the ADVANCE or the PRESS

The principle educational forces
working in, the modern community
might be grouped under three heads:
1.-The public schools. 2-The COL
leges. 3-The newspaper press.
Public schools represent the pur-
pose of the entire state, and their
success and efficiency are guaranteed
by the taxing power of the govern
ment. The colleges and other pri-
vate schools represent humanitar-
ian and cultural sentiment, with vast
reserves of money to draw from.
The newspaper press is more of a
self-made institution. 1t is an in
dividualistic enterprise, with no help
from state Or Philanthropy. 1t could
be said to be the creation of a type of
people having a certain temperament
in common. The so-called love for
printers in which holds them to
their calling, would seem to grow
out Of an exceptionally keen interest
in human life and development and
in civic and political progress.
The newspaper press started from
small beginnings, and has Tough,
against great obstacles. Every sue.
cessful newspaper has passed thru
its period of struggle, when it had
to live on faith and hope, but no,
often on charity, because it rendered
an equivalent.
The newspaper press has reached
the point where many people fee
ut is a greater power than either pub
lie schools or colleges. Schools ant
colleges exercise a dominating influ
ence-for a few years. Then theil
influence upon the individual large
ly ceases, and they turn attention t,
new group. But the newspape,
press exerts its influence from tn,
day a child learns to read until tn
day he dies. Which is the create
!, force?
The community has no create
problem than the evolution of thi
, mighty force up to its highest pos
t sibilities of service and leadership

BEAUTEY THE SCHOOL YARDS

When you keep a rural school
painted. and plant shade trees and
shrubs, you will make the school
attractive to the young crowd. They
will take pride in it, and will learn
lessons Of neatness and order. When
they grow up and have homes of
their own, they will be more am
bilious to beautify them.
Also strangers will note that the
town cherishes its schools, and will
conclude it is a good place to edu-
cate children.

NATION'S $ NATAL
 DAY WAS \ QUIET
 ONE IN TH|SC CITY
Picnicks and the Sport of Watching the Convention Bulletin Boards Formed
 The Principal Amusement

Independence day arrived and de- parted yesterday without the usual ac- compartment of fireworks, noise and official gatherings where silver tongued orators bored an audience with the inevitable reading of the Declaration of Independence. City. county and state buildings were closed Tn observance of the holiday, as were banks and places of business, and the day passed as quietly as a Sabbath morn in a country town.
 In the absence of any official cele- bration, the people of Phoenix cele- prated the day according to their in- dividual tastes, and judging from the deserted appearance of the streets many of them enjoyed the holiday by remaining in the quiet of their homes, playing patriotic melodies on the phonograph and partaking of a home cooked dinner. Quite a few residents of the city left Saturday for Prescott on the chamber of commerce special train to attend the Frontier Days cele- oration held there, while others hied themselves to Riverside park yester- day to enjoy a plunge in the big swim ming pool and join in the aquatic sports.
 In lieu of any other form of cele- brating the day. many men gathered about the news bulletin boards and entered into heated discussions over the probable outcome of the Demo- cratic convention at san Francisco, in terest increasing with the arrival of each bulletin that foretold the cer- tainty of a deadlock in the Demo cratic ranks
 Ban on Fireworks Sale
 Owing to the restriction on the sale Of fireworks of any description in the city limits, the younger folks had little or no chance to figure in the attendant accidents that featured former Fourth of July celebrations and no reports were received of injuries or burns sus- ta1ned through the careless use of fire works. As result of this restriction on the sale of fireworks, the fire de- partment had a very dull day. Tn for mer years Independence day has been the bane of a fireman's existence. as the arrival of this day meant consider able work through fires caused by carelessness. The police department also reported an unusually quiet day with no reports of accidents from ths use of fireworks.

The local produce market is well supplied with fancy fruits and vege- tables drawn from the California SUD- ply which is now heavy.
 Peaches, plums, apricots and grapes as well as lemons and oranges are plen- tiful. Berries are still coming in stead fly and water melons and cantaloupes are being received in large quantities daily.
 The local melon season is now be- ginning to get into full swing, many ears of home grown cantaloupes and watermelons being shipped out to min- ing towns in Arizona

reads in part as follows:
There is no truth in tho stories
that Germany has n secret, mobile
army. Not only are the German peo-
pie war weary and anxious for peace,
but there is a great shortage Of war
supplies. such as rubber, petrol, coal,
horses. and in addition. the rolling
stock Of the country is greatly depict
ed. Manufacture of arms and NUM-
tions is not going on In any large de-
gree, although it Is probable that to
force the Germans to give up all the
rifles stipulated in the peace treaty
will be impossible, since the conceal
ment of arms is not difficult. There
Is no danger Of warlike aggression
from Germany in the immediate fu-
ture. However. II the Germans are
permitted to maintain volunteers and
civic guards these bodies would con-
stitute n potential danger, as they
would provide basic material for a big
new army"

GETsbIANY's PRESENT ARMY
SAID TO NUBBER 1000, 900.

London, Jan. 2.-The British War
office. according to q London dis
patch of yesterday, estimates the pres
nnt armed forces Of Germany at ap-
proximately one million mon. as fol.
lows Regular army 100000; land
forces Of regular navy $4,000: armed
consta bulary 10000 to $4,000; tenn
porary volunteers and regular army
reserves 10000 to 100000; and civic
guards 100000 to 100000.
BY tho terms of the peace treaty
Germany Is required to reduce her
regular forces to 100000 by March
81, and it is also provided that ths
number of gendarmes must not be in
excess OF tho number Of military po-
lice in 1913.
1t is said that the slowness of the
German Government in reducing tho
regular army in compliance with the
treaty obligations has been due in
part to the delay in the ratification Of
the peace treaty and also to unsettled
conditions In Germany and the desire
Of the Government to avoid action
which would increase the number of
the unemployed.
While the present armed forces Of
Germany are. as indicated by tho
above figures, no doubt much larger
than has generally been supposed.
unofficial information recently
brought out OF Germany by British
army officers seems to indicate that
there Is no immediate danger to the
Allies from this source. One OF these
