WILL HAVE 4 HOME
 HERBERT ). CROY
A Little Boy Who Had a Hard Time
 Of r..

Herbert D. Croy will have a good home now, the first that he can re member about. It will be at ths in dustrial school. This little boy is only ten years old. Both his parents are dead He has two uncles living, with one of whom he made such a home as he had. When that uncle left the country, the boy found him self adrift in the world along the Verde
 He. came to Phoenix with the few belongings he had, one of them the setting from an old ornament which he learned in some way his mother had pinned upon him when ne was eight months old.
 His forlorn case was brought 70 the attention of the juvenile court and it was decided to send him to Colonel Mahoney. The boy was told so many nice things about Colonel Mahoney that he was impatient to make d start for Benson.
 No doubt. many a family would have been glad to adopt the child for he is not only a good boy but wise beyond his years. He will be an ad- dition to the Benson school and when he comes out of it he will be more of man than he is now and he is far more of a man now than most boys of his age, though they have had the advantages of a home and kind parents.
 There will be another boy at the Benson school but he will be of a different kind. It will not be his first term either. He is Primitive Molino who attracted considerable attention to himself three or four years ago by his precocious wickedness It was thought that he would be a great man if he could only be started right and it was thought that he could get that kind of a start at Benson. He was sent there and after time was discharged as cured Nothing more was heard here about him until the other day complaint was made that somebody was stealing everything that was not nailed down between Mesa and Ray. It was Primitive. He was brought to jail and his case is pending but he will probably be re committed though he is getting rath- er old for reform school boy.

THE CRIB FOR l9n
 A FINE PUBLICATION
Annual Souvenir of the Evans School
 for Boys.

The 1911 edition of The Crib. the Evans school annual has just been is sued from The Republicans job print ing department and takes its place as one of the neatest pieces of job work ever turned out in these parts. The cover is of drab, ornamented with the name in the upper left hand corner. All the rest of the cover is bare save down in the lower right hand corner is the picture of a bowling coyote. sahs tree, shrub. or flower. the general effect be- ing that of the lonesomeness of the desert. It is quite suggestive of the desert school conducted by Mr. Evans southeast of Mesa City, for the private tutoring of young Americans who wish to combine the pure free life of the open western country. with their daily investigations of the text books.
 The Evans school was originally on the desert, but in such a wonderful land it could not remain so long, and now the green and fertile fields sur round it on every hand, though the des- ert is still near enough for all prac- tical purposes. A most notable aggre- gation is represented by its enrolment, sons of estimable families east and west, who are in a position to provide the young gentlemen with ideal ad- vantages for both culture and health, with the widest degree of personal liberty deemed to be beneficial. In this institution the desert Eunt, the mountain trip and tine horseback ride are regarded equally as important as the perusal of the classics. the pursuit of the elusive fraction or the principles of philosophy. The annual is the year ly souvenir of the school In it appears the names of all the students, with here and there a joke that illustrates the personality of each. his familiar name and his predominating character istics. There is little aDOut the school and a lot about the boys
 The annual is also an official regis ter of the details of all important events pertaining to the school during the year. There is a record of all the athletic events participated in, of the mountain trip to the Expectations. of desert hikes. etc. One special event is the visit of Theodore Roosevelt and family in March of this year. as an in cident of Mir. ROosevelt's visit to Ari- zona for the dedication of the big stor- age dame that bears his name, his son Archie beingsa student of the school
 Mention of the annual would not be complete without reference to the ad-
 vertisements, which are numerous, well written and geographically at tractlye Altogether the publication is one that reflects more than passing credit on the school and its students, and incidentally. is one the printers
