Every nation in the world and each
state in the United States is repre-

High Night School. considered by
educators as one of the leading in
situations Of its type in the country.
Mention of this fact gives but
vague comprehension of the untiring
struggle of thousands of persons en-
ployed in Washington to secure the
education in the night schools that
they lost or failed to take advantage
of in early life.
High Night School are $500 persons
large majority of them adults
governmet workers. The remaining
10 per cent can be safely placed N
the miscellaneous category. Some are
department store bundle wrappers.
others clerks in mercantile establish
ments, OF unskilled laborers. All,
view-self betterment.
Hurry and Bustle Impressive.
A visitor is impressed with the hurry
and hustle at the school.
How can the studnts study" is
the first question asked by a stranger.
Five hundred typewriters are click
ing almost synchronously. Scattered
words of French or Spanish from a
teachers lips are hardly audible at
times.
Concentration" is the laconic re-
ply of F. f. Lucas. principal of the
night institution. The apparent dis
turbance in the building is no more
noticeable to the students than an
automobile passing in the street.
An idea of the vast work carried on
at this institution for six nights a
week is given in the fact that there
are nearly $50 classes. Only about
half of them are in operation \each
night. as the enrolment at the school
is divided in half. Some students at
tend Monday. Wednesday and Friday
nights, while the remainder go Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday.
Typewriting and shorthand courses
are the most popular. There are
twenty eight classes in the former
and forty-two in the latter. The
course in Accountancy. however, is
ever increasing in demand, and is in
dicative Of predominating all others.
Foreign language courses also are
popular with the night students.
There are four classes in French, but
the demand is dropping readily. and
giving way to Spanish. The French
course was the favorite during the
world war, and the Significance of
this is understood.
One of the new courses instituted
this year is that Of office training,
which has proved unusually popular.

day The most worthwhile criticisms
received after Wednesday will be flashed
upon the Garden screen the following
Monday.
The innovation in criticism suggests
the question. Will a new school OF er1ti-
cism. helpful to public and producers
alike. come into being? Will motion
picture exhibitors in general take kind
ly to the idea Of making known the
merits or dement's of the photoplay
upon its own screen? Does public
opinion on the suitability OF particular
productions vary about as much as has
professional newspaper opinion in the
past?
Certainly the answer to all this. as
given on the screen next week, through
The Stars enterprise. will be OF much
interest in and out Of moving picture
circles. One thing is sure: The idea will
get a nationwide trial as soon as word
of it has gone forth from Washington.

U. S. LOSES $7,4oo BILLS.
Treasury officials Believe Money
May Be Recovered.

Disappearance of q package Of $500
in bills from the Treasury Depart.
ment. six weeks ago, has engaged the
attention Of the secret service ex-
perts since that time.
Treasury Department ofhcials. while
admitting that no arrests had been
made. said that there was still 4
strong probability of the package be-
ing traced and the money recovered.
The money was received with other
funds from the federal reserve bank
at St. Louis. but disappeared before It
reached the national bank redemption
agency to which it was consigned
William T. Moran. chief of the secret
service. said that he regretted this
loss had become public while the in.
vestigation was still in prosfsss.
AS the treasurer Of the United Slater
is under bond, It ID thought BY some
Treasury officials that the loss might
fall on him. unless some one Of hix
subordinates could. be shown to have
been responsible. Such losses. white
not without precedent. are Unusual
in the department.

Acceptanes of the universe

Margaret Fuller, a noted American of the last century used to say T accept the Universe And when Thomas Carlyle heard of it. he said Cad she'd better"
 But accepting the universe is not so easy it sounds It means, for one thing, being willing to 1t it is, blinking at facts that may not be to ones taste. One need not keep his eye on the slaughter house. But when he thinks of the universe he must forget that it is there. an sential part of every civilization and that the world is full of carnvorous armed and taught by nature to prey other animals; that there is a for the weak, the stupid the improvdent and the unwary that the sins the father are often visited upon his children in disease in weakness or in pub lie contempt; that the innocent may often suffer with the guilty; and that mans long struggle with the world has left him subject to fear and anger jealousy and suspicion cruel inconsiderate and grossly unreasonable.
 Accepting the universe means that one does not grumbe about these things or any others like the Siberian Eskimos who beat their gods because the hills are so hard to climb the winters are so cold but adjusts himself happily it all taking the bit ter with the sweet and making the of his life wherever his lot may be east that he won't cry over spilled milk, or hope to his cake and have it too: but will pay the price of his blessing in pain and sweat and take it all part of the days work without whining like spoiled child for the moon or other impossibtes

Against the Bonds

MT. Editor: I desire to express my opinion on the road bond question to be decided by the people next Satur- day at the polls.
 I do not believe that it will be a good investment for the people of this county to vote for the 4,500, 900 road bond issue asked for by our county road commission at this time. For three reasons.
 First; It is provided for in the pres ent contract with Twohy Brothers that all money now available and to be- come available for road building will be expended under that contract. And no matter what verbal promises may have been made by Twohy Brothers or their employees. they will in no way affect tho legality of that contract Second: The proposed bond issue calls for an interest rate of per cent fer annum and under the present fi- nancial depression they may be hard to dispose of even at that rate, while un- der normal conditions a per cent bond issue backed by the resources of Maricopa county would readily sell at premium, while we all feel sure that conditions will be normal inside of two years. And the present road building contract will take at least that long to complete.
  as well as many other lines of business are facing a very serious financial con- dition, on account of the failure of our cotton market. If cotton does not ser i for a fair price within the next 50 days al will lose heavily, many will be bankrupt, and many will not be able to operate their farms next year. Personally I am so situated that the paving of the added roads covered by | 1,nroftf I- rectly, yet I am not willing to vote this l indebtedness on the county st this time for my benefit or for the benefit of those who will profit by f 1T it should carry, but who will lose nothing lonly what they expect to nlale) if they do not carry.
 Of course. we all want the paved roads and as soon as conditions again l become normal we can have them, and will be able to get them laid for at least s25 per cent less than we will have to pay for them now.
 J.A. R. IRVINE.
 {The two points raised by Mr. IT. vine have nothing whatever to do with the situation. As to the Twohy con- tract. that cannot be made to cover the proceeds of the bonds that may be Ivoted tomorrow. Twohy Brothers have said that they will enter into new lcontract if it is awarded them Tor the lcompletion of the contract. Conceding for arguments sake that it might be interpreted that the present contract covers the whole work and though Twohy Brothers should insist upon 1t, 1t would still not be a legal contracts since 1t runs against the law. as Ar. Bennett has pointed out.
 As to the depression which Nr IT, vine says exists, because Of the cotton situation, the bonds if voted would add nothing to 1t this year or the next or the next. Certainly before the weight of the bonds could be felt. the de- presslon must have passed. If not we're in for a longer depression than the world has ever witnessed.)

