noon; General Sessions This
Afternoon and Tonight.


Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday,
will be given entirely to the twenty
sections or so of the New Mexico Edu-
cational association. With the eXCep-
ton of the New Mexico Association
for Science, they will all meet in the
high school building. However, 1t is
the meetings Of the association for
sscience that are, perhaps, of great
est interest to the general public. for
there the latest developments in the
field of science are discussed. 1t is
also the place where original research
work done by members of the staffs
of the state institutions is often first
announced to the world. The pro-
gram this morning, which will be
given in the chemistry building, is to
begin promptly at o'clock. the hour
set for all session meetings. DR..
John D. Clark of the university, pres
ident of the association. will deliver
the annual address. It's theme is
THE Efficiency of Laboratory fol
Teaching" He will compare factory
methods of research and of training
men in science with the methods of
the college laboratory. 1t is very
significant study, practical in its
bearing in these days of commercial
and Industrial rivalry and supremacy.

Normal school at Silver City will pre-
sent paper entitled Making Math-
ematics Vital" This is mathemati-
cal age and 1t can be truly said that
mathematics won the war, although
there may be many school boy to-
dispute it.
"The Motivation of Physics Course
to Utility is another paper which
will demonstrate that abstruse science
is the handmaiden of practical life
these days. 1t will be presented by
A. F, Barnes of the State College, who
is regarded as one Of the leading ply
sicists in the southwest, j. p. Brown
lee, another member of the State
Normal school, will discuss Science
Problems and A. o. Weese of the
university will cover in a way the
activities of the new School of Hy-
giene" just established at the uni
Versty to be the laboratory and
fountainhead for the methods and
activities of the new state department
of health.
Nine Sessions at Same Time.
Nine section meetings are booked
for this forenoon, and it will be i'm
possible, of course. for any one to at
tend the sessions of more than one
or two of them, 1t is a matter of
choice, therefore. which is easy to the
specialist but @quite difficr!e ion tht
general teacher and visitor. Several
sections. such as the library section,
have not announced their program
but an effort will be made to get |
them into active work. 4
History and Historical Service.
The history section. which is the
newest of the sections, and over
which John II, Vaughn of State Col
lege, presides, has joined with the /
New Mexico Historical society and
the New Mexico historical service. Its
program this forenoon deals less with |
the history of the state as it does
with the methods of teaching history.
The papers are by educators rather
than by historians, with the exception |
of DR.. Frank H. Fl. Roberts, who Is
both Tomorrow will be given to the
place of New Mexico in the great war
from the historical standpoint. Lans-
ing Bloom of Santa F'e. who has
charge of the work of the state board
of historical service, will there give |
fects and figures of which every New
.exican has special reason to be
proud.
County superintendent Live Bunch.
The session of the county superin-
tendents' section is always the most
lively. There. practical questions of
rural school administration are
threshed out. and there you are apt to
find most of the leaders of scnool
administration, including Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction j. II.
Wagner This section always COM,
mands crowd. There are SIX num-
bers on the program and live wire
will present each, the roster of prin
cipal speakers including Mrs. Maud
A. Fielder OF Silver City, Mrs. John
w Wilson of Albuquerque, DR.. r. 4.
Mcbride of Las Cruces. Jose A. Mon
taner of Taos. R. S. Upton of Alamo
gordo, and Earl Douglas of Aztec
The patrons section, which is to
meet in Room 302 of the high school,
should draw the biggest multitude, for
even though there are 5000 teachers
in the state there are several hundred
thousand patrons and 1t is the pat
rons' children and the patrons money
that is the wherefore and wherewithal
of the schools. Two momentous prop
ositions are to be discussed: "Ameri-
canization,' with Col. Ralph r.
Twitchell, probably New Mexico's
most eloquent speaker, as the orator;
and "Child Welfare" with DIR. Sarah
Coker, one of New Mexico's most un-
selfish and best-posted professional
women, as the speaker IL is expect
ed, also, that Hon. Charles Springer
will there present his thoughts on the
"Child Welfare Service" for which
he has done so much and which he
was to have discussed at the meeting
of the council on Saturday.
Indian School Section.
This is highly specialized and yet,
of supreme importance to the state
and to its first people, the real Ameri-
