because some of our teachers taught
more than six periods, and because OF
the shortness of our recitation periods.
"By this schedule we begin work at
$50. Pupils not on recitation the
first period will not be required to be
present till $40, AS far as can be
done pupils that recite the first period
in the morning will be excused the
last period in the afternoon. 1T forces
two dinner periods; one from 1850 to
1880; the other from 12:40 to lao.
This ought not to cause much confus-
ion as the old time of dismissal was

just 20 mintes earlier, while those
who leave at 12:40 are only so min
utes later. School will close at ago
lust 10 minutes later than formerly.
"By this method IA teachers have
each put in one hour and twenty min
utes extra time. This may be better
understood if we put it this way; The
pupils get 2-3 hours more each
school dav: 80 1-3 hours each week;
373 Is hours each month; $500 hours

"lf the purpose of the recitation was
simply to test knowledge and develop

lone of the chier missions OF tho
teacher is to teach the pupil how TO
study. If a child goes through school
without acquiring this knowledge, he
has got very little from his school

when they come to the high school,
aud many leave without having learn
ed If b. lengthening the recitation
period this can be aided to any great
extent, it will be we'll worth the eff

The Wheat Slump

The slump in wheat for which the entrance of Rumana into the is made the pretext. is the work of manipuators It is absurd to suppose the wheat gamblers declare that the action of Rumania affords outlet to the three years accumulation of Russian wheat. It is true that if that wheat released European market for wheat would be lost for long time. There is probably enough wheat stored along the shores of the Black Sea and else where in Southern Russia. to supply all Europe for the next two three years, and we might assume that it would become the exclusive of supply for Great Britain, France Italy and all of Europe We might concede that not bushel of American wheat would cross the Atlantic
 But the mere participation of Rumania in the does not bring Russian wheat mile to an outlet than it before In order to reach seaport it must be brought across Bulgaria to the Aegean Serbia and Albania destitute of railways and swarming with Teutonic troops Russian wheat is not apparently outlet as it a year and a half ago in the midst of the Galpoli campaign, when the forcing of the Dardanelles threatened
 If it may be conceded that the Rumanan entry is a turning point from which the allies will go to vic tory still the road is long and much wheat will be consumed before the eastern allies will win their way to the sea.

WIFE WANTS $1a,ooo A YEAR

Declaring she is under an annual expense of $12000 for her maintenance and the support and cation of their four children Mrs Nellie J. C. Carpen ter has instituted proceedings against her husband, Samuel Emlen Carpenter, to attach his trust estate to insure sufficient allowance each year for the needs of herself and children.
 The Carpenters married June Is, 1S97 and have been separated since August, 1914.
 On March l. 1914. it is stated MT Carpenter went to his mothers home in Richfied and his wife went to Philadelphia. In June of the year Mrs. Car penter went to Bay Head N J.. where MT. Carpenter was sojourning for month. The couple separated there and in the autumn of 1914 Mrs. Carpenter turned to Philadelphia and her husband went to Rich- field
 In her petition Mrs Carpenter declared that her husband has never supported and maintained her and the children and that their separation was due to fault of the petitioner. Mrs Carpenter ayers that her husband is financially able to provide suitable support for herself and to maintain and educate the children.-Phiadelphia Bulletin.

ment, and four years of manual train ing. Six elective subjects needed to make the sixteen credits necessary for graduation may be chosen, under proper advisement, from any of the other subjects offered by the high school. The shop work of this course will consist of half day periods given two and three times a week altern- ately.
 The first year will be devoted largely to the care and repair of farm tools, implements and machinery, and to farm shop work and carpentry, which shall conform to the practical needs of farm life.
 The second year will take up the de- signing, construction and building of fences, bridges. gates and headgates; the designing and building of out buildings, sheds and barns The study and care of gas engines, pumps and automobiles shall also be added this year. Concrete work will be given also.
 The third year will be devoted to elementary work in forging, consist ing of the mending of farm imple- ments and horse e-shoeing. More com plicated work on machinery will be given, and if possible the simpler phases of electrical work
 The fourth year is designed to take up such kinds of work as there may be demand for; to introduce plumbing, to continue the machine study and re- pairs, to develop study and practice in cement building, and to allow the stu dents who have advanced this far in the work to specialize in that phase of It which they may seem most likely to follow for a livelihood.
 Whenever necessary the work shall be accompanied by instruction in me chanical drawing.
 Revised Home Economies
 In introducing this course Tn the high school, the idea has been upper most in mind to extend the work al- ready being done in three years through the entire four years, and make it permanent course. It's aim is to develop efficiency in those activ- ities connected with the care, comfor, and upkeep of the home It is de- signed to give students a practical and a scientific knowledge of foods 1 their composition and nutritive values and the proper methods of cooking and serving them. It teaches technical ! skill in designing and making articles of dress and millinery, in simplicity and appropriateness of costumes, and | in true economy of buying. The course will ultimately be developed to include valuable phases of home decoration nursing the sick and preparing suit able foods for them. and the nor, | practical conditions of hygiene ant | sanitation in the homes.
 The prescribed work of this course 1 follows closely that of the manua

