There the children stopped going to abont the end of September or the be-
school as soon as they had learned to ginning of October
read, and the result was that they Were 1 When the explanation of the plans of
demoralised by quantities of improper ! procedure had been made, the f.=ll»w-

unanimously adopted:
THE SECRETS
Several Prominent Speaker* Ezpreae their
Ttowi-Pltin for Inangnratlng the
Work—lte*olatione Cnaulmou.ly adopt-
ed Pledging the Support of Those Pre-
latst night, as announced, there was
a meeting of the citizens of El Paso at
the court house to discuss the proposed
Methodist college. The attendance,
owing to the political meetings and en
tertainment at the theatre, was not as
large as expected, still all present ap-
peared full of enthusiasm and willing
to give the enterprise their endorsement
and support.
Dr. Charles T. Race was ohosen chair-
man of the meeting, and Ira Hugvett
secretary. Upon assuming the chair
Dr. Race briefly referred to his comiec
lion with the public schools of this citv
He gave a synopsis of what had ai
ready been accomplished in the way of
education, and what it was hoped wonld
still be done. The need of some m ohool
buildings was apparent to alb there
were 1,400 pnpils and at present only a
•eating capacity for 1,000. The citizens
of El Paso were friends of education
and voted for the school bonds without
scarcely a dissenting vote. The doctor
then spoke of the growing need of a
college in El Paso, a> d expressed the
nope that the citizens here would do all
m their power to aid in its establish-
ment.
The Rev. J. D Hammond, D. D , sec-
retary of the board of education of the
M. E. church, south, then addressed
the meeting. After a few words of
greeting, the doctor spoke at length on
the advantage of higher education. The
college curriculum was the result of
the labors of the wisest and best men of
many centuries. They bad devoted
their deepest thoughts and clearest
judgment to the subject and now the
peoulc of the present day reap the bene-
fits of the wisdom and learning of the
past. Education tends to f ruthfnlness
It familiarizes a man with what is just
and true, and makes him love and hon-
or integrity and moral worth. In a
crowd of strangers yon can always pick
out an educated person. Yon
can tell him from his manners,
motions, expressions and tone of voice.
Every church has become convinced of
the necessity of education. It is not
enough to convert a man. You must
also educate him and develope his
mind so that he will perceive the need
of working np to a high moral stand
ard. Although a great manv oi our
public men have never graduated from
a college, still all prominent leaders
are persons of education. If they have
not been taught by professors thev have
educated themselves.
^The report of the commission of par-
liament on the public schools in Liver-
literature and crimes increased
alarming extent
The speaker then paid a high com-
pliment to tht public schools of El
Paso and said bow pleased he was to
note the thorough and systematic mat-
ter in which the children are being
taught The doctor then spoke of the
wonderful lessons to be learned from
nature and the designs of the Almighty
in creating all things for the education
and advancement of man. He then in-
terwoved his statement of ,facts with
s me pretty sentiments of the thoughts
suggested by a bed of violets, and told
a pathetic story of a little beggar girl
who bad managed to savenp 25 pennies
towards a fund for enlarging a Buudsy
school, so that she and others like her
might attend.
Dr. Hammond then referred to the
great advantages which the city would
derive from the proposed college. It
