"That the public is realizing to a
greater extent than ever before the
necessity of placing the administra-
tion Of municipal government in the
hands of one trained man, has become
very evident during the past year,
said City Engineer Anders today
when speaking of the new city man

growing in popularity.
"The history of the commission
form Of government has become well
known to the majority of intelligent
voters. Having birth in time of nee

been adopted by over 500 cities in the
United States and Canada. But like
all lines of human endeavor, it has
been a success in a degree proper

been prepared for 1t. A careful study
of many cities where it has been
adopted has shown that it has not
been an unalloyed panacea for all
municipal ills. 1t was expected that
as near as possible petty politics
would be eliminated and politics de-
fined as the SCIENCE of government
would be substantiated. That ideal

editor of The Chicago Livestock
World, in an address before the Ma

lambs in the west is going to cause a
mutton famine in the near future. He

PORTION 0F SCHOOL
 TEACHERS ELECTED
Tempe Trustees Hold Lengthy Ses sion and Choose Some
 Pedagogues

After a second long and trying meeting the trustees of the grammar school have elected portion of their teachers for the coming school year In all there will be thirteen teachers in the grammar school system this year ana out of that number eight have been chosen leaving five more to be selected. Those elected include teachers in the primary department and intermediate grades. Miss Helen Roberts will be supervisor of pri- mary work for the coming year with miss Margaret Thew, Miss Jessie Dickinson, Miss Irma Schmidt and Miss Glenna Carter to assist her. This will include the usual primary grades from the beginners inclusive of the fourth year. There will be three more instructors required in this department and they will be chosen as soon as possible.
 Miss Nell McNeal was elected as principal of the grammar school building, including from the first to the seventh grades and she will have direct charge of the sixth year. The building and grounds will be under her supervision. Miss Elizabeth Cos her will again have charge of the fifth grade. Miss Eva Rector, for the past year head of music in the school, has been reelected and will fill the same capacity next season
 She will conduct all music through
 cut the six grades of the grammar school
 A change, owing to T lack of ac- commodations, has heen necessary in
 the administration of the grammar
 school this year. The seventh and
 eighth grades heretofore in the
 grammar building, will be transferred to the high building where they will be quartered. They will be under the supervision of the high school presi- dent, J. oscar Mullen, but will each have d separate teacher in direct charge. It may be possible that these ! two teachers will arrange the work 1 jointly between them, at least it will be almost independent of the gram mar school administration. Teachers | for these two grades have not been chosen and at as early date as possible the board will convene for q third session and hope at that time to finish up the work. Five teach CTS are yet to be picked three for | primary work and two for upper 1 grades.