Salt River Valley Farmers

The farmers of the Salt River Valley will have nothing to complain of in the prospec, before them It is long ago that we believed that the price of land was too high here be devoted to alfalfa raising But the price of alfalfa to say nothing of will be fall and winter is such that alfalfa can be grown profit aii sands except those adjacent to Phoenix.
 It is true that other crops produced by intensive farming will be more profitable when reliable market for them has been established and we confi- dently believe that that will accomplished before long,
 Long staple cotton growing has already been proved to be profitable. It has already passed the experimental stage. The only drawback that ever menaced it was the doubt whether enough of it could be raised to demand for 1t by the great mills in the east Mill owners admitted it's excellence but they feared it could secured in such quantities as warrant them in making such adjustments of their machinery would be necessary TOT it's con- sumption The yield of the 4o00 acre. now planted to long staple cotton in this valley and the assurance by the bureau plant industry of the cepartment Of agriculture that 10000 in the valley may be devoted to cotton, will go a long Way toward the removal of that doubt.
 Another market for this cotton has been opened. company of well known automobile tire manufac- turers is encouraging plant more long
 
 cred at valley points. The company we are informed Is offering o enter into long term contracts.
 The realization that the Salt River Valley is one of the feeding grounds in the world has resulted in the taking year leases by cattlemen and sheep men, of lands more remote from the ,arger towns These alfalfa lands and even lands overgrown with Johnson grass being eagerly taken.
 It said that it is almost impossible to find
 farm for in the valley and it Is almost as diff cult to find small tract of from twenty to forty acres sale One reported recently that after a tour of several days in automobile over the valley north of the river the best he could do take forty tract with no improvements not even well at s125 acre. It is about twelve miles Phoenix. Only ten of the tract had been planted to alfalfa. The tract is .ac.osed only by a two-wire fence without fences.
 Thus, 1t appears, after two three dragging the farmers have topped the long grade and will have easy going.

Supplemental Prohibition Legislation

Early in the campaign it did not appear possible any supplemental prohibition legislation It hardly seemed probable that such degree of enthusi asm could be aroused which carried the amendment through two years ago. As matter of fact there is not and will be- such popular enthusiasm, but there is great deal quiet thinking.
 The campaign two years ago rather a hurrah" affair in which sentiment played the larger part. It directed mainly against the evil of the saloon. The business end of the controversy given minor consideration by the advocates of prohi bition Business men, rule, believed that prohi- bition would not be good thing for the state Many were openly against it and many were apathetic
 The situation is quite different now. Practically every large corporation in the state IS lending sub stantial encouragement to the tempela.ce workers. The head of Phoenix enterprise whose business would be greatly benefited under a regime and who two years ago workers against prohi- biton is a contributor to the temperance workers fund. The moral issue in this controversy has to be an issue That is matter already disposed of There is though rather onesided moral question involved-the right of opportunity of the bootleg to do business in this state But the opponents of prohibition refrain from discussing that.

The laruer Issue

much bigger issue than the impeding railway strike confronts the country. It is not but it has before been clearly drawn It is the matter of the prevention of strikes which affect the public disastrously. In a statement Tuesday w G. Lee, head of of the railway brotherhoods said: Since the abolition of slavery effect ual has been devised for nsurng the bondage of the working than the passage of the compul- sorry investigation of the character of the Cana dian industrial disputes act"
 This is a clear cut objection to the principle of arbitration which be settled way another. There be either arbitration arbi- tration All the foong with this subject all the pre- tense in which congresses past and present. have engaged is laid bare We have arbitration except in controversies whose results doubtful that both parties unwilling to risk fight. When either believes win by force. it will not consent to arbitration.
 few years ago the railway companies resisted just bitterly MT does now, the governments attempt regulate their affairs. They held that their property private property to do with they pleased The government held that their man agement their private property matter of public concern It proceeded then to regulate the managements fixed rates it established accounting systems prescribed certain things for the railways do with their property and prescribed other things that could be done For the failure to do the things ordered to be done, the railways could plead only acts of Cod the of strikers and accidents The railways had become quasi-publc service more severely regulated than the public service.
 Acts of God and accidents cannot be provided against by the railroads the government, but the frequent Arrangement of this quasi public vice can be provided against by an application of regulations the employe well to the employer It is recognized that only side of the railroad business is being regulated Until the other side is brought under the authority the regulation will not be complete and the most likely of loss and inconvenience to the public will remain.
 As the railways perform quasi-pubic service,
 service in fact which brings them into closer ton to the public than public service, every pre- caution should be against interference with it. Every connected with the service from railroad president brakeman should be held responsible to the government for any which may interfere with the service.
 Not only would such arrangement protect the public for which all regulation of the railways is

R. A. WOODS STATEMENT

MT. K. A. Woods, of Chandler phoned in to The Republican corre- spondent what he claims is a true ver- sion of the accident which occurred Sunday night on the Tempe road when the Martinez child was run over and seriously injured by an auto. The Republican Monday morning stated that MT Woods was driving the car which struck the child. He denies this and says that a machine filled with negroes was just in front of him and their car hit the lad. Both cars stop ped and an officer came and took all names. Then the two cars returned to Phoenix. the other machine carry ing the child and his mother, while Woods took a negro man and wife in his car Arriving at the hospital MT. Woods stayed for some time and it is supposed that in some way the names were mixed. While he is aware that the paper stated no blame could at tach to anyone, still he asks that the above statement be made
