Groaned louder than the thunder storm
And died I'm deep distress.

 SECTIONS

TUCSON, Nov. 27.-Studying the ec' onomie, social and educational condi' tions in rural districts, the commission on country life, appointed by President Roosevelt to make tour of the south west arrived in Tucson early Tuesday morning on its tour of the southwest. The commission held sessions at the University where they learned from To. cal agricultural ranehers and from wis itors from the Salt River and Gila Val ley countries about conditions in their respective neighborhoods.
 Stated briefly. the main purpose of the commission is to endeavor to dis cover some means to stem the tide of emigration from the rural districts in- to the cities and to cause the pendulum to swing backward.

If not imposing upon the Silver Belt and its readers, l would like to say something further on the school ques- ton, touching on several points which have not ben brought out in the dis cussion.
 How, may 1 ask, has Professor Smith ascertained that there are 425 chil- Der enrolled' If such is the case, it would seem to be an unanswerable ar gument in favor of providing addition al accommodation for grammar school pupils, rather than to incur the expense of large and imposing structure for the use of few high school scholars, the cost of whose instruction would be out of all proportion to that of the ehil- dren in the common schools. Thorough instruction by competent teachers is the essential thing in education; fine buildings and expensive accessories are not necessary to the successful conduct of school.
 It has become serious question with many ihtciiE'hb f'NPi' "h''h'' fN" lie education in the United States is not being overdone. Between the high falutin notions of school trustees, the fads and fancies of some modern edu- cators, and the machinations of the school book trust, education in this country seems to be fast degeneratng into an ostentatious and empty display, for which the people are paying dearly. Instead of thorough instruction being given in elementary English and mathe. 'matics, innovations in the methods of teaching and changes of text books are continually being made, which are sub. versive of the true aim of education. We should strive to simplify the eur riculum and to have the child well grounded in spelling, grammar and arithmetic, without which knowledge higher education must be failure.
 There is another matter that is per. tinent in this connection, namely, the selection of teachers. The present board

of trustees seems to have favored send ing to Texas, Michigan and other states for teachers, apparently ignoring the fact that we are supporting two normal schools in Arizona to equip young men and young women, whose homes are in , the territory, to become teachers. Some of the best teachers we have in our schools were educated in Arizona, and in the employment of teachers, gradu- ates of our normal institutions should be given the preference.
 Some well meaning people are so en- thusiastic over the bright prospects for Globe that they would mortgage the flu. ture to the limit. There are also few who pay only nominal taxes, yet never lose an opportunity to expatiate on our need of better schools, good roads and other pnhlic Improvements; and they the ever ready to vote to bond the city or the county for any amount, howso. ever large. They remind one of the travelling actor who in the play gave away principalities, and next morning begged quarter to buy breakfast. It is easy to pose as public spirited cit izen when it costs so little.
 The financial problem for county, municipality or school district is not greatly different from that confronting an individual. To either great prosper ity is dangerous, as it is very apt to in duce cxtravaganee, which may lead to serious difficulty. Questions involving the expenditure of large amounts of money for public Improvements merit deliberation and the fullest discussion before action that is irrevocable be taken.
 There Is no need of haste in this mat ter of building more school houses. It were better to defer voting bonds for high school building until this and other questions pressing for solution have been carefully considered. Such course would insure more harmonious action, and there would be fewer mis- takes, 10 regret afterwards.

1t is likely that the most embarrass-

last Monday in Sixth avenue store.
he was mild, inoffensive looking

the store, looking with interest at the
crowd below. Presently his eve alight-

ed from counter to counter In tow Of
q very large woman. Just as he look
ed down at the boy the boy looked up
at him. Instinctively perceiving, with
dia bolic instinct what would be his
own youthful propensity it he occu-
pied a similar point Of vantage, the boy
struck beseeching attitude and called
out in impIoring accents:
"Oh. mister; please. mister, don't spit
on me"
For man with no intention of spit

else the situation was certainly awk-
