ANNUAL REPORT OF STATE
SCHOOL Inspector
There are 273 Consolidate SehseI In
the State -48 ouf 0 so
Counties Represented

The third annual report of
the state inspector of cOnsoli-
dated, graded and rural schools
has just been published and
copy received at this office.
The report shows that the
greatest growth has been along
the line of consolidation. The
tables show that there are now
273 consolidated schools, 1O3 of
this number being in the open
country. This is an increase
of SO in the past year-the
greatest increase in the history
of the state. There are 4S of
the. 80 counties represented.
The northern counties still
lead; Cavalier and Towner
counties tie for first place with
! Is each. Ramsey is second
] with IL. and McHenry third
with 13. Inspector Mcdonald
points out that the state aid
in connection with the activity
and cooperation of the press
and several public spirited per
sons has been the cause of this
desirable result.
The report states that the
poor attendance of country
children still continues to be a
most serious matter. Although
some improvement over year
ago is shown, yet it is describ-
ed as being appalling. The
change from the nominal to
the actual per cent basis and
the requiring of the attendance
of all pupils between the ages
Of eight and fifteen inclusive.
unless legally excused, in
schools classifying for state aid
have improved the attendance
in all schools, particularly in
those applying for state aid.
Because of this poor attendance
in connection with poorly
qualitied teachers only ten per
Of the children who enter the
first grade, ever complete the
eighth grade; the country boys
falling as low as seven per cent.
Recommendations are given
which have special reference to
the state aid law with a view
of realizing more fully the pur.
pose of this law. These in sub
stance are: A minimum term
of nine months for all schools
classifying for state aid, a full
compliance with the compuls-
ory attendance law, teachers
to be normal school graduates
or the equivalent in schools
applying for state aid. the state
aid to consolidated schools to
be increased and their organi-
zation to be made easier. addi-
tional assistance to be furnish
ed the inspector, the power of
the state board of education to
be increased and it's oreaniza-
ton to be modified, county
boards of education to be pro-
vided for, and the qualifications
and tenures of the state super
intendent and the county sup
erintendents to be increased
and these officers to be selected
! by board of education.

STUDENTS LEARN HOW
 TO TREAT SNAKE BITE
Greatest Danger Is In Permitting Inactivity, Says Dr. Stroud at
 High School

The serious and often fatal effect of becoming inactive after having bitten by a poisonous snake or other reptile or insect was impressed upon the students of the two physiology classes of the Phoenix high school yesterday afternoon by Dr. R. J. Stroud, who delivered the second of q series of three lectures on First Aid to the Injured"
 Persons who have been bitten, aft CT taking the first steps in attending to the bite, should be kept in a state of activity, said pr. Stroud, "even if it takes a whip to keep them moving
 The proper first aid steps in the case of a poisonous bite is to cut open the bite first, suck out as much poisonous matter as possible and then cauterize the wound with some hot substance. After that, the chief duty is to keep the patient from becoming drowsy.

HARD ON THE PLANTERS

The Southwestern Sugar company are considerably the loser this morn ing as a result of ide-tracking four large cars of sugar cane here for the purpose of planting The cars were left in the vicinity of the Pet CTS warehouse, with the intention no doubt of being immediately unloaded and planted on the school section west of town, which the company has leased. However, before anything could be done the small children of Tempe, Mexicans and Americans, got on the track of the sugar cane, with very disastrous results. The de- ,struction became so great that about two o'clock an officer was called but by the time school was dismissed they were almost uncomfortable. At the time of writing the merry feast was in full sway and from all indica- tions the railroad company will be lucky to recover their cars undam- aged

PIONEER RESIDENT DEAD

At 2:3S yesterday afternoon Grim Death claimed one of Tempes oldest and most beloved citizens in the per son of Mrs w T. Cummings. Her condition had been alarming for sev- eral days and the end was not un- expected The cause of death was principally old age and the natural decline that accompanies it.
 The deceased had been a resident of Tempe for little over thirty six years, coming here with her hus- band from Missouri when the Salt River Valley was in it's infancy. She is the mother of a large family, all with the exception of two, born and raised here, and seven were at her bedside when death claimed her. Three daughters, Mrs. Ben Pearman, Mrs. Carl Kellner and Mrs F. M Bailey, the first two residing in Cali fornia, the latter in the northern part of the state, were not present at the bedside, but are en route.
 Besides the three daughters men toned, the deceased is survived by four other daughters, Mrs. Alma Cummings, Mrs. J. F. Warner, Mrs. J. MiTigart and Mrs. c. o. Smith; three sons, Edwin, John and Davis, and husband W. T. Cummings, as well as a number of grandchildren.
 The funeral. under the direction of Moore and Wickliffe, will be held at the home of the deceased this after noon n'rlocl<

MAY CLOSE STORES

There is a movement on foot among the local baseball fans to have all business suspended this afternoon in order that they may journey to Mesa to witness the game between the Gems and the White Sox This agi- tation arose yesterday afternoon and it was suggested that a petition be circulated, but that was not possible last evening. The developments up to date are that a petition may ap- pear this morning and that the local fans may be granted an afternoon off to witness some real big league stuff.
 It is the general opinion that Tempe should support Mesa in her attempt to give the local people a chance to witness real baseball and that all who find it possible should attend. The game will be a good one, and those attending will be amply repaid for the price of their ad- mittance

BIG CONTEST ON IN
 TEMPE CITY PRIMARY
Citizens Party Has Candidates for Nomination at Primary Election
 Arril 24th.

In preparation for the approaching city primary election the Citizens party have assembled and chosen their ticket The choice of the party is as follows: For councilmen-J. T. Birchett, w. G. DeVore, w. N. Windes, George M. Frizzeu and J. L. Felton; for town clerk, Howard Brown and L. E. Pafford, and for marshal, Charles B. Turner. With this array of men before the people, it appears that the party will be- wound a doubt, not only be success ful in the primary, but also stand a good chance to carry the final cleo tion.
 Although the citizens have chosen their ticket, it does not mean that there will be no other candidates within the city. It is rumored that Thomas Goodwin, already a council man with an excellent record and long tenure of office, will be in the field and his chances are most eX- cellent. MT. Goodwin is a strong competitor because of the good ser
 
 M c. Browning, the present city marshal, will also likely be a candi- date for renomination and will be a strong man. Other candidates will likely apepar soon, one for town clerk and possibly another council man or so. As yet the party known as the peoples party has not pre- jet of | is not a certainty that they will However, there will be plenty of good live competition.
 H. w. Miller and Frank Fogal, the retiring councilmen, will not be can didates for renomination, according to the latest reports. These two men have been members of the council foI several years, MT. Fogal being one oi the oldest of the city fathers. Curt w. Miller, at present city clerk, owing to a pressure of duties will not consider a renomination fol his position. MT. Miller for severa years has presided in this officia | capacity, but now is resolved to re- 1 tire.
 The date of the primary election is set as April "A, 1914. The final cleo tion is to be held on May 25, 1914 band at that time the candidate! chosen on April 24th will be balloteC | upon.
 Several of the candidates fo nomination are already busy and ar, boosting. L. F. Pafford, candidat, for town clerk, has already circu lated and filed his nomination peti tion, and c. B.
