By MISS ELSIE TolES County Superintendent of Schools

HE early reco-;1s of Cochise Conn. \ ty make no mention af schools for the simple reason that only the man. sized could survive Indians, bad men, and the hardships of frontier life So. when the less turbulent citizens of the then flourishing Tombstone camp es- tahlished the first school district of Cochise County, it sounded the knell of the passing of the frontier That was some forty years ago. and of all the amazing changes that have come since the early days of the county. nothing has surpassed the growth of our school system.
 Today Cochise has S5 school dis tricts, more than any other county in the state In the number of schools with its one hundred and fifty-one, it falls below Maricopa, with two hun dred and eighty-nine, but at the pres ent rate of progress the difference will be considerably lessened Of the twenty-three new school houses built in the state during the last school year eleven were in this county
 Growth is Rapid
 in fact, so rapid has been the growth

JOHN M. JOHNSON

With nothing now indicated to de ter the progress of the community ' said John NJ. Johnson. founder of the Johnson Addition, 'I look to see the whole district experience an era of unprecedented activity and develop ment."
 Coming to the district 2S years ago Mir Johnson spent Ii years with the Bisbee mining companies and acQuir- ed valuable mineral holdings. He still controls three hundred acres of Ore-bearing land and is president of the Henern Mining Company. The Johnson Addition placed on the mar ket by MT. Johnson comprised twelve acres of ground and proved one Of the most successful real estate operations in the history of the district.
 With the exception of the property held for improvement by Mir. Johnson all of the lots Of the entire addition were sold, and it is an achievement worthy of mention that all Of the orig inal purchasers have prohted by the investment. The two-story brick busi- ness block erected by Mir. Johnson is D credit to the whole district end was built at a cost Of S35.O0O In this sub stantial structure he is handling fur niture. stoves. rugs. linoleums and house furnishings

than three of whom may he Of the same political faith. This board en- ploys the county superintendent and upon his or her recommendation ap- points the teachers for every district The argument advanced in favor of this is that it removes the superiI- tendent's office from politics, and the teacher from the purely local influence which frequently harasses her in small communities. In some cases one truS- tee is retained in each district, with certain well defined powers. Finan- cially the plan has this advantage-all school supplies are purchased in bulk by the board and distributed as need ed. This results in eliminating the continual waste in many of the small districts especially due to the poor on the part of inexperi- enced or unbusinesslike trustees.

of the school population that even the most forward looking trustees general ly find that the provisions made for each years increase are soon over taxed. Some twelve years ago. in 1905, when it was proposed to build the Central School in Bisbee at a cost of S75,000, considerable protest devel- oped in some quarters because it was feared that the taxpayers would be burdened to pay for a building that might never be fully occupied Yet, in 1912, the people again voted bonds. for still greater sum. this time for a fine new high school building. Fur thermore, two new schools are in pro- cess of building. the plans for two more are completed, and in addition nearly every other school in the dis trict has been enlarged by anything from one loom to a whole story.

BISBEE PLUMBING &
 HEATING CO.

While the mining industry is mak' ing Bisbee one of the great cities of the west" said Manager John Davis of the Bisbee Plunbing & Heating Go. "it is also responsible for the excellent times all business houses are now en- toying"
 As manager and founder of the Bis bee Plumbing & Heating Company NIT. Davis is one of the progressive busi- ness men of the locality. Prominent in the commercial life of the city for years. MT. Davis established the Bis bee Plumbing & Heating Company three years ago.
 The solid growth and advancement of this well known institution is seen in the fact that many of the best homes and business blocks of the com munity had the plumbing and timing done by the company. The firm has workshops in Lowell and Bisbee and five expert workmen and two helpers are regularly employed.
 The company has won success be cause of the facilities with which its shops are equipped. and the hiGh-class workmanship which has been a recog- nized feature of all the irmn's con tracts.
 "Bisbee is no longer an exclusive mining camp" said Mir. Davis. but growing, thriving and prosperous city"

COCHISE MOTOR CO.

That the city and county are in a splendid condition" said Ed Simmons of the Cochise Motor Company. 'is acknowledged by the most pessimistic citizen. and that it will continue to prosper everyone must be convinced who is informed on the great mining industry of the locality"
 Ed Simmons is one of the city's sue cessful garage men and is operating . busy and popular machine and re- pair shop on upper Main street. He is a native of the vigorous young state of Arizona. was reared to man. hood iu Tombstone and for some years was established in business in CalifOr- nia.

THE REXALL DRUG
 STORE

The unparalleled prosperity now so prevalent throughout the country, ' said J. M. Ball, of the Rexall Store, 'is more pronounced in the Warren district than any locality in the south west"
 Thoroughly familiar with the War ren district after residence here of more than fifteen years, J M. Ball is well qualified to speak on conditions in this locality During the last ten years MT. Ball has been the proprietor of one of the leading pharmacies in the community and has thoroughly es- tablished the business in the city of Bisbee.
 The Rexall Store is well located on Main street and is carrying an excell- ent stock of drugs, medicines. perfums cry. toilet goods. druggist sundries and stationery. A popular soda foun- tain is operated in connection with the business. Four registered pharma- cists are employed and all the clerks are experienced druggists and have certificates of reeistration.
 The exclusive sale of all the Rexall preparations in this district is a valu- able asset of the store owned by MT. Ball. and this famous line of medi- cines is receiving the same popular demand in Bisbee as in all the larger cities of the United States and Cana da.
 ''The social, educational and rclie ious life of Bisbee is all that could be wished for" said MT Ball "and this is a phase of the city's activity that will appeal to the family man intend ing to locate here"

i and Rural Children Given Good Opportunities In Cochse Schools

las schools have grown has been equally remarkable. In 1902. the first school was started. consisting of one room presided over by one teacher Next year five teachers were employ ed, and the board in making plans for the two story school building on Sev- enth Street felt it had solved the Douglas school problem for all time Yet today, fourteen years later. Doug las has twelve schools and one hun dred and eight teachers: and the school board is lying awake nights wondering what they'll do with the next years crop of school children if the price of copper stays up.
 Fifteen years ago. the school people of Cochise County displayed a serene indifference to the rural school prob lem, for the reason that there was practically no such problem. Yet to- day, since the advent of the dry far mer and the small cattleman, Cochise county is dotted with little county schools. Arizona has the smallest pro portion of rural school population of any state in the Union, and that popu- lation is concentrated in the two coun- ties of Cochise and Yavapai.
 Rural Schools Improved

$566. .396.l9. in cluding money used for
 building purposes. Half million dO!- lars expended in one year, in one
 county for one institution is a notice able, yet the first protest is yet to be heard. The spirit in which the people deal with their school system is a very
 fine one. Men who could not be in- duced to accept any other public posi- ton even with a comfortable salary attached. will yet take endless time from their own busy day to serve on a school board. No tax is paid as will ingly as the school tax. and in the poorer districts the people make stren- uous sacrifices to build and maintain their schools. When the people stand behind a movement or an institution they endow it with powerful possibili- ties; and when they realize to the full their power. the school system of to- morrow will make tOday's noteworthy seem but a beginning.
