an informal, practical, and helpful
way
Miss Mathews Of Hawkins gave a
very instructive address On Writ
ten Work in Upper Form History"
The close connection between Eng-
lish and History, the use of note
books in the class room, and map
drawing. as an aid to vitaliz9 any
military history which might be,
taught, were the points emphasized.
Let the final examination be given
only to generaliZe work done during
a unit of work, to survey each
period.
Prin. Clark in his discussion Of The
topic, "The Teachers Profe- sional
Spirit How Manifested? Results?"
stated that the problem OF the teach
ers Of today is to create profes
sion. Only when the teacher de-
velops a professional spirit, will the
work become a profession. The
state may assist, but the teacher
must do the work. He must inspire
it with spirit and enthusiasm. Teach
ing is it's own reward, in that it
brings forth the enlightenment of
pupils and gives the teacher place
in the social life of the community,
In the discussion Of the above
topic, the following point WIS made:
ga greater degree Of professional
spirit, greater sincerities, better vieW
of our duties will make teaching a
profession" These are manifested ty

sional literature, interesting on1-
self in matters pertaining to the
work of teaching, including child

The topic "Vitalizing the Work in
Numbers in the Middle Form Grades "
was discussed by Miss Gunnen, Ct
Hawkins. Miss Gunnll st9ated that

cessful. knowledge must be firmly
fixed by repetition. Retention O.
knowledge depends upon amount and
frequency of reviews Failure in
thoroughness will delay later results.
The frequent review is aided by

is the retention of facts. The aim
of daily drill is accuracy and skill.
Arithmetic becomes a vital part in
the school work when the pupils be
come eager to learn and do acquire
the facts.
The topic causes for Failure in
Teaching was presented by Prin.
Madden. of Ingram. He cited as the
causes for failure in teaching, po2r
assignments, failure in organization,
lack of medium between confidence
and over-confidence on the part CT
the teacher, use of too much Trial

lack of pupils knowledge of how to
study, failure to distinguish between
general and individual cases, and
lack of drill and review.

"Oh, boy, you don't know how good
this tastes after those Mexican fri
joles," one of the twenty-three ex-
claimed as he sank his teenth into a
piece of melon.
General Francisco Gonzales, COM
manding the Juarez garrison announc-
ed he expected to receive the arms,
horses and equipment of the negro
troopers from Chihuahua to-day and
that he would turn them over imme-
diately to General Bell.
Reports from points west along the
border reaching El Paso to-day indi-
Gated a considerable anti Mexican
feeling as a result of numerous forays
from the Mexican side upon isolated
ranches, eliminating in the murder of
William Parker and his young wife at
their ranch southwest of Hachita, N.
NJ. Several persons of Mexican orr
gin have complained to civil and mill
tary authorities that they had been
mistreated by posses of cowboys in

American wounded found on the
field after the Carrizal fight were bayo-
neted by the MeXicans, three Of the re-
leased prisoners declared. They also
charged they were robbed of their
money and valuables.
How They Were Transferred
The transfer of the troopers took
place at 3.15. General Francisco Con-
zales and Carranzista Consul Andres
Garcia walked out to the black line
across the international boundary
which is the boundtry line. General
Geo. Bell walked out from the Amer
lean end or the bridge. General Con.
zales saluted and was introduced tc
General Bell. Then an unshaven white
man, wearing soiled white duck
trousers, a faded blue shirt and a white
canvas hat with green braid, walked
up and joined the group with his roll

ed against my shoulder like a house
had fallen on it and I knew I was hit
NO one tried to bayonet me as / lay
on the ground, but was told by some
of the others that they were witnesses
to the bayoneting of many of our
boys"
Archie Jones was another of the
negro survivors who was shot through
the right arm as he was working his
rifle. This wound was in the lower
arm and had shattered the bone at his
wrist.
The fight was all over when I was
hit" Jones said. Il was laying out
without so much as a bush for cover
when bullet struck me in the wrist,
and knew 1 was done for. / ran as
far as | could. but finally surrendered.
After they caught me they bound me,
after taking all of my clothes but my
undershirt from me. MY wounded
hand was not bandaged tight, but the
other hand was, and I was helpless
and remained bound all night in spite
OF pain. You can see where the ropes
cut through the skin on my arms and
made sore places. Aside from that
we were well treated after being taken
to Villa Ahumada."
Says Wounded Were Bayoneted
William Harris told of the bayonet-
ing of the wounded.
AS fast as our men fell they were
bayoneted on the ground" he said.
I'VE had ridden about eight miles
from the Santo Domingo Ranch, and
1t must have been about o'clock
when the parley started. I was on the
right flank and did not see the start OF
it, and l cannot tell who started firing
first. We had 76 men, having sent 10
of our men back to the base for sup
plies. Before we knew 1t the fighting
started and the two machine guns
there were two of thenl-opened up
The MeXicans were spread out in the
form of horseshoe pointing toward
the little town of Carrizal. One of the
machine guns was hid behind the ir.

