New Mexico's School System Is Running Efficiently:
To Change Management Would Be a Costly Mistake

TlIE PUBLIC schools of New Mexico are run
ming more smoothly and with greater effic-
iency now than ever before in the history OF
state or territory. During the past two years teach
ing standards have been advanced notably. En-
rollment has greatly increased, in spite of heavy
war demands upon the higher educational institu-
tons. Important economies have been effected and
u tremendous advance scored IN rural school al
ministration.
Out of a total of $I57I7sl.11 to hc raised by
taxation ia all purposes in New Mexico next year
-. l3i,1l772 will bc applied to educational institu-
tions, the rural and public schools and the state :
higher educational institutions. AT u time when
ne greatest economy Is necessary IN public cN-
pcudi,urcs, il is highly desirable that the spending
of this large sum be done aS efficiently aS possible.
OF the total educational outlay approximately
81, 000.00G will be raised under the county unit tax
law, or for the use of the common schools. IN our
cities, towns AMI villages and in the rural districts.
This money is expended under the general direc-
tion of the state superintendent of public instruc-
tion.
Unfortunately our constitution provides that
the state school superintendent shall be elected by
the people AZ the same time rs other state officers
are elected. An office which should be- wholly
separated from politics and political activity, is
thrown into the political scramble every two years.
Our constitution contains the further, and even
more serious mistake that the school superintendent
can only serve " terms and must be thrown out
AZ the cud of four years, for Il new man.
j. II. Wagner. the present state superintendent
of schools, happens To be a Republican in politics
and was elected ON the Republican ticket two years
ago. lie is a candidate for reelection. So far as
we have been able 10 ascertain Mr.. Wagner forgot
that he was a Republican on the day he took his
office and since that time has remembered only
his duty as the head of the states common school
system. lie has been highly efficient and utterly
faithful in his office. lie has spent two years there
with excellent results in better educational facilities
and better educational work throughout the state.
What is of very great Importance now is the fact
that during the past two years he has had an
opportunity TO train himself; to gather added
knowledge to see opportunities for betterments
IN a word to make himself thoroughly efficient and
of fullest value to the people and the schools.
No efficiently managed business concern
would consider for one minute replacing with a
wholly new man an employe who for two years had
delivered satisfactory results in his department and
who had shown constantly increasing efficiency. To

THE INTERRUPTED CAREER
BY DR.. FRAME CRANE


My dear hoy, thus wrote Uncle Fred To his nephew Charles. who
had been drafted into the army and was learning to be a soldier IN a
military camp, have been thinking about the conversation We had
the night before YOU left home.
Since your father died have felt as if YOU were my own son. and
am sure my interest IN You could no, be liVeier were your real
father
REGAL. that, while you were loyal in your attitude and perfectly
willing to give your life for your country, at the same time there was
n tnge of sadness upon your spirit AT the thought OF your interrupted
career
You had made a splendid beginning in your profession. No young
lawyer of my acquaintance had prospects more brilliant than yours
You had put in years of training at school and college. Al The aye
OF twentNIlnc YOU found yourself with a practice that many All
older man cnvied.
II seems hard to have to give this all up, to throw all this prepa-
ration to the winds. put on a uniform, and devote Your energies to
the work of a common l8borcr You are nOw cooking, scrubbing,
hiking. learning how to handle a gun and dig a trench
II does seen ipcOnsequcntial TO prepare a man for ten wears to
use his hfBru and then put him to work at using his hands.
You took your medicine Ike u man, however, aud went away
smiling, bat have been thinking it over and perhaps my thoughts
may assist You to remove amy roots of bitterness that may remain ia
your mind. Aud my thoughts suvcinctIy are these:
- The years you may be called on 10 spend in the army will
not be lost 10 you. You will come back to your profession with a
frcShrr and wider mind.
% When this war is over you will be- gladdcr that you went
into il than yOu would be if you had stayed out.
Oh II will be q lot easier To explain 10 others aud yourself why
sou went than il would be to explain why you did not.

No man can control destiny. The wise man adjusts himself TO IT,
that going INTO the army was the best thing that could have happened
To You.
- You are mp against Gneo of the stubborn ycrnics Everybody
finds some time in his life great boulderIike facts that will not bulge
These things make MS or break as. They are set for our salvation
or our undong
am sure that you will face this enforced discipline in that
spirit that shall make II become for YOU one of the strongest pillars
of your life and character.
Yours is not an interrupted career. God is simply taking a hand

an error should New Mexico voters now change

1t is to The credit of the democrats that they

not change u thoroughly competent, faithful, eff.
