\ GOOD SCHOOL
 YEAR IS CLOSED
Superintendent Iotchkiss Talks lnterestingly-Move- ment for Parent Teachers Association Under Way


 il. II. Hotchkiss, county superintend- ent of schools, was a brief visitor In the city yesterday on his way 10 Tombstone from Douglas While here his special mission was a short in spection of the displays of pupils handicraft on exhibition at the Central school, which he took occasion to sub sequently declare to a reporter to be highly creditable. Asked concerning matters in general way, Mfr Hotca- kiss said:
 The grammar schools of the coun- ty conclude their year this week and enter the vacation period. From con ference with teachers and reports from these, my office finds that the at tendance has been exceptionally good to close of the year and that gains m every district in the county indicate general growth in population.
 ''On the whole, teachers in the va rious districts may be said to have giy- en an exceptional degree of satisfac- ton during the year. there has been the minimum complaint and adverse comment, and the ratings submitted by the various teachers on department of members of their classes tells a story of constantly improving disciD- line and self maintained good order in the schools. Results in progress in studies, as shown by class reports and examinations returns show gain; as they normally should. over past years The school system is constantly i'm proving, not only here but everywhere in the country Our chief effort is to keep abreast with the times, the new methods and the constantly ad- yancing ideas-all in the recent past tending more and more to the pracJi cal side of education and life. And in all of these ways the work of pap- ills. teachers and school trustees in Cochise county, it is very gratifying to say, has been attended by material advance in the last year.
 Commenting further upon school work the superintendent of schools said yesterday that he hoped during the present vacation season to see q movement we'll started toword the or ganization of Parent Teachers socle- ties in each school district in the coTn- ". Parents interested in the welfare of the schools are taking hold Of the Parent Teachers Association Idea eT- erywherc in the west and through the interest that these associations take following Jheir organization the schools are being greatly benefited. Parents are brought in direct touch with the school work, life and ambi- tons and come to share in & constd- erable measure the efforts Of the teachers for improvements through the Association meetings and enter tainments, there is brought about a better neighborhUOd interest and un- derstauding, with resultant beneht to the school work.
 In both Bisbee and Douglas there is expectation during the summer Parent Te@rhers associations will be formed and that by the beginning oi the school year in the fail there will be working organizations ready ~h-ch will be able to lend much assistance and encourage the extension ot the association organization plan through every district in the county.

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Reduction in the Bank Dis
count Rate Had Already
Been Discounted.

LONDON. April 19.-The event of the
week in financial circles was the re-
ductiOn of the bank rate from the abnor-
NAL per cent level imposed at the
commencement OF the Balkan war. The
action of the directors of the bank was
taken as an indication that the political
cloud. which has overhung the market
since the outbreak of hostilities is grad
ually but surely dispensing.
The reduction had been practically dis
counted early in the week, when the
money market lowered rates in anticipa-
ton of the cut and the stock market pro-
fessionals bought in the hope of outside
support. But the latter is still lacking
and some disappointed dealers realized
at the end of the week. thereby reducing
earlier gains, and consols closed an
eighth lower than last Saturday.
The AZ per cent rate, which. it is ex-
pected, will be followed by 4 per cent, as
soon as peace is concluded, while ap-
preciated by the trade of the country, is

short sales being encountered by the
favorable weather map and the fore
cast Of continued good weather. Bulls
offered little support. but a good de-
mand was created by the weekend

demand checked the downward move
ment at 1906 for July. On the open
ing the tone was steady and prices were
2 to points down. Prices fell during
the morning until they were to 8

The net results Of the weeks trading
in the future market were a decline of

Heavy selling of the near months, which

Gel of the manipulation now going on to
gain control of the May position. cou-
pied with bearish sentiment against the
new crop months because of favorable
crop reports, put the market down. At
times there was considerable transferring
Of commitments from the old to the new
crop on the part of smaller traders, who
feared the large operations under way in
May and July. The story went the rounds
persistently that European cotton men
were heavy buyers of May contracts in
the markets this side of the water.
and are contemplating the taking up of
cotton on contracts in a wholesale way
and shipping to the other side. In spite
of these stories the market was under Sc
we're pressure during the last two days
of the week.
During the first of the week tempera-
lures were too low to allow weather con-
ditions over the cotton region to be called
very favorable. At the same time the
dry weather allowed great progress to be
made with planting, although the low
temperatures retarded termination and
the healthy growth of the young plants.
Later temperatures warmed up and the
only complaints were from Texas. where
rain was needed. Planting is now fin
ished over a large part of the belt, and
choppng is under way In the southern
portions. Planting has extended well into
the northern sections Of the belt Bears
considered crop conditions to be very ia
vorable, and sold considerable cotton
short on the outlook. with the result
that the new crop months were driven
to new low levels. In the spot depart
ment prices lost one-sixteenth of a cent,

year. Sales on the spot amounted to 2, 142
bales, against 1873 last week and 2,OoO
this week last year; sales to arrive
amounted to 1.525 bales, against zoos
last week and 2295 this week last year.

Hopes for Currency Reform.
It is the hope Of the financial district
that the way will be cleared for taking
up currency reform the first thing when
Congress assemblies in regular session
next December. Financiers are deeply
impressed with the Importance of this
subject and hope to be able to educate
the public to their way of thinking so
that action may be had. Agitation for
currency reform has heretofore been con-
fined to comparatively small element
and it has been found almost hopeless
task to get the people as whole IN
terested. With tariff out Of the way,
however, there will be free field for
agitation on the subject and something
practical may be done within the next
two years It is President Wilson's ar
dent wish that his party puts itself on
record as capable of handling the 1ntrl-
cate proposition.
Prosecutions of numerous trusts no
longer engage the scared attention OF
Wall street. The campaign in general
has become an old story, the details or
which arouse no excitement outside of the
officials and stockholders of the corpora
tons directly concerned. The inquiries
which are going on in Harvester, Steel,
Anthracite Coal and dozen other spe-
cialties occupy very little space In the
newspapers and are given slight hearing
Proceedings which are now reported ap-
pear to be largely perfunctory. There

might be said there is nothing doing" as
