 Arizona is to benefit in the educa- tional- work projected by the late Ce- cil John Rhodes, with the carrying out of which he charged his executors in his last will and testament The beQuest to this territory is two schol arships in the great University of OK ford, the English school of which Mir Rhodes was a graduate. Official an nouncement that the scholarships are available to young men of this terri tory was made public by Governor Brodie last week
 A communication has been received from Hon. John Hay, secretary of state, inclosing communication from the trustees under MT. Rhodes will and it was in this document that the first notice of the bequest to this ter ritory is brought to the attention If the executive department. The let ter seeks to enlist the services of the governor in aiding in an effort 10 make regulations regarding the meth cd by which qualifications of candi- dates for the scholarships are to be ascertained. This point once settled. a tender of the scholarships will be made, accompanied by an explanation of how they may be taken advantage of
 The Gazette says the governor has mailed a letter to the heads of the different institutions of the territory asking for suggestions, and their sug- gestions. and their answers will in all probability be forwarded to the state department at Washington and later to the trustees of the will in London. Some plan of how the candidates are to be chosen will then be adopted at once, for it is the nope of the trustees that students can be elected in time to go into Oxford in 1903.
 A clause in the Rhodes will sets aside $500 yearly for male students for a scholarship in any college in the University of Oxford for three academical years. Of these scholar ships two are given to each Of the present states and territories of the United States. The provision was made by MT. Rhodes to use the words of the will. desiring to encourage and foster an appreciation of the adyant ages which l implicitly believe will result from the union of the English speaking peoples throughout the world and to encourage in students from the United States of North America who will benefit from the Oxford scholarships an attachment to the country from which they have sprung. but without withdrawing them or their sympathies from the land of their adoption
 It was further stated in the will that the students elected to the scholar ships shall not be merely bookworms and in their election four points are to be taken into consideration The first of these, his literary and schol- astic attainments, second. his suc- cess in manly outdoor sports, such as cricket, football and the like. A third point his qualities of manhood, truth, courage devotion to duty, sym pathy for the protection of the weak kindliness. unselfishness and fellow ship Fourth. his exhibition during school days of moral force of charac- ter and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates.
 On these four points, and taking for a maximum 200. the first and third points are to count 60 each and the second and fourth 40 points each. The first qualification will be determined by examination. the second and third by ballot of students. and the fourth by the head master of the candidate s school. No students will be qualified or disqualified on account of race or religion.
 Only one scholarship can he filled ir any one year. so that bo two can go from the territory at once. Great in terest in the opportunity offered has already been shown in the different territorial schools. and without doubt, when the plan of choosing the stu aents is made public. applications ga lore will be filed. The chance is one too seldom offered and of too great a
