Governor Larrazolo, in his message
to the state legislature today, laid
particular emphasis upon better
school facilities and urged that the
present tax levy of ne-half mill for
the state school fund be increased TO
one and one-half mills; that both
English and Spanish be taught in the
rural schools as far as practicable,
and that the teaching of the Spanish
language be ma lie compulsory in the
four grades of the high schools of the
state and in the four grades of the
higher state educational institutions
Free school books for the children of
poor parents were also urged.
Among the other recommendations
ln~ the message We're a reform school
for girls the creation of a child con-
servation board. legislation to estab-
lish state board of health highway
construction. reclamation of the water
logged lands in the Rio Grande val
ley, employment for homecoming SOL
diers, state financial aid for farmers
and stockmen who suffered from the
drouth, reduction of the membership
of the tax commission TO three men,
bers, who shall be salaried officers
and shall be required to give all their
time and attention to that subject;
building railroad into the San Juan
country, the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment giving women the
right of suffrage on an equality with
men; arbitration of disputes between
labor and capital and ratification Of
the national constitutional prohibition

Better Educational System.
After few introductory remarks
the governor plunged into recommen-
dations for bettering our educational
system. "a man bern TO rule and to
govern must qualify himself for the
le.sesste -sstsSs 0fat lSsfit sN.e5sseS Oh Bov-
ernrnent" he said This can only be
accomplished through and by the
agency of the school room. Under our
laws every man in this country, be
his origin ever so humble. may be
called upon to exercise the functions
of coverings. That being true, every
American citizen should attain the
highest possible degree of education.
Our system of public schools will
stand comparison for efficiency with
the system of any other state in the
union. Yet is there still room for inn
provement And first / wish to call
attention to the fact that while in this
country laborers in the most common
and most humble pursuits of indus
trial life. requiring no particular train
ing or education. are paid higher
wages than can be secured in any
other nation in the world the teach
ers in our elementary schools are most
shamefully underpaid--so much so
that, considering the increased cost of

SERIOUS CHARGES
BROUGHT AGAINST
GERRY SOCIETY
inSolente and Placing innocent
Boy With Criminals
Are Alleged.

The treatment accorded by the
Gerry Society to twelve year-old Billy
Thompson Of Wooster, Mass, who ac-
cidentally shot and killed his mother,
Mrs. Maud Thompson, on Riverside
Drive. ten days ago. has been The
cause OF many complaints from
friends and relatives OF the boy
At | o'clock on the night Of the
shooting representatives OF the Gerry
Society came and took Billy to the
society building and locked him up.
In the same cell were number of
professional child criminals who met
the boy with questions such as What
are you in for?" One in particular,
who had acquired fame as a juvenile
pickpocket, proceeded to illustrate tha
arts OF his trade and the most inn
proved ways OF relieving the unwary
of watch or money.
The father OF the stricken boy.
Major Leslie Thompson, was IN
France at the time with the 3Oith In
fantry. Friends of the family cfl.m
they went to the Gerry Society cary
the following morning TO see the boy,
and, II possible. to obtain his custody
pending the investigation. They were
informed that relatives only were al
lowed to see prisoners OF the society.
/ sister OF Mrs. Thompson and her
husband, a prominent Worccs er,
Mass, business man. were notified at
once Of the state OF affairs. Thcy
came to the boy Immediately. but
found the keeper Indifferent and
insolent.
ut is not the time for visiting
now he said.
1t was then explained that the
shooting had been entirely accidental,
and that the uncle and aunt merely
wished TO see their nephew and cheer
him UP.
We'll, II that's the way you feel, I
guess better not let you sec him.
What are YOU going tOHo? rat a
boy like that on the Dack?'
FINALLY he was persuaded to let the
boy come down from the cell for i've
minutes, but even then Billy was not
allowed to come outside an iron graf
ing, but was forced to talk through
the bars.
From the Information given The
Evening World by relatives of the
boy, {; was evident tnat they were
Vcry much dissatisfied with the way
the Gerry Society handled the affair.
The agents failed to recognize, they
assert. that the boy was not a crimt-
mai mouitinE stringent treatment,
but ON the contrary was merely the
grief stricken victim Of an unfortun-
ate accident. They also claimed that
the relatives and friends were not
courteously received by the agents. IN
