NOTICE TO PATRONS OF
THE TUCUMCARI SCHOOLS

We are just closing a half year of
school that has been crowded beyond
all precedent with misfortune and ca
lamity. We are at last getting we'll
organized on a firm footing and the
clouds have about vanished. We may
yet be able to do fairly satisfactory
year of work if teachers, pupils and
parents all pull together.
We are making the daily sessions
little longer than usual and trying
to drive at little faster pace than
usual. This rush work would not be
justifable under conditions, but be-
lieve you will agree that in this emer-
gency it is. And ] wish to ask you all
to cooperate with us, for if we are
to get satisfactory years work done
we must all sacrifice little, and put
forth special effort. Do not permit
your childre 10 he absent from school
or to be tardy except when it is ur-
gently necessary. lrregularity is the
bane of progress. Home study by the
little folks is not necessary, and usual
~ not advisable. But those in the
grammar grades and high school could
spend about one hour each evening at
hard study to good advantage. This
might prevent failure in few cases.
Again assuring you that your hearty
co-operation will be highly appreciated
to the end that all may go lover the
top" Yours truly,
u. o. ANDERSON, Supt.

URIAS JOHNSTON DEAD

Urias Johnston was born March 90
lS49, and died Monday at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. c. w. Vaughn, in
this city after an illness of only a few
days duration. The remains were laid
to rest In Sunnyside cemetery Tuesday
afternoon at $3.50 after short funeral
service had been conducted at the res
idence of Mrs. Vaughn
Mr. Johnston was one of our pioneer
farmers and had made crop every
year by hard work. He was true
American and loved to read Of the
successes of the American soldiers,
and the news of victory for the Allies
was received by no one who appre-
ciated it more than did Mr.. Johnston.
He had read much and was greatly in
.terested in the outcome and would
gladly have given his services had he
been younger. The county has lost
one of its best citizens and the News
joins the many friends in extending
sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

FATHERS AND SONS
TO Be BANQUETTtD
FEB. 20 At GYM.

The Fathers and Sons banquet has
been set for next Thursday night at
the High School Gym. The ladies who
will have charge of the eats are anx-
ious to find out approximately how
many fathers or sons expect TO be in
attendance. To obtain this informa-
ton they ask you to register at either
drug store where place has been pre-
pared for you.
Other towns over the state observed
this week as Fathers and Sons Week,
but owing to other things which could
not be avoided it was thought best TO
put il off a week. Every father who
thinks anything Of his son is asked to
be present. The dinner is free to you
if you are accompanied by father or
son or one adopted for that night.
The famous Boy Scout Band will be
there and the Chamber of Commerce
band will assist in furnishing the in
strumental music. A program is be-
ing arranged and although your stom-
ach is bad and you don't enjoy eating
you will perhaps appreciate an even
ing away from home. Boys see that
your fathers attend. This move is one
of the best ever started for the good
of the boys. Don't forget to register
at the drug stores.

BUILDING GOOD ROAD

The commissioners have order work
commenced again on the Ragland road
and Mr.. Shope, one of the best road
builders in the state. has been employ
ed to do the work. He has made the
best piece OF road in the county at the
Ragland Cap, so farmers from that
part say. They have recommended
him most highly and he has consented
to take charge of the work which will
be done this spring all along the route.
A number of merchants in Tucumcari
contributed last week to the fund and
together with the $4,000 available this
road will be put in passable condition.
II is impossible to build a 30-Lile road
for a few thousand dollars, but Mr..
Shope will improve II so man won't
lose his religion every time he has to
travel over il.

A WAR CLOUD THREATENS

Grim-visaged war is again making
faces at the world. This time the
countries involved are China and Ja-
pan, two Oriental neighbors who have
not been able to get along for long
time.
Japan has formally declared that she
intends to insist upon the execution OF
a secret treaty entered into with China
last September, by the terms of which
she becomes possessed of Shantung
Unofficial but apparently reliable As
sociated Press dispatches supplement
this official announcement by making
known the alarm that the associated
powers feel Of Japan's entire attitude
toward China, which is said to be be-
coming unbearable. Dai Nippon is
reported as threatening war on China
il the latter makes public the secre,
treaties that have been drawn up be-
tween the two countries, and fails to
give up Shantung.
The peace conference cannot afford
to let this controversy go unsettled.
1t would be difficult to keep war be-
tween China and Japan within their
own back yards. Eventually, some il
not all Of the great Occidental pow
ers would be involved.
II is too early to Judge the merits
Of the controversy. The full story
will not be known until the terms of
the secret pacts are made known. So
far, China seems to have the better
side of the argument, from purely
ethical point of view. II is to be hop
ed that Japan can clear herself from
the charge Of Imperialism which China
has made against her.
Let every nation in the world be
warned that the rest of the globe is not
going to tolerate imperialism, no mat
ter where found. Eventually the whole
world becomes involved as a result of
the pushing of imperia!istic claims,
(which grow by what they feed on"
Greed and desire for world-conquest
caused the war with Germany; let US
hope that the wise men at the peace
will see to it that the world
is not plunged into similar conflict
so soon again.
In the meanwhile, let US suspend
final judgment in the Japan China
squabble until all the facts stand re-
vealed. Let US remember that both
were our allies against the
Hun, and deserve at least this much
forbearance from us.--Albaquerque

GOVERNORS SCHOOL BILLS
NOW UP BEFORE HOUSE

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb. 12.--Governor
o. A. Larrazolo's program of educa-
tional legislation made it's appearance
this morning in a Sc les of six bills
presented to the house of representa-
tives by Speaker Sedi.lo and Republi-
can Floor Leader Barnes. The meas
ures follow closely the outlines given
in the governors message to the legis-
lature four weeks ago.
The suggestions include q proposal
for free text books for the children
Of INDECENT parents, the compulsory
teaching of Spanish, in high schools
and the higher educational institu-
tions, high schools in industrial CEN
ters, free schools for fifty student
teachers, and the employment Of
teachers who can read, write and
speak the Spanish language, in dis"
tricts where the people are largely
Spanish speaking.
The free text book bill is not n
blanket provision for the general pur-
chase Of books, such as was intro
duced by Representative Padilla Of
Bernalillo county. 1t permits the
boards Of education to settle the prob
lem locally, buying books costing not
to exceed Si00 per year in any dis
trict, for poor children.
Bill No. l54 provides that all high
school students and all students in
the University of New Mexico, the
State Agricultural college, the School
of Mines, Military Institute, Normal
university and Normal school and the
Spanish American Normal school,
shall be compelled to study Spanish,
but that no student shall be COM
PEELED to continue such study for more
than total of four years.
There are two measures covering
night schools. One states that any
person, firm or corporation employ
ing more than 100 persons, fifteen
percent of whom are unable to read,
write and speak English, shall pro-
vide night schools at their own ex-
pense. The other requires school dis
tricts where more than ten persons are
illiterate, to hold night courses pro-
vided such would be practical,
The free schooling bill amends sec
tion 4, chapter 80, 1915 session laws,
making the appropriation of $4,000
for student teachers, an annual ap-
preparation. The sum of $500 should
be allowed each student teacher to
pay necessary expenses.
The final bill in the governors pro-
gram requires that teachers in rural
school districts, inhabited principally
by Spanish speaking people, must be
able to write, read and speak the
Spanish language and that these teach
ers shall translate all reading lessons
into the Spanish language and teach
their students to read in Spanish.
Whenever it is impossible to Sc
cure teachers with this bi-lingual
qualification the act will not apply.
Governor Larrazolo completed his
taxation message to the legislature
this afternoon and was expected to
deliver it at a joint session of the
two houses tomorrow morning. He
had wished to make his recommended
tions tonight but stated that rush
Of business had prevented him from
having them ready before tomorrow.
The budget will be presented to the
legislature within the next two or
three days and the sessions serious
business will be launched with rush.
