MEXICANS ARE NOT
CASTILIANS.

To The Editor:
L read in last Sundays Light
where some party who signed his
letter, Tolerane. says that the aver
age persons judge the Mexican peo-
pie by few day laborers. To this
Ill answer that it's true that there
are 'lots" of Castilian blood in
Mexico, but the Castilian blood
that is there are Spaniards. The
same feeling is in Mexico. Spain
and Mexico had a war and Mexico has
never gotten over it and they have
as much love for Spain as they have
for America.
Right here in San Antonio we have
about 10000 Mexicans, and out OF
them, nine-tenths have no Castihan
blood. They all talk the Castilian
language. because they were taught
by Spanish priests that civilized
Mexico years and years ago. but they
are full-blooded Mexican-Indians.
I hardly think Mexico will ever be
convinced that America and Spain
are her friends.
... CASTILIAN.

Famous ChautauQua
Speaker at Federation
Meeting, Here, Jan. rs

The date for the mid winter meet
ing of the Maine Federation of WO-
mems clubs is set for January 26tli
at Augusta. While it is n one day
meeting, more in the nature of a
conference than a regular business
session--fOr this is not a delegated
meeting-tho program promises much
of unusual interest.
The chief address of the day will
be given by DR.. George Edgar
Vincent of Chautauqua fame. He
was one of the speakers at the Bicn-
NAL of the General Federation held
last spring at Chautauqua and the
Maine club women who heard him
at that time are enthusiastic over
the prospect Of his Maine visit.
DR.. Vincent is an educator of Ma
tional fame. He was president Of
the University of Minnesota from
1911 to 1917 when he resigned to
assume the presidency of the Rookie
Teller Foundation of which he is still
the head. He is an author of sew
eral books and a brilliant speaker
His address will be given at the
afternoon session. The morning will
be devoted chiefly to business, brief
reports of the committee chairmen
and these are held to the three
minute time limit-and the reports of
the individual clubs.
There may be delightful social
feature added to the late afternoon
program but no formal announce
ment of it can be made yet.
Those who spend the night in
Augusta are planning a social get
together, for the evening.
The Federation is open to invita-
tons for the fall meetings it is un-
derstood.
1t is hoped that the new year book
will be ready for distribution at the
Augusta meeting.

Sheriff Cleans up
Kennebec Co. Jail
Will Change Methods

Since taking office. Sheriff Henry
Cummings and Turnkey Willis
Pinklianf have been extremely busy
at the county Jail, remedying con-
ditions which have been described
by those who have seen them as
"disgraceful." A.
Frank Fl. Hargraves of Buxton,
member of the board of prison COM
missioners. was present Saturday at
the Jail and after making an in
spection he announced that a great
improvement had been made in it's
appearance. Under the direction of
Turnkey Pinkham the prisoners have
been cleaning up various depart
ments of the Jail and this work will
be continued until the conditions
there have been greatly improved.
The mattresses and bedding in the
cells are still to be cleaned. They
were shown Saturday to Journal
reporter and seemed to be in a filthy
condition. This bedding will all have
to be boiled out, the mattresses will
need to be refllled with straw and
some new blankets will have to be
given out.
Down stairs a tier of cells which
is not noW used and which is kept
separate from the other cells, had
been used as a dumping place for
rubbish. Here the floor was covered
with a connection thought to contain
mOlasses, which was removed with
difficulty. Some of this stuff still
remained in the room at the time
it was visited Saturday and it had
a most unpleasant smell, beside be-
ing rather an unsanitary mess to
have about.
Since Sheriff Cummings has been
in charge the prisoners have been
released from their cells and have
been. allowed to pass the day about
the tiers or in the large room which
connects With the Jail office. They
much prefer this to being locked
practically the whole day. in the
cells with their limited sanitary con-
veniences. Their meals are served
in the large room next to the office.
and the dinner Saturday was very
appetizing although consisting of
plain fare. Each man received three
slices of bread and as much as he
wanted of nouriShing meat and
vegetable soup.
Sheriff Cummings and Turnkey
Pinkham have announced that as
long as the men act orderly and
raise no commotion they will be al
lowed as m,.~:l liberty as is possible
in the building but that if any man
begins to get unruly he will be locked
in his cell away from the others. Mr..
Pinkham has had experience in this
work and he feels that this kind of
treatment will do much more with
the ordinary prisoner than the siron
hand methods" which are often used.

