bas no place in our school work. The question as to how often we ought to change books, counting all the difficulty and expense, is hard one. None but the progressive teacher can really understand the full need of an occasional change, and the public confidence in him is not always unlimited.
 If the public really had the op- portunity to compare books and prices, and weigh reasons for change, there would be very little difference of opinion as to it's necessity. Un- fortunately, these opportunities are usually granted only to those who have the duty and authority to make changes, and it is is unfortunate that these men do not have public conf dence to- larger degree. That there is abundant opportunity for jobbery. and that there have frequently been parties guilty of corruption, may be true; but it seems evident that these accusations should be made very carefully and only when there is con- elusive proof of crookedness. The claim that a change of books is very easily made, but it is not question of opinion at all, but one of facts and figures which can be easily Ob- tained; yet figures are never quoted to substantiate such charges. A comparison of the new and old aahaAalac rayasIa SAa Ea.4 khaA rra have renewed contracts for some of our old books of previous adoption at considerable reduction in prices.
 A new book Is always a treasure, and but few realize how much in- spiration its possession brings to the average child. This inspiration alone is often factor enough 10 determine the difference between a terms sue cess or failure. An old thumb worn arithmetic, perhaps one used by an elder member of the family, may have very repulsive look to a dull student; when 8 change to a new one, setting forth the same facts in 3 more attractive and comprehensive manner will inspire him to efforts which will make his rocky road to learning much smoother.
 am not prepared to say that the present change of text books meets my full approval in all respects; l know nothing of political influences or jobbery; but considering the mat ter from the standpoint of ap eduea- tor and a friend of the children, 1 believe the change will be beneficial and should be so considered by all patrons of our public schools.

Public Schools.

The Prescott schools will open on Monday, September 9th, and It is hoped that all parents will make an effort to have their children enrolled the first day, and that they will CO., operate with the teachers in secur- ing prompt and regular attendance during the entire school year.
 The teaching force has been in creased, and the schools are better prepared to broaden and extend the work of the High School than ever before, and l would encourage the students who were members of the 9th and 10th grades last year to return to school and continue their work in any or all of the high school subjects.
 On account of the extra force, many changes will be necessary in placing pupils, and in order to avoid all the confusion possible, submit the following outline as a guide to pupils when presenting themselves for registration Monday morning. In order that parents and pupils may readily understand. I will refer to departments by naming the teachers having them in charge last year.
 1. All pupils who were in Miss Whites room at the close of last semester, report at the High School department. Miss HAIL, Teacher.
 2. All pupils who were in Miss Kiernan's room, report at Miss Whites room.
 Miss OPDYKE, Teacher.
 8. All pupils who were in Mir. Cases room, report at Miss Kier- mans room. Miss GAGE, Teacher.
 4. All pupils who were in Miss Opdyke's room, report at Mir. Cases room. Mss CAMPBELL, Teacher.
 5. All pupils who were in Miss Windes' room, report at Miss Op- dykes room.
 Mss HEIzER, Teacher.
 6. All members of Glass 4 1st and B 2d, who were in Miss Elem ing's room, report at Miss Windes' room. Mss WISDEs, Teacher.
 2. All members of Glass B Ist, ali pupils of the Kindergarten who are six years of age, and all other children who are six years of age or over, who have never attended any school, report at Miss Fleming's room. Mas. OATs, Teacher.
 8. Children under six years of age will be admitted to the Kinder garten department.
 Mss MCGILL, Teacher.
 Mss RAIBLE, Assistant.
 9. All pupils who have attended schools elsewhere, and who are en- tering the Prescott Public Schools for the 6rst time, report at the Principals office.
 The above arrangements are sub ject to such changes as may be deemed advisable, and is not to be considered as an extra promotion, for the grades will remain as they were after the promotions at the close of last term. It is simply changing the department of some of the grades.
 Pupils are requested to hand their last promotion card to their teacher at the time of registration.
 l will be in my office at the High School building from g a. m. to 5 D. m., every day until school opens, for the purpose of meeting parents who desire any information relating to pupils or other school matters.

