DENVER PEOPLE ASLEEP.

To the Editor of The Denver Star:
In offering you this bit OF opinion,
| do not wish to cast any insinuatlons
at any particular person, but instead
would like each and every Church and
Y. NJ. C. A. official, social worker, and
all who claim to be interested in the
betterment of our Race, consider him
self concerned.
Why is it that strangers In the CITY
are not welcomed into the Churches
and the Y. NJ. c. A. more than they
are? Why are they permitted to come
to our city and find their own places
of amusement, sometimes without
stopping to consider that there are
Churches, or Y. M. c. A?
/ do not think that one should beg
and implore a person to attend serV-
ices, but | do think that some effort
should be put forth, more than there
is at present, to make strangers know
that these places are for them as
much as any one, and that they are
really welcome.
have been in Denver one month,
and had to practically ask for an in
vitation before | was invited to either
the Church or Y. NJ. C. A. meetings,
and while | am a Denver boy, and was
raised here and know where the
churches, etc, are, | speak Tor the
strangers who enter our city every
day and do not know, and naturally
have to find their own places OF rest
and recreation, and ! venture to say
that nine times out of ten, these
strangers within our gates find the
places which our ministers and Y. NJ
c. A. directors, social workers, etc, &c
not approve of, and too soon do they
condemn a man who frequents these
places, for if they put forth a little
more effort and spent little more
time in finding these strangers and
making them welcome, they would
have less opportunity to condemn
them for finding the wrong class OIL
people and the wrong recreat1ons.
have been all through the East for
the past seven years and must say
that, although Denver is my home, 1t
is far behind most cities of its size in
this respect, and | offer this as sug'
gestion that the ministers of the vari-
our churches, the Y. M. c. A. and the
Y. w. C. A, the social workers, and
practically all those who believe in So
cial uplift get busy. walter w.

high school students the total number of students in the 14,OOo high schools of all kinds increased to million and a half. Of all the 11,674 public high. schools reported, $40 had full four year courses. Approximately 93 per cent of all public high school students are in four-year high schools.
 The report analyses the number of teachers in the United States, show ing that of the 706,000 teachers, ,169,- 900 were men and 537 ,000 women. The number of men teachers has increased very slightly since 1900; the number of women teachers has almost doubled In public elementary schools the num- Der of men teachers has decreased 20 per cent since 1900, while the num- Der of women teachers has increased 8 per cent. In 1900 teaching positions in public high schools were evenly di- vided between men and women. At the present time women outnumber the men by 5000. The average an
 
 figure is highest in the east and North Atlantic states, with $699 and $696, respectively, and the lowest in the South Atlantic states, sS29. It varies from s234 in Mississippi to $S71 in California and s941 in New York.
 Expenditures for education in 1914, partly estimated, totaled close to $500 100000. An estimate, making due allowances for the intervening two years and for items necessarily omitted, would easily bring the na- tion's current educational expenditure to a billion dollars. Public elemen- tary schools cost in 1915 approxi- mately 100000; public high schools, s7O,GOOO00; private elemen- tary schools, s52,OOO,OOO; private sec ondary schools, s15,OOO,OOO; universi- ties, colleges and professional schools, $1O0, 1000 ,OO0: normal schools, $15,- 100000.
 Of the $555, 5,077, ,146 actually report ed for public schools in 1914, $39S,511,- 1O4 was by the North Atlantic and North Central states New York ex- pended s66,OOO,OOO; Pennsylvania, $52,- 900 ,OOO: Illinois, 39,007,314 Ohio, $35, ,172,95O; California, $26,579 ,SO4; Massachusetts, s25,492 ,292; New Jer- sey, $23,2S4,O96. Six states, New Ham pshire, Vermont, Delaware, Wyoming, New Mexico and Nevada, expended less than S2,O0O,0 900. On a per capita basis Utah ranked highest, with an expenditure of S10 07; Idaho expended $9. .66 per capita of population; North Dakota, $9.62; Montana, S9. 50; Ari- zona, SS. 93; Washington, $S.S9 while Mississippi spent $1 so; South Caro- lima, $1 S3; Alabama, $1. 97, and Geor gia, S1.9S.

EDUCATION

According to the annual report of the U. S. Commissioner of Education the increase in the number of women teachers in the public schools of tn. country in 1916 outdistanced the Ill. crease in men teachers by large per crntage. The cause is plain in a1di-
 tional figures revealing the salaries
 paid teachers. Men cannot devote their time to the profession of teach ing at the salaries offered; and the
 wonder is that so many young women take up this profession when the busi- ness world of today offers so many ad- vantages much more lucrative.
 Taken all in all the report presents
 some interesting facts and figures, as follows:
 There were 23,5O0 ,O00 persons at tending schools of some kind in the
 United States in 1916, according to es- inmates of the United States bureau of Education. 'This means,'' declares the annual report of the commissioner of education that approximately "A per cent of the inhabitants of the United
 States are attending school, as com pared with 19 per cent in Great Brit ain, IT per cent in France. 20 per cent in Germany, and a little over 4 per cent in Russia.,' The bureau points out however, that the result is much less favorable to the United States if daily attendance, rather than enrolment, is taken as the basis for comparison, since some of the other nations have
 better attendance and longer school term than the United States.
 The number of pupils in public kin dergarten and elementary schools rose from 16,900,000 in 1910 to 17,935 900 in 1914, an increase of more than mil lion in four years. In the same period the number of public high school
 students increased from 915,O0O to l. 219, ,O00; and for 1915 the correspond ing figure was 1929, ,O0O. As the result
 of this increase of 10000 in public

STATE SHELTER IS PROPOSED.


