King Peter, of Servia not long, it
seems. will enjoy the fruits of the
diabolicsl crime by which he at
tanned to the throne. The bloody
conspiracy of the military. by which
the king and queen were murdered
in their beds and this weakling cor
onated is still fresh in the public
mind. Now, we hear of similar bed
room conspiracies against King pc
ter, with warnings that Europe will
see to his abdication and place the
succession in stronger hands. After
all, kings are but pawns and regi-
eide is just plain murder.

What will be the result IL boys are
allowed to destroy with impunity
school property and tempt by their
freedom from punishment other
youngsters to emulate their example?
These embryo citizens are being
trained in body and mind for the
work of the world, and one of the
first lessons inculcated must be re-
spect for the law and the property and
personal rights of others. II neither
the police court nor the juvenile
court has jurisdiction over young Of
tenders. Superintendent Lieb is none
too precipitate in asking that a tru-
ant officer be appointed. Then the
young offenders can be hunted down,
their own responsibility and that of
their parents established and the
punishment fixed to suit the ends
most conducive TO the welfare OF the
boys. For the sake of the boys let us
have truant officer.

The suggestion that the rivers and
harbors congress ask for a general
appropriation of a certain amount
annually for the Improvement of our
internal waterways is a good one.
Jealousy between different sections,
we believe, as much as any other fac
tor, has hindered progress in the de-
velopment of the navigable streams.
Both st. Louis and Chicago have set
their hearts on a deep ship canal from
the lakes to the gulf; the Tennessee
river people, of course, desire big APP
for that stream; Ohio
river towns see only the needs OF
their own stream, and there is more
or less rivalry between the upper and
lower river. and thus IL obtains all
over the country. 1t were better to
secure a big appropriation and let ii
be spent in a way to build up our wa
terways Systematically and thorough
ly. In that way harmony of all In
terests will be gained and concerted
fight for the streams carried on.

to fair visitors and no doubt mad as much to do in the remodeling of "eas- tern opinion regarding Arizona. as the beautiful onyx booth had for Colorado. The Tempe normal exhibit was studied by several foreign educators. notably Miss Wiedergrine. the head lecturer of the normal schools of Sweden. The note books on ''Languages'' from the Phoenix High School elicited this com pliment from Herr Otto Rousch Of the University of Berlin: "Wonderful! Do the parents speak the foreign lam guages that the students are assisted in doing this work in Latin and Ger man?"
 The Phoenix Indian School exhibit occupied one corner oe Arizona's space and could not be compared in excel Ience, because it had no competitors, but the needle work was judged among the manual training schools of the states. The hand carved, oak library desk was the second best piece of stu dent work exhibited by American schools, the first being a hand carved settee displayed in the Pennsylvania exhibit receiving a gold medal, while the desk received 9 silver medal.
 The public schools are supported by direct tax and there are two district funds available for th:s purpose, re- sulting from a specified levy upon tax able property and from certain fines and forfeitures. The school law pro- vides for the distribution of this money in such way that no school receives less than s400, and that school dis tricts with over twenty census children may receive an additional $1OO. A fur ther appropriation per capita is made to the schools with an average atten- dance of more than twenty-five.
 At the head of the school system O. the territory is the territorial superin- tendent of schools. who receives his appointment from tce governor. Tha highest school official in the county IS the county superintendent of schools, who is elected by the people. The ter ritOrial superintendent 5s chairman of an examining board which controls all examinations os teachers -nd issuance of certificates to each. The governor is by law the chairman of the Commit tee of Education, which passes upon the text books for uniform use in the territory; upon courses of study: and upon the claims of graduates of cer- tain institutions to become teachers in the territory without examination.

