NOTES FROM THE MESA.
February though the shortest
month In the year contains more
special days than any other
month. There are the birthdays
of Lincoln Washington Lowell
aod Longfellow.
We are elad to stat? that the
number of caaes of tardiness in
the building is growing less each
month and we hope through the
interest of the children and the
cooperation of the parents to re-
duce it to the minimum.
As February draws near with
its special days which afford op
portunities for special instruc-
tion in patriotism biography
and literature teachers through
out the building are planning
lessons and exercises suitable for
the occasion.
The children of grade IV are
giving especial attention to tte
cultivation of flowers for their
schoolroom. They have quite a
collection of pot-plants In bloom.
The motto selected by this grade
for February is "Do Right For
Right's Sake."
. Dr. E. E. White in his "School
Management" places regularity
in attendance and punctuality
as the two Brst on the list of his
"Seven School Virtues" and
certainly every successf ol busi-
ness man or woman can ap-
preciate the value of that train-
ing for the young which leads to
the forming of ' the habit of be-
ing on time. This training
should bagln the day the chili
enters school.
And yet there are some care-
less or thoughtless parents who
permit their children to remain
away from school on the most
trifling pretexts and who show
an utter indifference as to wheth-
er the children are ready for
school on time or not. These are
usually the people who wonder
why their children take so little
interest in school and who blame
the teacher for the child's fail-
ure. Early In term our pupils were
made happy though the klndnees
of a far-a-way friend who sent to
each member of the school a neat
little box containing three lead
pencils of excellent quality. The
gift was very acceptable and the
ohlldren decided to lay one pen-
cil aside to be used exclusively
for the drawing lesson.
In one room of our school a
new device to encourage punctu-
ality is se-in. A Beautiful silk
flag is kept floating so long as
every pupil belonging in the
room is oa time but a laggard
causes the flag to be taken down
for that day. It is hoped that
the parents for it is usually the
fault of the parent when the
child is tardy will help the lit-
tle ones keep the "red white and
blue" floating.
THE ALAMO.
FIRST GRADE.
Little seven-year-old Charlie
Kiefer made a remark the other
day which for its gallantry and
quick wit is worthy of mention. His
teacher requested all the pupils
to remain outside during the
recess as the day was unusually
fiae and added "Gat all the sun-
shine you can children and give
It out when you come in. Then
you will be my little sunbeams."
Charlie quickly responded: "And
you will be our sun."
The attendance in this grade
for January has been remarka-
bly good better than any previ-
ous month. This Is very en-
couraging for to attain the best
results a child must be present
every day and he must be on
time. The mothers are earnest-
ly requested to get the little
ones ready for school on time in
the mornings. Eight-thirty is
not an early hour and with a
little care tardiness can be
eliminated altogether. It is a
very bad habit and one for
which there is little if any ex-
cuse. There is scarcely any.
thing that has such a demoraliz-
ing effect as the habit of being
behind time. When children
once contract it they grow lax
and careless about other things
and generally lose interest in
heir work. It may seem a little
thing to be on time but it is one
of the essentials of success in any
walk in life.. "Trifles make
perfection but perfection is no
trifle."
THIRD GRADE.
This is an original composition
by Virginia McKie ten years of
age. It has not been corrected
but is just aa she wrote it:.
"I have seen many large oak
trees in Mississippi. The bark
of the oak tree is very rough.
In the winter it has no leaves
but is covered with long gray
moss. In the spring the tree is
covered with large greenleaves. In'
the summer it has many acorns.
I have seen the limbs bending
gracefully when the wind blows.
It makes nice shade in the sum-
mer." "The woodman's ax shall rot
out it down. It has been my
shelter insunshina and storm. I
protect it now from those who
would injure or destroy It."
FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES.
The attendance in the fourth
grade this month has been the
poorest during the year owing to
sickness. We hope the sick
may soon be able to return. We
do mot like to see those vacant
seats.
In our last report these grades
bad had no tardiness and the
pupils hoped for the promised re-
ward. However since some in
each grade have been so unfor-
tunate as to deprive the whole
rooms of the quarter holiday.

very gracefully complimented
the high school teachers by pre
senting a pin to each of them.
The teachers are pleased and
honored to wear them.
