cept longer time for payment of bills
than is absolutely necessary; there is
temptation to diversion of money for
other purposes.
Now and then it is necessary to buy
goods without having the freight
charges included in the bill. When this
is the case ask the local freight agent
for the most favorable classificatlons
under which the goods may be shipped,
so that you may have this information
for permanent use. Doubtless the
dealer. if honest. viii tell you this. See
that goods of a lower ella Justification are
not packed with those of higher ana
so all have to pay the higher rate.
When possible combine with your
neighbors in shipping from distant

rates, or at least hundred pound con-
signments for the hundred pound rate

! order of light weight, place several Of
your orders in the same city and have

J issuance of every item-What. when,
and to whom issued. Check up the dis
tribution by teachers and buildings
and it will be found that some are eco

/ is possible. have old material turned IN
! before the new is issued; out worn
erasers for new ones pencil stubs for
new pencils, broken penholders for

J Such practice impresses care in the
use of the old material and enables the
trustees to cooperate with the teachers
\ 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
! In my judgment q fuller acquaintance
= of the public with it's schools is desir-
able. And SO ! would advise a quar-
terly financial report of the trustees
to the people of their town, to be pun
; lished in the local newspapers as news
items. People of Arizona are generous
to their schools: they want the best
and are willing to pay for them, but
they should have the fullest informa
ton how their money is used and what
returns are got from it. With the re-
port of the trustees should go that OF
the superintendent or principal as to
the educational workings of the
schools; these two reports would in
ferest the public and enlist a sentiment
/ of cooperation and pride in the achieve
ments Of the schools.

Education is a business and the bet

Pair of R0umanians Picked Up
in Connection with Killing

FORMER BOARDER IN
CERVASE HOME SOUGHT
Believed That He and Chum Are
Guilty of Double
Tragedy

With the passage of "a hours and
no trace Of the slayers of Albert Ger
vase and Albert Catalano. the police
are "up against" one Of the unwrit-
ten laws in such cases, which is,
that with 24-hour start, Italian
slayers are seldom brought to justice.
Two suspects" were arrested by
the Highland Park police at 3
o'clock. Wednesday morning, but the
men are Roumanians, the police say,
and little Importance is attached to
the arrests. One Of the prisoners,
who gave his name as Joe Tree, had
a revolver with several OF the cham
bers empty.
The other man would not tell his
name, protesting to be unable to un-
derstand no English. The pair we're
lettering near Manchester and Wood
wardaves. at 3 o'clock. and their
jargon conversation led the alert
Highland Park officers to take them
in for investigation.
Tree said that they had come
from Worcester. O.. Tuesday, and
were looking for work.
Detectives Rogers and Balone,
the Italian sleuths at work on the
case, are satisfied that former
boarder in the Cervase home had a
hand in the shooting. as he and Ger
vase had had many quarrels, and
jealousy is hinted at.
The high heel shoes, which left
imprints at the scene of the crime,
were OF the style worn by a chum OF
the boarder. the chum being known
as a mysterious person, who was
designated, In whispers. in the Sici-
liam colony, as gun man"
The detectives declare that there
is marked similarity between the
handwriting Of the boarder. and that
on the threatening letters received
by Cervase.
