OUR TWENTY-EIGTH YEAR

The ARIZONA SILVER BELT with this issue enters upon it's twenty-eighth vol ume, having been established in 1878 by the late Judge A. II. Hackney, and it's publication has been continuous since the first number was issued on May 2 of that year. Under the able editorial management of Judge Hackney the SILVER BELT early took rank among the influential newspapers of the south west.
 The present editor and proprietor has been connected with the SILVER BELT for nearly twenty-two years and has given the best that was in him to the advancement of Globe and the terri tory of Arizona.
 The paper appears in new dress of type today, and other improvements are contemplated which will make it more interesting to it's readers and bet ter present the news of this prosperous camp and the wonderful mineral re- sources of Globe district.

STANTON EXPLAINS DROP
 IN THE PRICE OF COPPER

It goes without saying the announce- ment of two cuts in the price of copper within the past few days one-eighth of a cent each-bringing the quoted ofiic- ial figure down to l5''cents has natural ly created considerable uneasiness in copper circles and among copper share holders. The producers, however, main tain with much emphasis that the feel ing is wholly unwarranted, and John Stanton, who always expresses clearly and accurately the consensus of the best opinion in copper circles, has this to say with reference to the decline, it's possible effect upon the market and the outlook for the future:
 "I fail to see why the small decline in the price of copper of, say g to cent from the maximum, should under the existing conditions call for any thingl more than passing notice. Within short time we have seen a decline in the stock market of from 5 to l5 points, and from various causes, among them the life insurance trouble, feeling of disquietude and apprehen- sion prevade business circles. 1t is not strange that under such conditions the copper market should be effected to some extent, but l consider that the decline in quotations is for reasons sen timental rather than statistical, and, as a matter of fact, the transactions that have been made at the lower prices so far as can trace them-have been of retail nature and made by needy sellers.
 "All talk of an impending decline of four cents per pound is absurd. Fluct- nations in the market price of the metal have frequently occurred and will occur again, but there is no statistical reason for any serious decline in the price of copper at this time. The consumption of the metal in this country is large and increasing, while the exports con tinue on a large scale, and l think will amount to fully 10000 gross tons for the month of April, the demand from European consumers being unusually heavy.
 "As a matter of course, if the prophets of panic and destruction of values are to have their way, we may see further decline in the price of copper, but it is a metal that has the world for market and every decrease in price here increases the foreign de- mand for 1t. :"

The newest benefaction of Andrew Carnegie IS splendid in size and in con ception. Bonds worth $11, ,00O,O are truly enough for foundation" and when the interest of those bonds is ap- piled to the providing of "annuities for college professors in the United States, Canada and Newfoundland, who, from old age or other physical disability, are no longer in a position to render the most efficient service, the whole world ought to applaud. College professors are poorly paid in ratio with their abil- ity, their toll and their usefulness. Strictly sectarian colleges are to be ex- cluded from the benefaction. This is in accordance with Mir. Carnegie's we'll known convictions it suggests, further more, that he intended to hint to relig- ious bodies controlling colleges that they should bear their burdens them selves.

SENATOR R. A. AlGER'S
 VIEWS ON STATEHOOD

The Albuquerque Citizen prints the following interview with Senator Rus sell A. Alger, of Michigan
 '1 am firm believer in separate state hood for New Mexico and Arizona My interests, as you know, are in Arizona especially, as it is there that l have much capital invested and it is but nat urallthat should try and protect my in terests in the statehood fight.
 After having studied the conditions of the two commonwealths thoroughly, l can see only separate statheood or no statehood at all. It would be far better for Arizona to remain territory for ten years to come than join hands with New Mexico.
 ''Now, don't misunderstood me, as I am not against New Mexico securing statehood. Let the territory come in if it wants to, but let it come in as the state of New Mexico and not as the joint state of New Mexico and Arizona.
 'It is quite probable that the state hood question will be settled at the com ing session of congress, but l don't be- lieve that the territories are to have joint statehood and nothing else thrust upon them. It is just as easy, l be- lieve, for them to get single statehood as any, and it will be far better to the interests of both, in my opinion.
 Tn the first place, the people and hab it's of the two territories are not suited for jointure. Arizona, you might say, depends wholly upon mining, as its main industry, while in New Mexico agricul- tural pursuits thrive in different sec tions, cattle and sheep are raised with profit, and,there is some mining carried on. That it would be an injustice and detriment to both is my candid opin- ion ''

It makes newspaper man tired when he has traded with people for a quarter of century and paid their prices without a quibble, to have them talk abotu how cheap they can get printing done in such and such a place. Had we figured on how cheap we could have gotten goods, instead of getting thousand of dollars from us they would never have received red cent. We propose to pay prices in Prescott which will enable men to live and meet their obligations and such prices we must charge. There is little difference between the hunter of cheap things, regardless of consequences, and the wrecker who waits on the shore for the waves to dash the ship to pieces so that he may rob the victims of the wreck and disaster Prescott Courier.

