More Cuban Teachers Coming

Our market for Cuban teachers seems
to have become a permanent one. The
liner MORO Castle brought last week
thirty ladies who are going to take
a years curse at the state normal
school at New Paltz, Ulster county, N.
Y. The young women were chaperoned
during the ocean trip by Mrs. Varzaga.
All the expenses of the teachers are be-
ing paid by the Cuban government,
and besides, they are getting while
here $50 a month each. After taking
a course at New Paltz they will be paid
$40 a month each.
Let them come. 1t is the best IN
vestment the new republic of Cuba can
make. They might have selected New
England, but we shall doubtless get
our share la~ter.-Boston Globe.

international Penal Colony for An

A cablegram TO The New York Her
aid from Brussels states that forthcom-
ing diplomatic discussions will deal
principally with the question OF found
ing an international deportation colony
for anarchists criminals. This matter
should not be permitted to end in diplo-
rratc palaver. The more il shall be
ctnsidered the more favorably will this
method OF disposing OF the anarchists

The anarchists themselves should
prefer this method Of disposing Of them
to all others. They are under the ban
of the civilized world, and they will be
watched more closely than ever, SO that
it will be impossible for any of them
to make a turn or utter a speech incit-
Ing to crime without encountering the
stern vengeance of the law. In a penal
colony, on the other hand. they could

THE ERA ENDORSED.
A Teacher Who Thinks the School Funds Not Properly
 Divided.
Editors Of the COFFEE ERA.

DEAR SIRS:-I read with pleasure | which you protest against the re6uc- 1 tion of the appropriation for the main tenance of the public schools and call l attention to the facts that the schools l is this end of the county, which arc | growing are continually in reed of as ! sistance in order to continue for term ! Of reasonable length.
 There is another phase of the school i question that l wish you or the Bulletin would investigate, and that is the manner oi the apportionment of the school fund as now practiced. Sec. l2s, clause ., of the school Laws of Arizona, specifics that an appropria- tion must be made to each district showing an average attendance of more than twenty-five children, Of not less than S20 per capita upon the average attendance in excess of twenty-five, This in excess of S500 allowed by the proceeding clause. Clause of the same section, (page 46), provides that after the superintendents estimate is received the supervisor shall add there to per cent. which , per cent. shall constitute a reserve fund for the use of those districts showing, for period of five months. an increase of average at ! tendance over the proceeding year. Concisely stated there seems to be an effort on the part of the law makers to get the money where the children are. | Now, in Graham county this fund is not assessed, the plea being that to assess it would make tho levy exceed the limit provided by law. or course, l it seems to teacher that some other fund than the school fund should be cut when it cones to bringing the levy within the limit; but now as to the ap- portionment of the fund actually col l lected. IL seems to me that if the spir- it of the law were followed per cent. of the fund should be set aside for the use Of those districts needing extra teachers This would be simple justice to all, and would bring the money
 It might Oe contended that some dis tricts would thus get less than S2O per capita on average. My reply would be 1 that clauses l and of this section of the law are no more mandatory in | their language than clause 3. If it is impossible to comply with both, an even and just medium should be struck. and not have the growing schools the only ones 10 suffer.
 According to the present plan if school should grow fast enough to need ar extra teacher every year for ten years, it would be continually behind and all its children losing fair chance with the others. If it should then de- cline for like period, there would be plenty of money after the children who needed it had gone.
 Hoping the question thus briefly 1 stated may have a fair and impartial l hearing. am yours respectfully,

ARIZONA is most fortunate indeed in
 having seaport within her bcrders
 and having q river open to transporta-
 tion for several hundred miles. Ari-
 zonians have paid present railroad tar
 ifs until it is almost impossible for
 them to realize what water transporta- tton means, but men who have not long
 resided in tine territory regard present freight rates as almost bar to com mercial industries. X seaport in Ari- zona Is like transplanting Galveston or San Diego to Yuma. No great man. uiacturinG enterprises can ever be built without competition in freight rates. Arizona will soon be grided with railroads. Several of the great continental lines of railroads will soon extend their steel bands across her territory in several different directions and these, with the number of local roads now building will bring her rich mineral fields and fertile valleys in close touch with the world of commerce and trade.