themselves and miles in length. Usu- ally the main laterals are run on sec tiOn lines with branches turning off to supply the various subdivisions of land. Headgates at the canal end of the laterals are used to turn water into the ditChes, while check boxes at the upper corner of the individual ranch are utilized to regulate the dis tribUtiOn of the water. Some canals are operated under a time system each water user or land owner receiv- ing a flow of water through his ditch for 9 length of time propCrtioned upon the whole amount in the lateral, and the acreage he has to be supplied Under other canals the water is meas ured in miners inches, the average being one-half an inch to each acre, and check boxes are built in accord ance with the amount they are to carry
 The final distribution of the water depends upon the character of the crop to be nourished and also in many cases upon the individual ideas of the irrigator. For forage crops and grain the fields are divided into Hands" of an acre or more in extent. separated by 'bOrders' thrown up by means of reverse furrOws. From the distribut- ing ditch the water is allowed to flood the land" until the flow reaches its lower end and is then turned into the next division. For root crops and trees. irrigation is usually practiced by means of furrows or a series of furrows running by the side of the rows of plants or between the tree rows. IrrigatOrs differ as to the care of orchards, some flooding the ground and seeding it for the retention of moisture and to prevent surface evap- oration; others run the water in deep. permanent ditches by the side of the tree rows; while still others distrib- ute the water through a series of fan like furrows and carefully cultivate the surface as soon as the ground is dry enough after each irrigation, with a resulting dust mulch to resist evap- Oration.
 The ideal irrigating system. expens- i've in first cost but economical in the end, would consist of cemented canals, laterals and ditches down to the final distribution so that the enormous loss by seepage could be overcome Sucn it is hoped will be the system lIti- mately established in the Salt River valley.

Arizona Schools

Show ne the schools of state and I can describe the character of its peO- ple' is a strong but very true state ment Certain it is that az estimate of a commonwealth that leaves out the attention given to popular education must be seriously deficient. Judged by this standard Arizona has 70 cause to blush. Her schools are her chief pride and compare very favorably in efficien- cy with those of the older states. The ruling class-the white population of the territory-is gathered from every quarter and represents the progressive spirit of our day. It is mainly an ed ucated class too. An oft mentioned fact is that the percentage of college train ed men and women in Arizona prob ably is much larger than can be found in the average eastern state. In the city of Phoenix is an organized liar ward club. Gov. Kibbey is responsi- be for the statement that it is his belief th-t there are not more than fifty illiterate native Americans in the whole territory.
 We would expect such people to pro- vide generously for the education of children. They have done so bott by erecting cOmmOdiOus, substantial mo- Oern SCnOOl buildings ana by OIIeTltlS uniformly nigh salaries which helps to attract the best teaching talent Natu rally, too, these transplanted Illinois ans, Iowans. New Torkers, etc, when in search of teachers have remembered some one with a good teaching record iH the home state and have been able to induce him or her to come west Search for health for some member of the family has also brought and held here not a few excellent teachers from elsewhere. Arizona schools therefore have mainly fallen into good hands. which accounts partly for the high standing they have attained in their short existence of only twenty years. The comparison between Arizona schools and those oe the oider states is constantly being made in the fol- lowing way: The genial winter climate of southern Arizona attracts a large transient population and it is a com mon thing for children to spend the winter months in Arizona schools. re- turning in time for Snal examinations in the home schools to ind they have

c. S. STEWARD.

The only republican upon the Mari copa county Board of Supervisors is C. s. Steward, now in the second year of his office the first political position ever held by him. His home is three miles south of Mesa, where he has 2O0-acre farm in which he takes com mendable pride. His particular hobby is fine cattle and through them he de- rives much profit. Thoroughly devoted to the interests of the people of the county. naturally he is deeply inter ested in the irrigation and water stor age movement. At the Fl PasO Irri- gation Congress he was one of the main workers, and was notably ener getic in diverting the attention of the delegates to the Salt River Valley, as a region where irrigation would surely reach the height of perfection. MT. Steward was born in Jefferson county in eastern Kansas, July 27, 1857. When but boy he moved to Indiana, coming to Arizona in 1882. Seven years ago he was married to Miss Belle Schornick. Fraternally, MT. Steward is affiliated with the Masons. His work as supervisor has been marked with the keenest attention to the du- ties of the place and has been most satisfactory to the people of the county.

