THE BAND CONCERT
 WED WITH CARNIVAL
AND THERE WAS AN ADDITION
 AL ATTRACTION
All the Attractions of Seaside Re
 sort, Less the Sea.

The Board of Trade might do well to add to his pamphlet that Tempe affords all the attractions of a sum- mer resort, less the ocean. Saturday evening was one to be remembered here. The Great Russell shows, which have been holding forth for the past week, put on a little extra effort Sat urday evening and drew big crowd. The bankers made lots of noise, there was lots of excitement, and every body had a good time. 'V
 At the Casa Loma the public was offered the opportunity of hearing some good music by the Tempe band, which again resumed it's regular bi- weekly concerts. The crowd divided it's attention between the band con- cert and the carnival show. The band has made excellent progress since its last public appearance, and is doing first class work. The program Sat urday evening was the most difficult yet attempted and was rendered in good shape.
 In addition to the two attractions above mentioned, there was the usual moving picture show at the Goodwin opera house, which attracted it's share of patronage. Altogether, there was no lack of amusement here Saturday evening, and the town had on a live ly air.

REGULATION
 PROVIDING For Uniformity In Normal
 Study Courses APPLYING TO BOTH SCHOOLS Adopted Saturday at a Meet ing of the Board of Edu- cation and Tending to Raise the Standard of Both Institutions.
APPLYING 10 BOTH SCHOOLS

An important meeting of the Board of Education was held Saturday af ternOon, all members with the ex- ception of Governor Kibbey, being present In addition to the governor the following named constitute the board and were in attendance at Saturdays meeting: Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirk Moore presiding. President Babcock, of the University; President Taylor, of the Northern Normal; President Mat thews, of the Tempe Normal Supt J. D. Loper, of the Mesa schools; H. Q. Robertson, principal of the Tempe public school, and Territorial Treas urer Kirkland.
 The most important matter taken up by the board was the adjustment of the normal courses to conform to the new law passed by the last leg islature. This law was passed for the express purpose of raising the standards of the two institutions and refers almost exclusively to the courses of the schools, requiring them to be uniform, both as to subject IldlAti anu ltli6lh bA NAlllt Nu for completion. The result of the conference Saturday was the adop- .tion of the following resolution which applies to the regular course of both the Tempe and the Flagstaff normals.
 The length of the regular school year shall be thirty-eight weeks, ex- elusive of summer school.
 There shall be two regular courses leading to graduation for the pur- pose of securing diploma to teach in the schools of the territory-a minimum of five years for graduates from the eighth grade of the public schools, and a minimum of two years for graduates of a four years high school course.
 In order to simplify the arrange ment of the course so the work is reduced to units. The term unit is used to denote a subject studied through one school year with five class exercises per week, two labo- ratory periods to equal one class ex- ercise.
 Fifteen units in academic subjects and nine in professional subjects must be acquired for the normal diploma, as hereafter outlined.

THE SUDDEN DEATH
 0F r. H. R|ECKHOFF
He Passed Away Yesterday Morning
 at Nine O'Clock.

F. H. Rieckhoff, proprietor of the Tempe bakery, died yesterday morn ing at nine o'clock at his home in the Andre building. Though it was not generally known Mir. Rieckhoff has been a very sick man for months, though he was able to con- tinue his work until the first of last week. While his death was not un- expected to his family and most in timate friends, others were much surprised to learn of 1t.
 MT. Rieckhoff came here from Chi cago about five years ago for the benefit of his health, and since then has conducted a bakery here with excellent success, having built up a splendid trade.
 The funeral arrangements were not entirely completed at the hour of writing yesterday, but they will prob ably be held at half past one this afternoon and the interment will be made in the Double Butte cemetery. The deceased was not a member of any church or fraternal organization.

A CITY ORDINANCE
 WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUNDAY OPERATION OF THE RUSSELL SHOWS 1t Has In 1t Defect That Should
 Be at Once Corrected.

That the great Russell shows should have been allowed to continue opera tions all day yesterday and last evening, indicates plainly that there is a defect in one of the city ordi- nances. According to Marshal Brown an effort was made to have the show cease operations on the Sabbath, but upon Investigating the ordinances and consulting the city attorney, he dis covered that they were exempt from any action, and so long as the license was paid there was nothing to prevent the show from continuing it's performance on Sunday or any other day. The ordinance plainly says that a circus or street parade is not allowed on Sunday, but there is no way in which the ordinance may be construed to cover such an attraction as the one presented by the Russels. This defect in the ordinance is one that should not be allowed to pass without correction.
 It is a matter of speculation just how much good or how much harm show of the kind that has been here the past week does the town, and public opinion is divided. In the first place, the town gains $1O per day in the way of license, but how much the show takes out of the town in hard cash is merely a matter of conjecture. At the least, it is many times the amount of the license. Though the company claims to have done only a fair business here, it is certain that several hundred dollars found it's way into their coffers.
 The aggregation breaks camp to- day and moves to Mesa for a weeks stand

NEW HOUSES
The Auction Sale of Thursday Means
 an Impetus to Building.

The results of the big auction sale of last Thursday, when sixty-five de- sirable residence lots were sold, are already beginning to be felt. Several different parties who purchased lots are planning to build during the summer. On the corner Ito just op- posite the Schmidt home, Theo Dick inson will erect a modern home cost ing several thousand dollars. Other owners in that district are planning less pretentious residences. It is not likely that much will be done in the new tract, however, until city water mains are run through it. Just when this will be Is not known, though it is thought the city will be glad to make the extension at any time there is evidence that there will be suf- ficient building to warrant the move.
