assuming responsibility.
"At present, the most definite way to
reach our adult foreigners is through the
night schools, The machinery for organiz-
ing night schools Is at hand in every school
district, ANY school may establish a night
school by action OF its own board Of trus-
tees. It must provide for housing and main,
tanning the night school itself, as it will
get no additional public money until its
additional attendance gives it additional sp-
portionment during the following year. Free
textbooks are furnished by the state, how.
ever.
"The object Of this letter IL two.fold; first,
to call your attention TO the shadow Of COM
ing events; and, second, TO warn you that
those schools proposing 10 meet the sltuas
ton by opening night schools must needs
add to their September budgets, to their
special taxes, the money necessary for open
ing the schools and maintaining them during
the first year.

albuquerque Morning Journal: The pres
ident win be commended for having kept
the nation at peace while practically all the
rest Of the world was at war, and his for
.eign policy will be given unqualified ap.
proval by the convention. The stern fact
is that on this point alone is the administra-
tion open to any serious attack, and when
the extraordinary conditions that have pre-
vailed during the last two years are consid-
cred, it is doubtful if al attack on this line
can be reasonably upheld. Certainly, no

'THE LOGICAL MAN

Cimarron News-Citizen: To feel the
sting of rebuke and yet come out with a
whole hide in the pink Of condition is not
the lot of the average man in politics, but
the nomination for governor. The cam
paign Of 1914 had not vet closed when po-
Iitical venom was distributed by those who
sought his support and despised for his pro-
g~ressiye policies. 1t was evident at that
time that Mr.. Ely was. opposed by the men
who control the Republican party, not that
he wasn't fit for the Office. but because he
used his influence to right a wrong that has
been carried on with impunity for more
than thirty years in the face OF Democratic
opposition. Mr.. Ely is the most logical man
the party can nominate in August; the man
who can defeat any opposing candidate and
hold the party together In unity Of action.
