SCHOOLS TO
HAVE BUSINESS
TRAIN HERE
Will Teach Typewriting in
High School; Junior High
To Have Course in Tele-
graphy

Superintendent Yoe Of the city schools
visited the Herald office this morning
and stated that il was the intention Of
the school board 20 open a department
Of business tra ming in the city schools
The schools are presented with the
problem of financing such project as
they have only SlG0 per month available
for such purpose.
II is proposed to make a charge Of 81
per month for this course to make up
the deficiency in funds. There are some
twelve pupils now enrolled and eight
more are desired to make this course
practical. Superintc ndent Yoe asked the
Herald to put the proposition before the
parents Of the city in the hope that a
larger enrolment in this department
might be obta ned.
TypewIiters will be purchased and a
thorough instruction in their use will be
given il the enrolment justifies. Twen-
~ pupils nj s. per month will raise an
other sl00 per month and enable the
schools 10 purchase machines and en-
ploy a competent instructor.
Junior High to Learn Te!egraphy
Students in the Junior High School
viii be taught telegraphy and the de-
tails of the work of the Western Union
office. Manager Reed Of the local West
ern Tn on has detailed special man
to teach this course 10 the Junior High.
Superintendt Yoe states that il is
his plan TO teach manual training IN the
Junior High IN the future as the city
grows. He believes that the manual
training should be impaired before the
senior high school is reached and while
the pupil is younger. as Il would be of
more benefit at that age. Skill with the
hands can be taught better az young
or age. and il is more difficult when the
pupil becomes older.

AMERICAN FLAG
NOT HOISTED
DANCE STOPPED

A peculiar incident which occurred
yesterday afternoon, il perhaps without
precedent in the annals Of the history
Of this city. and is indicative of the
close observance Of the Sheriff's force
of this county.
Customs Officer r. ID. Brown. and
Deputy Sheriff X. X. Collins. who were
on duty driving through the city To keep
an eye on all events, chanced about
o'clock, 10 drive out by Colonia Mexi-
cana, where at a dancing place. a large
number Of Mexiclns were dancing and
otherwise celebrating the Mex can ma
tionaI holiday. These two Officers, MAX
ing a survey Of the scene. saw two flag
poles, some twenty or thirty feet high.
Upon the top Of each pole was a Mexi-
can flag. one large beautiful silk flag,
tn, other not so large. There was no
b able absence Of an American flag.
Officer Collins explained the law re-
regarding flying and hoisting Of flags.
and told theNmanager Of the place he
would have 10 take down one of tn
Mexican flags. preferably the one on
the tallest pole. and raist one American
flag instead, the reby complying with the
law. The manager promised 10 do so.
Half an hour later however. when the
officers returned to see Of their com
mands had been carried out. they found
the manager haG lowered one Of the
Mexican flags but instead Of placing an
American flag on tbs pole had put a
red lantern on top Of il. The manager,
Cardenas, explained that he had no
American flag TO put up.
Officer Collins and Brown then Ie-
ported to Sheriff Robertson, who told
them 20 close up the dance at once. This
was done.
