COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS
ARE NOW ALL At WORK

I'VE feel that New Mexico is to be
heartily congratulated on the charac-
ter of the men and women who have
been appointed bN our district jude
g. H. members of the county boards
Of education. under the recently en-
acted law making the county the unit
for rural school administration" said
j. II. Wagner. state superintendent
of public instruction, in Il statement
announcing the completion of the APP
pointment of these boards for the
twenty eight counties. in all cases.
said Mr.. Wagner. 1.-The Judges have
chosen men and women of high stand
ing and recognized ability and those
appointments supply the final assur-
ancc that operation nf the new county
unit law will he successful The law
l. recognized by educational authoi-
ties as q noteworthy piece Of CON
>trnctivc legislation which places
New Mexico IN the front rank of eff
iicient and economic school admins
lratlon.'
For school taxation purposes the
county has been the unii in New Mex
leo since 1915. The 1917 legislature,
at the instance of the state education
at the instance of the state education
al authorities, went further and made
the county the unit also for admin
i~trative purposes. Under the new
law the district judge appoints for
each county fuor members of the
school board of education. the county
school superintendent being the fifth
memcbr eX-otficio chairman of the
board. Two of the four of these
that appointments are named for
two wears and two for four wear term
two years and two for four wear
terms. In future two members will
be named every two years for a term
"i four years each. thus giving each
board at all times two experienced
members. The new county board of
education does not displace the dis
trict school board. nor usurp its
functions. The district school direct
ors are continued a. heretofore, with
full charge of the administrative de-
tan of their districts, in charge of
formation of budgets of estimates
for school expenses, contracting with
teachers. etc. The estimates, how
ever. and selection of teachers are
subject to approval BY the county
board which is charged general ad-
ministrative supervision of all coun-
" school, being the link in the edu-
cational system between the district
school director and the state board
of education. The new county board
has no jurisdiction over schools in
incorporated towns and cities, but
has full authority over all rural dis
tricts. II has authority in matters of
policy and its work will tend to con-
centrate and simplify buying of sup
plies and equipment and will work
directly for economy in operation.
1t will unity county rural school ad-
ministration and work directly toward
greater harmony and efficiency. That
it is constructive legislation of the
highest type is evident by letters Of

The Mexicans Of the lower class
naturally belong to the soil. This
statement is pretty well proved by the
fact that most of them who enter this
country as immigrants quickly find
their way to the farm and plantations.
That they are efficient laborers in the
fields is shown by the great inroads
that they have already made in re-
placing the negro and other types OF
farm helpers. In thousands OF in

nosition of wage earners to hat of
land renters. and gradually the more
