Letters To The Herald
HIS IDEA OF SCHOOL.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Your red line stating that There
were good old days when pupils and
teachers got along together is true.
Il is true because in the good old
days the teacher usually kept a neat
bundle Of peach and willow switches
as part OF his or her equipment and
good old days school children were
not allowed any voice in the manage
ment Of the schools. Their heads
were not swelled by such things as
students councils" or students com
mittees."
Is ii any wonder that we have a
growing contempt for law and order
when even the school children are
being allowed to show contempt for
school discipline and to flaunt their
teachers and instructors? In my
opinion. school children should be al
lowed no voice whatever in the man
agement and conduct Of the schools
and every parent and every school
trustee should heartily support the
teachers N their efforts to enforce
obedience and discipline in the
schools Few parents allow their off
spring a voice in the management Of
the home
AS q father. hope the teachers OF
my children will chastise them when
they show a disobedient or arrogant
spirit and I promise to give them a
second chastisement when they return
home. Yes. in the good old days
teachers and pupils got along to-
gether because the teachers and the
parents were real" men and women
and school kids were simply school
kids and were made TO realize it.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Secretary Of war Baker is quoted as
saying that If the United States does
not join the league Of nations it Will
ever be at war. 1t has never Joined
any league Of nations and has never
had any war, excepting with the ma
jor member OF the proposed league,
and a little Internal misunderstand-
ing. The fact. in contTadistinction
to the secretary's opinion appears, 10
be just the opposite. and that is
what the United States is wanted for:
to fight the wars OF the other ma
lions.
President Wilson is. as he said Of
some members OF the United States
senate, of Independent opinion, too
wilful He sets his dictum against
what should be the greatest delibera-
tive body Of men on the earth: and
which viii become to be, when we
elect intellectual millionaires in lieu
Of property milliOnaires.
Great Britain wants to mother the
United States and is proceeding to do
so, BY having six. yea, seven times the
voting power Of the United States.
There would be some reason 20 con-
sent to this league, II the United
States were given one vote for each
state and territory. To join the league
would be of no considerable advan-
tage to the United States; but Of
great disadvantage.
President Wilson is a trained op-
portunist, but he misinterprets the
predominant American idea. else he
would never have consented to make
the United States an intermediary be-
tween pickering and effete trans-At-
lantic states.
Lloyd George may be a greater man
than our president. Such It would
appear as our president wants the
United States to enter the league as
being but one-sixth as important as
Great Britain. Remember, Great
Britain has got all she possesses by
conquest and is. no doubt. now seek
ing to reconquer the United States.
Great Britain is a patrician nation,

tied monarchy. now an aristocracy.
prouder than the blue blood Of the
First Fools Of Virginia.
President Wilson has done much to
destroy autocracy abroad, but he Is
unWittingly doing much TO establish
Il at home. I think our senate had
best repudiate both the peace pact and
league Of nations. They are cumber-
somely proposed. And the United
States does not need them We have
troubles of our own, and cannot az
ford to shoulder other peoples sins;
nor fight their battles.
