 MIR. COLE HEARD FROM-A letter has been received by a Phoenix friend from J. c. Cole. who was for many years connected with the Phoenix schools. a part of time as superinten- dent He is located in New York, and has been there for some time. being en- gagged somewhat in the real estate bus mess. That he is fairly prosperous may be concluded from the fact that he has been offered and has refused a salary twice as large as he received here, to again take up educational work.
