Record Breaking Attendance in City Schools --Supl Allen
Announces Important Declaration
Of Principles

After the usual work of the gem
eral teachers meeting Superintend-
ent Allen spoke of the national edu-
cation association which met in Cleve-
land this year. He said that the gen
eral trend of thought seemed to be.
Make Our Education More Prac-
teal Mr.. Allen believes in this
and thoroughly endorses manual
training and domestic science. At
the same time he said that we should
not forget the culture side of the
symmetrical, well developed life. BY
developing well balanced, prac-
tical culture education, we shall re-
move to some extent the criticism
of Germany. France and England,
that the Americans have lost sight of
the esthetic in their mad rush for the
almighty dollar.
We believe that many parents and
friends of our schools would be in
terested in some of the principles ad-
vocated at the National Education
Association, and therefore we sub
join resume of the association S
declaration.
The National Education Association.
holding its forty-sixth annual con-
vention in Cleveland and represent
ing teachers and friends of education
in every state in this union, makes
the following declaration of principles
and aims:
l. Fully realizing that trained and
skilled labor is primary essential
| to the industrial and commercial
welfare of the country. we cordially
endor the establishment by muni-
cipal boards of education, of trade
| schools. industrial schools, and even
| ing continuation schools.
?. We recommend the subordina-
| tion of highly diversified and over
| burdened courses of study in the
grades to a thorough drill in essen
tial subjects; and the sacrifice of
quantity to an improvement in quail
| ity of instruction. The complaints
of business men that pupils from the
schools are inaccurate in results and
careless of details is a criticism that
should be removed.
g. We assert that the individuality
of the pupil should be carefully con-
sidered. to the end that he may be in
! structed in the light of his limita-
tions, and that we commend to all
local authorities the necessity of
greater care in arrangement of
courses of study, that they may be
| adapted to the pupils to be instructed,
| rather than the pupils should be
adapted to fixed courses of study and
| an inflexible system of grading.
4. The public high schools should
not be chiefly fitting schools for
higher institutions. but should be
| adapted to the general needs. both
intellectual and industrial, of their
students and communities. and we
suggest that the higher institutions
may wisely adapt their courses to this
| condition. We also suggest to school
boards and principals the Importance
of securing for their high schools

scholarship, but also successful eX-

Frank Owenby was in yesterday from the Upper Oak Creek Country getting supplies for a general mountain roundup that will cover the country from the Wood' ; ranch north to Newman's tank. The roundup will start on the 23rd. Mr. 0wenby says that the calf crop in his locality is the largest in a number of years and will average over 65 per cent. The past winter has been warm and feed is abun- dant.
 Ygnacio Bazan had a force of men working most of Thursday af- ternoon and night loading 4,400 head of sheep at the local stock yards.

The sheep were driven into Mesa Thurs day morning direct from the ranges Ernest Crismon will ac- company the shipment east. Re publican.
 A committee of the leading wool growers of the state, in an effort to defeat the alleged rapacity of the middlemen, will meet at the Commercial club and pool their clip for 1908. They have arranged to borrow upon all the wool stored in Boston storehouses at 60 per cent of it's market value. The sheepmen hope to sell direct to the manufacturers and thereby save a greater per cent of the profit which, it is claimed, has hereto fore gone to the brokers and buy CTS. The wool deposit from Utah this year will total about 10000, GOO hounds.
 Farmers report an epidemic among the cattle of the state of Veracrul, Mexico, which is caus- ing them to die on some haciendas in considerable numbers. The ma. ture of the malady has not been de- termined, but the state government has sent a veterinary to the hacien- das which are suffering to deter mine, if possible, what the dis ease is and to prescribe for it.
 The sheep business does not seem to have gone overheard entirely for just recently a Trinidad specu lator bought 23,OO0 head of last springs lambs from Don Luis Terrazas of Chihuahua, Mexico. These short yearlings are now on their way to Joliet, Illinois, to be summer run and corn finished for Chicago markets.