Mine Assessment Work

That the president will approve the mine assess exemption measure is taken for granted though those affected by it will be tenter hooks until word has come of signature. It is not after all really an exemption, but a postponement measure, since it contemplates that the work that should be done be- fore December 31 may be postponed for period of six months
 In previous bills for the relief of miners the work was not thus postponed but remission of the necessity of doing it was granted for the year.
 There has been time in recent years when the miners more sorey needed this form of relief. We are speaking of the small mine rather prospect owners who honestly wanting to develop t;es~ properties to ascertain whether it may out to be a mine.
 With the halt in mining activity, the low price of metals. that is. of copper it is impossible for many prospectors to do the annual assessment work this year. and its requirement. would be an imposi- ton of a hardship upon many an honest prospector
 If it affected only rich owners of unpatented mining claims or the holders, rich not, of mining claims purely for speculation, to be dumped upon some unwilling purchaser there would be no good reason for making the exemption or postponement

Master Minds Not
 Tn Accord On One
 League Agreement
IRepubIlcan A. 2. Leased WIrel

MARION. Ohio. Dec. 2s.-Confiict- ing counsel regarding an association of nations was given President elect Harding today by former supporters of the league of Versailles.
 Senator Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota. who voted for unre- served ratification of the Versailles treaty, advised the president t-elect to put the league aside and try for new deal all around in his efforts to form an international peace society.
 Oscar straus of New York, a former ambassador to Turkey and prologue worker in the treaty fight, took the view that the United States still should accept the league in some form and should launch it's next move for world peace through that agency.
 Both expressed confidence in Sena- tor Harding's policy of seeking to unite the country behind an international program but neither would express an opinion regarding the president s specific proposals for world concert as he outlined it to them.
 Although he was the leading Repub- lican supporter of the league through both ratification battles in the senatf, Senator McCumber said he regarded the covenant as definitely rejected so far as the United States was concerned and thought an association of nations now could be built up independently l of the league machinery. He suggested l that the greater powers be linked by a network of arbitration treaties as the 1 basis of the new society and that a disarmament agreement might be con sunarnate das the next step toward world peace.

Narrowed Down to the Vote

About all that be done to make more certain the bond issue to complete the county road building program will be to get out the vote. The discussion of the merits of the bond issue and the need of the money, the advantage to taxpayers and all others has been thorough the part of the advocates of the bonds, and the discussion has been carried on above-board. There has been cealment, no pretense and misrepresentation.
 It may be presumed that the taxpayers have been fully informed and have made up their minds toiwhat they will do at the polls tomorrow. There may be individual changes of opinion but there will be decisive eleventh hour changes. It is now only necessary to that these opinions prop eriy recorded and then we have no doubt that a grant will received from the people proceed to the finishing of the program which had been so warmly endorsed
 The work is now in the hands of the commit which have undertaken to get out the If they do that work well all will be we'll done when the votes are counted night.

After making the deduction for ex- penses by groups, the balance remain ing is to be distributed as follows:
 Two and one-half to the express company and the remainder among the railroads in the group executing this form of contract in the proportion that the gross express transportation for
 he month earned on each railroad bears to the gross transportation on all such lrailroeds.1
 The contract also will specify that should the revenues after deduction of expenses exceed per cent, the excess shall be divided half and half between the company and the carrier until II reaches a 10 per cent maximum. when it shall be divided one-fourth to the express companies and three-fourths to the carriers.
 The commission stated that such a contract would not interfere with com petition land was compatible with the public interests Commissioners East man. Aitchison, Wooley and McChard however, dissented from the majority | opinion, saying that such a contract
 as proposed would not be for the pub- lie interest and that it would cause the railroads to give the express compa-
 nies a guarantee against loss rather than insuring the roads fair return

Applied PsyehoIoaxy

It is the business of scientists to discover prin- cipes and of practical technicians to apply them
 The principles do not by inspiration. They are discovered by persistent work in the light of all that other scientists have done and under the guidance and stimulation of constant expert criti- cism.
 This Is as true of psychology as of any other science It takes of training under experts to make competent investigator and the business of applying psychology to practical problems is very exacting. One must know the principles worked out by recognized authorities and then work and work and work to find out how best to apply them to some definite practical situation And at every step of the process must test his results by definite measurements and computations.
 It is not field for prophets and orators
 But unfortunately the word psychology" today is used to conjure with. Applied psychologists" who have standing whatever in the scientific world go through the country announcing all sorts of wonderful laws and principles that scientists know nothing whatever about and promising that in a few high-priced lectures or booklets they will reveal the secret of health happiness and prosperity
 such secret exists it gift of God which should not be sold for gold. But the sciences know no royal road to any of iifes goods.
