Much Neglected Subject
 Good Clear English Address of Chairman Ely of Phoenix School Board at Roosevelt School Commencement

may believe you have already heard
 enough But I was glad to accept
 the invitation of your superintendent
 to join you in this celebration-glad
 because l have a liking for all boys
 and girls and am always ready with
 excuses for their shortcomings; and
 because 1 have a warm regard for
 their welfare and am happy to know
 of their success, and because 1 have always held a deep interest in the public schools
 Doubtless my solicitude for the well l fare of school children and my anM-
 ous desire that they shall have the | best of opportunities to acuire ade- l quate education have been accentu- ated by memory of the obstacles which l myself had to encounter ir i my school days.

The address at the graduating ex- ercises of the Roosevelt school on the South Side last Wednesday night was delivered by Chairman Sims Ely of the Phoenix school board. It was an instructive and scholarly address in which special stress was laid upon the importance of that neglected study-English.
 MT Ely said:
 It has always seemed to me that the beginning of a school year, and not it's close, is the more acceptable time for children to hear a serious talk about their work in school and the purpose for which they go to school When children are celebrat- ing their arrival at the end of a school term, and especially such a happy occasion as the end of study in the grammar school, they are not in a mood to give much attention to what may be said to them in thought ful consideration of the job of getting an education. And I am not here this evening to say anything to make you less happy or to give you any suited talk about things of which yo

serves better to emphasize to me the difference between the conditions which prevailed in the west only few years ago, and the advancement which Arizona has made on educa- tional lines, than to consider the con- trast between the prairie schools Of Kansas, say, of twenty-five years age and such a splendid school as this Roosevelt school of today. Truly, you children are to be congratulated. And if I am able to say anything this evening to encourage you to pursue your studies, both during your school days and afterward, the time you are allotting to me will be profitable for all of us You are not yet old enough, perhaps, to appreciate very fully why all this drudgery of study is and has been necessary. But you are old enough to understand some of the duties of life. One of these obligations is to so fit ourselves in knowledge and training that We may do our share of good in the world. It is a duty of each of us to become a useful member of society, thus
 
 happiness and to be successful our selves, and thereby avoid being drag or { burden. As you grow older you will better understand how it is and why it is that the unselfish per son is the only really happy person and that in equipping ourselves to be useful and to make others happy we have hit upon the only sure way to arrive at happiness for ourselves. And unless We have at least a con- siderable education we shall fall far short of that measure of usefulness and hapiness which we should attain. | I don't know how many of those graduating from this school now will go to\ the high school. It is to be
 hoped that all can go. But to those of you who may not be able to go
 ahead with your studies in the high
 school. I wish to say that the door to
 further learning is not closed. It has
 only been opened for you. One of
 the purposes in sending you to school
 has been to create and stimulate in
 you the desire for study. Another
 purpose has been to enable you to
 acquire mental discipline and to teach you to think. And if these purposes
 have been measurably accomplished
 you will steadily proceed with your
 education throughout your life.
 The course of study which has beer
 provided for you is designed to enable
 you to lay solid foundation for req education. No doubt you have found in one or more of your studies { dreary grind; for it is not easy t' , take an interest in every book of thu , course. You have been saying tC
 each other that you are glad you arr : through with that horrid old gram mar" or, that dog-bitten old aritk 9 metic;" or. that stupid history" O that dull geography" But later ol : you will hold in the deepest regar S those of your teachers who have com n pelled you to absorb what you coul l from these books; for every day O y your life, as you grow older, you vii = find that you have a greater use fo n knowledge Of these elementary sub l jects.
 n And to those who graduate now, a e well as to the children who hay T yet to complete their studies in thi g school, let me say that highly i'm

APRICOT Growers Hit Hard.

Sacramento, Feb. 16.-How the Eu-
ropean war is seriously interfering
with the California dried apricot mar
ket is explained by Robert E. Harring-
ton of Simi, in an article written for
the State Department of Horticulture.
Europe used to take about three
fourths of the dried apricots produced
in California;. says Harrington, "and
Germany was the heaviest buyer.
Even if the war should soon end it
would be many years before Europe
could take many dried apricots, for
they are costly to produce and neces-
sarily sell for a higher price than
other food products, and the warning
nations will be very poor for long
time.
"Most of the dried apricots were
sold this season at less than the cost
of production. This is a very serious
condition of affairs, especially when
one considers the condition of the for
eign market, the rapid increase in
production and the fact that almost
no attempt is being made to increase
the consumption of apricots in the
United States.

Carranza Losing Grip
Is Report At t land

In it he answered attacks upon his
policy; admitted the present Mexican
government is military rather than
constitutional, but counseled continu-
ance of the present course as the best
for the time being. At the same time,
he prophesied the establishment of a
constitutional government which will
supplant the present conditions.
Between 1913 and 1915, inclusive,
76 Americans were killed in Mexico,
as compared with AZ in the previous
3 years, during which time there was
"less domestic strife in Mexico"
Twenty American civilians and 16 sol
diers were killed by Mexicans ON
American soil during 1913 to 1915, in
elusive.
The president explained he had rec
ognized Carranza in preference to
Villa because the regime of the latter
seemed to be degenerating while the
Carranzistas had undisputed posses
sion Of three quarters of Mexico.
Carranza the report added, now con-
trolls all but very few sections OF
the always bandit-infested country.
He is doing extremely well under the
circumstances in protecting Americans,
the president held. The chief execu-
tive admitted that there are many
bandits who cannot be suppressed i'm
mediately and that sporadic outrages
may be expected for some time.
"Reasonable adequate protection is
being afforded, however" said the
message. The president declined to
make public papers bearing on inter-
national political conditions in Mex
leo, as he held this would be incOm-
patible with the public interest. The
Senate ordered the report printed as
a public document. In form it is SIM
ply the presidents letter transmitting
the report of Secretary of State Lam
sing, answering Senator Falls queS-
tions and also giving various docu-
ments and reports already made pub
lie. The public, he said, approved
Lansing's findings.

Washington, Feb. 18.-With cumu-
lative evidence for several days in
dicating that all is not well south OF
the Rio Grande, the war department
today sent to General Funston, border
commander, unofficial information
about plans for new Mexican up
rising, alleged to be maturing in the
United States.
The department information, con-
tanned in private letters, declared that
the conspiracy had reached definite
stage. This word, forwarded for what
it might be worth was not regarded
as entirely improbable Taken with
reports to the state department that
the new Carranza regime is tottering,
the information, ii is thought, may
mean that plotters within this coun-
try are planning a coup.
Well informed persons culled re-
ports this week of a plot to blow up
the hattleship Kentucky at Vera Cruz
and thus embroil the United States in
war. Whether there is any connec-
ton between the two alleged plots is
not known. While the death of Gen
eral Huerta removed the backbone of
an alleged uprising conspiracy, justice
department agents have not failed to
keep their eyes on other men, who,
with the eX-dictator, might be inter-
ested in overthrowing the present
Mexican regime.
According to information, munitions
to further the uprising have already
been smuggled across the border into
Mexico, while the conspirators expect
to slip across in small parties from
a number of points.
Los Angeles, Ell Paso, San Antonio
and New Orleans are said to be the
principal points of rendezvous of the
plotters, who include many cientificos
and few Villistas.
Replying to the Fall resolution ask
ing facts surrounding the recognition
of General Carranza's de facto MeXi-
can government, President Wilson
sent to the Senate the desired report
