ASSIGNMENT | IF TEACHERS Personnel in the Grammar
 Schools MOST OF THEM EXPERIENCED
Phoenix Starts Year With Satisfactory Conditions in Every Way - Buildings and Books, Teachers and Pupils.

Success in school teaching, in teaching the young idea how to shoot forth into the world, depends | upon the personality of teachers. upon their teaching ability. Of this there is no means by which the public of a community can judgn except the proved ability of the teacher or those by whom the teach CTS are selected in this particular re- spect. Certificates represent acquire ments of knowledge but not neces- sarily teaching ability That must be demonstrated by performance in the school room.
 Of the sixty teachers for the gram mar schools of Phoenix, thirty eight have taught in them before from one to ten years consecutively. leaving only twentytwo who may be said to | be new teachers here With but two | exceptions, these new ones will be | located in the Adams and Central school buildings.
