Death of Mrs. E. N.
 Fish at Tucson

Iu lhe passing of Mrs E x Fish last night there died the woman who opened the public schools of Tucson and practically of the territory. Few fl ger things could he said of anyone than this, few achievements could be nobler or frsugh. with better good.
 Men, and women too, are sometimes heralded as great who have made much of themselves. But the true meas. ure of greatness and goodness of the people should be what they have done for others.
 In 1871 when Governor Stafford in- vited Mrs Fish, then Miss Wakefield, to come to Arizona and ipsugurate the public schools in Tucson, there were no railroads, the deserts stretched out desolate about here and hostile Indians ranged the country. But th;s woman brsved the dangers and came and took the post. She placed her heart aud soul in the work and the splendid school system of today in Tucson and m Arizona Is sn out growth from her early efforts Tucson Citizen.
