ISSUES OF WAR ARETAUCHT IN

ALBUQUERQUE N. M, Jan. 27 (by Associated Press) ).-Correlatio of history and geography text ma terial with current world events and movements by means of supplement- al work with periodicals, government pamphlets and war maps. encourage ment of practical patriotism in the form of actual war work. in the form of garden clubs and thrift clubs. by the students themselves and greater emphasis on personal morality as a condition precedent to national moral i iy-these are some of the immediate changes that have been wrought on New Mexicos school system by the world war.
 According to Dr. Frinklin H. H. Roberts, president of the Las Vegas State Normal school, 14.000 copies of handbook on the war, prepared l by a national patriotic organization l have been distributed to the school
 
 those in the seventh. eighth and high school grades. This booklet has been accepted as a textbook by the state department of education.
 Newspapers, magazines and goven. ment pamphlets have been used ex- tensively in this state for the pur ,t,,,,, ,ln understanding of the issues involved in the world conflict. In some dis tricts, war maps with push pins have been employed to present the war game in a graphic and absorbing light. College presidents. among them Dr. David K. Boyd president of the University of New Mexico. have been strong in their endorse ment and almost unanimous in their adoption of these methods of teach, | ing the war.
 With the establishment of garden 1 clubs and thrift clubs. the school children of the state have been made to realize thelr partnership Tn the great cause for which America fought. The boys working reserve, in charge of the state superintendent of education. has done valuable work in finding employment for youths from sixteen to twenty-one years of age. The Junior Red Cross has also been given d prominent place in the schools.
 A less tangible but none the less real effect of the war has been the | quickening of the adolescent con | science. School children are being , taught that it is mere cant to speak of new national and international morality unless the individual nor. alty is heightened in proportion 1 The young snind has been lead to see the ethical application of the geometrical axiom: The whole is equal to the sum of its parts"

VAN DYKE TAKES SHOT AT WICKED
 WAYS OF WORLD

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 11.-Highway robberies, race riots and murders seem to be increasing in spite of pro- hibftion" said Dr. Henry Van Dyke. former American Minister to the Netherlands, in an address here to- night before the Worlds Christian Citizenship Conference.
 ''The world may be more sober,'' he said, "but it certainly is not more sane. On the contrary, 1t seems as If the pressure of human passion and impulse has become more intense while the restraint of reason and con science has relaxed. What else could you expect from a world which does not gosto church and whose chief in tellectuaI influence is the moving pie ture show?"
 Referring to movements under way for better day, pr. Van Dyke said it was inevitable that there should be a partnership, a League of Ma tions, to prevent or suppress any new outbreak of the war madness which had cost the world about s200,000,- OOO,oOo, nearly S.oO0,OoO men slain and countless thousa nds of aged men, women and children starved to death.
 "The frivoIity of certain American senator's" he said, may keep us out of the League for a brief time but in the end 1t is coming and we shall be in it as sure as there is a God in heaven and a dominant common sense in the American people" The speaker asserted "collective bargain ing'' between capital and labor has come to stay and that labor unions are indispensable but that the respon- sibiity of both to the public must be recognized.
 Secrecy in regard to the condi- tions of labor and the accumulation of wealth must and will be abolish ed,'' declared Dr. Van Dyke. The books of the great corporations and of the labor unions must be open to inspection. The common people, who are neither proletarian nor capitalist, have a right to know what goes on behind closed doors.

GREAT TENOR
 MCCORMACK
 HERE SUNDAY

'"There Is 8 simplicity which amounts to grandeur as the singer gives you his voice in song, a charm and facinatfon that holds you pow erless to do ought but admire and marvel" says a well known maga- zine writer in referring to John Me- Cormack, the world renowned tenor. who will be heard at Polls theatre next Sunday afternoon.
 You feel that he might sing just as well before the nobility as in the cottage of his Irish neighbors, and there is nothing about him to indi- cate that he is one of the most cele~ brated and one of the highest priced tenors in the world. He is very nat ural, and it makes him very great because he Is so.
 An Irishman, born to the soil of that charming and romantic country, John Mccormack might as naturally be expected to throw his entire per sonality, his life and his God-given. musical powers, into a presen tion of the songs that likely his mother sang to him when he was a child. They were his native songs, weird and filled with legends and gripped the audience in a way that few singers might hope to grip their hearers. To hear him as he throws the tenderness and temperament of his Irish char acter into the crisp little love songs of his native people, Is one of the de- hghtful and inspirattng experiences of a lifetime.
 There was a freshness, 8 vtriIity, a certain mething that cannot be de- scribed, in the art of this great demo- erat of the world of song"