Must Apply Doctrines
Of Jesus to Everyday
Life is Quimby's Plea

HAS Jesus doctrine of the king
plied?"
This was the startling question
flung out yesterday afternoon by DR..
Langdon Quimby in the third of q
series of lectures on religion which
he is giving at the Y. M. C. A. In
answering the question, the speaker
pointed out the necessity OF making
very great distinction between the
religion and the Christianity of Jesus
and the religion and Christianity Of
the churches through the centuries.
He said that no thoughtful student
of the New Testament would dare to
claim that religion as ,aught and liv-
ed by Jesus and especially as en-
bodied in his doctrine OF the king
dom. had even been genuinely applied.
The speaker pointed out that we
have arrived at time in the history
of civilization and are facing prob
lens of such character as can find
no possible solution other than in the
full and genuine application of jesus
doctrines to all the interests Of hui
man life and to all the relationships
of mankind.
In developing more fully the nee
essity of founding the new civiliza-
ton on the principles of Christianity.
he pointed out that Jesus proclaimed
two great ideals as the ultimate goal
toward which man ana history were
forever moving; the ideal OF perfect
individual life, and the ideal of a
perfect human society embodied in
Jesus doctrine of the kingdom OF
God and that Jesus made this; doc
trine of the kingdom the central truth
of all his teaching.

NEED Of new SCHOOL
RECOGNIZED BY BOARD
DECLARES 4 Member

Local school authorities and others
iamiliar with the situation at Cony
rilgh school have realized for a long
.ime That conditions are very bad at
.he school in regard to accommoda-
lions, declared member of the school
uoard saturday when asked concerning
the report OF the Kiwanis Club COM
inlttee made Thursday night. This re-
port stated that the high school was
TOTALLY inadequate for present day needs
IN lighting. ventilation and seating ac-
conmodationS, as we'll as in other de-
tails
This member stated that the board
nad realized the school building was
lnadcquate for some time but they did
not Know just how matters could be
oettcred. Every available inch of room
IN the building was being utilized be-
cause of the large attendance and it
mad been apparent that a new high
school building was becoming a ne
cessity that the citizens must face.
Ihere are rooms in that building in
which artificial light must be used
throughout the day. There are rooms
up under the roof with slanting CELL
ings where the ventilation is totally
Inadequate" declared this gentleman
THE present school board has gone
on record as favoring the junior high
school system-that is, the 6-3-3 sys-
TEN. The city ought to build a new
nigh school building, modern in every
way equipped for manual training, do
nestle science and the study of the
commercial couses. The old building
would be entirely adequate for the
purposes of Junior high school for
years to come. The Junior high school
students could use the high school
equipment for the special courses and
with central heating plant that would
cut down On overhead expense. Angus
to would have one of the best school
units in New England.
"Other cities in the State have rec
ognized the need of better educational
facilities. Gardiner has built new
high school. Waterville's high school
is only 10 years old and they are
building a junior high school on abe
site of the old high school which had
been used for the last few years as u
Junior high. Bangor Portland. Auburn,
even VaSsalboro to the north of us,
have taken action and are planning
additional building so that the youth
OF today can have all the advantages
4 proper education affords. 1t is only
question of time when Augusta cit
liens realize the limitations that are
hindcring their children and which the
high class of instructors in the schools
here cannot overcome"
/ Several Years ago plans were being
considered for building a new grammar
school in the Capitol Park district
After an investigation 1t was seen that
that type of school was not needed at
that time and an effort was made to
have new high school built on that
site. This move failed. as the trus-
tees of the Cony High school did not
want to have the site of the high
school changed from its present loca-
ton. Since that time no action mas
been taken in the matter
