EDUCATORS COMMEND NEW
MEXlCO'S COUNTY UNIT LAW

"The good example. set by New
Mexico" in school legislation is
highly commended by the Presid-
ent Of the California State Normal
Schoo! at San Diego, and by the Spe.
c;a;.st in Eu;al School Practice OF
the Government Department of Edu-
cat;n7. Both letters which were re-
Gently received By State Superin-
tcndeut Wagner, follow:
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,
San Diego, California.
June 6, 1917.
Mr.. Jonathan H. Wagner,
State Superintendent of Public In.
,tr.ction. Santa Fe, New Mexico
NY Dear Superintendent Wagner:
l believe that l am indebted to you
fer capy of the school law of the
state of New Mexico, enacted by
the third legislature. l wish to con-
gratulate you upon that legislation
which establishes the county as the
unit of control for the schools OF
New Mexico. Many of US in Califor
MIA are hoping for the day when ST.
milar legislation can be secured in
our state. However, a constitution
al amendment will be prerequisite
to such legislation. The good ex-
ample set US by New Mexico should
stimulate US to renewed efforts.
Sincerely yours,
EDWARD L. HARDY,
President, State Normal School of
San Diego.
Department of Education,
Washington, D. c.
Permit me to thank you for the
unit bill of New Mexico
which passed the last legislature 1t
is bound to mean very material pro-
gress in an educational way for the
State of New Mexico. We hear this
with a great deal of qualification.
Very sincerely yours,
H. w. FOGHT,
Specialist in Rural School Practice

duty. Men do not 60 to the "a,
collector to pay their taxes befor,
they have been assessed or thu
amount of the tax levied. Failure C
go in advance to pay taxes does no,
carry with it any stigma of disgrace
Neither is the taxpayer who wait:
until the last day to pay his take.
held to be disloyal citizen. Rea.
soning by anology. we reach the ne
ccssarv conclusion that the citizen
who waits until he has been notified
of his selection under the conscrip-
tion Jaw. before entering the mill
tary service is not properly an OBJ
ject OF rel roach
The real test is whether a man
promptly respond, when called, and
faithfully performs his duty there.
after. II this be done, the man who
is thus called to the colors is en-
titled to the highest esteem as a
loyal American citizen, and is en-
titled to the deepest gratitude from
his fellow citizens who are not cal.
led upon to render similar service.
The conscription system is the
only equitable and entirely defen-
s:ble plan of raising an army. Those
who aid not volunteer were merely
exercising their right in awaiting
the enactment of a law which would
determine which men should render
military service and when they
should respond. General recogni-
ton OF this and Willingness to accord
the full honor to which the con-
scripted men are entitled will do
much to make their service more
agreeable to them and will esta-
blish a higher esprit de corps.
A "Movie" Mans Uadsrstudy.
A Mississippi Senator has, as part
of his senatorial patronage, 4 door
keeper with an annual salary of ST.
40, who is supposed to be in charge
of door to one Of the galleries of
The Senate Chamber. An opportu-
nity recently came to this man to
associate himself with a Washing
ton movie" show, with the promise
OF further improvement, in his ii.
nancial condition. He therefore sub
let his doorkeeper's job to a boy for
a fraction Of his own salary, and de-
votes his entire time to the movies.
1t is understood that the plan has
met with the approval of the DEM
ocratic Sergeant-at-Arms, under
wosc jurisdiction the doorkeepers
come. 1t is significant that the gall
lery in question is on the Republican
side of the Chamber, hence the ad-
would not lose any
friends if an "aIien enemy" evaded
the careless eyes of the young guard
and tossed a bomb over the rail.

TO HELP EXTENSION
SERVICE PROGRAM

The extension service work OF the
State College in New Mexico re-
|ceive a decided impetus beginning
Monday morning, June II. when
fourteen women, equipped to COM
pete with men in hours OF labor and
enthusiasm, will start out from the
college campus at Mesilla Park for
various parts of the state, where
they will undertake the task oi
teaching the women and girls OF
New Mexico important things about
home economics. President A. D.
Grille is sending the women workers
out into the state, confident that
they will accomplish . great deal for
the wives and mothers of New Mex
leo.
Each woman worker will have two
counties to cover, and will work
along fines designated by DR.. Grille
and assistants. The class of four
teen spent a week at the college re.
Gently in training for the field work
All the women are widely experien-
ced in home economics and were
employed for the extension service
after their efficiency had been care
fully inquired into.
They will demonstrate the latest
ideas in cooking, refrigerating, wash
ing. ironing, canning preserving and
sewing many things, which to the
women who know how to do them
are easy, but are a source of great
discomfort and worry to the mex
|perienced and to those who lack
early training.
Fruit drying, instead of canning is
to be an important suggestion Of
fered by the women fled workers
this because of the scarcity and
high price of cans. The housekeer
ers will be taught how to put egg.
in water ice and have them fresf
as 60-cents-a-dozen eggs for next
winter.

Dear Sir: AS to my action as re-
CARDS the scholarship held by Miss
Houser, wish to place my position
before the people who entrusted me
with their vote.
introduced the bill to vacate the
scholarship on the ground that it be-
longcd to a bona fide citizen of the
county. | fought for tbe same on the
floor of the House ano afterwards
withdrew same, as it seemed to place
me in false position before the
House. In withdrawing the same
stated to the House "that while con-
scious of the Righteousness of nv DO
sition, yet rather than place myself in
the position of prosecutor" l would
withdraw.
The House in return passed bill
No. 693 re-imbursing the county for
the same, thus giving us scholarship
for next year.
The people may rest assured that
my record has been consistently op-
posed to larger appropriations. For a
business and economical administra-
ton Mr.. Rivers has been with me all
the way, in all things that meant the
protection of the people.
Respectfully,

There will be one constable for

stable for Brooks Mill.
Seven of these constables-all but
. those from Pee Dee, Steer Pen and
Cole Hill Township-will get a salary
of S4OO each per year. The other
three will receive $500 each per wear.
