The Schools of Arizona.

The SENTINEL is under obligations to MT. R. L. Long, Territorial Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, for a copy of his Biennal Report for the years ending June 30, 1899, and June 30, 1900. It is a splendid document, probably the best ever issued from the office, and contains vast amount of information, statistical and otherwise, which is in- telligently compiled, and reflects credit upon the superintendent, who must have spent good deal of time and labor in preparing it for publication.
 From the report we learn that "The earliest record of public funds being used for public school purposes is found in the proceedings of the first legislative assembly, which convened at Prescott in 1864, from which it ap- pears that appropriations were made from the territorial treasury for the benefit of the public schools in the towns of Prescott, La Paz and Mohave of $25O each, provided that said towns appropriate like sum; and the sum of $500 was appropriated to the school in Tucson conditioned that instruction be- given daily in the English language"
 The total expenditures for the main tenance of public schools for the year 1900, is given at s345, ,3l4.2S.
 Number of children enrolled, 1S99- 1900, 16.504, which was about 30 per cent of the school children as shown by the census.
 The report shows that the schools of Arizona are in thriving condition and that the attendance is rapidly increas- ing. The demand for additional school facilities has been met by the Organiza- tion of thirteen new school districts during 1S99-l9OO, and the erection of twenty-one new buildings, seventeen being built last year.

THE PHOENIX CARNIVAL.
Five Days of H;larity Ended Saturday A Great Crowd of Visitors Phoenix Did Herself
 Proud.

The Phoenix Carnival was hum mer. The Capital city never does things by halves, and the Indian and Cowboy and Little Egypt affair-to say nothing of the baby parade, ribbon parade, and the whole hilarious occa- sion, ending up with the revelry of the masquerS, and the grand finale, the bal masque, was 6 gorgeous success. The festas and csrnivals which are held annually at Los Angeles, Kansas City and other places are commonplace compared with the five days of fun at Phoenix last week. It was so different. The Republican says the criminally dis posed and vicious were too bu5ily en- gagged in healthful enjoyment to give way to their inclinations, and men were afraid to get drunk or commit bur- glary for fear they would miss some important feature of the carnival, so that all was peaceful and harmonious; but business was dull in the police court for once.
 There were thousands of visitors from all parts of the territory, and we under stand there was quite a large contin- gent from Colorado; but strange to say, barely one person could be detected who had come from Los Angeles, city to which about two-thirds of the popu- lation of Phoenix go annually to blow in their money during the hot season. Phoenix ought to get even on this mat ter in some way.
 Phoenix is getting to be quite town, and one of these days will be a city of commercial importance as we'll as the capital of prosperous state.

Seeds that Surely Grow.

The cost of seeds compared with the value of the crop is so small that a few cents saved by buying second rate seeds will amount to many dollars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farmers have found out by many costly failures what a risky thing it is to buy seeds without being pretty sure that they are reliable and true to name. The latest catalogue of the seed house of D. M. Ferry & Co.,, of Detroit, Mich., is re- hinder that thousands of farmers in the United States and Canada have pinned their faith to the reputation of this great firm. During business career approaching half a century in time Ferry's seeds have won an annual in- crease in popularity, which is perhaps the best evidence that they grow and give satisfaction. Ferry's Seed Annual for 1901 is useful guide in selecting seeds for the farm, the truck garden and the flower garden. It is sent free on application.

IN OLD PLANTATION STYLE.
A Southern SILK Mill That Was
Ruled by the Whip.

Galveston News
L. w. Thurston is darky OF old-time
Fayetteville, N. c. There are under his
charge over 300 men, women and ch l.
dren of his own race. The mill has al
ways been noted for the discipline of its
employees, and a Northern newspaper
correspondent recently look occasion to
investigate and learn the secret of Thurs
tons success. When asked how he han
died his mill hands SO WELL Thurston
said that the first thing necessary, in
such an institution is discipline; and then
when the questioner asked if this was
obtained by a system of fines, the an
sWer was: mo, sir! By whipping. 4"
me burly negro superintendent says
that he accepts no hands for the mill un-
less they are given absolutely into his
control for all the time between in the
morning and in the evening, and, as
such authority may be legally conferred
there, he is answerahie to no one but
himself for what he does. Light cor
poral punishment is of no avail, in his
opinion, so, when an enn3loye is negi.-
gent IN his work or diseoeys any of the
1ronclad rules, that employe is taken out
and given a whipping. no matter what
the Sex and NO matter what the age.
Mr.. Thurston said:
No one desires more than I do to see
the condition of my people improved; !;
but L have no false@idea as to the pres
ent condition OF a majority of them.

That must be kept in view when dealing
with them. My methods may be decried
by humaDitarians. but am proving their
success, and l believe that some OF those
boys ] am bringing up here will in turn
prove means of forwarding the Industrial
advancement of the coiorad race"
1t seems that the Thurston motto is
spare the rod and spoil the hand. II the
report is true, the hands have for him
great respect, and do not stop to mur-
nlur when he says so.
