 BY MAIL BEGINS
After Two Days Board Of Trustees Follow Example
 Of Grade Schools; Core spondence Starts Monday

The Phoenix High school is closed.
 After remaining open for two days while the grade schools were closed because of the present influenza crisis. the trustees finally decided to close the doors of the school and to resume correspondence work as during the last closing.
 Correspondence school work will be- gin Monday. The faculty is already preparing the assignments for the CON ing week. Out-of-town students will have their assignments mailed to them this week in time for them to receive them Monday. Students living in town will receive their work Monday, when messengers in automobiles will deliver them to their doors. The same system will be followed in handling the future work by correspondence as in the past, Principal David F. Jantzen declared yesterday afternoon.
 Senior Class to Graduate
 Principal Jantzen also stated that the senior class of 1919 would be able to graduate this year. The seniors will be given greater opportunities for mastering their lessons in order that they may complete their high school course this year and enter college and universities next September The Uni Versity of Arizona, he said, will be easier with the students who desire to enter next autumn. taking into con- sideration the hardship that has been brought upon them by the epidemic Entrance requirements for many other universities it is believed, will be easier for the same reason.
 +I,1 e-{r, r. Nf ,.1, class the preference in the correspond ence school work, Principal Jantzen is taking into consideration the fact that the undergraduate pupils have from one to three years yet to serve in higt school before they graduate and ir that time, he believes, they will be able to make up their credits by taking more studies.
 Study by Mail Success
 Professor Jantzen feels that the worE in correspondence that was carried or prior to the reopening of school has been a success He also believes tha the work that is yet to be done vii be equally as beneficial to the sudden l body. It is hoped that the school, will again reopen before the end O the school year. in order that there b, time to review the work covered b, 1 correspondence.
 The resolution to close the higl school was passed at meeting of tn, ! high school board of directors at nooI yesterday. There was school all da! yesterday until o'clock in the after noon.

 THANKS ID THE FLU

The enforcement of the anti-gaming act, though effective since December of last year, was begun yesterday as to dice. punch boards and other devices by which men (and women, too) may pay for the privilege of obtaining things of value such as cigars, boxes of candy, etc. The enforcement was rather in- cident to the campaign against the flu
 T. J. Duncan, who since the theaters were allowed to ope nhas been delegated to see that the regulations were en- forced. yesterday, since the theaters were closed again, was transferred to supervision of the pool halls. with in structions. at first, to shut down on all gaming devices. but not to interfere with the pool tables which did not come under the act
 This order also went against similar devices in drug stores and at fruit stands. Later his instructions were amended to include the shutting down of the pool tables, but later in the day that was further amended. prohibiting more than four persons to play at a table.
 MT. Duncan found a surprising num- Der of pool halls-thirty- one, and he SNS PSN@S tiob tltlt dlt SOlnt III LiiC out- lying districts which he will find today. Generally, the places where punch boards and dice were used acceded to the order without discussion. At one fruit store the officer found a lot of women trying to beat the game out of boxes Of candy. They offered some demur at first to interference with the constitutional right of a woman 10 get the best of a gambling device, but they agreed finally that the enforcement of the order might be a good thing in pre- venting men and boys from becoming gamblers.

.TO D|G NEW STRETCH IF ARIZONA CANAL
 AND PREVENT FLOOD

To avoid the frequent disastrous breaks, which occur in the Arizona canal, during floods, the Water Users Association at the last meeting of the board of governors, decided to move a short section of the waterway about a quarter of a mile further north in order that the water level of the canal may be placed below the surface of the surrounding territory. At intervals along this stretch. small sections ot the south bank will be removed to take care of the surplus water that usually accumuIates during d flood
 By doing this only the extra flow of water will overflow the banks Of the ditch, and not the entire stream, which in the past has inundated the country for miles around. It is esu- mated that this project will cost $35, ,000
 Local firms are now at work pre- pairing figures and plans for the con struction work, which are expected. to be submitted near the end of the month It is hoped that the work will be gotten under way soon, so that the project may Be completed before the summer floods commence.
 The section of the canal that will be moved is in between laterals F and 1872, or less technically speaking, com mencing at the Black Canyon road and going west for one and one-half miles.
 At a special meeting of the council two vacancies in the board of gov ernOrs were filled.
 A. c. Shoot was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation oI George W. Brown Of the fourth district, who sold his land and thus became ineligible to serve on the board. A. A.

