TRAMP STEAMERS
 hRE GOLD BRICKS
(By Review Leased Wire.

LONDON, June 2-"Ship owners
 are like farmers. they never admit that they make money" says a cor respondent of the Economist" and gives instances of the huge amounts derived from losses paid by the War Risks Office. 'I came across a typi- cal example during the war loan cam paign. A firm owning tramp steam CTS appeared as a subscriber of over
 &700000 to the war loan. I asked how they came to possess so much loose money; the explanation given was that three steamers had been torpedoed. Further inquiries reveal ed the startling fact that three steam CTS worth about 99 per ton before the war had been insured at the inflated war values of $40 per ton at the then government rate of two guineas per cent, and had been sent to the bot tom. Hence what the market calls a very profitable sale and G700,000 in war loan stock"

 Secretary of the Navy. Thousands of these woolen gar ments are being made today through out the country. The women of each state usually supply articles for the battleship or cruiser bearing the name of their state. and in other cases for the men of the ship named after their city, or for destroyers whose name has some historical or sentimental connection with the place. Many naval officers have written i'd the Navy League expressing their ap- preciation for this work undertaken for the men of the Navy. In war time. when men write from the fleet their names and the names of the ships arc not made public For that rec son the names of the officers who wrote an endorsement of the Leagues work are necessarily withheld One of item wrote:

That the Bisbee High School has been accredited membership in The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is a matter for reorganization and civic pride. Just what this membership means can be realized only by acquaintance with the principles, ideals and standards of the association.
 The association is beyond all doubt the most generally recognized stand ardizing educational agency in the en- tire United States. Its prestige is that of first rank.
 Among the many aims of this. asso- citation. of colleges and secondard schools are those of providing cooper ation of considering common prob lens, of promoting the well-being of students and higher standards of scholarship and teaching force.
 Honor For School.
 It is a distinct honor for any school to hold relationship with this body. The associations official recognition SifcS RfcSllSt lO cIAiOOA on4Oh6 t0A- cated men and women everywhere. Its approval is a letter of introduction to all colleges universities. and profes- sional schools in the land, and guar antees efficiency and high standing to these institutions. Accredited rela- tions with the association bring to secondary school the same distinction and honor of an institution that mem bership in Phi Beta Kappa or Sigma Xxi confers upon an individual or that high rating by Bradstreet or Dunn brings to firm in business. More over, membership in the association | aids boards of education to secure bet ter prepared teachers, to erect bar riers against untrained teachers, and in general to raise higher educational standards

and received her masters degree
 That a high standard of work has been maintained by Bisbee High is shown in part by the recognition given to its graduates who have entered var. ious colleges and universities. Among the universities which have accepted graduates upon their credentials ana without entrance examinations are the following: Michigan, Minnesota, Wis consin, Chicago, Northwestern, Pen nsylvania, Purdue, Western Reserve, Illinois, Kansas, Oregon, California and Arizona Some of the colleges are: Columbia Teachers College, Mil waukee-Downer, Knox and Pomona Many of the graduates of Bisbee High have graduated from the normal schools of Arizona and of the other states. The percentage of graduates who have entered upon higher school work is comparatively large.
 Variety of Courses.
 The unusual variety of choice and election in the groups of courses in Bisbee High affords opportunities els dom found except in schools which are much larger. The surricula fall into five general groups: CD General, (2} Liberal Arts Preparatory, (3) Engin- eering Preparatory, (D Manual Train ing. (5) Domestic and Art and (5) Business Groups ? and prepare more directly for college than any other groups, altho each surriculum is so flexible that it may be made college preparatory by proper guidance.
 Division of the school work into junior and senior high schools should eventually raise the standards already attained and give to Bisbee a systemI of specialized trainings for adolescents and youths Such differentiation may very properly make for greater eff ciency and for more reasonable pre- paration for college or for life
