A LETTER TO TEACHERS
DUNCAN, ARIz., Oct. 27, 1908.

DUNCAN, AR1Z., Oct. II, l9US.
FELL,w TEACHERs:-Are there
any means which Can be brought
10 Dear that will tend toward bring
ing closer together, for the benefit
of The public schools the teachers
and patrons of our county?
We would suggest something
like contest between the schools
Of the county. Say divide the
county into two sections, tor one
section be- 10 at Franklin aud in
clude all schools on this side of the
county until Clifton is reached,
then for the other section include
all schools in the lower valley be
glnning at San Jose, including
Stafford, Thatcher and all schools
down the river.
Let there be three contests;
defamation, recitation and u
map contest. Allow each school
a contestant in each contest, let
each section hold sectional con
tes, about the first of February,
then about the first OF March, let
the winners of the section Contests
meet In Il county contest and com
pete for the county championship,
which will be Il gold medal. lu
this will be afforded three mert-
ings IF the teachers and patrons
from various parts of the county,
where the interest Of the public
schools can be discussed by our
best educators.
These contests will serve as un
incentive 10 create an interest.
at first each pupil will strive to
represent hts school. After the ones
have been selected 10 represent the
schools, the entlre school will rally
to their support in the section con-
test; tben the winners of the sec
tional contest Will be supported by
tue eutlre sections eLlnuslasm AZ
the county contest.
We believe too little importance
is attached to the literary features
Of our schools. Eternally cram
ming heads with numbers and his
torlcal dates is quite too para
mount with macy. True, we must
learn TO calculate, but II does not
take an entire scbo | life to learn
to calculate, and person vino
launches forth VITO u good com .
mand of language, Il reader, Lniuk-
er aud writer, capable of getting
up before an audience and vivldli
expressing his thoughts, wlthUu. .
that feeling Of lear which sur
rounds SO many OF US, even though
be is not II master of all the inlri
cate aud eudless numerical comb'-
nations of impractical ar'tnmeucS,
he will meet llte's requIrem, nts
much better aud more successfully |
and satlstactorlally.
The FRIDAY afternoon exercises
have practically been eliminated
from our public schools, when Is
II modern, but, as we think, Il m s.
taken idea.
We know teachers AID other
educated people who are masters
Of the most difficult branches of
mathematics and can quote history
from the rising Uf Rome To tn
Ialllug of Spain, yet it would r.
quire the dexterity OF u gen US TO
comprehend their conversation, or
declpner their writings.
We believe If contest of this
kind could be arranged, great
interest would be aroused
in our schools to such an exteul
that the future generations would
point with pride to our generations
for taking the initiative step TO
wards u diversified education. |

TWO BROTHERS CAUGHT

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 3.-[SpeciaI.1
Albert and Hugo Donnerstag, two of
the three brothers charged with counter
feiting, and who escaped from the Dane
county jail last week, We're captured at
their home near Rhinelander last night
about $50 o'clock, and are now lodged
in the Oneida county Jail. Today q
search is being made in the locality of
the home for Rudolph, who is still at
large, and it is believed that he will
either surrender or be captured before
night.
The arrest of the two brothers was
made at the home of Rudolph. about
twelve miles from Rhinelander, last
night without any resistance. 1t is be-
lieved that Hugo, who has served q
term in Waupun, and Albert were about
TO surrender and stand trial. They were
discouraged upon their return home, to
find their mother and sister gone, and
the death of their lawyer, w. II. Shell
don, made further resistance futile. The
brothers will not be brought to Madison
until Rudolph is captured.
