Getting Pictures for School Room.

When our school opened the first
year, the children were asked to
nring pictures to hang on the walls,
and otherwise to cooperate in max
ing the school the best in the coun-
ty. The name Home School, was
selected as an ideal to help in car
rying out this purpose. The pictures
were gladly contributed and put on
the walls. Blackboards were put up,
the floors were oiled, and later much
of the playtime was spent by the
teachers and older pupils in cleaning
off the grounds.
Before the school had been CO.

week and had good attendance
from school and community. 1t

The Rescue Home

Criticism was made at the meeting of the Associated
Charities Wednesday evening of the action OF mayor
Lea in giving the Rescue Home S25 a month of the
cys appropriation to charity The criticism based
on the argument that the modeTn method" of handling
orphans is find homes for them While the FL Paso
Rescue Home built originally to take care of hayward
girls has taken on the work of caring for little boys
and girls whose parents cannot take of them it
is not exactly orphans home though most of the
children have lost parent by death desertion
Among the children being kept IN the institution
practically every has either father mother who
contributes something, small though 1t IS, toward the
support of the child
This home has made of itself link to avoid sep

helping widowed mothers wieless husbands to keep
their children where they them and love them
in awhile, instead of forcing these unfortunate
parents to "give away" their little either to an
orphan asylum into the keeping of some family not
related by blood to the child.
The Herald of course recognizes the modern ten
dency to find homes for orphans advanced method
superior to the old way of herding the little in
asyums. There is doubt that it is better to find
home for orphaned child where he or she may gladden.
the hearts of couples VINO childesS and have his

something be done to keep parent and children together
1t is heartless to tear children away from parents
merely because of financial inability of the parents to
support them To prevent such inhumanity; to keep
the children where their surviving parents may visit
them and contribute little to their support, the
Rescue Home has taken up its work The Herald has
investigated this work and thoroughly approves it.
The Herald suggested to mayor Lea that the city
should aid it. The mayor, himself loving father
with big heart full of love for all children was at
impressed with the work, after investigating it.
and decided that the city of FL Paso could not spend
S25 a month better than in aid of these children As
he thought $4,000 year all that the city could spend

NEIGHRoRLY PRAISE.

From Albuquerque IN NJ Herald.
FL Paso, according to a recent fed
eral census, has more than 7O,0 peO-
pie, and claims, with immediate subur-
ban districts, a population Of about
go 600 The FL Paso Of a dozen years
ago did not dream Of a population of
100 900 iu 1920, yet IL appears quite
probable that El Paso will have that
number Of people within the next four
years
II is true that FL Paso has enjoyed
exceptional transportation facilities,
coupled with favorable freight rates
10 has been the gateway into all north
ern Mexico and the supply and mar
lzet for the rich copper mining dis
fricts Of southern Arizona and north
ern Mexico. Yet much Of the growth
that has come to El Paso has been
due directly TO community promotion
10 loyal, enthusiastic. persistent town
building. which has not rested day or
night for the past ten years. The con-
GdenCe in a greater FL PasO has been
the chief influence in its realization.
The Albuquerque chamber OF com
merce has set mark OF 10000 pOpu-
latiOm for this city in 1920. This will
sary to give El Paso its coveted 1OO.-
600. Yet there is no reason why Al
buQuerQue should not reach the $4,000

which give equal opportunities for

ling and general commerce, as we'll as

A System That Pays

Swiss youth is not trained for soldering his
life work, but he is trained to assist when needed in
defending his country and his training is turned to
account in making him better citizen physically and
morally stronger, and of more account in any calling
he chooses to follow.
If the United States is to make itself safe from
foreign aggression, it must adopt such system
the Swiss have followed for many years. 1t involves
universal training in the elements of military knowledge
ana proficiency and the full acceptance of the principle
that universal service to the state in time of national
emergency Is required of every citizen his prime duty
and is not left to chance or choice.
In Switzerland education is universal and cOmpul-
sorry. Every small boy is taken in hand at early
age and given thorough and systematic gymnasium
training Each school has its cadet corps, but service
IN the corps is voluntary Government instructors direct
the work from the first. The regular school work of
course predOminates but the state nsures, far
possible, good health and good habits Before he is 49,
the average school boy is a good shot with rifle.
At about IS years of age the average boy enters vOlun
tarlly, an advanced military group which continues
preliminary training and drill with the army service
rifle. All this means no loss of time from school,
diversion OF effort without distinct gain.
When he is 20, the Swiss boy goes into camp for
60 10 20 days. according to the branch of the service he
chooses, for thorough military training He takes his
rifle and equipment home with him, and becomes re-
Sponslble tor them until he is so. The following year
