half the cost that any other plan would -euuire.
 We find that the children are well fed: their clothing is properly taken care of and they have all the com forts and conveniences they need, and such luXulies as are consistent with the maintenance of a school of tfis character. Care is taken of the sanitary condition, and we have had mo sickness in the school, other or different from that which ordin- arily would arise under the best of circumstances
 In justice to the children and to the university, we do not feel that this school should be maintained at the university. but so long as the law requires it to be done, we will in the future, as We have in the past, give as much attention to our duties to the school for the deaf, as We do to the university proper. President Wilde's report deals exten- sively with this subject. We have, and do. carefully consider their wants
 
 attention or lack of care given to these children in this school, would quickly be called to our attention. We believe that the teachers in charge of the school for the deaf, deserve great credit instead of cen sure, for the way in which they are performing their duties.
 While we deplore the recklessness with which the statements and charges we have been considering have been made. We will not allow their unreliability to lessen our in terest in any charge or complaint made te us We would be glad at any time to answer, from our know ledge, any inquiries or complaints, and if we have not the knowledge tc make an investigation to enable us to make such answer or, when need ed, to rectify any wrongs or acts of mismanagement.

: principally because of the tempera- mental unfitness of those whose ser ! vices were dispensed with, and be-
 cause We believed that the system then taught at the school should be supplanted by the system known as the oral system. We have had no : reason to believe that we made a mistake in making these changes of instructors Attached to President Wildes report is a copy of the Deaf Mutes Journal, published at New York on the 22nd day of Janu- ary, 1914. An article in this paper published over the name of this male teacher confirms us in our conclu sion that he does not possess the qualifications required for an in
 structor at the school for the deaf.
 Our Investigations of the school for the deaf required our taking considerably testimony. We found that the school is composed of chil dren of all ages, and of both sexes. That their mental development often is not commensurate with their ages. 1 That many problems are involved in

 We found that Ray Brinkley was youth about 19 years of age, large and powerful for his age. unruly. de- structive of property and insubor Ginate. The influence of his actions upon the other scholars was very had. He was told to leave the school He went away; his things were packed for him, and placed on 1 the porch by the cottage door. in- side the yard enclosure, for his con venience in taking them away that evening. He was not subjected 10 any abuse or ill treatment. nor were his belongings thrown out. or handled in any careless or destructive way.
 We find that full and proper con sideration was given to each student who was requested to leave this school. and his or her particular case was properly and fairly considered i before action taken We find that a special effort was made by at least one of those instructors whose ser vice was dispensed with. to disrupt the school and bring it's manage ment into disrepute. We further find that these efforts were not success tul. That there are now in atten- canoe in the school thirteen pupils. and. at a meeting held by the par ents of a majority of these children, the action of President Wilde and ! ourselves in matters affecting the school. are upheld and approved. This meeting was unsolicited upon our | part, and the first intimation we had or it. or the action taken, was that i published in the newspapers. Up to about ten days ago, there were but ! two instructors. Miss Bateman and
 Miss Jones. We found that. owing to the necessities of these children | these teachers were kept constantly i at work from early morning till late at night, and, believing it to be our duty, we have employed an additional teacher for these children.

Fl Wilde Senator Worsley of Pima voiced them in a statement to weekly paper. As a result, demand for an investigation became insistent and the regents appointed q commit tee to sift things to the bottom.
 The committee did as requested, and after it was all completed, re- port was rendered to the board and after a thorough discussion was adopted by the regents. This report was brought to Phoenix some time ago by Dr. Wilde and delivered tu the governor, and is now released for publication.

 Attached to President Wilde's re- port is an analysis of these figures. woithy the study of anyone who may have taken seriously the charge of high per capita expense at the uni versity. The above figures can be ; verified by anyone. We think that they clearly show the recklessness with which these statements were made and their absurdity. Never theless, the per capita cost at the university is high, inevitably high. but as President Wilde says. there are only two ways to lower it: One, to reduce the efficiency of the uni ve:sty; the other, to increase the number of students. We are trying the second method. The quality of instruction at the university is our first conceln. We can neither af- ford luxury nor laXity. We must either furnish the necessities for d substantial university education, or abolish the university. It would be a waste of time and money to sup port university incapable of giving
 
 of maintaining that standard of edu- cation set by our public school laws. FOURTH:
 It has been stated that some of our professors are oveIworked, and some do little or no work. The facts are, some of them are probably over worked, but so far as we can ascer- tain, this is the result of their own zeal and interest in the university. None, so far as we can find, are underWorked The tabulated state ment attached to President Wilde's report, shows that the hours of work of each equals the average of that in other state schools. As a board, we must depend largely upon the statements of others to verify this tabulated statement, but individuals on the board have as a matter of routine. had the matter under con sideration and examination for a number of months, and Dr. Wilde, at the request of the board presented this tabulated statement before we ever heard of any charge or state- ments bearing on the subject
 FIFTH:

 universities. An apt illustration is : given by the chart attached to Pres f. ident Wilde's report, cut from the l published report of the University oi Illinois.

Tucson, Ariz., March IA. 1914 Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona.

Governor of Arizona,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Sir:
 Statements in the nature of charg- es reflecting upon the management of the University of Arizona have. from time to time. appeared in the newspapers of this state. The un- reliability of these statements is ap- parent to many, but to others they may seem serious, more especially as most of them emanated from a man holding the responsible office of state senator from this county. In consequence we felt it our duty not to rest satisfied with our own know ledge of the matters that were the subjects of these statements, but to make a thorough personal eXamina- ton of the so-called charges, and re- port our findings to you, with the request that you give them the full . est publicity.
 We requested President Wilde to make to us full report in these matters and accompany it with such reference to documents and matters of records at the university, as would enable anyone desiring, to verify the statements contained in President Wilde's report.
 We transmit you herewith Presi- cent Wilde's report with such docu- mepts and references as he has at tached to the same and request that you so dispose of it that every citi- zen desiring to do so, may have ample opportunity to read and eX- anime it.
 Our personal findings, we believe cover the gist of everyone of these statements brought to our attention Our findings are as follows:
 FIRST:
 President Wilde did not deceive or attempt to deceive, the legislature relating to the number of students a the university, or in any other man ner. He furnished charts. data O different kinds. an annual printed oatalog of the university, and larg' amount of other information to thu members of the legislature cOverin' not only the student membership bu all other matters bearing upon thu needs of the university. These charts data and catalogs show in detail thu exact number of students attendin: the university. the number taking thu short course, and the number takins

For the real definition he recalled tho

ness, his self-ahnegation. his humility

The old saying that bachelor is of

true in every instance. The writer
does not believe in old sayings, for he
knows that Greenwood township has a
couple who are worthy of considerable
praise They are Thos. McMullen and
Willie Rath jr. These two young men
proposed TO start a gravel road to Yale
and called upon their friends in Green
wood and Brockway to assist in build
ing said road and every one to a man
turned out and helped the good work
along. Both Mack and Bill are fine
young fellows and with the help of
their many friends, built one-half mile
of road by hauling $50 loads of gravel
in three days June 3, 4 and .. That's
going some.
The boys feel very grateful to their
friends for turning out and helping,
but especially to Bruce, the clothing
house man, for his aid.
Another bee will be held June 18th
when the road will be extended on
farther. Lets all be on hand and ready
to put our shoulder to the wheel when
called upon and don't forget our Bob
