The weekly Arizona miner., 1881-04-08

Mir. M H. Sherman, who came here about seven years ago under an engagement as principal of our public school, filled that onerous and useful position with great credit to himself, up to few days ago, when he very gracefully resigned and almost tearfully bade goodbye to his scholars who are in- debted to him for information that will be of great service to them in the battle of life; and among whom regret was exhibited at parting with their beloved teacher, whose office, that of Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruction, calls for MT. Sher- mans services in all portions of Arizona The MINER has no hesitancy in awarding great credit to Mir. Sherman as conscien- tious teacher, and wishes him great success and good luck in his new position. Miss Merrill, a very competent teacher, has been engaged as principal of our school which is, we believe, the best in the Territory.
 Those of oI citizels who have time to scan the affairs of Europe have no hesitancy in saying that war will certainly come of differ ences on the Greek Question. One ancient soothsayer predicts that France, Russia and perhaps England, will lay on McDuf, to Germany and her allies; while others feel 1t in their bones that Germany will do most of the laying on. In consequence of this warlike feeling Europeans with military quail ifcations are coming to this happy country very fast Wish we had several thousand of them in Arizona.
