The Public Schools.

The citizens of Arizona have good
reason for feeling proud of the liberal
and effective manner in which this Ter
ritory has dealt with the important
question of public education. 1t has only
been thirty years since the first public
school in Arizona was taught IN Tucson
by Mr.. AgIstu5 Brichta. Since then a
public school system has been devised
and put into practical operation which
compares most creditably with any
state in the Union. Under this system
wherever fifteen census children can be
found near enough together to attend
school, one may be provided for them
at public expense. Arizona spends
more money per capita for the educa-
ton of her school children than any of
the states, with perhaps one exception,
the amount being about S13 per child.
The schools are supported directly from
general fund, raised by taxation,
which is apportioned to the several dis
tricUs from time to time, on the basis of
average attendance in the schools. The
probate judge of the county is ex-etficio
county school superintendent and looks
after the financial interests of the dis
tricts, paying teachers salaries and
other expenses, on vouchers drawn by
the trustees of the districts.

ers is S55.
Pima is the largest school district in
the county, where four teachers are
employed. Next comes Solomonville
and Thatcher, each employing three

crease AS a rule competent teachers
are employed, though there are ex-
ceptions to this, as to all other rules.
A county teachers institute is held an
nuallY, usually in the fall of the year,

to Dawson. That proposed trip is, in my
opinion, an absurd proposition, as the
distance Of some 1900 miles IS too great for
the deer. Now, if these deer which have
been o-dered to 81. Michael could be
transferred 10 The Point Barrow expedi-
ton it would simplify matters wonder
fully. However if the Bear can get as
far up "a S.. Michael there is not
much doubt that she can go up to
Cape Prince of Wales. as the strait
IS generally open until Christmas. At
this point there are $50 deer xned by the
ma tives and the American Missionary
Association. These could no doubt be
secured and the expedition could start
from there. There Is plenty of moss
along the coast 10 feed the deer and the
natives could get their meals at the nu-
merous little villages. The trip should be
made along the coast, the travelling being
done on the ice which is frozen for about
a mile out. A considerable distance can
be saved by crossing the Kotzsoue Sound,
starring over the ice from Cape Espen-
berg. With this cut off the distance TO

without much difficulty the entire trip

THIRTY PERSONS MET DEATH.
Terrible Disaster to Wedding Party
at Railroad Crossing in
fuSshan Poland

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. IA ter
ribe accident ha, occurred near Bielostok,
Russian Poland, resulting in the death OF
thirty persons.
A wedding party was returning from
the church to the house OF the bride. All
were in one wagon, huge vehicle, drawn
by eight horses. The road along which
they drove crossed the railway track on
the level and the driver, either through
carelessness or ignorance of the train
sched uled, pushed his swiftly moving
horse upon the crossing just as the ex-
press was coming up. The locom olive
struck the vehicle squarely, killing many
members of the party outright and maim-
n Others so that they soon expired in
frlgh,iul agony. Not a member of the
party escaped.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 1l.l
The Naval Personnel Board, of which
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is pres
ident has closed its deliberations,
ana has taken recess until Mon
day week IN order to allow the
rious subcommittee appointed 10 con-
slider different branches of the general
question time in which to prepare their
reports 10 the board. As has been already
sta co 1t has been decided by the board to
mmend the malgamation OF the pres
ent engineer corps with the line OF the
navy, giving the mem bers actual rank
and corres sponding power.
Ohe OF the subcommittee is charged
with the duty of preparing a bill making
provision tor the enforcement of sucn a
scheme, Tor the action OF the board with a
view 10 Its submission TO Congress with
the Endorsement of the United States
Navy Department. 1T is hoped in this
way TO settle TO a great extent, at least,
the oDe-copt1nued strife between the line
ana stan OF the navy in the vital matter
OF rank resi- onsi bility. The engineer
corps Is the only staff department consid-
cred Ill this connection, and it IS said
there is coDsiderab Bile dissatisfaction in the
medical ami pay corps at being left out.
One OF the propositions submitted TO the
board contemplates the transfer of the
marine corps 10 he line of the navy. This
proposition is vigorously opposed by the
office S OF the marine CORPS who much
prefer their resent status as an independ-
ent organization.

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. II.-"The
motives and energy of The CALL in be-
half of d relief expedition to go to the aid
OF imprisoned Whalers are deserving OF
the highest commendation, said Cap
tain Francis Tutt!e, commanding the
revenue cutter Bear, to-day. He added
Il certainly shall contribute my best
efforts to the success of the expedition. -
The authorities at Washington have
o- as vet communicated very definitely
Captain futile with reference to the
tanner and method of supplying food to
the 300 unfortunate men who are now
among the ice foes of Northern Alaska.
He will formulate his plans as soon as he
is informed of the ideas of his superiors.
Speaking on the subject to a CALL
correspondent tonight Captain TuttIe
said: To-day received orders to hasten
repairs on the Bear with all possible
speed so as to start north with the cutter
as soon as she can be made ready.
was also instructed to secure the services
of competent and experienced physician
to accompany US. Dr. Call, who has
been on the last two voyages with the
Bear, had arranged to go to California
for the winter, and as a consequence !
must secure another man. Just who it
will be ! cannot now say positively, but
likely Dr.. Camden. a brother of our sec
ond officer, will be selected. He is a
resident of the East but is now in Sc
attic and expresses willingness to make
the trip.
IAN inquiry was made of me from
Washington to-day as to whether |
could procure at Seattle such provisions
as would be necessary to carry on an ex-
\ edition of this nature. replied that they
NnIId be secured here in any quantity and
at short notice.
"AIl the officers and crew of the Bear.
with but one exception, have expressed
hearty willingness TO make the trip
north. They are anxious to do all in
their power in aid of the unfortunate
whaIers. Of course, some of them nat
uralIy feel a disappointment that thew
are so soon to go again into the Arctic
regions, after having just returned from a
six months cruise. But they are greatly
interested in the project and feel pride
that the Bear has been selected in the
emergency.
Il hope to be able to sail north the
latter part of next week, although there
may be some slight delay. The run to
Dutch Harbor will be made in about
eleven days. There two days will be
consumed in taking on coal, after which
we will push through Bering Sea and
endeavor to get through the sraits.
1t is, of course, impos sible at this time to
say how far north the Bear can get so
late in the season. She is a stanch yes
sci, and certainly will put forth every
effort to get her as close to Point Barrow
as possible"
