TERRITORIAL
 TEXT BOOKS Preparations for The Public
 School Pupils PRICES PER BOOK, l3 ID 6OC Really Few Changes Made Prize Speller of Cleve- land Chosen - History Taught Largely by Pic lures.

The principals of the Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe. osborn. Alma, Lehi and other high schools. and the teachers of all the ungraded schools as well who desire to do so. will meet at the Central school building in Phoenix "Wednesday morning of this week, to further outline and arrange for the use in the schools of the new text books adopted by the Arizona territo- rial board of education May 20. The purpose is to arrange for uniform grading of the schools. so that chil- dren will not suffer in their grading by passing from one school to anoth- CT.
 The new list of books is to hold good for four years from May 20.
 The most important change is that the Walsh arithmetic is replaced by the SouthWorth- Stone arithmetic This is a change that will be very generally welcomed by teachers. par ents and pupils. The arrangement of the contents of the Walsh book while very good theoretically, especially if there had been some mechanical way of easily distinguishing positions of the different portions of each study, yet in practice to almost everyone. teachers as well as pupil and parent, it was very confusing. What was worse. the series had practically no rules or statements of method for working different classes of problems. which threw a great deal of additional work upon the conscientious teacher and great deal of additional worry as well as work upon the pupils, if teachers were not conscientious in the discharge of their duty toward them. The SouthWorth- Stone is much preferable book in every way.
 The series of lessons in the con- structiOn of the English language, called English Spoken and Written, is really but a revised and up-to-d date edition of the textbook already in use in the schools under a different name.
 The same may be said for the text book in geography.
 Mace's history replaces McMaster's because it was said that the latter was too difficult-toO dry might be the better term. It is certain that the new book is extremely interest ing, dealing as it does more with all the varied industrial and other in terests of real life and less exclusive ly with the history and action of political administrations than some. It is profusely and beautifully illus trated. Whether McMaster's can be criticized properly or not, certainly it would be difficult for a book to be more interesting and real" than the one of history of this country that has now been adopted
 Gulick's has been substituted for Overton's physiology largely because it deals more with hygiene and sani- tation.
 Hicks Champion speller replaces Hunts Progressive largely because it| is the book used in the schools of Cleveland ohio, which have a re- markedly good record of excellence in spelling on the part of their pupils

one that took well was "Thc Wage Farmer and the Tramp" the story of two rich men who Wagered that one. of them could not make his living at work He went out and did it., though. and in the process he acci- dcntaIly got a fine wife, who was also making her living working and was rich. but she did not know it. so that the finding of it out was a pleasant surprise to them. as it is to the audience.
 Another that drew the cheers and plaudits of the house was Tested by the Flag" story of war in the Philippine islands.
 Her Sacrifice" is the story of a girl who was woocd by a Count, and who was shot asd killed while de- lending g. former lover whom the count wanted to shoot.

SCALP |TCHED 50 SHE COULDN'T SLEEP
Nor Keep from Scratching. Became Worse and Worse. In Two Weeks Rid Completely ofTroubIe through
 UseofCuticura Soap and Ointment.

"One evening while combing my hair, noticed a few brown crustlike spots on my scalp and. of course, l thought 1t was only a little dust that had settled there during the week So l washed my hair thoroughly but saw that they wouldn't come out. Then at the end of the next week l washed my hair again, and to my aStonishmeRt l saw not only those few but many more had come. Then my head became worse and worse. and my scalp started to itch terribly. so that l could not sleep nor keep from scratching my head.
 ''The crustlike places later opened and made sores which bled, and they also itched something terrible. l tried many remedies but none helped and instead they made my head worse. This condition of my scalp kept up for a month, and then one day l met a friend and she advised me to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment which did. In two weeks l was rid completely of this trouble, through the use of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I am never without them, for they are my most highly valued friends" (Signed) Miss Ava Gustafson. 677 Second Ave. New York City. May l7, 1911.