The past week has been rather
a quiet one. Several of the chil-
dren have been absent on aocount
of Eome of the numerous ills
which child hood is heir to. '
But the all important question
is still the library. Two new
books have been added during
the past week. A library benefit
will be given by the children of
this room this Saturday evening
at the D. R. Francis. This en.
tertainment is the work of the
children entirely and any one

element will do well to look in
upon them. You may be enter-
tained and you will certainly help
along a good cause
FRANKLIN SCHOOL.
Several of our patrons have
visited the school this week. We
are alway glad to see them and
hope they will come whenever
they oan find it convenient.
We have been doing every
thing possible to diminish this
month the number of tardy
pupils and although we feel en-
couraged we want to do even
better next month.
We all sympathize deeply with
Miss Maule ia her sad affliction
spoken of in the last issue. We
are glad to have her among us
again. While she was away we
missed her so much both as one
of our best teasbers and a friend.
So far our ranks have not been
thinned materially by thechil-
drens' diseases somewhat pre-
valent in town. We are indebted
to the effeciency of the city
health officers for this and we
sinoerely thank them. We are
sorry to learn that Cyril Christy
has scarlet fever; we hope she
will soon be well again. We
miss her very much.
Reading good literature is a
fine thing but some of our boys
are too fond of it. One day this
week one of our teachers asked a
boy what he was doing he re-
plied very permptly that he was
reading about the war; the
young lady asked him if he knew
his arithmetic lesson and he
answered very politely that he
did not that he thought he would
read the war news first then
learn bis arithmetic. He evi-
dently believed in the old maxim
reversed P3 easure bef oreduty. ' '
AFTERNOON KINDERGARTEN
A trip haa been planned in-
cluding the blacksmith's shop
the shoe-makers the planing
mill and the fire hall and the
ohlldren are very much excited
over the promised treat.
Io our January and February
plan of work we try to show the
dignity of true service and raise
to the same level all who truly
perform their appointed tasks.
We bring out the Interdepend-
ence of life and help the ohlldren
to realize their dependence upon
as well as their relation to the out
side world leading to a feeling
of gratitude for help rendered by
others and to a desire to be one
of those who can serve and will
readily do so.
First we have taken up the
work of those who build our
homes the mason carpenter
plasterer and painter. In their
turn will come the shoe-maker
the blacksmith car driver milk
man groaery man and store-
keeper. From those who serve
us in the community we lead to
those who serve us in state life
our statesmen our soldiers and
our great generals. This will
bring os to Washington's birth-
day which is always celebrated
in the Kindergarten.
In our carpenters' work the
children are given the first prin-
ciples of measuring and it is in-
teresting to note the different
ideas of length. The teacher
holding up a stick five inches
long said: "This is five inches
long show with your fingers how
long it is." Some bad one inch
lengths some bad ten while the
majority were almost right. In
using the building gifts the value
of true ' work is emphasized.
The work of agood mason is con-
trasted with the work of a poor
mason and no- crooked work is
accepted. The children are se-
vere critics but are always eager
to help each other.
"And you don't teach them
their letters?" is a question that
often greets a Kindergarten

Bled Quarts at a Time
I am a knife maker andjworked for a number of years in the New York Knife
Co.s factory at Walden N. Y. First thing I knew I commenced to bleed from
the mouth. Sometimes as much as a quart of blood would come up from my
lungs at a time. Every time I coughed the blood spurted out. It was in the
fall I got so bad anathechurcn
people told me I had better
make my peace with the Lord
and prepare to die. for I would
not five till spring. k My home
doctor couldn't do me any good
but advised me to get to New
York City for examination.
They finally took me to a med-
ical college and a whole lot of
physicians made what they
ealled a diagnosis. There were
several students looking on.
One professor had a little ivory
hammer and with this he
pounded my chest and held his
ear close to listen. After a
while the professor looked at
me solemnly and declared:
One of your lungs is about
gone and the other is affected.
There may be a slim chance
for life if you quit working in
that knife factorv." I went back
home but didn't improve. One day I saw an advertisement of free samples f
Acker's English Remedy for Consumption being given away by our home drug-
gists. Walker & Eaton. I got one of these bottles and it relieved me. Then I
bought more of the regular size and my improvement was continuous although
slow. My doctors were astonished and so was I. After dark I hated to spit
because fwas afraid it might be blood and I wanted to know for sure. I have
no fear now for at last I am a solid man again. Although one lung is gone the
other is as sound-es a dollar and answers as well as two lungs so far as I can
see. I want everyone to know the facts and that is why I tell them here."

