Albuquerque, N. NJ. July ga
complete change in the operating
schedules of the New Mexico state
university is announced to take effect
when the university opens on October
LIST. The old t~wo-semester plan Is to
be abandoned and the f~our-quarter
system will take Its place. Under the
twosemester plan, generally used in
American colleges for a century, the
university work was conducted
through two periods Of 18 weeks each.
Under the ~four-quarter plan the work
will be arranged in four periods of IL
weeks each. Under the old plan the
university plant was idle one-fourth of
each year. Under the new plan 1t
will be in full operation from October
1 to September / of each year, being
idle only during the four weeks of
September. Under the old system the
individual student must adapt his
time and finances to the universities
set working plan. Under the new
plan the courses are SO arranged that
the university's schedules become

individual student.
"a very large proportion Of students
at the state university are self sup
porting. Last year 65 per cent OF
men and rs per cent of women paid
part or all of their own expenses. The
old ~two-semester system permitted
these young people only three months
of earning time, in which to accumu-
late funds for the next college year.
The new system will permit the stud
ent to earn money six months, attend
college six months, and graduate in
five years, without interruption OF
courses or loss of credits.
The %four-quarter period was unan-
imously endorsed at the recent war
conference of university presidents
in Washington. At this meeting it
was determined That American univer-
stiles should not suffer IN efficiency

Portland Showers Visitors
With Delugc Of Roses
New Mexico, with Banner Delegation, Honored at
N. E. A. Meeting; Wonderful Reception by the
Northwest City; Saloonless Communities Are
Prospecting

Back from Portland, Oregon where
he attended the National Education
al Associations annual convention,
Prof. ]. H.. Wagner, state school SUI
perintendent, is enthusiastic over the
reception and program there.
New Mexico had the largest dele
cation at the Portland convention 1t
has sent to any convention OF the N.
Z. A. since the meeting in Salt Lake
City, said Prof. Wagner. There
were 16 New Mexicans present and
our, John Vincent Conway was n OF
them. New Mexico was signally hon
ored, too, for it received n of the
nine vice presidencies-Prof. A. n.
Kent, of Ration. having been elected
to this Office, John Conway was on
the nominating committee"
Prof. Wagner was elected n OF the
directors of the ASSOCIATION. The d.
'.rectors met after the convention but
did not select a meeting place for
next year, leaving that to the meeting
10 Z superintendent In February.
The attendance was good" con-
tinued the New Mexico educator.
.sThere we're 10, 0 to 1000 deleagtes.
Prof. Atanacio Montoya was secreta-
Try of our delegation. On the first
day addresses were made by the gov
errors Of Oregon and of Washington
and mayor of Portland, who said he
had been denied the advantages of a
college education and had been able
to attend school only nine weeks at
o cost of $13. An interesting address
was delivered by President Alley OF
the association explaining the dis
tinction between education and in
struction. Members of the. Belgian
commission also spoke, in English,
to the surprise of many"
Red School House
Portland was wonderfully decora-
ted" said Mr.. Wagner. ION almost
every other street corner one saw
o cardboard red school house in
which there vas a free telephone for
the use of the thousands of guests.
Nothing was overlooked by the COM
mittees on entertainment.
ShoWered With Roses
1.-THE visitors were literally show
cred with roses. The rooms at our
hotels were almost filled with flow
ers.
zone thing impressed us: the flow
or beds in boulevards have been
planted in potatoes with just a border
of flowers left to remind the public
of what they WERE
Saloons Gone
MI. Wagner said Portland and all
the cities Of Oregon and Washing
ton are dry. 'There are no saloons
and one man told us that drinking
of whisky had practically stopped.
It would cost at least SIS a bottle to
get 1t here and it aint worth it he
said. For the first time in six months
business men told us Portland felt
the change and there was a sign OF
business depression. But soon the
city rallied and now there is more
money than ever There are no clos.
ed store buildings; everybody is
busy"
Prof. Wagner is leaving this even
ing for Silver City to attend the in
stitute commencement there and de-
liver an address Thursday night. This
afternoon he visited the teachers in
stitute conducted at LorettO Academy
here and attended by nuns from all
over the state.

