Sectional Meetings.

Monday forenoon was given to the
various section meetings which were
held in the high school building. the
Masonic Temple. the Capitol and the
Old Palace. Each one was a focus OF
lively interest and it is there that
many educational problems are
thrashed out With each convention,
these sectional meetings become
more interesting and worth while
and gance over the topics assign
ed in the program demonstrates that
the discussions are waged upon a
practical plane.

Plan Must Be National.

The general plan must be national
foi the same reason that our gov
ernment must be national, but it is
the skill of the teacher that adapts
and supplements the course, so thar
il fits and is sufficient in scope TO
supply the needs of the class being
taught. 1t has been truly said, "As
is the teacher, so is the school" This
might be expressed in another way,
"As is the teacher, so is the course
of study"
We may do only that which is
outlined and be school keepers, or
we may grasp every opportunity to
put life blood into our subjects, and
thus bring our pupils into contact
with the world of affairs, of which
they must soon be part.
The cry we most frequently hear
is I'VE haven't the time to do every
thing expected of u.s." Let us BE- sure
we are not in the position of the
teacher who, to save the precious
time of her geography class, drew
the shades SO that the pupils might
not see the passing circus parade in
which were elephants, zebras, lions
and other animals usually displayed,
but who in spite of her efforts to
save time found it necessary to keep
the same class after school to learn
the name and characteristics of the
wild animals found in Africa.

the dead are the only ones with
whom no fault are found, yet few

The pupils after all are the ones
for whom the schools are maintain

The Boy Scouts


The resolutions presented by the
committee on that subject were sup
plemented by one brought in and
adopted while the Others were under
consideration, which reads:
whereas. we as educators believe
and teach that everything that tends
to many manly men and valuable
citizens of our boys should be en-
couraged;
"And whereas. the Boy Scouts Of
Santa Fe under the direction of
Scoutmaster A. J. Connell, have met
all incoming trains and have served
as faithful and competent guides in
plotting visiting teachers to their res
pcctive lodging places.
Therefore, be it resolved that the
New Mexico Educational association
extends its sincerest and heartiest
thanks and appreciation of this serv-
ice to the Scouts organization as a
whole and TO each individual scout
who has thus been OF such great
service to the association and that
copies of this resolution be sent to
the Scouts and to the press"

shared this erroneous opinion until last Sunday
when we took jaunt into the country to enjoy a
picnic dinner. What was our surprise when we
found that dozens of places adapted for picnic
purposes were occupied, compelling us to drive
many miles before we found a suitable spot.
Three and four parties had taken possession OF
each beautiful spot near Richmond. Fathers and
mothers, boys and girls were having good time
under the trees and along the banks OF the creeks.
It is a healthy indication when hundreds Of citi-
zens of Richmond forsake the monotony of paved
streets and cement sidewalks to seek recreation
out in the country. A day spent out in the coun-
try will refresh the tired muscles and jaded
brains.

Heroic Physicians

The life of physician is hard one at its
best He is subject to the call of patients at all
times of the day and night. Regularity in meals
is unknown to the average practitioner of Rich
mond. These men perform service for the COM
munity gladly and without grumbling. The
standing of this profession in community al
ways has been a high one. The United States
Public Health Service recently called attention to
the heroic service some of the members of this
profession have given to humanity. Comment
ing on the work Of Daniel Major. recent bulle-
tin says:
1T is remarkable fact, confirmed by many
observations, that many physicians who have de-
voted considerable labor to the study of partic-
ular disease have themselves died Of that dis
ease. One of the most interesting examples is
that of John Daniel Major, born August Is, 1884,
in Breslau, a physician and naturalist of no mean
ability. Bitten early by the wanderlust, he
studied at Wittenburg, took courses at many of
the schools in Germany and finally went to Italy
where he received the degree Of doctor of medi-
cine at Padua in 1860. Returning to his own
country, he resided for short time in Silesia,
and in 1861 married at Wittenburg, Margaret
Dorothy, daughter of the celebrated Sennert
The following year, his young wife was stricken
with plague and died after an illness of eight
days. Distracted by his loss, Major wandered up
and down Europe studying plague wherever he
found it in the hope that he might discover a
cure for the disease which had bereaved him.
Spain, Germany, France and Russia were visited
by him. He settled in 1865 in Kiel, where he was
made professor of botany and the director of the
botanical gardens. He made frequent voyages,
however, always in quest of the remedy for
plague. Finally in 1893, he was called to Stock
holm to treat the queen of Charles the Eleventh,
then i'll with plague. But before he could render
her any service, he contracted the disease and
died on the third of August"

Butterfly Days

The other day we journeyed out into the
country. We were surprised at seeing thousands
of beautiful butterflies reveling in the warm
summer air and the sun. They wing their way
in fantastic course through the air. The Ohio
State Journal commenting on the little knowledge
most of us have of these beautiful insects says:
Most people do not know the names of even
the commoner butterflies, excepting as the white,
the yellow or the black butterfly, but each one
has name, common one as well as scientific
one, and each butterfly has characteristics and
habits and life history, the knowledge of which
adds much to the pleasure of their presence.
There is the common white or cabbage butterfly,
so called because in the caterpillar stage it is
destructive to cabbages. The yellows, or sui
phurs, the puddle butterflies" which congre-
gate in swarms about roadside puddles, the Glow
er feeders. The big, handsome, dark-orange but
terfly with the black stripes is called the mon
arch, and belongs to the family of milkweed
butterflies, which feed upon that plant. There
are two gorgeous, iridescent, black and blue but
terflies very common at present, one with swal-
low tail and one without. The former is known
as the spice-bush swallow tail on account of it's
fondness for this bush and the latter is called the
red-spotted purple for obvious reasons Rarely a
day passes but one sees numbers of these butter
flies, and many others too numerous to name one

sides the hundreds of little shippers one sees but
never notices."

conscious of Evart calling out that ev.

couldn't patch up.
But Manley, in truth, was thinking
little Of either Evart or his fiier. All
his thoughts, as he climbed frantically
up through the broken tower window,
we're revolving about the problem as
to whether or not he was too late.
And that all-vital question still OBJ

treads Of tho stairway leading to the

until his lungs seemed bursting for

And Marley, as he clinched with Le-
gar's stalwart emissary, fought for 1t.
Nor was his opponent one to be de-
spised. The two men fought along the
crest Of that midnight tower as two
mountain lions might fight along the
brink OF an Andean precipice. They
fought with gasps and grunts, with
strange cultural sounds. with teeth
barred and face distorted, blind to the
blows that were given and taken. un.