 PRESS ASSOCIATION
 PROPOSED BY EDITOR

In advocacy of an Arizona Editorial association, of which there have been many, Major George II. Kelly of the Douglas International says
 It has been about twenty-five years since the organization of what was then called the Arizona Press associa- ton. Few meetings were ever held of the association, and it resulted in no particular good to the newspapers, though perhaps some of the ambitious politicians of that day may have se- cured some advantage because of the association.
 Since then, at various times, spas modic efforts have been made to or ganize the newspaper men of the state. but nothing more has ever been accom- plished.
 It would seem that an organization of the real bona fide newspaper editors and owners of the state might be pro- ductive of some good to both the state and those responsible for the news papers published in Arizona.
 Tt may be assumed that there will be a number of the newspaper men of the state at Phoenix during the early days and organization of the fourth legislature, and that would be a good opportunity for at least a discussion of the proposition to organize the edi- [ tors of the state.
 What say you. brethren? Answer ing for the Daily International, we will say that it's editor will be in the capital i City on January 15. How many others can arrange to be there on that date? Come along, brethren, and let us fra ternize.'
 There have been many editorial and 1 press associations in this state. but | they were generally formed for othe. purposes than the promotion of the 1 interests of the press. It has beer i some years. though, since there was such an association, and the newspa- per business is more of an institution than it used to be, so that there is a l chance that an association would now survive and prosper.

COUNTY BUREAU READY TO FIND
 SOLDIERS JObS
C. W. Peterson Chosen Man ager at Organization Meet
 ing; To Handle Work At
 |. $. Employment Office

The County Bureau for Returning Soldiers and Sailors has had it's or sanizltion meeting and has selected supervisor C. ". Peterson as its man user. The bureau, following action UC the county council of defense and various other patriotic bodies of the county has been constituted of the membership of the community labor . board, which comprises Mr. Peterson, Edward r. Parker of the Southwest cotton company c. E. Moore of the Phoenix Trades council, Mrs. Chas. F. Arnold. of the county agency, and Miss Alice Eddy of the wOmen's ses- ton of the local employment agency. All were present and participated in the discussions concerning the work that is before the bureau.
 1t was agreed that. as far as possible the principal work of the bureau should be handled at the United States en- ployment headquarters, 117 North Second avenue If that becomes over burdCned there may be creation of an auxiliary organization. It is asked that there shall be cooperation by all bodies interested in the returning sol- dcr such as the Y. M. c. A.. Red Cross, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare board, Salvation Army. labor unions, etc., and Manager Peterson is expected to call upon each of these for the naming of a representative
 To Classify Applications
 Under instructions from Washington the bureau manager will see that all applications for employment by re- turning soldiers or civilians returning from war work shall be properly regis tered and classified, as we'll as all opportunities for employment that may be offered or secured. In this capacity the manager is recognized as an agent Of the national employment service and is granted the franking privilege. Each bureau is to receive reports from agents stationed in each camp where men may be denobilized, with the hope that the periods of employment may be as short as possible between discharge and the new job.
 The usual employment agencies. SUD- ported by the national, state, county and city authorities will not be dis turbed in their work, but will be aided by the new organization. It is ap- preciated, however. that a first clain upon employment is to be given the men who have offered their lives tC their country, and to them is to be eX- tended special consideration.
 It is possible about d third of the 3.700 men who went from this county will need some help to be placed or return, but the large majority of those who have come back thus far appear 10 be dropping easily into their ole positions. Few applications have beer made at the employment office by soldiers.
 It is understood that the bureal work will apply especially to the me1 of it's own community. Help for thu soldiers of other sections who may drift into Arizona after discharge is { matter that may have to be giveI subsequent consideration.
