FOUND HUMAN FOOT
 IN DESERTED SPOT
1t is Mummified and Appesrs to Have
 Been Amputated by a Surgeon

Four Mexican boys made an un- usual and a gruesome find yester- day under a mesquite tree, five miles west of Alhambra while they were on hunting trip, it being q human loot thoroughly mummified The boys brought the foot to the police sta tion and the chief through his kind ress directed them to the office of The Republican where it was care fully inspected The suggestion was then made to the boys that they go and bury the foot and wash their hands thoroughly afterward. The Re rublican's graveyard being closed for the season
 The appearance of the member which was severed midway between the ankle and the knee indicates that it was the result of an ampu- tation by a surgeon as the bones are smoothly sawed off and the skin and flesh as realty cut some two or three inches below the top of the bone. as though a flap had been made after the manner of the surgeons The flesh and skin of the foot is dried uD thoroughly and is almost as hard as the bone. The foot is as we'll preserved as any mummi fled portion of body can be and there is no doubt that it is a mod ern foot, though one could not tell whether it had been severed merely a few months or a year or so. The nail of the great toe is stil in place, though the others are dried and blackened.
 The shape of the member suggests tlat it is a woman's foot. being long and slender, and a tell woman at that, but it is noticed also that there is a goodly quantity of hair on the top of the toes and on the instep, which is not usually the case with d woman's foot.
 The boys who found the foot are Alizar Quijuis. Alfred Lemon, Ignacio Ramez, and Ramon Barela.

DOCTOR K|RKE

Phoenix Has as Good High School Equipment as Any City of Equal Size in the Mississippi Valley, Says Eastern Educator

Certain unWise strangers think that there is a good deal of local patriot ism and maybe a little local prejudice in the Phoenicians pride in the new high school Other travellers there are who know better, and one of these last is Dr. Kirke. the president of the Missouri State Normal School and Teachers college, who has come to Phoenix to attend the Maricopa County Teachers association now in session in the high school auditor ium.
 Dr. Kirke is enthusiastic about the west In his own words he likes the fire under the boiIer' spirit-the snap and the go that gets there.
 But Dr. Kirke's greatest interest is naturally in educational institutions. He has served in his present ca pacity of college president for four teen years. Previous to that time he was state superintendent of schools and for time inspector schools for the State University. In one way or another he has been engaged in edu- tdllOHdl NOIh III IIIOIt lidn Hall Ol the states of the union So his words carry weight when he says that Phoenix has as good high school buildings and equipment as any city of equal size in the Mississippi val ley" Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri, a city almost as large as Phoenix, has a high school plant worth about a third as much as the Phoenix plant.
 But buildings fall as far short of making a school as the proverbal four walls do of making a home The curriculum and the personnel of the faculty are the making of the school
 And it was just here that pr kirke was most hearty in his praise He says of Professor Stabler; Your principal has caught the spirit of the new education and caught it right He has done a daring thing He has planned a curriculum to meet the ! needs of the masses of Phoenix and this school is going to graduate cap able youngsters"
 Shall the high school curriculum be dictated by the universities for the | benefit of those few who find their way into the higher institutions or | shall the courses be planned to meet the needs of the ninety per cent who do not 50 to college2" This is a question which has been discussed l pro and con. in school and out. for years, and Dr. kirke believes that it has been rightly answered in Phoe- | nix The leading high school princi- pals make every effort to fit the pu- pill for life and say to the university, take him when I'm done with him l industrial and commercial educa- tion are taking the country (again
 the doctors words) and half your curriculum is devoted to this line.
 Room by room your school is as well
 equipped for these new courses as the high schools of St, Louis"
 pr Kirke believes that specializa-
 tion may well be begun in high school and that vocational training is the | best means of holding the young sters." He is surprised to find a western school so completely in har- mony with his own ideas and ideals
 Withal the doctor likes Phoenix He says so kindly and heartily and also that he expects to see more of the city and valley and to have his liking
 increase accordingly

During the feudal period, when the
class distinction was strict, the marriage
took place only between the people of
the same class, but since the Restora-

marriage is free between people OF all
ranks and occupations. There are a
great number OF Japanese marrying
foreign wives Many of those who mar

An interesting fact about the foreign

very few OF them are American women.

European women make very happy mar
