Some of the Reasons Why One As pirins School Teacher Will Be
 Disappointed.

Among the recent papers returned to the territorial board of examiners by an applicant for a certificate to teach school, as the fruits of her ex- animation in the county in which she resides, was one set by d young lady who will have to make consid- erable improvement in her work be- fore she can hope to be entrusted with the responsibility of teaching the young Arizona idea how to shoot or before she will be allowed to bend any twigs for fear the trees will in cline too much
 It is unfortunately true that many school teachers are not as strong on orthography as they ought to be, but this particular applicant is so grotesquely weak that her imperfec- tons are really amusing It may be explained that the practice of the examiners is to mark the papers first on spelling. arithmetic and grammar If they pass the necessary percentage in these. their qualifications in other branches are taken up. If they do not. it is not worth while to inquire any further In this particular case the board was aware after a glance at the spelling that there would be nothing doing in the certificate line However, curiosity prompted the ex- aminers to take a peep at the appli- cant's arithmetic. and it was found to be just as bad and further mark ing of the papers ceased. Fifty words were given in the spelling ex- animation, of which fifteen were spelled correctly. or the thirty-five that were misspelied. some were So

CONSTRUCTION OF
 FLORENCE BRIDGE
Board of Control Has Decided to Re- advertise, Bids to Be Opened
 January 15.

Wednesday. December &. was the day set for the opening of bids for the construction of the bridge to cross the Giia river at Florence. in pursuance of the territorial road plan. Two gen. tlemen who had been here and looked over the site were on hand represent ing construction firms. and some oth- CT bids were available. The board. however. decided to postpone action and re-advertise. which order has been made, the date for opening being now set on January 15, 1910.
 This action was taken for several reasons, and one of the best of them is that the bidders and prospective bidders were all very agreeable to it as the time elapsing between the comple- ton of the plans and the opening of bids was rather short. It was believed that some firms failed to make an ef- fort to bid for that reason. while those which did respond regretted that they had to make their estimates so hurriediy.
 The time was made short in the first place in the hope that the work could
 
 before the high water that is expected in the early spring. If that could have been accomplished several months might have been gained in the final completion of the structure. But 1t took longer than expected to dispose of the preliminaries after the levy for raising a road fund. The plans were hurried through and bids advertised for in the hope that the successful bid der might get to throwing dirt this month and get the foundations in be- fore the big rains in the mountains. It was really attempting the impossible and when that became apparent it was decided that it would be better to take no cognizance of the first bids, adver tise again and give every construction company that might desire to compete plenty of time to do so. Those inter- ested can secure needed information by addressing the territorial engineer, Engineer J. B. Girand.
Arizona republican., 1909-12-10

Another interesting fact noted was that not q single applicant. male or female. missed the word "osculate," but Mir. Moore requested that noth- ing be said about that. It is being slipped through. in the hope that he will not see it. for others do not want to forget osculate any more than the school teachers do.

bill declares. proved misleading. The bill