 Bills have been introduced in both houses of the state legislature providing for the ap- propriation of $75o,ooo to be used for the building of a state shelter to do custom work. The bill provides that the shelter shall be erected by commission to be named by the Governor for that purpose. Such an under taking is permissible in Arizona under the constitutional amendment adopted two years ago allowing the state to engage in indus trial enterprises The bill provides that no more than ten per cent profit shall be charged for smelling ore for citizens of the state This last provision, in our opinion, will render the enterprise useless SO far as being any benefit to prospectors and mine owners of the state is concerned, as smelter operated by the state, where politicians would have the best salaried positions, would have no chance in competition with the great smelting plants now in operation.
 However, we are inclined to believe that the expending of this amount of money by the state in providing public smelter would be money well spent to serve object lesson to dispel the socialistic ideas of govern ment that have been rampant in Arizona since the commonwealth was taken into the union of states.
 Each of the Smeters in operation in Ari- zCna today has cost the builders probably three times the amount proposed as the cost of the state shelter. It might be possible to erect small shelter for three quarters of a million for handling one kind of ore, but to successfully treat all the varieties of ore that is encountered in Arizona modern plant would be required, including the various new methods that have come into use during the last decade
 The location of the proposed smelter was not mentioned by the dispatches announcing the introduction of the bills, but perhaps a piece of ground, worthless for any other use could be found in the Salt River valley, but we would advise against the sacrificing of any alfalfa lands of that valley for this new state enterprise.
 Seriously, we would suggest that the state call in Dr. Ricketts, J. s. Douglas, C. E. Mills Captain John C. Greenway, Norman Carmichael, and J. w. Bennie and learn some thing about smelters before en1barking the state on such an enterprise.

The elected official gives bond to the state guaran- teeing that performance. Who cares, if the law provides that he may have deputies, clerks and stenographers to help perform the duties required of him, whether this work is done by his sisters and his cousins and his aunts" or by others The legislature, if it can find nothing more important or beneficial de- manding its attention should adjourn Sabe?

The Copper Era is pinning its faith to the building of the Clifton-Springerville Forest Highway, one of the greatest pro jects ever launched for the benefit and pros perity of Apache and Greenlee counties. In this day of auto traffic the building of the north and south highway may be likened to the advent of a new railroad. When we con- slider the wonderful rich resources which will be possible of development by the building of this north and south connecting link the pro- posed highway has double value.

The Copper Era is in receipt of positive information from Phoenix that the State Fed. eration of Labor, through its executive com mittee, IS opposed at this time, to the passage of the Kinney Bill excluding non-English speaking workingmen from employment in hazardous occupations within the state. This IS reversal of policy on the part of the State Federation as in the past they have stood sponsor for the Kinney Bill and its twin, the Eighty Per Cent Law. It is understood that ]. L.

THE EXPECTED DECISION.

The anticipated decision in the mandamus proceedings brought by Thos. E. Campbell, who on the face of the returns was elected Governor in November, to compel ex-Gov- ernor Hunt to surrender the office, was hand ed down by the Supreme Court of the State Saturday last in favor of Campbell and the Governor, defacto, has entered upon the dis charge of his official duties.
 This decision has no bearing upon the real contest proceedings brought by Geo. w. F. Hunt which is now pending in the Super for court of Maricopa county.
 The attempt of ex-Governor Hunt to hold over in the Governors office, in the face of the election certificate issued to Camp bell, was i'll advised and this act on his part will no doubt cost him considerable politi- cal prestige throughout the state. So far as the contest suit is concerned, however, the ex-Governor is entirely within his rights. CampbelPs small majority as returned by the Boards of Supervisors of the several counties may be entirely wiped out by the official count If 1t can be shown to the satisfaction of the court that Geo. w. P. Hunt was the legally elected Governor at the last election he is certainly entitled to the office He who laughs last, laughs best.
 Commenting on the mandamus decision the exchanges say:
 Douglas International:
 A republican has been placed in the office of gov of Arizona because of the action of Governor Hunt in attempting to read out of the democratic party all those who refuse to follow his lead in try ing to make the government of Arizona one to give its favors alone to the Western Federation of Min and it's l. w. W. allies. The democratic news papers of the state frequently branded by the Hunt political machine corporation hirelngs for other than because they refused to en- dorse the acts of the governor who sought to enforce in many instances, his personal opinions when they state. Whenever any party any party leader un dertakes to discipline the party press then it may be expected that very both the leader and party will be on the down grade.
 Phoenix Republican:
 The Republican shared in the impatience the decision of the supreme court in the Campbell Hunt mandamus The decision generally anticipated. One did not need to be learned law yer to feel that the decision would ultimately members of the court entertained doubt on that point from the time the closed and if de- cision had then been announced it would probably have been as to the result the that of yes terday. . fa Bisbee Review:
 Yesterday Governor Campbell made his address the legislature. The Executive shows marked desire to do what for all of the people of the state of Arizona. His address straightforward exposition of the needs of Arizona; without flourish without threat, without fear favor. He handled subjects which rarely touched upon by most pub cal effect in unprejudced vein. His attitude is that of Governor who really desires to the state go ahead, without trouble and without hard ship.

It would be wise if Gov. Campbell leaves the present machinery of state government intact until that contest case is finished. It is not likely that the democratic state senate would care to temporarily disturb our public institutions by confirming other than very necessary appointments
