H EDUCATION WORTH
 ITS COST ID ARIZONA
interesting Question Is Discussed at
 Weekly X" Club Luncheon

At the weekly luncheon and meet ing of the 'X" club at the. Arizona Club last night the very interest ing question "Is Education Worth What It Costs in Arizona? 9" was dis . cusSed. There was a record attend ance of guests in addition to the regular members. Among them were educators of such prominence as pr Non KleinSmid of the University of Arizona, State Superintendent Case, Superintendent Loper of the city schools and Acting Secretary Jones of the high school
 The discussion was led by Profcs- sor George Judson of the Osborn school a member of the club All cluding Governor Hunt. took part in the discussion and among the Visi- tcrs were Bishop Atwood and Dr. von KleinSmid
 1 The form of the question was per haps a little misleading. The re- marks of all the speakers would have been more responsive if the question had been stated in this way. "Is the money spent for Education in Arizona. expended to the greatest adNantaEc2"
 There was no suggestion by any of the speakers that the money appro- lriatcd for the school should be re duccd but measures for greater eff ficiency were advocated even at a greater expense than at present. Among the suggestions. were more hours devoted to the school, the oc- cupation of the school building for q longer school year, say ten or eleven months and the elimination of the Saturday holiday which it was said was demoralizing rather than rec 'reativo or resting. There were diff fcrcnces of opinion as to the over tapping of the functions of the hi5l and normal schools and of both schools with the university This was a matter which pr. von Klein Smid said was slowly adjusting it self However. it vas not possible lat least advisable, that there should | be no overlapping.

 It will be pretty hard for the deputies O square any defense they may offer with the statement they made when they returned to Tucson, that they had killed tlie Lcons that they had shot to death while they trying to make their escape
 The situation dcpr,ies will be further embarrassed by the testimony of reputable citizens of Tucson and that vicinity that Leons were sood. law abiding citizens who ought have been suspected of participation in the criqes about Cireaterville.
 One lesson to be drawn from this affair is that too great care cannot be taken in the selection of peace officers who may be put into a position of power of life and death citizens A who supposes that makes him infallible and that he is the personfication of law and justice. has him material a peace officer.

CORBETT'S CHAMP
 IS A BLOOMER
GunbOat Smith Hammers Ton
 COWler From Pillar to Post

New York, July 2s,--Jim corbetf uncovered his pugilistic mystery, Tofi Cowler of England, before Gunboat Smith at St. Nicholas Rink last night. and Gunboat dispelled all the mystery that surrounded the new conner by giving him a sound beatins. Cowler was shifty enough to elude the Gun- ner's crashing right Knockout wailop. but he wasn't able to do much punch ing himself. smiths experience and superiority at infghting put Cowler at a decided disadvantage.
 One of the biggest crowds of the boxing season saw the encounter and most of the spectators rooted for Cor betts find" He didn't prove to be such a great find" after all. Cowier was crude, and lacked aggressiveness. but he was game enough to take all that the Gunboat had to give. Ik the third round the heads of the twoa numbering heavyweights crashed and opened cut over Ccwler's eye. This bled freely throughout the bout. and the English giant was handicapped by the flow.
 Cowler played to his corner too much. He had only one eye on Smith, while the other was glued oS Jim Corbett Cowler was showered with enough advice to win a dozen bouts. Not once did he take the aggressive. Smith carried the action to him all the time and beat him badly in the clinches. Smith was overanxious at the start and missed several right swings. There Was not knock down, as none of the blows of either boxer landed sofidly.
 Cowler's best chance came in the third round, when he rushed Smith to the ropes. where the Gunner was so confused that he left Himself ,rn- protected and Cowler was too startled or surprised to follow up the ops pcrtunity.