lost nothing by the break in the years work.
 Certainly no history of the schools of the territory IS complete without honorable mention Cs tha foundation work done by Gov. Stafford in the sev- enties, when the population was scat tered and attention was about equally divided between the hardshiDs of from tier life and tho treacherous Apache During the seven years Gov Stafford served the territory. he gave much of his time to the Derilous undertaking of going on horseback from settlement to settlement, arOusing interest in the ed ucation of the children. and in estab- fishing schools at public expense. With the abatement of tho Indian troubles came a sense of security and a grow ing desire on the part of the people to give their children opportunity for a thorough education.
 The public school system was regu- larly established in eighteen eighty-five and has grown so rapidly that there are now five hundred and twenty-t three schools, which enroll twenty-nine thousand two hundred ninety school children. There is scarcely a hamlet, however isolated, that does not have well ordered school in operation six months Of thu year.
 For the home seeker looking toward a rev country, chief interest usually centers around the country school He will And :H Arizona suitable provision made, of comfortable school buildings, and in many cases exceptionally at tractive, commOdiOus, modern struct- ures, that call forth expressions of sur prise from the tourist more often than any other feature of the country per haps.
 The work os the country schools is we'll systematized and graded. and q diploma from the eighth grade of any of these schools admits to the higl school o@ normal school.
 The teaching force in the country schools is a credit to the system. Many of the teachers are graduates from the normal schools of the territOr-7. others from California normal school~. and not few hold diplomas from eastern colleges. Within a radius of ten miles of the city of Phoenix l am ale 10 count fourteen graduates of eastern colleges or state normal schools who are presiding over country schools.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA.

A year before the founding of a Nor nal school the first step was take, to- ward providing for higher education in Arizona by establishing the University of Arizona at Tucson. The purpose of the school was declared to be to pro- vide thorough instruction in literature, science and the arts ard as far as pos sible, a technical education adapted to the development of the peculiar re- sources of Arizona. Instruction in az riculture, mechanical crts and in min ing and metallurgy, therefore becomes a characteristic feature of the school. It IS doubtful if any other university in our country can offer such fine ad- vantages to students in mining and en- gineering, because of the great mining enterprises within easy reach which enable tho student to view actual op- erations while carrying on theoretical and experimental work ct the univer- sity.
 The college courses provided lead to the degrees CD Bachelor of Philos- ophy and CD Bachelor of Science.
 The University Campus consists of 55 acres of high ground, a mile from the business center of the city and commands a fine view of the surround ing mountains, interesting as well for their scenic beauty as for tke abun- dance of rich ore stored away in their depths. University Hall. a Museum, Library, Gymnasium. with dormitories and shops devoted to assaying, car pentry. forge practice, machine work, mining laboratory, etc, form the cen- ter Cor active student fife
 The faculty consists of a president with his twenty-five associate profes, sors, each bearing a degree earned at some one of the leading universities of the country.

NORMAL SCHOOLS.

As soon as the public school system was inaugurated. it was felt thot the territory must prepare to educate teachers. Accordingly, in 1886, a ter ritorial normal schoo, w2s founded at Tempe. From 2 small beginning the school has steadily increased in thor oughness and scope of work until now Its graduates are, upon their diplomas. granted certificates to teach in the state of California as well al Arizona. The present enrolment is 357 and the faculty numbers fifteen, including teachers in the training school. In the faculty are found graduates from the following universities: Jena Ger many), Iowa California, Missouri, Northwestern, Columbia. Chicago, Harvard, John Hopkins, Syracuse. Stanford and Toronto (Canada). Three regular courses of study are offered a two years course to high school graduates; a five years academic and professional course to graduates of grammar schools; and a four years Latin course to students who expect to enter some university.
 The school is well housed in com fortable and commodiOus buildings situated on a campus of twenty acres, devoted to lawns. groves and drive ways bordered with many species of palms, cypress. roses. oleanders, pep per trees, and shrubbery of all kinds.
 The equipment of the school has re- ceived careful attention. The library contains 4OO0 volumes of well selected reference books and the equipment of the physical, chemical and biological laboratories is good. Tha total number of graduates is 223, many of whom are teaching in the territory.
 An annual appropriation of S40.00O is made for the maintenance of the school.
 In 1899. another Normal school was organized at Flagstaff, in the northern part of the territory. Its purpose and policy are identical with that of the Tempe Normal. Thirty eight young people have been graduated from this school.
