During the Mexican war, tha^ unique Missouri lawyer, Col. A. W. Doniphan, captured the city with a force of less than r thousand men in 1848, and in the same war it fell again before the Americans under General Price. Chihuahua is more accustomed, how ever, to seeing its people engaged in internecine strife than in opposing a foreign foe. It was here, for example that the patriot priest, Hidalgo war executed in 1811, following the failure of the revolution which he led in an effort to throw off the Spanish yoke. The most imposing monument in the city is the memory of this beloved national hero, the incidents of whose death are as pathetic as the passing of any martyr since the days of Joan of Arc. The priest was condemned tc die at dawn. While being led to the place of execution he remembered that he had left some sweet meats under his pillow. He asked one of the soldiers to return for them, and when they were brought he distributed them with his blessing among the * ^ 1 - 1 I " mem per s 01 me nring squuu. ivuuwing that the misty light of dawn would make it difficult for the soldiers to aim accurately, the priest calmly placed his hand over his heart against the black robe, so that they could locate the vital spot. \\ hile the mining industry in the territory continguous to Chihuahua City is four times as important as the agricultural interests, nevertheless the raising of corn, fruits, and cotton ' < important and an interesting feature of the last named product is thai .;s manufacture into cloth dates back the days of Cmtez, who sent to hi jovcreigft, the King of S|>afn, some oi he finely woven material from th; end. v' vVh u !'7p I ?i,i . * > for cloth ing even befo'v Kv.mne k.v '.v i uses hegends of the To!to- s, record ?d i* i"idvn l?r? 1- ; f ?U1 jt r O'loi VI.

Commissioner of Education. i In most States school days tor * country children are fewer than for 1 city children. The average length of school term in cities of the United ; States is one hundred and eighty- ] five days; in rural communities one hundred and thirty-eight days, a difference of forty-seven days. In some States the difference is much greater ] than this average. In many counties ] the average length of the rural i school term is less than one hundred days, and in some districts it is , less. On the other hand, in the . States of California, New York and Connecticut, the country schools are in session one hundred and eighty : days in a year, and in several otjier States almost as long. The country schools ot Rhode Island are in ses- 1 sion one hundred and ninety days in a year. It all children are to have an equal opportunity for education we must even up the school terms of the country and give to all country chil- 1 (iron at least as many days as are now given to city children. One hundred and eighty-five days of schooling a year for all children will not oe too much. There are coutitrks in which the schools, both for city and country, are in session from two hundred and twenty to two hundred and fifty days or more in the year. American children need as < much education as those of any other country, and this applies to the rural as well as urban districts.
