DERhONT COLLECTION OF INDIAN CUR|OS BOUGHT
 FOR STATE UNIVERSITY

The DermOnt collection of Indian curios, which is at present in the Southwestern museum of Los Angeles has been purchased by the university of Arizona for the archaeological mu- scum. The collection was assembled by Mrs. Dermont, who was living at the time in Flagstaff. President von Klein Smid and Dean Cummings have recently surveyed the collection. Dean Cummings says that he considers the material quite valuable and that it would be valuable addition to the university museum. Principal among the articles included in the collection are a number of old Navajo blankets some of which are very valuable. There are also large number of bas- kets made by the California Indians. The university museum has none of this variety of baskets at the present time. The collection includes a large variety of all kinds of Indian curios and animal heads.
 It is not known how soon the col lection will be moved to Tucson, but it is thought that the transfer will be made within a short time.

COUNT OF ELK MAY RE-
 SUIT IN HUNTING PERMITS

State Game Warden Joe Prochaska is in the northern part of the state for the purpose of taking the elk cen sus of Arizona, the first enumeration of the kind, ever undertaken in this state, or any other as far as the game warden knows.
 How many elk are there in Ari- zona? This has been a mooted ques- tion ever since a year after the i'm portation of a herd of 81 head from the Jackson Hole country back in 1913, which importation, by the way was fathered by the Elk lodges of Arizona.
 In the belief that there were any where from 400 to 600 animals roam ing the mountain fastnesses of the Sitgreaves National Forest and ad- jacent ranges, state and federal game authorities last summer planned to give the sportsmen of the state a short open season.
 But how many elk have you real ly got in the state?" It was this question, and the inability to give ac- curate information that resulted in an indefinite postponement of the elk hunt, with the promise that it might be held in 1920 if the size of the herd warrants the killing off of superflous bucks.
 The investigation will also show if it will be necessary to send trap pers into the territory. Before the advent of the elks, mountain lions gave considerable annoyance to stock men and ranchers by devouring colts on the range. For the last four years no domestic animals have been moles- ted, and this has given rise to the theory that the lions are now feasting on young venison in preference to the colt flesh.

Nothing seems to be of more inn portance to-day than the teaching of citizenship. This should begin in the home as soon as the child is old enough to make an intelligent re- sponse. While we must always keep in mind the two factors involved in the teaching of citizenship to the child, morals and patriotism, we must appeal to his earliest instincts for the purpose of forming habits which in the future will be the expression of good citizenship. An early start will prevent correction which is usually a difficult problem.
 To- teach a child to be kind to all who come within the circle of his little world; his brothers and sisters, the aged and infir1n, his playmates and animals, is laying the foundation of good citizenship. Kindness is the opposite of selfishness. The appeal to kindness can best be made through the child's relation to animals. Every child should have a pet and kindness should be enforced, if necessary Many animals, especially dogs, are very sensitive and using them for amusement, such as tying tin'eans to their tails, is both cruel and humiliat- ing. Teach the child that an animal will prove to be his best and most faithful friend if treated kindly and lovingly. A child should be taught to feed his pet regularly and to see that he has warm, comfortable bed at night. If the pet is a wild animal the little master should be told what the animals native instincts and habits of life are, and it's surround ings should be made as nearly like it's native home as possible.
 This kindness to animals will also inspire love and appreciation of plant life. In order to value plants and vegetation of all kinds, child should be taught that their growth depends upon our regular and proper care of them.
 Helpfulness, especially to older peo- pie; consideration, generosity and courtesy should be directly taught to the child by courteous self-con- trolled parents. Then he will natural ly be polite to them and treat them with respect. He should always re- member to say please" "thank you,"
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-01-31

and "eXcuse me" to them as we'll as to others, and should obey without arguing. Love and appreciation of parents and elders can best be shown by helpfulness, consideration, and courtesy, in such ways as opening the door for them, offering to carry their bundles, and running errands without grumbling.
 If child is considerate and court- eous in This home, he will be consit- crate and courteous in public. He will not rush for the best seat in a car or other public places. He will speak cheerfully to his acquaintances when he meets them on the street, and he will say Good morning" to his teach CT, and help her by being courteous and doing as she wishes without pro- test. If child is kind, he will net stare at foreigners and whisper about them just because they are dressed differently or not so we'll as himself. He will remember that his neighbors ilSiNc d IlSit to COlSlueTdIlOI.
 Habits formed from the develop ment of these ethical instincts lead to courage such as that displayed by many who were drowned on the Ti- tanic. The bravest were those who, through kindness of their hearts, al lowed other lives to be saved first.
 A parent may be certain that if he teaches his child kindness and con- sideration toward every living thing, he is simultaneously appealing to the instinct of justice, which later on will express itself in the demand for fair ness in games and contests, 2 respect for just rules and the arbitration of disputes, a demand for equality of rights, and the consequent resentment against tyranny of the older over the younger, the strong over the weak, of the majority over the minority. In appealing to these early instincts of the child, the parent is laying a foun- dation for good citizenship.
