Women and the Schools

It is claimed by that woman who will accept a place on a school board is likely to be a more active member than a That is reason ably true Women who make study of educa- tional matters take a intense interest in them than men ordinarily do They have more time, or take more time to devote to them than men. Our school boards usually composed of men active Iy engaged business of the professions so That the time they give to their school board duties Is generally taken the odds and ends of hours
 The board work a who is really in terested in it becomes her chief work and much of her time as may be necessary devoted 10 it. Ii is recognition of this fact that many women are elected to school boards in states where they are not eligible O any other office.
 It is for this among other reasons, that the friends of Mrs E. H. Abbot urging her election to the high school board which her general in terest in school work and her personal interest in the Phoenix high school especially qualify her,
 This view of the candidacy of Mrs. Abbot is that of only the women of Phoenix who are in terested in the schools and who regard her their personal representative, but it is the view believe, of men who desire that the admnisra ton of the school shall be in the most earnest and capable hands.

Traffic in Booze That Used to Cause About Eighty Per Cent of

Arizona's anti-liquor law may be leaving some loopholes for the or dinary bootleggers, but it is cer- tainly putting crimp on the age old and lucrative practice of selling booze to Indians. United States Attorney Tom Flynn says this. ont of a large fund of recent experience.
 In the calendar for the April term of the United States district court. cOnvenlng here April ], there is now just one Indian liquor case that had its beginning since January l. Last year about eighty per cent of the cases handled by the federal court were of this nature.
 One result of the effect of the prohibition amendment has had or the red slavery to- drink habit, has been to saw large section out of the work and responsibility of fed oral officers. The April cases amount to about ten now, and if the civil docket is light. the term vii last but ten days. There are nc cases of surpassing interest on the books.

SINGERS GIVE
 RARE DELIGHT
The Misses Fuller Charm With the Beauty and No- velty of Their Singing ill Recital at Woman's Club Last Night

Perhaps because no entertainment which has been given in Phoenix this season needed it less, the program giv- en at the Woman's club last evening began with an aroIogy and ended with q defence.
 | The Misses Dorothy, ROsalind and Cynthia Fuller of Sturminster Newton, Dorset England are artists of rare dis tnction and charm. Their singing is delightful and their program is a page from hygone ages that cannot help but be q joy to the most jaded and blase amusement seeker. The whole affair Was different, the accompaniment of the Irish harp. the songs, the stage business, the costumes, the lack of af- fectatiOE and nannerisms Were differ ent and the young women themselves were very. very different. Even the stage Of the Woman's club with it's most attractive plain green back drop
 and the old fashioned chairs which the committee of arrangements had res.r- rected for the occasion. looked differ
 ent welcomly different.
 There is q tenderness and charm. a
 whimsical humor, q sense of nicety and lthe eternal fitness of things in the
 work of these young women that was wholly captivating. They are not pri- ma donnas but their voices, singing and speaking. are delightful to listen to and
 their diction is something to marvel at in these times. From the moment they stepped onto the stage in quaint early Victorian costumes the audience loved
 1 them They asked no permission but
 took prompt and peremptory posses sion of everyone's heart and no one who
 Was to hear them is likely to forget i them.
 Tine songs they sang were of infinite variety, children's play songs, songs of love, fortunate and otherwise mothers songs. and songs of work and play and fun and fancy. There was no striving for effect, no grandiC6e efforts, no py rotechnics the simplicity of it all was remarkable and the effects quite won derful. Surely nobody who heard those sings last evening could ever accuse the
 English of lacking a sense of humor
 They were filled with the most delight | ful humor fun that lasts and will bring

 If some of the numbers brought tears to the eye, they were happy tears. through the mist of which one heard dear voices long silent and saw dear faces long hidden from our sight memories of hours that have gone and that nothing can ever replace, full of love and tenderness prompting the good that is in us and exerting a sOftening and Lettering influence all through life

 The Woman's club did not make any money in bringing these splendid arti0.s here, probably they lost money, but they know that there are much more desirable things than money in the world. They gave Phoenix the oppor- tunity to hear something that was worth while something that everybody who availed themselves of the oppor- tunity will never regret and will al ways cherish. It was worth while do- ing and they did it well. Phoenix owes them debt of gratitude.