MORNING
KINDERGARTEN
NOTES
The morning- kindergarten
commenced tbe new term after
Xmas with sixty-five children.
Up to present time tbe attend-
ance has been unusually good
but during the past week the
"measle soare" has been respon-
sible for a number of vacant
chairs.
We appeal to the mothers to
realize the importance of reitular
attendance on the part of the
child as one day's absence will
interfere with the logical se-
quence of the taought of the
week and necessarily affect tbe
work of the weeks following.
The children have enjoyed and
entered into tbe work of the past
ten days with much interest. If
we would lead the child to a con-
sciousness of the unity of life we
must plan that he shall live
through experiences which will
give him a deeper Insight into
the truths of the life around him
of whioh he is a part not only
of the aotive . visible life but of
toe unseen loroes of nature from
which he cannot be separated.
and without which he could not
exist eaoh realizing its highest
destiny in obedience to one law.
the source of which is Gad. The
life of the baker has been en-
tered into through song game
story- talk gifts and occupa
tions. The process of bread
making bas been traced from
tbe baker to tbe miller and the
river which turns the mill wheels
to the farmer and the many
sources of help In raising the
wheat to the sun and rain gifts
of the Heavenly Father in the
loving care of his children. All
this has been lived through bv
the cbildren in the kindergarten.
iney nave been the mill-wheels.
the river etc. They have also
been coopers and have made in
their 'games barrels that the
flour may be shipped from the
mill to the cities. Thus the child
has been had to feel the continui-
ty of life and to realize that
many hands must work to furn-
ish him with the necessities of
life. But the spiritual signifi-
cance lies in the fact that tbe
visible world does not exist aoart
from the invisible but as ao" ex-
pression of the unseen creative
forces that the highest life Is
not lived to itself alone but
reaches its perfection th rough a
constant reciprocal action with
the life around it.
Instead of visiting a bakery
as we had intended we decided
to be bakers In the Kindergarten
and make biscuits for tbe next
lunch. From a kind neighbor
we borrowed bread-board roll-
ing pin etc. and doning our cook
apron we proceeded under the
direction of the children to ex-
periment. We" followed the di-
rections of the children implicit-
ly. First we were Hold to
"strain" the flour. One epicure
said "do not put in too much salt;
that will spoil them." Finally
everything was io. The dough
was Kneaaea ana rolled out
each child cut a biscuit they
were put in pans and taken to
a neighbors to be baked. Some
doubt was expressed as to wheth-
er the biscuits would be good or
not as it bad been some
time since this part of
kindergarten had made
any. One little boy said "we'll
tell you whether they are good
or not when we eat them." The
biscuits were baked and brought
baok in time for lunch. During
the testing process numerous
expressions were heard as to the
quality. One little boy said:
"These biscuits are good all
right. I think Miss is a very
good baker" etc. The morn-
ing was enjoyed by all and the
work of the baker became reality.
FIRST RELIC FOR CITY MUSEUM
Offered By F. Flgueroa It Is An
Apache Shield 150 Years Old.
F. Figueroaa Mexican prospector who
went down lie river with an investor
rpcently has just' returned from his
trip bringing with him an Apache
shield that appears to be at least 150
years old. The shield was found about
eighty-seven miles down tbe river on
the Mexican side not far from tb9 riv-
er bed. It is about sixteen Inches in
diameter and made of four thicknesses
of buffalo rawhide sewed together with
leather strips. There are twelve cir-
cles of these leather strips. The outer
hide is sewed only through half of tbe
hide making the stitches Invisible.
There are two iron staples in tbe
shield for arm pieces. These are well
riveted into iron plates on the back of
the shield. They prove it to be of
comparatively recent date. The
shield is nevertheless an . interesting
relic. Senor Flgueroa accompanied
by Dr. A. Marchand brought the relic
into the Herald office this morning.
Senor Figueroa would like to donate it
as the firtt specimen for a city museum.
The idea is a good one. El Paso needs
a museum. It has been talked of sev-
eral times but nothing has ever been
done.
The shield ia at tbe Herald office
and is at the disposal of any responsi-
ble person who desires to start the
museum.