DIR, Eckles and his associate in or
ganizing the movement, DR.. J. H,
Mowbray. of Swarthmore, Pa, made
an offer to the government to furnish
a sufficient number of embalmers to
care for the bodies of men killed in
battle or dying in hospitals, to organ
lie these men in units and to equip
and train them for their duties; they
volunteered to furnish also automo'
bile ambulances.
EmbaIm In Trenches
1t is planned to embalm the bodies
right in the first line trenches, &C.
cording to DR.. Mowbray, or If this Is
impossible as close to them as posi-
BILE. They will be taken from the
battle line and inferred until after
the war, as it would be practically I'M

'By our up-to-date process they will
be recognizable for years, and will be
in a perfect state of preservation
when brought back to this country,
says DIR. Mowbray.

(Weather-crop Report For the Week
Ending July "a, 1919
The week was n with rather high
temperatures, partly cloudy skies and
daily local showers and thunder
storms. These were fairly good over
northern, western and centraleast
counties, but generally light and in
sufficient in southern and southeast
ern. Heavier and more general show
ers are still urgently needed. The
range over practically all Of the
plateau and plains districts of the
state is short and poor, with water
scarce, and thus far a poor outlook
for fall and winter range. Harvest OF
winter wheat is nearly completed in
northeast counties. Irrigated crops
are doing well, but dry land corn,
beans, spring small grain, sorghums
and fodder are still needing rain.
Ration: Frequent local showers oc-
Cured during the week, but they
we're too light and crops in most dis
tricts are suffering for rain; pastures
are very short.
Fort Stanton: Light showers oc-
Cured the first of the week, but rain
fall Of practically no value, because
light and local narrow strips. Corn
prospects are very bad; barley, beans
and sorghums have not come up on
dry lands. Prospects for second cut
ting of alfalfa poor. No water in the
creek and none for irrigation, SO that
are generally bad.
Artesia: Field crops and gardens
are growing very well considering h
extremely dry, hot weather.

Additional quantities of munitions,

FURIOUS GERMAN ATTACK
GAINS ONLY DEATH

On the French Front, Tuesday, July
24.-The furious attack Of the Ger.
mans along the Chemin-D e s-Dames
sector on the Aisne front has brought
them nothing but death and the fail
ure of all their plans to obtain posses
sion of the ridge and the observation
places.
AT daybreak today the French
launched a counter attack with such
vigor that they turned the Germans
out Of the few hundred yards of
trenches they had succeeded in occu-
plying in the first onset, and sent
them rushing back to their old lines.
The famous 152nd regiment led the
attack.
The California plateau was the
scene Of the most furious fighting.
The Germans who had gained a foot.
ing there were driven out everywhere
except at one small point which is OF
Importance.
On the Classmates plateau the re-
suit was similar. At almost every
point the French compelled the re-
tirement of the Germans. Suisse
quently the Germans tried once
but in vain to drive out the
French.
The artillery tonight is at work
most vigorously. The front line is al
as light as day from the flashes

A HOAXER REBUKED.

Persons who are fond of hoaxing
others and playing practical jokes,
telling, for instance, fictitious news or
stories just to test the credulity of
the listeners, do not perhaps reflect
that such action on their part is really
a transgression of the Eighth Com
mandment, says "The Ave Maria" st.
Thomas Aquinas once brought this
fact home to young friend of his
with considerable emphasis. His
friend cried out to him one day:
"Say, look at that flying ok" st.
Thomas began to look around in as
constituent to see where so strange
an animal was, but of course couldn't
see it anywhere. His friend burst out
laughing, and remarked that he didn't
think Thomas could be so credulous.
His laughter ceased, however, when
the saint and future Doctor of the
Church made answer: "It is much
easier to believe that an OK can fly
than that Christian can tell a lie"
