cent of them college and normal school graduates. The high standard of teaching ability maintained is illustrat- ed by the well known fact that the re- quirements of the territorial examining board always have been so high that applicants holding certificates from elsewhere frequently fail to receive certificates here. The school law of the territory recognizes the diploma of any state normal school end the diploma for the pedagogical course of any col lege in good standing as being suffic- tent guarantee of fitness to teach and grants the holder a certificate without examination.
 The Arizona Territorial Teachers association is a wide-awake, intelligent body. which has no difficulty in main taining it's existence in spite of long distances and high rates of travel.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

No story of educational institutions in Phoenix wiu!d be complete without mention Of her private schools Be sides parOchial school. which is largely attended by Mexican children. there is one private school. academic in character. and one business college.
 Lamson's business Cone-e was es- tablished in 1889. and until that time young people requiring a business ed ucation must leave the territory. The school has passed through various changes until now t is devoted entire ly to instruction in the business branches: that is. reading, writing. spelling, bookkeeping. commercial law. commercial geography. civil govern ment letter writing, business practice. office work, short hand and typewrit- ing. Individual instruction is the char acteriStic feature Of the school, AL though the business college has a reg ular course of study to which all stu dents must conform who wish to se- cure diploma, a great many stu dents, having some special object in view, wish to select their own course and devote all their time to it. Such students find Lamson's a good place Young people grown rusty in short hand practice and wishing to fit quick ly for position can be accommodated there because of the opportunity for individual instruction. The teacher of short hand is familiar with all the inn portant methods used in the country. which saves much time for the stu dent The course offered in this school is equal to that of the best California business colleges

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
 NfHRICOPA COUNTY.
JOHN p. oRME.

Chairman of the Board of Supervis- ors of Maricop1 county. and one of the leaders in the irrigation work that soon will transform the Salt river valley. is John P. Orme. For years identified with the national irrigation movement MT. Orme has served as delegate 10 successive irrigation congresses anl has worked for Federal control of Wa ter storage when the prospect appeared almost hopeless. He was one of the very first members of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association and now a member of the board of gov ernors of that organization. His wOrk has been most effective and has been marked by keen common sense that has done much toward smoothing out the many rough places that have been found in the pathway toward success. Now that success is in sight and the great dam at Tonto Creek is practic- ally under construction, and govern mental control of the valleys canals is now accomplished, much goes to the credit of such men as MT. Orme, who has labored toward this great end. Tn his work as a county official MT Orme has brought the same energy and de- votedness O. purpose.
 MT. Orme IS one of the most exten- sive farmers in the Salt River valley, owning and cultivating nearly one thousand acres of the best land. He was one of the three men who put through the Maricopa canal, eighteen miles in length, now one of the most important canals of the valley, and for years he acted as superintendent or as director in it's management.
 It was in March of 1877 that Mir Orme came to Phoenix, where health and general good fortune seem to have attended him.
 He was married !n 1879 to Ella Thompkins, a daughter of Revolution ary sires. She died at the home near Phoenix in 1898 Four children had sprung from the union, and upon them their father has devoted particular care in the way Of education.

HIGH SCHOOLS.

There are two well established city high schools in the territory situated at Prescott and Mesa. ard several more on the way to organization. There IS also Q union high school situated in Phoenix. The law provides for the union of school districts in the organ ization of high schools. Thirteen school districts, including the city of Phoe- nix, united in 1896 in organizing the Phoenix Union High School The high school superintendent has direct super vision over the eighth grade work in the entire high school district and pu- pills are admitted to the high school upon their record made in eighth grade The present enrolment is two hundred and the faculty numbers nine members, graduates from the following institutions: Illinois State Normal School, Simpson College, Ypsilanti Normal School. Ohio Wesleyan uniVer- sity, Baker University. Olivett College. Iowa University. Hillsdale College. The school provides the usual high school courses: CD Latin course, CD English course (3) Science course, C4) Busi- ness course.
 The school is in healthy, growing condition and each year steps are taken toward better equipment. The passing grade has been raised to I5 per cent, in harmony with the col leges upon whose accredited list the school stands.
 It is upon the list of accredited high schools at the following universities: Berkeley, Leland Stanford, Jr., South ern University of California, Illinois, Arizona and Ohio Wesleyan, at all of which it's graduates have made hon. orabIe records. Four Phoenix high school young men have passed the rigid examination for cadetshiD at Annapolis and West Point. none hav- ing failed to pass who have attempted the examination.
 Forty-one per cent Of those who who have graduated from the school have entered upon an advanced course of study. Tho last graduating class numbered twenty-five.
 The valuation of Phoenix High School property is $443OO. Beside the city schoo. os Phoenix there are ia the high school district twelve tributary country schools employing from one to four teachers each The Osborn school, with a property valuation of S5,000 and four teachers. heads the list in importance. and would be a credit to any village in attractiveness of premises and high grade class work.

 per month. Furnished houses
 from $35 per month up to any price. A WORD re HEALTH SEEK
 FRS.
 The Salt River valley is a
 very healthy section, and is re-
 garded far and wide as a health resort, and especially so for
 those suffering with lung trou-
 ble. Many persons have been greatly benefited by short stays during the winter months, while
 others by remaining longer have been restored to health. From
 my own observation, during a residence in Phoenix of twenty two years, it takes time to re- ceive lasting benefits even from the pure dry air of this valley. Therefore I would not advise those who are delicate and weak to come here, expecting to be benefited. unless they have suttl- cient means for comfortable liv- ing for at least six months. This would require from $500 70 $600.
 There is always profitable em- ployment for the industrious, , able bodied man, but for the sick and weak situations are . very difficult to find, as no one , desires to employ a sick person. .
 Phoenix. the capital of Ari- zona. and a thoroughly modern, up-to-date city of 15,000 people, is situated in the midst of the Salt River valley. The tourist. the investor and the health l. seeker can find in Phoenix all , of the advantages and comforts of any eastern city of a much . greater population. Eleven re- , ligious denominations are repre- scented. and all have commodiOus 1. buildings cs are required for the , places of worship. Seven large public schols. Three daily news 1. papers keep pace with the news , of the day. Five reputable banks transact the business of the . town, and a number of good hO- , tels, restaurants and lodging houses administer to the com- . forts of all visitors
