in doubt about whether they would
put it through that day. Now if this

him and open them in the usual way

other good letter from another man,

are an old hypocrite. You don't
amount to much anyhow. If you

not miss you, and it would not be a

Yet, In the face of these facts, there
is now a concerted effort being made

and had no part in the massacre. And

questions were about the raid. We

Villa was only a few miles over
the line with q large force and had

He might come over any minute. The

Have Not Kept Pace.

The trouble with our educators Is
that they have not kept pace wit
the progress of the world in other
! lines Of endeavor. The convention,
course Of study was set when only
clergy and the gentry were suppose
to need education. and when al
knowledge was to be found ia the
Greek and the Latin languages.
Since then, from generation to gem
GRAFTON, teachers have taught what
preceding teachers taught them. an
they have made few changes to meet
modern conditions, They have hell
TO the Latin and the Greek--rkirtlc
larry to the Latin and to higher
mathematics, when they know that
the student will have no need In aftei
life for anything Learned In those
years OF disciplinary and cultural
work.
But the worst Of II all Is that there
are so many things which should b.
taught, thoroughly. because they a
both useful and cultural, which can
be had only in a smattering way so
much time must be devoted to the
useless things with which the course
OF study are loaded.
Practically every educator Of New
Mexico win frankly admit In private
conversation that the whole course of
study, from the first grade to the
bachelors degree Is impractical
Along with much that is good is more
that should be dispensed with az 80
much waste. Courses OF study from
and including the seventh grade
should be directed toward the voca-
ton of the man or the woman, in
stead of purely for the purpose of
mental gymnastics. The mind can
be developed quite as much by the
study of useful AS of useless things

MIR. Bi,yAN'S FAIACY.

William Jennings Bryan has be-
come the most ultra of paoifists lie
uses the duel between Alexander
Hamilton and Aaron Burr as an IL
lustration. Burr was the unscrupu-
l1ous challenger. Hamilton was OPP
posed to duelng, but went on the
field of honor" and was slain,
though he never attempted to take
the life Of his foe. According to
Mr. Bryan, Hamilton should have re-
fused to meet Burr, though he rec
! ognizes the value of Hamiltun.s gac-
riiiee of his life as a lesson to AM
orleans against the duel
But MIR. Bryan believes the United
states should set an example to na-
tons as Hamilton set an example to
men, only that this nation should
+ be more heroic than Hamilton and
actually refuse to enter the war.
whereas Hamilton appeared on the
dueling ground ana allowed himself
to be killed.
The trouble about II all IL that
Hamilton was alone in the world and
had only bis own life to consider If
he refused to attempt to protect his
ewn life, his death would bring little
suffering to others by sacrificing
himself, he was able TO strike Il great
blow at dueling. which was wrong III

But let us suppose that this great
nation should say, when challenged

We're secured. and our civil war when
the unity Of the nation was preserved
and the paramountoy of the federal
government was established. All of
this was bought at the price OF blood
shed,
Now, Mr.. Bryan would have III re-
fuse to fight for the preservation Of
our freedom, even He would say TO
the predatory powers of the world:
