A

The industrial efficiency, the eco
nomic soundness, and the civic right
eousness of the State, very largely
depend upon our educational sys-
tenn. Ignorance is the greatest ally
of poor citizenship. 1t should be our
objective that no person in this State
who a be brought under our in
fluence should be without the ability
to read and write, or without a clear
conception of our American institu-
tions and ideals. The youth, the
future citizen of the State. is a God
given resource which should be con-
served with all of our energy. The
fundamental law itself places the
duty on the Legislature to provide
for the maintenance and support Of
a system of free common schools.
The most vital force in the school,
room is the teacher. The highest
standard of qualifications consistent
with prevailing economic and finan-
cial conditions should be insisted up
on. The efficiency of the school
cannot rise above the standard Of
qualifications set for the teaching
service. To bring this about the
teachers should be adequately paid
and fairly pensioned.
strongly recommend that what
ever curtailment may be necessary
elsewhere, full and adequate provi-
sion be made for the education and
training of our children.-Governor
Alfred E. Smith of New York in his
message.

A sUPERlNTENDENrs ADVICE.

A certain County School Superin-
tendent once addressed his teachers
concerning their school work n
which he brought III many excellent
points, which included the follow
ing:
Good order means. not only, that
the children are quiet and orderly
in their movements, but that every
thing about the school should be
done in a quiet and orderly manne-.
Have a program for your work and
then call and dismiss your classes
on time. Prepare a place for every-
thing and then keep everything. in
its place. The children will thus
learn habits of system and neatness.
Children learn some of their most
valuable lessons in a well conducted
school outside of books. The habits
of neatness and promptness are the
most valuable you can teach your
pupils"
This IS the time of the year when
the big boys are in school. If not
they ought to be. Have you done all
that you should to make their school
work profitable to them? So AR
range the program that these boys
will get their Just share of your time.
| Strive to interest them in their work
and show them the absolute neces-
sity of finishing the work OF the
country school and try to get then
to take up work in some higher
school. Make the work in your
school so valuable that they can
not afford to stay away"
The latter paragraph is especially
c%ommendable since there is a ten.
dency on the part of the "big boy:'
to quit school too oon Too muck
inducement can hardly be brought
to fear upon their remaining ia
school.-Educational News Bulletin

THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT 1T

During the past two months a
series OF articles have been appearing
in the leading newspapers owe the
State, setting forth the activities OF
our health situation in New Mexico.
They have been interesting, even
compelling. a.,
We have had the special health
problems that result from our loca-
ton, the nature of our occupations
and the fact that the state is a health
resort for the tuberculous, pointed
out to us.
!, In spite of the fact that there is
no state machinery for the collection
of vital statistics we have learned
thru records kept by county clerI
and in some instances societies and
individuals that our death rate is
awav above what it should be, eS'
pccially in ~prcventable diseases
Imong children.
We have learned that more OF oui
pcoplc have been lost in single coun
ties alone as a result OF the 'nt'uen-
"a epidemic than were lost by th'
! entire State dur'ng the war. Or'
loss during the war is estimated a
400. whereas in Taos County, foi
instance. the quarantine Officers, a
work in the various precincts re
ported 487 deaths during the he'gh
Of the epidemic in October ant
November. There are other coun
ties where conditions were as ba'
and the epidemic is not over yet
Many of these lives might have beer
saved thru an adequate state health
organization. -,
II has been shown in these article
that the present board of health
while composed of excellent men
is powerless thru lack OF funds anf
a central administration linking W
the city and county health organiza
ton for greater efficiency and STAND
ardization of work.
The amounts being spent TO
health protection in other state

Mexico's have been shown n 1t ma

bursement Of money expended for the
state, in completing a contract for the
erection of buildings at Mansfield for
the care of epileptic and feeble minded
persons 1t appeared that the work
was commenced in March, 1916, and
completed Aug. 1,191S. The contract
price for the buildings was $126, 330.78,
a difference of only $500 in the bid of
the nearest competitor. The firm com,
pleted the contract at cost of S149,-
236.43. at a loss of S22,905.65. The loss
the state is asked to reimburse. The
| loss was caused by the abnormal con-
ditions created by the war, on the scar
! city of labor, the delay in delivery and
increased cost of material, as well as
| the increase in wages to employees.
There was scarcity of help even in
populous centres and it was extreme
| ly difficult to get men to work in Mans
| field when they could get employment
| in WilGmantic. In 1917, the state was
required to pay for a duplicate build
ing at Mansfield $4,000, while Doyle
| & Murphy's compensation for the
same kind of a building was $8S, 900,
| thus showing the change in the price
of labor and material, after the con-
tract with Doyle & Murphy. This has
seriously affected the finances of the
company. The contract was not aban-
doned, as the firms reputation was at
stake which outweigted the monetary
| consideration.
William O'Connor one Of the trus-
tees of the Mansfield institution, stated
| that Doyle and Murphy gave the best
| of satisfaction, did their work well and
! carried their contract to completion,
! despite their loss, for which they were
not responsible. The state is the
beneficiary in having the buildings
| completed and as an act of justice
ought to make good the loss of the con-
| tractors.
Had war conditions not prevailed
there would have been a profit of about
4 s12 600 on the contract. The firm does
not state that it has legal claim
against the state as the contract price
has been paid, but due TO war condi-
lions the firm believes they ought to
be reimbursed for the money paid out
for the benefit of the state. 4
The second in the series of lectures
dealing with home economics was held
Thursday. afternoon at the Woman's
Club room. There was a good attend

of the extension service department al
Storrs College. Mr.. Dodge gave a
splendid talk on the need of Women's
Work in connection with the after the
war emergency and among other things
said that the standard of living main
tanned by most people during the war
should not be lowered. He also dwell
to some extent upon the subject o.
Americanization. Miss Sprague spoke
of the need for the work of the home
demonstration agent in the city as vel
as in the rural districts and on allud-
ing to the apparent shortage of ic.
