,

'IMie

writer's lirst induction into

UiO'inanner

cif

conducting

schools

in New Mexico

occurred

in

the

fall

of

1883.

Having

been

called

to thu town of

Uncoln

on

court

business at that lime

he was

urged

to

rumaln and pedagogue

so long

as

thu

clfort

proved

satisfactory.

There had

been

a

school

organ-ized

a

year

or two before,

in

the

town, and

a room

secured

in

a

vacant adobe building

roofed

with

iiiiid and

the

lloor laid

from

the

Original undressed

soil

and

a

few

wnoduu

benches provided,

with-out hacks

io lean

against

or

desks

in

I

_rout

_to

lounge

_upon,

while the

benches

were

so

high

that

the

younger

pupils'

feet

could

not

touch bottom, compelling them

to

Kit

there during

the lung days

with their little

brown

tootsies

poised iu mid

air or swinging

like

thu pendulum

of

your

grand-father's

clock.

It seems the

man

they

had

liirmcrly

employed

had divided

hit;

time about equally

between

poking primary ideas into

the

heads

of

those under his tutelage

and the

more

illusive game

of

poker, always

in

swing across the

way, and the patrons

of

the

school

thought

tt

better to have

some

one

who

would

devote his

full

tiniu during

school

hours

teach-ini-r

their children

how to

"walk

Spanish"

while they

were imbib'

iug

English and

all

the rudiments

thuy

would hold.

At

that

tune the

law

authorized

the

local

boards

of

directors

in

the

different

districts

to

examine

tuachcrs

and

issue

certilkates

whenever

ail

applicant

presented

himself.

At the

present

time

that

would lie

buttered war

mush

and gumbo

to

the average teacher

who

has

to go,

not only over the

lop

but through the

wireentangle-muni-s.

Then

many members

of

the

local

boards

could

neither

read

nor write and methods

of

teach-ing

was

a

sealed

book

to them.

In this particular

instance

the

applicant

was

given

a

certificate

in

blank and

told

to

till

it

out

himself, which

was done witli

modesty

and the

satis-faction

of

those

most concerned.

Parenthetically

be

Coal Now

H. S.

Campbell,

member of

tin

Uncoln County

Administra-tion, furnished

the Nttws with

the following circular, relating

to

the purchase

of

coal,

and

request-in-g

space lor its

reproduction,

which

is

given

below:

The

week of

June

3rd

to

8th

has

been

designated

as

"Coal

Week" by

the United Slates Fuel

Administration. While forsovural

weeks

special

elTorts

have

bceiii

made

throughout

the

United

States

to

urge the early ordering

ol

coal, there

will

be

a

rfpuclal

intensive drive

on

early ordering

during "Coal

Week".

It

is

felt

that,

with the bulk

ol

the year's supply

of coal

ordered

in

the various

dis-tribution agencies

of

the govern

ment

be in

a

position

to ad

just equitably

and

properly the

demands

as

between

different

communities.

It

be possible

for

the Fuel Administration

to

guitge accurately

ine

increased

demand and

apportion

the available supply.

Together wilh the urgent

ap

peal to

the industries

as

as

to

the domestic consumers

to

order

their

cal

early,

there goes the

request

that

those

who

get

orders

iu

wait patiently

for

de- -i:

eries.

It

is

being pointed

that,

of course,

the entire

output

of

the country cannot

be

delivered within

a

few

month..

Hut it is

equally true that those

orders

that

are lirst

iu

the hands

of

the dealers

will be

the lirst

de

livered.

Production

is

steadily

increas-ing, but

it

must

be

further

if

thecountry's

coal

for

the year are

lo be

tilled.

Already

iu

communities

one-thi- r I

of '.he

orders have

placed

by

both

industrial

and

domestic

consumers.

In

the

eastern part

of

the country

the

dealers

have

been

practically

overwhelmed with early

orders

for

anthracite,

but west

of

tiie

Mississippi the orders have

been

so

in

on as to lend

no

stimulus

to

increas.d

produc-tion

and,

as

a

matter

of

fact,

there has

been

some

shutting

down of mines for lack of

order

for

the product.

In every

state

of

the

Union pre

parations have

been made to

bring

the United States

Adminis-tration's early

coal

ordering

mes-sage squarely

before

the

people.

Thousands