NOT ALL HARMONY

Those who believe that joint state hood is inevitable are finding serious opposition even in Oaklahoma where it was believed that the joint statehood bait had been swallowed hook and all. This is mistake. The annual conven- tion of the Oklahoma Press AssQciation which adjourned on Tuesday, passed a resolution which declares for single statehood for Oaklahoma, although in the same breath declaring willingness to submit to the wishes of congress in the matter New Mexico has little more of the spirit of independence and will not submit to palpable injustice. The statehood bill to be passed at the coming session of con gres must be right or the people of New Mexico will express by decisive vote preference for remaining ter ritory. Of course there are few non Partisan Statehood Leaguers who would accept any old thing in the line of statehood even if it meant annexa- tion to Hawaii or Guam, but, forum ately they are but handful and cut no figure in New Mexico political affairs.

The secretary of heinterior in Wash ington has taken decided stand in the matter of the alleged connection of John G. Brady, governor of Alaska, with a questionable promotion enter prise. It seems that the company in a prospectus used letter signed by the governor officially endorsing the stock as an investment. Upon complaint be- ing made to the authorities the secre- tary addressed letter to Gov, Brady,

notifying him that his resignation was demanded unless he ceased his connec- ton with the stock-dealing scheme and further demanded an explanation of his conduct. The matter is held up await ing reply from the governor. What ever may be the outcome of the cpl sode, says the Mining World, the policy and the rightof the government to inter fere to prevent high officials from using their names as bait to lure the unwary investors into deals often worthless is hereby established.

The threat made before the passage of the New York stock transfer tax bill, to organize new stock exchange, under New Jersey laws, is being car ried out, and corporation is to be known as the New Jersey Stock Ex- change, in which members of both the regular New York board and the Con solidated board are represented, has just been organized. It is asserted that business can be done by this exchange with equal facility as at the other boards, and with commissions fixed at one-half the present rates, it is expected that many traders will shift their ac- counts to members of the new board, particularly as by so doing they can evade the payment of the transfer tax.

Another Veteran Gone.

Thursday evening, May 4th, Lester
5. Beebe, of Coryville, Mexican Co.,
Pa, died at his home in that place Of
complication of diseases. Mr.. Beebe
was brother OF Levi and Bradford
Beebe, Of Pardus, also of our towns
people, Mrs. d. Fl. Breakey, Mrs, A. l..
Cathcart and Mrs. Eta Lucas, formerly
OF Reynoldsville, now of Chico, Cal.
Levi Beebe and daughter, Miss Ada,
attended the funeral. which was held
at Coryyille Sunday, May 7th, 1905.
Lester S. Beebe was born at Friend
ship, N, Y, June 9th, lS45, and re-
NAMED there until twelve years of age.
In the year 1857 he came to this state
with his parents, who settled at what
is now known as Sandy Valley, remain
ing there till after his marriage to Miss
Lydia Nichols, of Catfish, Armstrong
county, Pa, in the month of June, 1879,
and who, with two sons, young men,
are left to mourn his loss Mr. Beebe

Promotions and Grading in the Public
Schools.


Schools.
Since the close OF the schools some Of
the parents have come to me for ex-
PLANTATION with reference to the promo
tiop of their children. Some of the
teachers likewise report similar exper-
iehces. In order that all may under
stand as clearly as possible the princi-
pies of promotion and classification, |
deem it wise to make this public ex-
)planation. What | shall say will per-
tain only to the first eight grades of
the school, not including the two
grades in Room l3 and the three grades
of Room IA.
On account of crowded condition of
the lower grades for the past two years
it has been necessary to have two rooms
doing the same grade of work. Last
year rooms and 8 were doing first
grade work: rooms 4 and second grade:
rooms and third grade. Next year
~ "iii pC hOStooui w nave u"o iObio
doing fourth grade work. Now this me-
cessitates the opening of another room
parallel with room eight. The extra
room however, to be furnished will be
in the basement. The two basement
rooms will represent the first grade
work for next year. Rooms 3 and 4 will
be occupied with second grade work,
and 6 with thirG grade work, and 7
and with fourth grade work. In all
OF the eight grades each room will have
three classes, designated the A, B
and G classes. In the promotion of
pupils the strongest of each grade were
promoted to the A class of the next
grade, those not quite so strong to the
b class, and those who were weakest
and yet worthy of advancement to the
G class. On this basis of promotion
where two rooms were doing the same
work, some pupils were retained in the
same room, though they were promoted
to the next grade of work. Rooms 8,
3 and 7 next year will have work one
grade higher than that done the year
that has just closed. No pupils who
were worthy of promotion have been
held back, even though they will be in
the same room another year. The
raising of the grade Of the rooms mem
TONED above causes some of the pupils
to remain in the same room two years.
The object of making three classes in
the same room is for the purpose of bet
ter teaching by reason of smaller
classes. A further end is that the
bright pupils may not be held back in
their classes or grades when they can
do harder or more advanced work
They may be put into the next higher
class of their own grade or into the
lower class of the next grade above
them. In this way each pupil will be
enabled to advance as rapidly as pos
sible, unless checked because of crowded
conditions of the rooms.
Many of the best schools of the state
have this method in operation with the
most satisfactory results. This chauge
OF the method ofpromotion and CLASH
fcation was done with the approval of
the board of directors and teachers.
