HOSPITAL CHANGED
County Hospital Used for Treatment
CT Venerea, Diseases TO Be Ciseon-
.inued as Such-Wiii be Opened as
Public Emergency Hospital.

Following the appearance OF DR.. w.
s. Conkling, rcpresting the state board
Of health and United States public
health service before the county board
CT supervisors this morning, the Sc
sresation hospital, which the county
built near the Jail for the segregation
Of patients afflicted with venereal
diseases, will be abandoned as segTe-
CATION hospital and will DO used hence
forth as a public emergency hospital
open to the county for any and all
cases that can not be taken care Of In
regular hospitals.
Fear Of publicity and unwillingress
to be treated in place which might
be treQuented by the more extreme
disreputa bles has kept people away
from the county hospital quite sener-
ally, in fact the govcrnpent policy In
regulation Of the black plague has
changed since the war. Hereafter the
county will maintain a free clinic for
the treatment Of venereal diseases at
POI Masonic Temple, where people
can be treated in private at public eX-
pense II unable to employ their own
physicians, but the only public record
made OF their treatment will be by
number. The doctor Will be the only
person Informed as to the identity Of
the person treated. Public peace au-
thorities will still retain power in law
TO intern cases whenever the afflicted
persons are known to be wilfully
spreading the disease but this will
happen very seldom. The plan of
maintaining a public hospital for these
diseases has proved the failure which
many predicted for II.
DR.. Conkling went to France as reg
mental surgeon for the lsSth infan-
try in the famous Rainbow division.
and came back lieutenant coloied In
command OF the 1I7th sanitary train.
He had served in the PHILIPPINES as
assistant surgeon IN the Fifty-f first
Iowa. He said today that II the gen.
eral public could ever become as clean
as the average among young men of
the A. z. r. there would be no more
need Of public effort In combating the
black plague. At present, however.

people than tuberculosis and pneu-

and scarlet fever. The present plan Of

WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH PARENTS?.

Two prominent men of the
state, one leading educator
and the other a leading jurist,
speaking in Estancia recently,
have taken a fall out of pa
rents.
President Roberts of the Las
Vegas Normal School, speak
ing on the occasion of the COM
mencement exercises of the
Estancia High School, said
something to this effect: He
had never expelled but one
boy from school, and in that
case it would have been going
nearer the mark to have taken
club to the father of the boy.
Meaning very plainly thereby
that the father of the boy was
to blame, and in effect had
deprived his son of an educa-
ton.
Judge Mechem of this dis
trict, speaking on Decoration
Day, is said to have advocated
the rearing and educating of
children by the government,
either of the nation or state.
He was led to this by refer
ence to cases of juvenile delin-
quency coming under his no.
tice either as lawyer or jur-
ist.
1t is quite evident from this
that Judge Mechem considers
the average parent unfit or in
competent to rear children.
Any observer who thinks,
knows that there are many
parents unfit and incompetent
to train children, while there
are many others who are
neither unfit nor incompetent,
but are simply too lazy.
And this is not taking into
account those who are unfit,
physically and mentally, to
propagate the species.
What is to be done about it?
We are spending millions on
the education of children,
much of which is wasted be-
cause of the unfitness, incom-
potency and laziness of par
ents.
Perhaps schools for parents
should be established, with a
very stiff truancy law.
Or. would it be better to
adopt Prof. Roberts sugges-
ton of a good wet-elm club,
plentifully supple d with
knots?
Why wouldn't it be right
and proper to enact laws hold
ing parents responsible for the
offenses of juveniles, and
when a child goes wrong,
prosecute the parents?
The law holds owners re-
sponsible for unruly animals.
Why shouldn't it hold parents
amenable for unruly children?
Is it not a correct theory
that where children go wrong
the parents are the real Grim
inals?

SUCCESSFUL DECORATION
EXERCISES

Decoration Day exercises in
Estancia were very interesting
and successful.
With one or two exceptions
every number on the program
was given, all acquitting them
selves with credit.
The principal speakers were
DR.. Jameson, Fred Ayers, DR..
Bright and Judge Mechem,
and all the addresses were
good, both in form and
thought.
Twenty-Five or thirty Of the
soldier boys of the Great War
were present and participated
in the exercises, with two SOL
diers of the Civil War, j. M.
Wood and A. w. Artman
were the two old boys. Two
others, J. w. Hubbard and
Moses Smith of Lucy, arrived
too late to participate in the
exercises. There are three
other old soldiers resident in
the county that we know Of
Mr.. Croft of Moriarty, who
probably did not feel able to
make the trip, j. w. Davis
living northwest of Mcintosh
who is absent in Kansas, and
Nathan Brown of Lucy.
The Red Cross women gave
a fine dinner to the soldiers.
After dinner about twenty
five of the young boys and two
of the old ones, Messrs. Wood
and Artman, with a company
of girls headed by Miss Cath
crime Garvin dressed as Colum-
bia and Miss Noel Daugherty,
gave an exhibition drill and
march, making a fine and in
spring appearance.
The ranks of the old boys
are growing thinner as the
years go by, and it will fall to
the young boys to keep up this
beautiful custom of holding
memorial services and dec
Grating the graves of our
dead.
The committees having in
charge the various features of
the 1919 Decoration exercises
are entitled to much credit.

The court having learned
of facts suggesting that said

good reason to believe and be-
lieving that there is property
in Arkansas which is secreted

that the administrator investi-

given to such administrator to

TEACHERS
INSTITUTE

County Superintendent Thos.
B. Rapkoch opened the annual
Torrance County Teachers In
stitute on June End with a well
come address to his teachers
and Institute workers.
The attendance is smaller
than usual owing to the fact
that a large percent of our
teachers are attending summer
school where they get in eight
weeks instead of two and also
get credit for work toward
higher certification.
On the authority of the
|State Department of Educa-
ton, the teachers of this coun-
ty rank higher in education
than those Of any other coun-
ty in the state, probably due to
the fact that our Normal
schools have a large yearly
representation from Torrance
county.
We are indeed fortunate in
having such we'll equipped In
stitute instructors. Miss Lee
keenan,, the Conductress, is a
teacher in the Santa Fe High
School, a student from the
Chicago University, and has
been doing Institute work over
the state for several years.
Miss Clara Boeke, one of the
assistants, is a graduate of the
Chicago University and has al
so studied abroad a year, hav-
ing visited the Montessori
school in Italy.
We are all acquainted with
the splendid qualities of the
other assistant, Mrs. L. A.
Rousseau, the English teacher
in our city High School.
Out of the twenty-five teach
ers in attendance only two hold
third grade certificates and
ten are holders of first grade
certificates and are attending
Institute simply because the
State Department requires
that every teacher shall at
tend if not in summer school.
With such splendid instruc-
tors, backed by our progressive
county superintendent, our In
stitute is bound to be a sue
cess.
Following is a list of the
teachers in attendance:
Laura Kirchof, Willard.
Alice Hoyland, Mountainair.
Viola Mcguire, Mountainair.
Mildred Webb, Moriarty.
Mrs. T. N. Russell, Moriarty.
IF. Chavez, Pinos Wells.
