EDUCATING THE DEAF AND BLIND
BY GRACE NICHOLAS HUME.

ly kill the germs of the foul dis
ease and save the baby's precious
sight? Why not instruct>your rep
resentative to follow the example
of the most progressive states and
help enact a law requiring such a
prophylactic to be used by every
doctor or midwife who officiates
at the birth of any baby, regard
less of race or color? 1t can do no
harm and it is saving the vision
of hundreds of babies all over the
United States babies who would
grow to school age partially or to-
tally blind and O. burden upon the
taxpayers of the state because of
the expense of the special educa-
ton which the blind child must
have if he is to be a useful mem
Der of society.
Whatever legislation may be en-
acted relative to the deaf and the
blind in the present session of the
New Mexico legislature, let it look
toward the enlargement and not
the curtailment of their facilities
for education, the amelioration of
their condition in every practical
way and so far as possible the pre-
yention of such an unfortunate
state in the coming generation.
Teachers in the grades and high
schools of New Mexico are required
to hold state certificate to teach
before they can receive publlc
moneys. There is no reason why
instructors in the state institutions
who are teaching grade and high
school subjects should not meet the
same requirement.
We are acquainted with an in
stitution where immature pupils
have habitually been pressed into
service to teach their younger fell
lows with results anything but hap
by to all concerned. Last year a
girl of nineteen, considered nor
mally bright, finished the eight
grade of the school referred to
with great aplomb and much pub
licity. She is said to have attend
ed the institution fourteen consec-
utiye years, but this detail was
carefully suppressed and the public
saw only the glow and the glory,
Another girl of over 81 will next
year complete the equivalent OF
about a two-year high school
course-her friends say she will
have attended the institution 10
years, long enough. with proper
training, to have finished full
high school course and ito be a
senior in college.
Students with their normal rae
ulties who attend the state univer-
sitv and the normal schools can be
depended upon to look out for
themselves, but institutions where
children, especially children lack
ing one of the five senses, are kept
nine months out of the year, need
on account of their isolation, the
utmost publicity, as to their inner
workings, and this is possible only
with adequate supervision such as
a state board could give.

I RUSSIAN TOTS
BARRED OUT Of
UNITED STATES
Children Brought Here for
Adoption BY Rear Admiral
McCulIy Are Excluded BY
immigration Board.
(By The Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 4.-Seven Rus
sian children brought here for
adoption by Rear Admiral Newton
A. McCully, former American high
commissioner at Sebastopol, We're
ordered excluded from the country
by an immigration board of in
quny at Ellis Island today.
The order fell like wet blanket
on the hopes OF the youngsters and
the admiral, who had played Santa
Claus and father to them all the
way from their native land on the
collier Ramapo. They were to be
his wards and his heirs, sharing
his home at Washington and en-
joying all the educational facilities
he could give them.
But the admiral announced that
he Immediately would take an APP
peal to the secretary of labor at
Washington; that he was ready to
post as many and as as high bon DIS
as would be asked, and that he in
tended to fight to the last ditch for
admittance of the children. In the
meantime, pending a ruling from
Washington, the children will be
detained at Ellis Island.
Three other Russian children are
to come to America later for adop-
ton by the admiral, making his
brood ten, should they be allowed
to enter the country. He is a
bachelor, but his niece would help
him care for the children, Admiral
McCully said.
The youngsters are all Russian
blue bloods," he declared. Now he
is ready to give them his name,
educate them and make them his
heirs.
The names of the seven children
are Nokolai Smnov, IL; Loudmila
Manetzkaya, IL; Anastasia Sherba-
TOW, 10; Nina Furinan, 8; FEEDER
Pozo, 4; Ninotaski Klimenko, 3,
and Eugenia Selifanova. 10, in
charge of the others. Eugenia has
been trained as nurse.

