MYSTERIOUS |S DEPARTURE OF
 MRS. KICK
Woman Whose Married Life Was Apparently a Happy One, Leaves Husband and Home Without Warning.

Mrs. D. G. Neck, wife of the well known proprietor of the Auditorium barber shop on Main street. has sud denly left her home. presumably for her childhood haunts in Pennsylva- mia. D. G. Keck, her husband. Is at a loss to understand why his wife so suddenly departed without a word of explanation to him Mrs. Keck left the city Tuesday. yet the first news of her departure was given out by her husband yesterday after he had ex- hausted every means to learn where she had gone and why she had left him.
 Apparently in the best of moods. happy beyond anything that her hus- band or friends could see, Mrs. Neck has seen fit to leave their home in Bisbee, probably to join her parents in Alleghany, Pennsylvania. This latter theory seems to be well borne cut in the statement of railroad men, who say that woman answering her description Tuesday bought a ticket for that place.
 The only plausible solution for the wCman's reason for deserting her . in her possible momentary alteration brought on by homesickness. At any rate a once happy home has been nlado desolate fer a dutiful husband, and the strange actions of a woman remain unaccountable to any reason. able extent.
 The Keckc came here some time ago. Mir. Neck has since pursued his avocation of barber. and has been known as a steady, good providing husband Together the young people seemed to be working to lay up store i for rainy day. The young wifi helped by renting some of their room; at their homo in Upper Tombston' ! Canyon. Everything seemed 10 bt [ roseate for them. and they were en toying prosperity. when suddenly th' young wifes strange action in taktns 1 sudden leave broke up the home. MT. Neck Is a veteran of the lat war in the Philippines. and showed himself to be Q public spirited a/t
 patriotic citizen by his untiring ei
 forts h the preparations for the Mo
 morial Day celebration held in Bisoe'
 last spring. He was prominent 1,
 committee work. and to his effort va
 due in d measure the success of th

 It seems further that Mrs. Keck, il
 taking her departure. took money
 which had bee\ saved for the pay

 will have to be met by MT. Keck. IT

TEST FEE CASE WILL COME UP
 TOMORROW
Constable Jack Whites Suit Against County To Be Heard at Tucson in Court of Judge John Campbell.

Before Judge John Campbell, sitting in the District Court for Pima county JCmorrow. at Tucson. the test fee case of Jack White. the Bisbee consta. ble snd shsriffelect, against the Board fees which he claims were earned by him will come up for trial. Whites case is but a parallel for several as vet untried wherein the constables of Bisbee Lowell and Douglas are seeking to compel this county to pay certain fees which were disallCwed by the Board of Supervis- ors on the advice of District Attorney Tom Flanigan.
 The fees in question cover a period of two quarters, beginning with the first of the present year. They amount to several hundred dollars in the casS of some individual officers. and the outcome of the case will have a good 'oal to do with the future actions oi l other constables in either agreeing OF Q settlement at the boards allowance or in instituting suit against the coun tty through the board
 Besides White, NJ. Doyle, also e Bisbee. feels that he has grounds foi l suit. Tho amount of his as dlsaliow cd Is identical with that of White, ant amounts to several hundred dollars Doyle will go to Tucson today. wher'

REASONS FOR SUCCESS.

what are the reasons for failure Of the SELF
government idea IN so many schOols2'' several
teachers were asked. Unanimously they replied
'Lukewarnness on the part OF the teachers
When asked why 1t seemed 20 be successful IN
School 125 while unsuccessful In other schools
one teacher said: 'TIere it was change from
an autOcracv 90 a democracy. The children had
learned 20 obey In other schools IL was a
change from anarchy TO a democracy. The
children were not prepared for It"
The idea Of establishing school city was N
the mind OF Mr.. CrOnson, the principal, several
years before he introduced It. For four years
he insisted on strict but kindly enforcement OF
discipline by the teachers. When the stage had
been reached where rooms could be LETT by theiF
teachers for days at a time in charge Of mOni-
tors. Mr.. Cronson decided the children had
reached a point where they were fitted 1Or self
government. The children Of the four upper
grades were called together and Informed that
they had done so well, had shown in so many
instances that they were fitted to care Tor them
selves. that ft had been decided to give them
an opportunity 70 form their own rules and en-
force them. A charter was Oflclally granted
them In recognition OF their ability 20 assume
the responsibilities OF salf-gOvernment and to
appreciate It's benefits as the charter specifically
declares.
ITO what do you attribute the success OF the
self government idea here ana the failure IN
other schools?' Mr.. Cronson was asked
'aThe child must be prepared to appreciate the
benefits OF self government. just as an adult
must, IL self government IS TO be success.
Cheerful obedience ought 20 be secured before II
is introduced, or you might as well not introduce
the system. Start in with obedience. When the
habit OF obedience has been secured tnen shOOlo

the 54th street school several years ago. 1t was
continued for two years anS was very success
full I was removed 20 another school. There
worked for four years and could not introduce u
because found two or three teachers were not
in sympathy with the idea. All that Is needed
20 XIII It Is to smile little and to treat the
subject lightly. In some schools IL could never
be introduced until the principal had been
changed. II introduced under poor conditions
Il would be likely 20 injure the school rather
than help IT, There are different systems Of
If-government, but I prefer the school city
because Il teaches civics at the same time the
children are learning self government. II has q

every school Is orderly. but the school city with
personal responsibility gives the school dig
nifty OF thinking"
Tshe subject was discussed last Friday night
at meeting OF the schoolmen or the city.

resent real power AS the lines marched up the
stairs to the different rooms a representative OF
the city stood on each landing observing the de-
pertinent OF the children.
Then The Tribune representative remained
through a session Of the children's court. It's
sessions, as are those OF all the governmental
bodies OF the city, are held after school. The
activities of the city, it has been found do not
interrupt the school work in the least. Only
two of the serious faced girl judges were on the
bench that day. The clerk OF the court a small
Jewess of twelve or thirteen. with keen mind
and finely chiselled features, who sat on a high
chair, when the judges had taken their
places and opened the court with the familiar
formula, called the first case and read the COM
plant. 1t was for disorder. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty, but the evidence was against
him, and he took his medicine, which was day
in the late room, without word.
