"a burro is burro, and Mexican
is Mexican, and that's all there is
to it." This seems to be the attitude
taken by number of people towards
the Spanish-speaking population, re-
gardless of the fact that a Mexican
is a human being entitled to be edu-
Gated the same as a native American
in this country. | believe that the
present generation of Mexican chill
dren being educated in our schools is
capable of giving as high a service
and citizenship as the majority of
American children, notwithstanding
the fact that very many of them
were born in Mexico and came to the
United States two to four years ago.
Practically all of my school work
has been with Mexican children, but
shall confine my remarks to the work
being done at Brannen school. As
you know, we have room for only four
classes at Brannen. The beginners
room, conducted by Alma Acker, who,
would say, has the hardest job of
all. There are children in this room
ranging in age from seven to twelve
years, who know not one word of
English. 1t is Miss Acker'S work to
prepare them to enter the first grade
taught by Miss Vandevort. Here
their English vocabulary is increased
until they are able to master the first
grade work, and so pass into my room
for second and third grades. 1t is in
most cases, tedious process, posi-
lively no Spanish being used in the
clasSrooms.
! said these children are capable of
producing as good citizenship, if
adequate facilities are provided for
their education, as the majority of
American children. This is an un-
disputed fact, if you are at all fa-
miliar with the number of highly edu-
Gated Mexicans throughout the south
west. How many average American
children, being forced to leave school
and go to work after the third grade,
would make a very much higher mark
than the Mexican child, laboring also
under a language handicap? And
yet, people viii point to these as a
proof of how useless it is to try to
do anything with Mexican, ignoring
entirely the above mentioned condi-
tions.
We have children of from eight to
16 years of age in the third grade;
some of them are deficient, some are
retarded because of the language, and
some, the standardized tests have
shown, have an educational age a year
in advance of their chronological age,
and this despite the English handicap.
So, are they worth while educating
The Coconino sun., 1925-04-03

in poetry may also be well applied to
other forms of literature: What is
it to hate poetry? 1t is to have no lit
tie dreams or fancies; no holy memoir
les of golden days; to be unmoyed by
serene midsummer evenings, or dawn
over wild lands; singing or sunshine;
little tales told by the fire long time
since; glow worms and briar roses.
1t is to be cut off forever from the
fellowship of great men that have
gone, to see men and women without
their halos, and the world without it's
glory; to miss the meaning lurking
behind the common things, like elves
hiding in flowers; it is to beat ones
hands all day against the gates of
fairyland, and to find that they are
shut and the country empty and its
kings gone hence"
Let us give our Mexicans a chance
to find the beauties of life.

ploded today when DIR. H. 0. Sapping-
ton. stat health officer was informed
that the four deaths which occurred in
one week in the family of William B.
Driver were due to lobar pneumonia,
Dr. Willis w. Waite, pathologist, who
went TO Midland at the behest of the
state health Officer. performed an
autopsy on the bodies of the last two
victims, who died Friday six hours
apart, and telegraphed DR.. Sappington:
Cause of four deaths here was To-
bar pneumonia due to appearance of
the neumonoccus germ in Texas"
This germ, according to local ply
sicians, is that of the old fashioned
country pneumonia. The symptoms,
however. were so similar to those cf a
certain type Of bubonic plague that il
was deemed wise to call in an expert
pathologist.
The deaths investigated were those Of
W. B. Driver, the father; Reginald and
Caleb, two sons, and Mrs. James Klee-
bold, daughter. Reginald was the
first victim, having died week ago
Friday. The father died last Wednes-
