LESS than two years ago the free
 school system was started in Arizona,
 without school houses, books, or
 teachers it seemed forlom hope for the poor Apache ridden people to provide for the education of the chil- dren under such adverse circumstances, but the same undaunted spirit that had faced death and torture through long series of years, said we must either have schools or more jails, and we preferred the former, and the result shows what people can do if they will. Yuma has good school house and neatly furnished, and one will soon be erected at Ehrenberg. We are as- sured that Mohave county will erect school houses as fast as required. The people of Prescott are now construct ing a school house that will be a credit to the town and Territory. A school house was built six miles below Phenix in Maricopa county last year and now the people of Phe- nix are making arrangements and al- ready have the necessary subscription to build one worthy of that enterpris- ing and growing town. A school house is in process of construction at Florence, in every way suitable for the purpose. The people of Tucson are determined to not be outdone by their young neighbors and are now making arrangements to build g. house with sufficient capacity to ac- commodate two hundred pupils, and we trust that the San Pedro and Sanford settlements will not be behind in the good work; but the most encouraging feature of all Is that our late I,eois- lature made provision for sufficient school revenue to keep free schools in operation in every school district in the Territory for from six to nine months during each year.