kept firing until ran out of ammuni
ton. 1 saw tho right flank swing
around and charge, but my orders
were to lay low and get hit at ever,
shot, and / sure did. Finally, wher
every single man around me had beer
shot, started to throw the pump loci

of my gun up, when spent bullet
struck me in the right arm and 1 went
down. We sure were outclassed, so
just up and run. The Mexicans fired
two volleys at me and l kept on run
ming. They jumped on their horses
and started after me, when l dropped
my six-shooter, threw up my hands
and surrendered, The Mexicans came
charging down on me and thought
they were going to kill me.
No More Fight in Him
""who are you and why are you
lighting us?' one of the men shouted In
Spanish. I just nachully amt fight
ing you any more told him, and
they broke out in laugh and took me
prisoner. I had $40 in gold in my shoe
and when they stripped us all and
fought over our leggings and shirts,
they took that and divided 1t among
the four of them. They also took a
diamond ring which belonged to my
best girl back in Atlanta. They tied
my arms behind me, in spite of the
bullet wound in my right arm. md
left those ropes on me from o'clock
that night until o'clock next morn
ing, when we reached Chihuahua.
1T hurt SO my arm got numb and
went to sleep. The skin was cut and 1
was so cramped I could not sleep, but
they did not do any more than shove
us with the butts of their guns. That
Is, the soldiers didn't. The people in
Chihuahua threw rocks at us and spit
on US, but that was nothing to the hurt
in my tied arms"
William Gibson, another of the
Troop K men, declared emphatically
that he saw the Mexican soldiers stab
the soldiers as they lay on the ground
using their bayonets and Some of the
officers using their swords, All agreed
on this that they had witnessed the
killing of the wounded. None knew
exactly how many were killed, and
none of the negroes said he had seen
Captain Boyd hit. They thought Morey
was dead until they reached the bor-
der, when they were told he was alive
and in FL Paso. and one negro shout

FL Paso. June 80. - Tension which
had prevailed on the border since the
Carrizal encounter, relaxed percepti-
hIv to-dav as a result of the safe re-
turn to American soil of the twenty
three troopers of the Tenth cavalry
and the American scout, taken pris-
oner in the engagement.
Stories told by the soldiers that they
had suffered no ill treatment at the
hands of the troops of the de facto
Mexican government ana mat every Ell
fort had been made to control vio-
lence manifested BY infiamed civil
population at Villa Ahumada and Chi
huahua City, where the prisoners were
stoned and jeered, had marked effect
here.
In official circles in Juarez news dis
patches that the return of negro SOL
diers had averted the possibility of i'm
mediate retaliatory steps by the United
States were received with OBVIOUS salts
faction. Andres Garcia, Mexican con-
sui at El Paso, expressed the belief
that the first step looking toward a
peaceful solution of the border prob
lem had been taken and that others
would follow shortly.
At the request of General George
Bell, Jr., commanding the Ell Paso
military district. Consul Garcia to-day
made preliminary arrangements for
the return, at the expense of the Am
erican government to the United States
for burial, of the bodies of the Ameri-
can soldiers killed at Carrizal. No ac-
curate figures on the dead are avail
able, but the missing number is flf-
teen, and it is believed all were killed.
When Captain Lewis S. Morey Of
the Tenth cavalry visited the twenty
three troopers in the Fort Bliss bar
racks last night they hailed him as one
from the dead, having believed he
could not survive the wounds which he
sustained at CarriZal. Captain Morey
chatted with the negro cavalrymen for
half an hour

Lem Spillsbury, the Mormon scout.
Trot After Troopers
Then came the most yeird procession
that has ever been seen on the border.
Marching erect in their rags and tat
ters came the American negro troop
ers of the Tenth Cavalry. They march
ed in perfect time, two by two, with a
f1anking line of Carranza soldiers on
each side of them. The diminutive
Carranza soldiers almost had to trot
to keep up, and the fat, greasy captain
in command sweated at every pore as
he dog-trotted along with his sword
Hopping between his legs.
"Alto!" (halD, he shouted, all out of
breath. The negroes all stopped at
the same time, while the Carranza SOL
diers stopped in lunches In the front
file was Sergeant Page. He wore a
pair of ragged khaki riding trousers,
slit at the knee, no leggings, no socks,
n pair of shoes with no laces and no
hat. His beard was a mat on his dirt
covered face. His undershirt had once
been white, but was a dirty gray and
full of holes. But he stood as erect
as If on dress parade. AS he caught
General Bells eye he raised his right
hand to the brim of his imaginary hat
in salute, which was followed by a
wide grin.
Americans Cheer Troopers
General Gonzales handed General
Bell a list of the prisoners. General
Bells aid then started calling the
names, and as the negro boys answer
ed to their names they stepped for
ward, crossed the line and were rushed
to the immigration detention station
for kerosene bath and fresh clothes.
AS the negro cavalrymen passed they
each saluted Gen. Bell and his staff
and were cheered again and again by
the great crowd of Americans
Corporal Luther Alexander march
ed across the bridge barefooted and
with only his undershirt and riding
trousers. He had been wounded In
the right shoulder while raising up
from his position In the front file to
load and his shoulder had been shat
tered. For sling he wore a belt strap
and his undershirt was torn away
from the wound until half of his coal
black back was showing. He had nc
hat and his face was covered with a
moss-like growth of beard.
