A Fault of the System.

N. Jean Jussieu, French cynic, writing in the Paris Revue, expresses grave doubts Of the efficacy of the American schools and universities. He ayers that the latter are governed b, mere endowment seekers, men Of shrawd address and of high social po- SitiOn who can confidently and success fully approach milliOnaires with re- quests for additions to the great funds accommodating under university control. These vast sums M. Jussieu ayers. are wasted in the construction of great buildings and the cause of education is not prOpOrtiOnately advanced. More
 money should be spent upon the pro dUction of monographs by learned men. ] is perhaps true tbat in their present stage of development the American universities are engaged somewhat more conspicuously than previously in their careers in constructing accCmmo- datiOns for the enlarged attendance. They are erecting dOrmitories, lecture halls, laboratories and the like at an unprecedented rate. But this is merely one of the signs of a vast growth. The youth of the country is pouring into these institutions more rapidly than ever before. Diversified and specialized education permits practical results heretofore impossible. while the gen eral college course is regarded with greater breadth of view as preparatory to sCme particular line of study. The enormous endowments are necessary unless the universities are to become congested and incapable of fulfilling their function. It is not true, however, that the average university president is a mere collector. He is as a rule a great administrator, aided by care fully selected corps of instructors
 IT fact, the American university is in a transition stage just now. It is ad- justirg itself to two great changes. the change toward the training of practical men in all lines of active work, ami
 the change toward more definite con centration in all things. The rapid growth of vast fortunes has made it possible for the university to expand. Men Of great wealth are in a position as never before tO eadow wisely the in stitutions which they regard as typical of their own individual ideals. This stage will probably pass, and the uni N-Isi,y. set on a more substantial foundation, will develop then more con sCIVltively, perhaps more to the liking Of such critics as M. Jussieu. Great universities arc not the result of a sin gla decade Of effort, often not even of q single century. Harvard university

Senator B ard.

Reports from Los Angeles indicate a steady improvement in the condition of United States Senator Bard. For many days he was at the point Of death. but his physicians now state that he is practically out of danger. This is well come news. Had death oveTtaken the senator the loss would have been felt as keenly by Arizona as by California. Not only has he a great many warm personal friends in the territory. but he is justly looked upon as it's steadfast and valuable friend. Our delegate hay ing no vote, the people of the territory naturally look to the representatives and senators from California for favors, and so often have these favors been extended that the delegation from that state is looked upon as almost repre- sentative of ourselves.
 Arizona is expecting much from the closing session of the Fifty-seventh congress, and on account of Senator Bard's position as a member of the senate committee on territories, reli- ance will be placed upon him to a large degree for a successful outcome of the statehood fight.
 Not only on account of the high esteem in which he is held personally, but for selfish reasons, the people of the territory earnestly hope for the senator's speedy and complete restora- tion to health.

MT. New Fl and Ir igation.

Upon his return a short time ago to Washington from his tour through the arid region, MT. Newell. the chief hy- drographer Of the geological survey, said that disappointment awaits those localities that expect the construction of reservoirs to be begun right away.
 A vast amount of preliminary work must be done before the construction of reservoirs can be entered upon. Tl.e interests of all the people must De considered. those above proposed reservoir as well as those b@low. In quiry must be made into the sources of water supply and the actual flow that can be depended upon without regard to the character of the seasons.
 This indicates that MT Newell is sail ing on the right tack. It would be folly to begin the construction of reservoirs before ascertaininS all the facts essen t.al to success. It is of prime impor- tance that the agents of the federal government ascertain just how much water can be depended on for the use of the land to be reclaimed. There is great lack of information on this point notwithstanding all that has been done along these lines.

tives turn to the southwest after it is
 plain that their days are clearly num- bered. To what extent the physicians of the east are culpable, is not exactly
 an open question. That many members of the profession treat their consump- tive patients with downright cruelty in sending them forth to die in a strange land among strangers, cannot be ques- toned for a moment. Taking Phoenix for q single illustration. it is no uncom- mon thing in winter to see, emerging from the incoming trains, unfortunates in the very last stages of the dread
 disease Not a few have died within
 24 hours after their arrival. The abso- lute heartlessness or imbecility-Or
 both-of the physicians responsible for sending such patients on long, ex- pensive, and certainly fatal journeys arouses each winter the indignation Of this community. And if these numer- ous and worst cases are to be taken as can be said for the southwestern cli- mate. Even the patients who still have substantial reason for hope often invite
 fatal termination by injudicious eX- posture to the changes of temperature, and by failure to avail themselves Of the real benefits of the climate. It has
 been thoroughly demonstrated that life and exercise in the open air and sun shine, careful attention to diet and faithful observance of the advice Of competent physicians will restore many consumptives to fair degree of health. and Arizona is probably as favorable in this respect as any section of the world. The dry air and warm sunshine of this region in winter have tonic elements of a pronounced character.
 As to the danger of infection through the gathering of large numbers of consumptives in a given locality, that is
 a question upon which doctors still divide. Fortunately, the number of in- valids of this class has never become
 excessive in this region, and from the standpoint of local welfare it is to be
 hoped that the benefits to be derived
 from this climate will not be unduly eXaggerated

The Milk Supply.

It was stated in our local columns yesterday that pr. Hughes. the city health officer. had on the day previous made a test of the milk sold by num- Der of the local dairymen, and had found the quality satisfactory. This is reassuring, but milk consumers would be better satisfied if the health officer would make such a thorough investigation as to leave no room for further doubt as to the kind of milk sold to the people of Phoenix.
 Not long since, several cases of sick ness were reported which were appar- ently traceable directly to the milk which had been consumed by the per sons affected. At least one milk dealer confessed that he had used salicylic acid in the milk which he had shipped. but claimed that he had discontinued it's use. He intimated that other deal CTS had been equally guilty. The city health officer cannot, of course, devote his whole time to the inspection of milk. but it would please the public to have his investigations continued until there is no further question-one test can hardly be accepted as conclusive.
 It is to be hoped for the good name of the daiIymen of the valley that they will be able to show their innocence of all tinkering with the milk supply. There is probably no other place in the world where there is so little excuse for the adulteration or "doctoring' If milk. Salt River valley alfalfa is the ideal milk producer, and it produces a quality which is perfection. Given the essentials of general cleanliness, and pure, cold water for the dairy cows, our milk dealers should sell q product fit for kings.
