pleted for the summer work.
The meeting lost Monday after
noon was not only largely attended

materially increased. The meeting
was altogothcr harmonious and
unity of effort seemed lo be upper
most ia the minds of all members
WANTS SQUARE DEAL
IN NEW TEXT BOOKS
Governor McDonald's Aim is
to do What is Best for
People, but Opposes Need
less Change in Texts
CONTRACTS TO BE LET MAY
AGGREGATE NEARLY $50,000
That ho stands for a sqttaro deal
for every book company now bid
ding on contracts to supply text
books for tho public schools nf Netv
Mexico for the next six years, but
that he personally is opposed to
changing books now in use for
others unlets thero is an apparent
necessity, was pointed nut by
Governor William C. McDonald as
president of tho atato board of odu
cation in a brief address of welcome
lo tho two scoro or moro bookmen
and bookwomen ansembled in San
ta Fa this week
Extra seats had to be placed In
the senate chamber at tho capítol
to accommotlato tho throng of rep
resontatives nf publishing concerns
who aro seeking tho contracts that
will bo let by I ho state board, ag
gregating some $SU,000 in books of
a dozen or more subjocla. In wel
coming these visitors here the gov
crno, in a pleasing address, spark'
ling with humor, commented
among other things on the presence
of tho several saleswomen, says the
New Mexican.
Tito govornor said that every
tiling dono by tho stato board is to
bo without prejudice and also with
out favoritism. Ho reminded tho
salesmen (lint tho superintendent
of public Instruction Is elected by
tho peoplo and the people will hnvo
to look after him but that tho
governor appoints tho other mem
hers of tho board and thn governor
will look after litem. He then
pointed out that the presnce of bo
many representatives of tho groat
school book publishing companies
of the country will tend to furnish
much information on text book
matters, and tho members of tho
late board are eager to learn all
they can.
In emphasizing tho Importance,
in his opinion, nf making as few
changes as possible in text bonks,
the governor pointed out the possi
bility of entailing extra expenso to
parents of pupils if tho books are
changed. Ho added that his aim
is lo do what is bee! for the penplo
nf the state.
The board then got down to
work to hear tho many claims of
the many book companies' repre
sentatives. A cleverly arranged
schedule placed nil of tho eninp
attics in alphabetical order with nil
of the mbjccls up fur discussion
also in alphabetical order, begin
ning alth tho Ainorlcan Hook Cum
pany and tho subjeot of urllhmelb.
It is predicted that, eight days will
bo roqulred to hoar all of the argu
incuts
It was soon discovered that rend
ers and arithmetics aro tho most
numerous for consideration, such
as the type, the subject matter, the
illustrations, and the expense It
is said that there are two great
methods in vogue in putting out
readers, Ouo is to "crib" every
thing from other works and tho
other is tn employ clever writers to
ootnposo original articles. In the
matter ol Illustrations, work Uone
in Kurorm at a lower cost than at
home in America may figure in tho
consideration.
As rogards arithmetics, there are
two kinds: Thoso that follow tho
system of repetition and thoso that
deal entirely by subjects
It developed that oven a subjeot
like penmanship has ten represen
tatives present, one for each system
Uy tho time all of tho salesmen
have spoken it ii thought that
every member of tho bnard of edu
cation will have n pretty (air idea
or too problems that confront tito
average American small boy and
girl In tho gratlcs
CARRIZOZO DIDN'T WAIT
Tho people of Carrizozo didn't
wait for Arbor Day to plant trot-
Tho governor has issued his pro
clamatlon designating Friday, April
2, as tho day on which all tho peo
ple of tho state shall plant a fow
trees, thus beautifying their parti
cular lot, tit) whole tn mid to the
appoarance of each locality. Hut
Arbor Day was not considered here
at least it win anticipated, if
thought of at all. In ordering tho
trees tor thn court yaltl squsre, Dr.
Watson had sent to him on consten
moot a good many mure than he
needed nnd now he finds ho will
have In order more trees, as his
supply is entire! exhausted. Tho
peoplo were anxious to get he
trees anil shrubs ami plant thorn
Immediately, nnd as a consequence
tho doctor has disposed of .'100
shade trees of thn North Carolina
poplar va-ioty, JC cherry trees and
about 100 rose bushes The sixty
ur more shade trees he will plant in
tito nourt yard ho will have to order.
SIPPEL FLIES THE COOP
Charles Sippel, who has been
cunflnotl In lito county jail since the
tora part ot last January, eluded
the officers last Wednesday and lias
mndo his get away. II n was tried
befotu Justice Hannlirer nt Oscuro
for breaking into the dwelling homo
ni it- y Miotiiiarti ami stealing n suit
of tintlerwenr. After hearing thn
evld once t lie justice found him lo
no guilty or liurtilury and bound
him over lo the grand jury
CLEAN UP THE TOWN
Tho bunch of travelers npprehcu
tied by officer Ilytlo last week
were given fivo davs on the sircáis

uy justice Aiassie ami I Hoy itavu
ben doing good work under the
direction of Sheriff ('haves and his
overseers. A great deul nf trash
and filth has hern c.nlloclod ntitl
hauled off the streets and vacant lots
and the appearance of the town Iiih
been much improved.
SUBSCRIBERS NOTICE
Since taking charge nf tho Out
look we have mailed nut several
hundred dollars wort Ii of statements
to those who were indebted $150
oi more, nnd thoso whoso subscrip
tion had expired wo mailed statu
menta to them for the advance sub
scripliun now due Some have
remitted, but the majority have
reniuinod as silent us the oven
spirits, Wo kindly ask every one
Indebted lo in to sond in their ro
tnittanco at unco. It seems a little
unfair lor us to have to pay interest
to keep our business going when wo
have due us in amounts from $1 f0
up, enough to pay all we owe. In
fact we cannot understand why a
subscription to a newspaper should
be the last obligation considered,
when most of thoSH Inilnhlml urn
able to pay promptly. A payment
now will be appreciated.

called, had been quite feeble for
several months, and hail no doubt

last. '
