SCHOOL SUPT.
VISITS HERE
INSPECTS PARKER SCHOOL AND
FINDS MANY THINGS WHICH
CAL AMBITIONS.

Mrs. Louise Boehringer, superin-
tendent of schools for Yuma county,
spent Monday here visiting the Par
ker public school. She is on her an
nual tour of inspection of the schools
of northern Yuma county.
Mrs. Boehringer was highly pleas
ed with the Parker school and it's eff
ficient corps of teachers. She also
praised the hospitality of the Parker
people, and said many nice things
about the progress being made in the
local school.
Asked as to her candidacy for the
state senate, she denied having any
ambitions in that direction, stating
that her work was entirely education
al and that she could not afford to
mix in politics. She will undoubtedly
be candidate this fall for reelection
as superintendent of schools, but will
leave the state senate strictly alone,
although she expressed herself as IA
voring the candidacy of women for
legislative offices.
Monday evening Mrs. Boehringer
gave out the following interview TO
The Post:
"The program of work was SO inter
esting from nine o'clock until four
o'clock in both parts of the building
that it kept me busy trying to see
ing on.
Parker is very fortunate in that
highly efficient teaching is being
done in both primary and advanced
departments. The children have form
ed good habits of work and the spirit
of cooperation in both work and play
is excellent. The beginning in play
apparatus on the school grounds is to
be compounded.
First year High School work is
now being done in the school This
is a step in the right direction. The
children of the community should
have an opportunity to complete a
High School course at home just as
soon as they are ready for it,
cat present there are close to sixty
children enrolled in the Parker
schools. They are working hard to
keep up an average attendance close
to fifty in order that the school may
receive a good part out of the reserve
| fund which is apportioned after all
the schools of the county have been
in session five months. Parker is in
| line for some of this money. If
Parker keeps up it's growth and pros
perity three teachers will be neces-
sary for next year.
GA movement is on foot to organ
| ize a School Improvement League or
Parent-Teacher Association on Ar
Dor Day. Such organizations are al
ready organized in Yuma valley These
organizations discuss problems con-
cerning the welfare and the future of
schools"

SENATOR cULLoM DYING.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Former
United States Senator Shelby M. Cul-
lom of Illinois, one of the few states
men of the old school and almost the
only connecting link between the
present and the days of Lincoln, of
whom he was a personal friend and
political associate, is dying at his
home in Washington. Because of
his advanced age and his enfeebled
condition his death is momentarily
expected.

tremendous live bear. Nobody could
figure out why this live bear should
be there. Speech after speech was
made. and joke after joke was
sprung. But nobody referred to the
large and ferocious animal. AT lats
the toastmaster arose and made these
few remarks:
