American Teaching Prince of Wales
to Run Auto.

AS if British automobile manufacturers
didn't have enough to worry over in the
invasion" of American ears, the king
himself has added to their anxieties by
appointing an American automobile in
structor to teach his son, the Prince OF
Wales. how to operate IA car. This Amer
lean. by the way, is the man who taught
the kings father to drive car. and it is
for this reason chiefly that King George
has chosen him i'm preference to the many
excellent English engineers and mechan
les The British manufacturers don't
like the appointment and make no secret
of their diSpleasure. They claim that
there might have been some excuse ten
or twelve years ago for choosing an
American, but that there is none now, as
there are hundreds OF Englishmen capa-
BILE and willing to educate the prince in
all the technicalities of automobile driv-
ing and construction.

RICHMOND. Va, January 95.-Re-
districting for members of the general
assembly will be one of the big ques-
tions which will engage the attention
of the lawmakers a the session to he
held here early in the coming year. It
was one of the issues jim the last SEES
sion. but when the liquor issue doomed
UP good and strong there was a
scrambling and a surrender TO the
minority members in the senate in order
to defeat the proposition to allow the
voters of the state to pass on the mat
ter of prohibition. The deal was COM
pleted in jiffy. the liquor men capitu-
lating to the minority, and making it
possible to prevent the matter coming
TO a vote. The dominant party was
evenly divided. and when there was a
chance to so arrange the senatorial dis
tricts that democrat would have been
elected in all save possibly three of the
present republican districts the protest
and compliance with the demands of the
minority was readily conceded The
same senate comes back next term. and
while the house of delegates may de-
termine to alter its own districts the
chances are that the senate will stand
pat, as at present arranged, and insist
on the compact of last year being ad-
hered to in every way.
The dry" men have gathered many
facts since the last session, and' there
is the usual promise that when the
election this fall is had that the usual
interrogatories will be propounded To
the candidates for the house, as well
as to the candidates for places on the
state ticket. 1t is important to note
that the party stands right on the ques-
tion of local option, but this time the
candidates will be asked the direct
question il they Will agree TO vote 10
submit the liquor issue to the voters
of the state at large. If this Is not
done then there are chances that the
dry forces will unite with the repub-
licans and do d little scheming of their

When 1t is possible have old material turned in before the new is used out worn erasers for new ones: pencil stubs for new pencils, broken penholders for whole ones. empty boxes. etc, Such a practice impresses care in the use of old material and enables tine trus- tees to cooperate with the teach CTS more effectively and better to under stand the needs of the schools. But the system must not be parsimonious and so discourage the teachers in their work.
 4n my Judgment a fuller aequaiat- anee of the public with it's schools is desirable. And so l would advise a quarterly financial report of the trus- tees to the people of their town, to he published in the local newspapers as news items. People in Arizona are generous to their schools; they want the best and are willing to pay for them, but they should have the fullest information how their money Is used and what returns are got from it. With the report of the trustees should go that of the superintendent or principal as to the educational workings of the schools; these two reports would in. terest the public and enlist a senti- ment Of cooperation and pride in the achievement of the schools