NEWS OF THE RANGE
IhInss Of Interest to StOckmen tn General Market for tiIe
 Past Week

IS. 1908. The appearance of a good many grassy cattle on the market last week, in the liberal to- tai of 4l ,0OO head, brought de- cline of 20 to 30 cents on all but the best fed kinds. which also lost a small amount. Today the run is l2.0O0 head, and the spread be- tween best fed stuff and that show ing grass is more pronounced, as 1t will continue to be from now on through the summer season. Large numbers of grass Texas cattle hay been marketed in Ft. Worth, and Northern packers are buying them freely for slaughter at their plants at the different markets in the North, which thereby affects prices on medium and common grades of fed cattle. Chicago fed stuff IS higher today, and will likely re- tain at high figure all summer as it becomes more scarce Another consignment of the Lockhart steers sold here today at S7.l0, highest point they have reached this year at any market. lot at S7.00 in St. Louis last Tuesday, having held the previous record for these steers.
 They opened the season here two months ago at S5.25. Other Colo rado fed steers sold today at S5.5O to $5.70, range on cows $500 to $5.50, heifers $3.75 to $6.40, bulls $3.25 to S5. 40. calves $3.75 to $500. Stockers and feeders are 40 to Q cents lower than two weeks ago, but are selling a shade better to- day, stockers S3.25 to $52.5, feeders $4.25 to $5.50.
 Heavy receipts of sheep and lambs last week, with bad reports from outside points, brought loss of 20 to 30 cents. The run is 15,0OO today. market 10 to 20 lower agaln. Texas is furnishing bulk of the supply. muttons worth S4 p to $500, and Texas goats S3.25 to $37.5. Larger supplies of Texas muttons have appeared in the last two weeks than anyone had counted on, with a slump of 25 to 50 cents as result. Quality is not as good as formerly, another bad feature. Colorado fed stuff is about all in, few wooded lambs today at $ 6.75 to $6.90. with s7.00 about the limit for wooded stuff today. clipped lambs S5.75 to $6.35. yearlings S5.25 to $5.75. wethers and ewes $4.5O to $5.25.
 Indications favor liberal receipts this week, with small prospect of any recovery in prices. Only some common Arizona feeding sheep and some low grade Arizona goats were included in receipts last W aek.

TO DEVELOP ALASKA COAL.

Alaska has no resource whose devel- opment will be worth more to the ter ritory and the whole country than it's coal. Large sums have been expended by capital in these coal fields and the partial construction of two railroads has been inspired more by the pros pective coal industry in two great dis tricts-Katalla and Matanuska-than through any other cause, yet the pres ent national administration has seen fit to handicap the development of these coal fields without any valid reason and without any excuse but ignorance.
 Upon two subjects all Alaskans are united-the creation of a Fourth ju- dicial division and the elimination of executive and legislative barriers to development of Alaska's coal depos- its-yet it is impossible to obtain eli ther. Congressman Humphrey of Se- attle asserted n short time ago that Alaska gets little recognition at Wash ington because it's men are always pickering and never agree on any thing. This is true in many cases but there is no disagreement in Alas ka over judidial division or coal land opening. It is charged that Pacific Coast Company, Northern Pacific and Great Northern influences block coal Legislation for Alaska because those corporations have coal to sell,
 The Roosevelt administration poses as the enemy of monopoly and sets up the pretense that in holding Alaska coal out of the market it is heading off coal monopoly in the territory, yet by so doing it is helping the big corporations of the Northwest to keep n grip on the Pacific coast market The coal of the katalla field has been To- cated by several companies, none of them extremely wealthy, and those of the Cook Inlet region and the Alas ka peninsula are claimed by still Oth- CT interests. There is no coal trus. in sight in Alaska.
 When the lOcators can get titlr to coal in Alaska several iiDmishing cum mining towns will spring up, riirond building will be stimulated, and coal will be cheaper to consumers in Alas ka and the states of the lower coast.
