TIME THRIFT IN
CHILD TRAINING

In the United States the average
1913 days in one state to 1912 in an
other. The average attendance ranges
from 1919 days in one state to 1913 in
another. A child. then. who attends
school every day it is in session may
get from 9S4 to 1553.6 days of school,
ing during the eight years that are
supposed to be given to elementary
education.
A child who attends only as much
as does the average pupil actually
spend from 5S3,2 to 1884 days in
school If we allow six hours as the
length OF the school days, the first
child gets from 5904 to 9321.6 hours
of education. the second from a4se.2
to 7430.4 hours. assuming that the
child is being educated all the time
he is in school.
These hours are very precious.
What are we doing with them? They
! are probably the most important
ones of childhood, since they are the
ones in which standards are being
set, values learned and ambitions in
stilled. This is perfectly natural. for
ont only is a large per cent OF the
chi)d's waking hours spent under the
teachers influence. but these morn
ing hours are also the ones mos
open TO impressions.
There has been an enormous ma
tional waste in the failure to utilize
these hours to the best advantage ir
making citizens. Idle hours, or thos.
that are crowded with meaningless
valueless tasks are not only wastefu
of this time that should be mos
fruitful. but actually stultifying il
effect.
Child interest, ambition and energ-
cannot only be awakened but guided
and led TO achievement through thu
proper use of school hours.

present of value for purposes of taxation than the average property.
 Perhaps the real animus of MT. Goodwin against the bond issue that the board of supervisors nave not proposed to avail themselves of law passed py the last legislature by ordering paving through cer tain towns of the county. That they have not done so is because these towns lie a state highway which cannot become part of the county system No doubt in time the highway will be construct cd by the state which under the authority of similar law may pave through the towns that lie on it
 But all this argument has bearing on the pres ent question It would benefit those towns to de- feat the bonds. On the contrary all these towns would lose much if the bonds should be defeated
 very serious mistake would be made if for any reason the bonds should not be authorized by the voters at the election next Saturday. So important is this matter the of Maricopa have had more vital one submitted to them, that there should be heavy vote for the bonds.

commissioners may pave through the cities and towns as well as in the coun- try. They have laid out a highway that passes two ways through Chand- Ter, that runs on the east and west side of Mesa, one half being in the city and the other half in the country, to be paved under this proposition, but have denied all the other cities and towns in the county one foot of pavement. MT. Taxpayer of Phoenix, don't you think it would have been good plan to have done some paving in Phoenix, Glendale and Tempe, in- stead of spending a million dollars as is proposed north of Phoenix, where 3 roads run parallel for miles one half mile apart at the cost of nearly s40o 900 and west of Phoenix roads run parallel 10 miles one mile apart, that will cost $500, ,000-or to have run a road to have connected Tempe with Scottsdals, as Tempe is the place where the Scottsdale growers gin their cot ton and ship their products from? l am not finding any fault with the highway commission for laying out highways in Chandler or Mesa, for they have followed the law to that ex- tent, but they have disregarded the law as to the other cities and towns. I find no fault when the board or sup ervisors lobbied to get Bill 143 thr<Igh the legislature, so that the hlghWay commission could relieve the special bonded district, but I do say it is un- fair to relieve the taxpayers along Center street and McDowen road and burden the suburban residents of Phoenix and the citizens of the town of Glendale and Tempe with something that the taxpayers in the special road
 bonded districts have been relieved from. Remember this-if you vote these bonds it will cost you s3,00O,OOO more
 either as county or state bonds. tc connect up with other counties so that
 YOU will have a system of state roads
 So MT. Voter, if you believe it is tc
 the best interests of Maricopa county and the state to have the road system l as proposed by the map, vote for 1t If you believe that it is the best in- terest to have a state highway, Vott l against the bonds.

 Many a marriage has turned out wrong just because a wife or bus band refused to make a practical ef- fort to save it" l thought. "Shell shock may be a romantic barrier be- tween a man and wife, but fortunately it is rare one. In some lives are other barriers, not half so hard to de- stroy.
