REVOLVING THEFT
COMMITTED; HENRI
BEH0TECUY VICTIM

The party or parties who burglar
lied the home of Henri Behoteguy at
2416 North Third street on Monday
are hereby informed that Mr.. Behote-
guy is newspaper man and he should
know also that it is against the laws
of this state to rob a newspaperInan.
There are several peculiarly revolving
features about this crime. Among the
articles carried away was a pair of
mems shoes, almost new. And at the
present price of shoes, this constitutes
grand larceny.
Entrance was gained into the house
by means of pass key The house
was securely locked, for Mr.. Behoteguy
is of suspicious disposition and hav-
ing in mind that the state fair was on,
he rightly surmised that it might at
tract many ungodly characters to
Phoenix.
Among the other things stolen was
lot of fine silverware including we'd
ding presents and lot of old silver
which Mr.. Behoteguy had received
from his mother. The plumber en-
braced also an automatic revolver and
handsome and valuable travelling bag
belonging to Mrs. Behoteguy. There is
also missing a camera. An invoice of
what was left behind has not yet been
completed, so that at the hour of going
to press Mr.. Behoteguy is not sure to
what extent he had been damaged, but
it is about $500.
If this burglar and his associates.
if he had any, are wise they will be
governed by the information set out in
the first paragraph and return the
goods as surreptiously as they took
them away.

by what they have been taught at the
government schools. Every product Of

A delightful rest room is at the en-
trance of the wing in the educational
building, where the Indian exhibit is
being held. Navajo blankets are the
predominating note of the arrange
ments, and baskets and bits of pottery
representing the work of different
tribes is featured.
The school exhibit is most complete.

tive sons and daughters Is thorough,

being done at the local Indian school
of which John D, Brown is superin-
tendent
Exceedingly Fine
Papers on arithmetic, penmanship,
history, physiology, geography, agri-
culture and English line the walls of
several booths, while the needlework
display is exceedingly fine. Dainty
cross stitch towels, specimens of en-
broidery, bits of lace rival even the
lovely displays Of the domestic arts
department. In plain sewing, too, the

talent. The cooking is also featured
and mere also good showing is made,
The East Farm sanitorium has a
worth while art exhibit and paper cut

known as the San Xavier school, has a
complete exhibit, Indicating that the
Indians of the old mission district are
not behind their brothers in educa-
tional advantages.
Wagon by Pima Boy
The exhibit that has attracted by far
the most attention is a wagon made
by Roland Brown, Pima boy, en-
rolled in the Phoenix Indian school
Roland has made a miniature farm
wagon that is an exact reproduction
of the accepted type Of wagon today.
Just the size for boys plaything,
there have been countless efforts
made for the purchase of the wagon,
which is not for sale. Outside a large
wagon is being shown which is the
work of the boys of the school and
their harness exhibit and collection Of
tools is most complete.

DRUDGERY HAS NO
PLACE IN SCHOOL
SAYS PROF. WILSON

Education should be motivated, de-
clared Prof. II. B. Wilson, superintend-
ent OF city schools at Berkeley, Cali
fornias who addressed the joint teach
ers' institute yesterday. The second
day of the institute was well attended
and the session, which was held at the
high school auditorium, was very in
teresting.
Activities fall into three groups,
Professor Wilson explained in his ad-
dress; first, play, activity done for it's
own sake; second, work, activity done
for some gain to follow: third, drudg-
cry, work done for which there is not
seen promise of gain or betterment.
There is place for play, there is GER
tainly place for work. Drudgery should
not be present in our school system.
To eliminate drudgery, the speaker
continued, the teacher will study the
children and their problems. Not only
the aims of instruction, but the aims
of the child will be kept in mind. When
work is made related to the aims of the
child, discipline will not be a factor
The child will lend to his task not only
his body, but his soul
Prof. J. o. Creager, president OF
Flagstaff Normal school, in discussion
of Smith Towner bill pointed out that
the bill will offer better opportunities
to children, especially to the rural
| children, who have not the advantages
often times of the city children, to for
eign born. Professor Creager remind
ed the teachers of the proximity Of
that problem in Arizona, with one
fourth of male population unable tc
read and write. To teachers, in pro-
motion of facilities for better train
ing and in provision for government
aid in funds for salaries.
The federal department of education
would present advantages of uniform
activity all over the nation, he said II
would not limit the states because
state authorities, according to the bill
would control organization, admins
tration and supervision of state educa-
ton. There would be federal aid to be
matched by the state, for American
ization, for educating the illiterate, for
physical betterment of children for sal
airy funds to underpaying districts, an6
for scholarships in Normal schools.

Strike Action In
Bituminous Fields

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. A.
Defending the loyalty and intense pa
triotism of the West Virginia miners
c. F. Keeney, president of district No
II, United Mine Workers, in a litter
to President Wilson made public to :
night, declared that the miners did not
receive "a just compensation suffi-
Gent to afford our families a decent
living" Mr.. Keeney quotes figures
from the department of mines show
ing that the wage increases granted
the miners since 1916 amounted to so
percent, while the increase in the SELL
ing price of coal Nds 1895 per cent,
and the cost of living increased from
IL to 80 per cent in one year, from
1917 to 1918.
Referring to the hazardous occupa :
ton Of the miners, Mrs. Keeney said the
death rate was higher than that of the
American expeditonary forces"
AS God reigns, we will not see our
employers revel in wealth, even
though they blind the public and face
the dreadful ordeal of winter in the
mines without just compensation
sufficient to afford our families a de-
cent living
The first move on the part of the
coal operators toward bringing about
resumption of work in the union fields
of West Virginia cametoday when the
Kanawha Coal Operators association
passed resolutions placing themselves
and their properties at the disposal of
the state and federal government to
be used "as may seem best in this
crisis"
The resolutions declare that the
strike was unlawful" and that the is
sue is whether government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
ple,' acting through public servants,
duly elected or appointed. shall prevail
and continue, or shall the people OF
the United States be. subjected to the

D. C. Kennedy, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, said:
Many of the operators said there
was preponderating sentiment
among the miners for a speedy re-
sumption of work.
-Four mines in the unionized New
river coal fields, were reported to be
in operation by T. L. Lewis, secretary
of the New River Operators associa-
ton. He said these mines had an an
nual output Of approximately $1,000
tons and employed several hundred
men.