Walter Gregory, of the Rough Riders, writing to the Pheuix Her aid of his New York experiences, says: 'To be rough rider means to own New York and everything in it. Since arriving here it has been impossible for me to walk the street without having a small army of newsboys and street gamins follow ing in my wake. Young ladies even stop me on the street to ask for souvenirs or to shake hauds-none, however, to my regret offered to kiss me. Pemberton and I had to seek shelter several times from the mob on the first day of our arrival"

Chaplain Brown Forgot the Password

 Chaplain Brown Forgot the Password.
 The New York Tribune gives the following little episode in the expe- rience of Chaplain Brown, of the Rough Riders, at Tampa, after the troops had embarked for Santiago:
 ''To illustrate how a chaplain must abide by the rules and live up to discipline the same as all other sol diers, Chaplain Brown told an in teresting story. He and Captain Lle Sellyn obtained leave of absence to go on shore from the transport at Tampa one day, and returned to the transport late at night in an open boat. The water flowed so swiftly that the approach to the steamer was difficult task. Neither Captain Liewellyn nor the chaplain had given thought to obtaining the password before going ashore, and they were consequently at a loss when the guard challenged them. The challenge came a second and a third and last time, and then, fear ing that shot might follow, the captain shouted: Don't shoot, the chaplain's on boardl The chaplain don't shootr'
 "The guard was careful, and un- willing to permit a landing. He wanted further proof, and cried out: Chaplain what hymn did you give out today before the evening meali"
 "The chaplain shouted back, "Five thirty-four!"
 "Come on board" said the sentry, you've struck our own password"
 When the regiment is mustered out of the service Chaplain Brown will return to his church work in Arizona"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tionsl remedies. Deafness is caused by an inaamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets infamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inaamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

 Washington, Sept. 6. Ever since the printed reports of the sensa- tional utterance of Naval Chaplain Joseph P. Mcintyre reached the navy department, the officials have been making quiet inquiries into the currency of the newspaper publica- tions. The chaplain who was at tached to the Oregon, and was on board when the battle of July 3 was fought, was accredited with the severe criticism of Admiral Samp- son, Captain Evans and various otl CT officers of the American fleet, insisting that to the officers and men of the Oregon alone belonged the victory achieved over the Span ish squadron. He was particularly severe on Captain Evans, whom he charged with cowardice. The depart ment is now satisfied that he uttered the charges, and his trial has been ordered.

TIE NATIVE WoRkMEN.

II we are correctly informed the
complaint made last week, by the ma.
tive workmen TO the management OF
the Honolulu Iron Works, was confined
o the matter OF weekly or semi-month
by payments. The natives claim tame
put II into petitiOnD that they ough
be paid weekly. because the Chimes,
God merchants refuse to give then
more than one weeks credit.
This fact discloses the thriftles'
character OF the natives. There should
be no difficulty whatever in obtaining
a months credit, II the natives saved
their earnings. The money they carr
: paid to them with regularity. The
will trust them. II they
keep good their credit. But they dc
not save, and the storekeepers are the
osers. The experience OF the stOrekeep'
ers in the Southern States is, that the
negro will manage to pay If credited O
small amount. II the credit exceeds
hat amount, he makes no attempt &c
ay it, ana looks up another store.
The wages OF the native workmer
are fair. The least rate Is, We learn. 8,
per week This amount is more thar
the Portuguese earn, who labor abou
the city and on the roads. This
.amount may be low, under all the cir
oumstances. but much higher wage:
are paid to those natives who choose
o make themselves proficient.
The Iron Works will probably SCI
that 1t would be better to accommo
date their payments to the thriftles'
conduct of the workmen. Otherwise
he Chinese storekeepers will be com
PEELED to charge increased prices, b.
reason of the risks they run on givins
two weeks credit.