CIRCULAR Tells
WHAT CENTENARY
MONEY IS DOING
Methodists Issue a Report
Showing Expansion of
Missionary Work, Both in
Home and Foreign Fields.
fnx mn, AssocIated Press. J

Chicago, Jan. A picture OF
worldwide missionary enterprise
on a scale making history for the
i Methodist Episcopal church is pre-
scented in report just made public
here. The report summarizes first
year expenditures and achieve
-ments under the centenary fund
recently raised by this church.
In the centenary campaign more
than 100000 people contributed
to the sos, 100000 pledged, it is
stated. The circular prepared by
the church's committee on conser-
walton and advance entitled,
'What Centenary Money Is Doing"
is designated as a report to donors.
Broad expansion at home as well
as abroad is noted. Among major
features of this development dur
ing 1920 are mentioned the fol-
lowing:
Work is Seing done among for
eign speaking people in the United
States by 1872 English speaking
pastors, 283 foreign language pas
tors, 1872 women workers and 141
other special workers.
Two hundred and twenty-five
foreign language students are in
training at colleges, universities
and schools.
One million, ninety-three thou
,sand, nine hundred and seventy
nine dollars and forty-one cents
was spent to continue work in and
near military and naval stations;
to help equip Methodist chaplains
to promote goodwill industries; to
provide adequate ministry in negro
districts, congested by the north
ward migration, and In great in
dustrial centers developed by war
industries; to provide community
centers in rural neighborhoods in
creased as a result of the war; to
promote Americanization, and to
provide scholarships for Methodist
boys whose educational training
was interrupted when they went
to fight for Uncle Sam"
Surveying Methodist Endeavor
abroad, the report says that CEN
tenary funds saved the whole
Methodist Episcopal work in China
and India from disaster imminent
on the great reduction in value in
purchasing power of the American
dollar.
At Singapore $4,000 was spent
on the Anglo-C Chinese school. Chi
nese in that city have contributed
close to 100000.
Extensive projects have been laid
out for Japan where the direct APP
preparation last year was $166,714.
The Korean appropriation was
$122,256. Twenty-six new mission
aries were sent to Africa, marking
IAN increase of rs per cent"
Physical relief extended to Eu-

dreds of thousands of dollars.

Luck For
This Poor Lad

Vioiators Of the law in general
seem to know that a plea Of guilty
without going to trial, sometimes
wins the leniency of the court, and
those who are WISE enter a plea
OF guilty for that reason.
But never before did Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney John W. Ma
son, Jr.. find any malefactor SO
dead anxious to enter q plea OF
guilty as Arthur Moody was this
afternoon.
In making a visit to the county
iail, the assistant prosecuting at
torney was told that the negro who
was arrested last night wanted to
nut himself on the mercy. OF the
court without delay. In fact, II
was feared that Arthur, in his
eagerness might break out through
the bars. before they could open
the cell door to lead him to the
court house.
All the Jay to the office Of Jus
tIce NJ. r. Musgrove, Arthur kept
~reiterating. "Yassir, yasstr,
done goin' plead guilty. Ah'm
guilty all right an Aim goin' to
confess to the Jedge, Jess as soon
as All can"
On the way to the Justices of
fices. Arthur encountered two col
ored friends, who offered to Sc
cure the services Of an attorney
for him but he waved them aside
and headed the procession into
the Justices Office, proclaiming his
guilt in O loud voice. :,
Never having encountered such
eagerness before under like cir
cumstances, the states attorney
was greatly puzzled, until after
some deep thought q light broke in
and he asked the Justice casually
"Has this man ever been convict
ed before Of such a charger"
A search Of the records Of the
/ office showed than on April II
last, Arthur was convisted in the
same court Of violating the same
law under which he was arrested
last night and given q sentence Of
go days and fined 500 and costs
This second offense, constitutes Q
felonyS and Arthur now has the
penitentiary staring him in the
face.
OF course. his plea Of guilty to q
mIsdemeanor was not accepted un-
| der the circumstances and he wal
led back to his cell, mourning the
excess Of zeal that had aroused tue
suspicious of the states attorney.
