 THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
 | Of the Territory has had most ardent and 1 jealous friend in Gov Safford. During his | long term as Governor, even amidst ali the difficulties inSeparable in q country SD large and so thinly settled, he worked faithfully to build up the public schools upon broad. liberal and permanent basis. Had this been the only fact accomplished during his ad- mnistratiou it would be an enduring testi- mnny to his credit. The cause of education has no tirmer friend nor more enthusiastic 1 advocate, and if his policy m regard to the schools be adhered to, as il doubtless will, Arizona will be able to crc,htahly educate her children. Manuiacturers of every de- scriptiun incident to the isolated position of the Territory, were objects of the Cover nOr's special solicitude, and in this respec few years will ind wonderous change here. While We may be dependent upon your city for much, We will not be dependent for everything.
