A Measure of Economy

The schools Of Maricopa county, in consequence
of these conferences will be benefited in other ways

school management and what would bring about
greater efficiency as well as greater economy That

the abuse was more fragrant than anywhere else.
Mr. Hotchkiss made the discovery that trustees

travagant prices other apparatus that may have
been useful but inferior. Better qualities at
lower prices could have been secured in the towns
of Bisbee and Douglas than the trustees We're get

The Republican at became interested in
the revelations Of Mr., Hotchkss and gave them the
widest publicity Superintendent higgins Of this
county had discovered that the situation

form 1t this discovery that suggested the
conference of school trustees.
Meanwhile, President Wilde of the University
of Arizona, whose energies by means
fined to the Improvement and growth of that in
stitution, but who is alert for the Improvement of
the entire public school system of the state had
become interested and joined the fight for the
abolition of the costly abuse
His paper read a the conference on Saturday,

prescribed not only plain plan for the abatement

but he presented the outlines a plan easily fol-

just profits. The plan is supplemented by another

All this, of course, is only the beginning. Other
reforms will be taken up from time time and,
doubtless among them will be proposal for
