Supt. J. B. Taylor was the last
speaker and as he is considered one
of the leading educators of the west
his address was given marked atten-
ton. He suggested many good things
that go to make up the essentials of
successful school management, and
advised that the four new members
of the coming board of education
soon TO be elected. should be chosen
with only one point in view. viz: ef.
ficiency. 1t is his opinion that every
community should select for school
trustees the very cream of the town.
persons possessing the broadest cul-
ture and the most modern and pro-
eressive ideas of education.
The fine advancement that has
come to Supt. Taylor will be made
public in the course of short time.

CLUB HAD
A FINE MEETING
MUSIC sv HleH SCHOOL CHORUS


One of the most interesting ses-
sions of the Deming Patrons Club
ever held occurred'at the Auditorium
Friday afternoon. The big meeting
was presided over by Mrs. Fred
Sherman, president of the club. who
announced rs the opening feature an
inspiring number by the high school
chorus, led by Mrs. White Blue. SUI
pervisor of music, with Miss Helen
Holt at the piano.
Col. f. +. Glenn, commander Of
Camp Deming, was next introduced
and gave an address on Military
Training, which We publish in full in
another column, because of its great
significance at this time.
Captain John G. Watson spoke
very entertainingly upon the "Needs
of the Deming Schools" Seeing SO
many ladies in attendance he sug-
gested the name "Matron's Club
would be more appropriate than
Patrons Club" bringing out the fact
that schools are founded for certain
purposes and are successful accord
ing to results accomplished. School,
make us more fit to have a govern
ment and are to prepare young men
and women for citizenship, to fit Us
to compete with other countries.
Capt. Watson suggested that the
trend of the average high school Is
To fit its students for colleges and
universities rather than the practical
work in life, although comparatively
few go beyond the high school. He
spoke of the unpreparedness of the
average graduate and offered the sug-
gestion that a course in elementary
law might be good thing aud that
occasional talks on business BY bus
mess men and women might be given
to advantage.
Captain Watson's address was
listened To with deep interest.
f.. l.. Foulks, who has long been
accused of having practical ideas
stored in his brain, gave sound and
exceedingly practical address on the
sane management of school affairs
and unconsciously started boomlet
for himself as a member of the board
of education, in order that he might
work out some of his good ideas.
Mr.. Foulks stated that under the
law any district could bond itself O
per cent of assessed valuation, and
suggested that bonds be issued for
ten thousand dollars to cover per
manent improvements, such as the
Lowell school. instead of trying to
pay il of in year or so, giving
future taxpayers little responsible
~. lie thought it uniust to the board
of education to expect the mainten-
ance of our schools at the present
high standard and at the same time
meet these permanent investments.
II was his impression that the
average teacher does not receive en-
ough pay. Teachers in our present
force have expended $500 to $4,000
To secure life certificates and are
required to expend AT least $50 per
year attending summer normals,
which leaves them an average of only
$40 per month for the years wages,
which is entirely inadequate.
The speaker wisely contended that
our schools are our most valuable
advertising asset and in order to at
tract the most desirable citizenship
we must maintain our present high
standard of efficiency.

The ultimate purpose of military

This implies that war Is always II
possibility. but when one speaks Of
war. everybody, including the press.
immediately reverts to the question
of what is popularity called the hor-
rors of war;" and there is no ques-
ton but that war is horrible in some
nr ,ts aspects. On the other hand

quenlly beneficial

Gen. sherman. ON the other hand,
stated: "War Is hell aud you can
not refine II.
Probably the most surprising state
ment of the effect of war upon a
people is that of John RuSkin. who
said;
IAN the pure and noble arts
of peace are founded ON war; no
great art ever rose but among

no great art possible 10 II nation

is the foundations of all the arts,
mean also;that Il is the founda-
ton of an'rife high virtues and
faculties of men. II was very
strange Tor me to. discover this.
and very dreadful, but ! saw II
lu he quite an undeniablc fact.
The common notion that peace
and the virtues of civil life
flourished together found to
be- utterly untenable. Peace and
the Wees of civil lic only flour
i,h together We talk of peace
and learning, of peace and plen-
", of peace and civilization, but
| found that these are not the
words that the Muse and ms
tory coupled together, that on
her lips the words were peace
and sensuality, peace and sell

found in brief, that all great ma
tions learned their truth of word
and strength of thought in war;
taught by war aud deceived by
peace; trained by war and be
trayed by peace IN word, that
they were born IN war and eX-
pired IN peace"
There Is no question but that a
careful study of history will de
monsiralc that Ruskin's conclusions
are correct.
If, in contemplating war, We thins
only of the losses IN killed and
wounded. as j. the usual custom. II
would be- found that there are more
killed and wounded by avoidable ac-
cidents than are killed in war To
illustrate, the average annual num-
ber of killed in peace accidents m
the United States is $4,000. Com
pare this with the following killed
in the various wars mentioned:
