TO make II more accessible to the stu
dents and the public We hope to see
this accomplished in the near future.
We have a great problem here in
the Amerlcanization Of the foreign
born Hundreds OF boys and girls 10.
Il and IS years Of age are stiu In the
primary grades Most OF these leave
school at Il years OF age. Il is next
to impossible to teach American ideals
OF citizenship to children in grades
one TO four. especially when many Of
them are with US but a year or two.
How to aAmerieanIze.s
In order 20 teach the non-EnEIish
speaking child something Of the ad-
vantages Of American citizenship, he
should remain in school through his
18th year and until he has completed
the seventh grade.
The present state legislature Is con-
templating changes IN the attends nee
law, the child labor law and the
mothers pension law. It is proposed
to extend the age limit for school at
tendance from Il to 10 years, for 100
days each year and until every child
has completed the work OF the sew
enth grade. II is also planned TO raise
the age limit for working children
from IS to Il years and TO limit the
hours OF service TO 48 per week, none
OF which IS to be performed al night.
Pensions for Mothers.
The state legislature viii also be
asked TO provide pensions for moth
ers who are widows or deserted wives
with children. Hundreds OF children
are being deprived Of education be-
cause they have 20 work to support
their families. The passage Of these
laws viii be a great boon to the chill
dren OF FL Paso and every civic organ
lzation and thinking person in this
city should write our legislators in
support Of these measures.
Education Enemy Of BOIshevism.
II this nation Is to resist success

have a chance TO train our children
in the ways Of safe democratic form
OF government.
Just at present we are interested in
the "back-to-schoOl" drive instituted
by the federal government Thou
sands OF children OF this nation who
should be in school are doing the work
OF men and women. Fl Paso has 1000
fewer pupils IN school than last year
and 500 fewer than were enrolled last
September
The welfare OF the children them
selves and the safety Of this govern
ment demands that these children re-
turn TO school Furthermore patriot
ism demands that these boys and girls
make room for the returned soldier.

Schools Have Great Part TO Play.
The great changes Drought BY the
war have already begun TO react upon
the schools Of this nation and upon
every community In this country. The
fierce competition, and the tendencies
10 depart from sane government,
which we must meet in coming years
must be met by the schools. Courses
OF study must be revised, better teach
ng must be done, and better school
facilities must be supplied II we are

Good Manual Training.

made a good beginning Handworll
and drawing are given IN all ele-
mentary grades: sewing in the fifth
and sixth and cooking in the sew
enth grades. IN some Of the Mexican
schools where the boys and girls are
older these subjects are given as low
as the third grades.
In the eighth grades and the high
school these subjects are elective and
too often are not considered by stu
dents and parents and teachers in
making up courses The socailed
solids" too often crowd out this i'm

book work. receives more attention
proportiOnately than the second type.
This is due to the kinds Of programs
followed Schools having the dupli-
cate class plan give more attention 10
the manual arts than schools follow
ing the traditional form OF program
Elementary Science Neglected.
Owing to the lack OF school gardens
and other facilities for the teaching
OF elementary science, ] regret to say
that this phase Of our school work Is
rather too much neglected. We need
a laboratory and a school garden In
connection with every school for this
most important part Of the child's ed
ucation- We need more room for the
former and suitable ground and water
for the latter. No child's education
can be complete without proper train
ing in the beginnings OF science. We
have an excellent course Of study for
this work but we have not the facili-
ties These should be supplied with
out delay.

IN the third type Of instruction. IN

has also made a good beginning Vocal
music has been in the schools for
years. and since we have put in spe-

greatly improved in most Of the
schools.
Large opportunities for social SER
vlcv have been offered during the past
year in Red Cross work and other
forms OF war work and there can be
no doubt Of their educational value.
The work IN dramatics and IN public
speaking has also been increased IN
the past year In this connection I
wish to especially commend the work
done IN -four minute" speaking con-
tests. As son as We get back to nor

Big Shipyard Pay
Has Bad Effect on Boys

Seattle. Wash. Jan zs-High wages
as a result Of the great demand for
labor IN Sesttle's shipyards have had
q disastrous effect on the youth OF
the city, according 20 Dr. Lilburn
Merrill, chief diaEnostlcian OF the
juvenile court here. He says:
The most significant fact observed
during the last year Is the bad social
effect high wages have had on imma-
ture boys OF fourteen 70 seventeen
years OF age. who have been employed
IN shipyards. Time and again we
have been appealed to by fathers and
mothers who have lost control OF their
cons and Investigation has shown
that the trouble started when the boys
received their first big pay check.

CABIN
GOLD MIN ES
REDlSC0VERED

Basin, Wyo., June 23.-The Lost
Cabin gold mines in the Big Horn
mountains have again been discovered
but reports as to their value seem to
be conflicting. At any rate these
mines have for years figured in stories
which refer to them as possessing gold
worth ransom of an Inca emperor.
Years ago when Fort Fetterman
was the trading post for all of north
ern Wyoming, two miners laden with
gold came to the fort and declared
they had struck a bonanza in the Big
Horns. The miners insisted they had
observed signs which indicated to them
the mines had been worked many years
before. The men returned to their
claim and were never seen again. 1t
was reported they we're killed by In
dians but other rumors of sensa-
tional nature persisted.
Because the two unfortunate gold
seekers believed that the deposits had
been mined by Spanish explorers, the
region became known as the Lost
Spanish Cabin mines. For many
years Jake johnson, pioneer, has
searched for the property and at last
he believes he located the mines about
18 miles east of Hyattville. 1t is said
that nuggets found in this district
have been sent to assayers.

CHICKEN FEED
CIRCULATES IN
YUKON CITIES

Douglas, Alaska, (By MaiD-"What
would the old pioneers of this land of
gold say If they saw a friend coming
in from trip to the mines with a
poke Of dust, walking up to bar, or.
dering an ice cream soda and paying
for it with four nickels and rusty
penny?" Douglas "sourdoughs" asked
when news reached here that pennies
would be put into circulation In Alas
ko to enable residents to pay the
governments tax on so calle'i luz
uries.
Lowly copper pennies, which have
long been curiosities in ALASKA where
they were never even given the name
or dignity Of chicken feed" are slow

ern territory, much to the disgust Of
the "old timers Time was. the
"sourdoughs" say, when the twenty

smallest coin used in all Alaska At
this day in the interior of the terri

Always, of course, pennies have
been accepted by the post offices for
stamps. Keepers of the road houses
and business places in the towns and
cities would look twise at a man, how.
ever, who would offer them pennies
in barter.

more consistent dragging. This is tax
On care Of in good shape through Min

City. There is. however. between Tow
er City and Valley City a stretch Of
neglected highway which is the bane
of all tourists. From Valley City west
to the Montana line the road is above
rcproach. The Red Trail. tourists
claim. is losing prestige and business to
the Yellow trail merely because of this
Cne short strip Of bad road, and an
effort is being made to prevail upon
Barnes and Cass county officials to
have this section dragged. Tourists
are much interested in plans for con-
crete speedway on the Red Trail from
MOorhead to Minneapolis, wide enough
to accommodate five cars abreast. and
for which they state the foundation
has already been laid.
