one of the worlds greatest nations crumbling, with the population of her great cities starving to death because of ignorance of the masses, 1 say it is time for the people of Arizona to wake up and face this question. shall pay the penalty if we do not wake up.
 With the prevalence of adult illiteracy just described among much of the popula- ton of the state, it is not to be wondered at that all school districts have to deal with the problem of the child who does not willingly go to school, who is kept out of school by parents who do not understand the value of school training. Again our state laws are inadequate. We have in Arizona no means really worth while of dealing with the truant or with the child who is slightly below the average physically or mentally. Arizona now lags far behind most western states in this respect. A proper system of state insti- tutions should at once be built up to handle the prob lem of the slightly deficient child. This phase of the question is further compli- cated by the fact that many districts this year in all parts of the state do not have enough school room or enough teachers. Arizona needs more school facilities and more teachers.
 I do not know but that the title of this address would be changed for the better by leaving out t h e wor d "peculiar" for after all our problem in regard to the schools of this state is simi- lar to that in most other states. Among the current news items we read that one thousand teachers failed to report back to duty after the Christmas recess in Chicago, 50 that in the second largest city in the union many thou sands of students are with out instruction. In Maine and New York similar condi- tions exist.
 We are sometimes m e t with the argument "Teach- CTS should have sufficient loyalty and sense of duty to remain in the profession even though compensation is in- adequate. As to that 1 wish to say that it was my privilege to see the patient and willing self-sacrifice of many teachers who gave up pleasure in order to contri- bute to war charities--who saved till it hurt to buy Liberty bonds--who cheer fully performed every labor and duty required by our I

WOOL IN MANS SUIT
 COST ONLY S5.25

A Salt Lake City dispatch
 of January 27th says:
 The statement of H. R.
 King of Seattle, in an ad-
 dress before the National
 Retail Clothiers' association at Chicago, that clothing prices will advance from 25 to 40 per cent, partly be- cause of higher wool prices, was characterized as "ab- surd" by Dr. S.. M. Mcclure, secretary of the National Wool Growers association.
 King said before the cloth iers that Australian wool had increased from $1.14 a pound in 1914 to $4. 10a pound now.
 ''The truth of the matter is that wool is no higher in Boston, the wool market of the country today, than it was 90 days ago." Dr. Me Cure declared, and the highest price yet paid for clean secured wool in Boston is around $2. .15 per pound and that is for the very fin est grade. Ordinary three eights blood wool, which is the class out of which sol diers' uniforms were made and which is really the most useful grade of wool in the world for clothing purposes, is selling today in Boston from $1.30 to $1. 40 per pound, secured. This wool has not advanced in the last 90 days.
 "To manufacture a suit of clothing, suitable for the averaged sized individual and made of medium winter weight goods, requires 62I of wool, which wool can be bought in Boston to- day at $5.25. This, on a basis of the present prices, the total amount of wool in an average mans suit can be bought for $5. .25 and this is not more than $7 worth of | wool could be used.
 "The price of wool has not been responsible for the ad- vance in the price shown in the manufacture of this suit, on the presumption that the suit is made of all wool. Such suits as this retail to- day at from $6O to $75. If one were to use the very finest wool, and even at pres ent wool values, the wool re- quired to manufacture a suit l represents less than 10 per cent of the price at which such suit is retailed.
 "There may be some req son for advancing the price of clothing" Dr. Mcclure asserted, but it can not be blamed onto the price of wool"

SUPT. C. C. DOLMAN'S ADDRESS AT TEACH
 ERS' INSTITUTE

v = @O-e N~e C+e ~ VI man at the Navajo County Teachers Institute Wednes, day, which was in session al Winslow:
 MR. SUPERINTENDENT, LADIES
 AND GENTLEMEN OF THE IN.
 STITUTE:
 1 am not promising you very great things in my ad- dress this afternoon save in one respect. An eminent divine about to make an ad- dress at Harvard asked the president if there was any time limit imposed. "No, none whatever" replie d President Elliot. There is, however, a tradition at liar ward to the effect that no souls are saved after the first twenty minutes" There is, 1 shall admit, one partic- ular in which this story is not to the point, the imme- diate matter of interest to all too many teachers being not the saving of their souls so much as the saving of some trife of salary, so when the merry and gleeful sum- mer comes to avoid the pain ful situation of having noth- ing to spend but the vaca- tion. I have in past years had the professional experi- ence of trying to be a per feet gentlemen on nothing at all-so much so that, re- curing to the subjects of sermons, l was a good deal tempted to arrange my dis course in this manner:
 FirStly-Teachers' salaries (This is the smallest part of the subject).
 Secondly-To enlarge and develop this subject of teach ers' salaries.
 Thirdly Teachers sal aries should be put on a high CT plane.
 Fourthly and Lastly-Th That teachers should be paid a de- cent living salary for twelve months in the year.
 There is, however, another matter not altogether dis sociated from this first sub ject of teachers salaries which I believe should be treated.
 This second subject is illit- eracy. The problem of illit- eracy in Arizona has two re- lated parts of about equal importance, illiteracy of the adult and illiteracy of the child.
 As for adult illiteracy, it was my fortune toward the end of the war to translate for the draft in this county and in this small county 1 had to deal with about two hundred men without any real knowlege of the Eng fish language or of Ameri- can institutions. Most of these men showed almost no knowledge of the funda- mental obligations of citizen ship. We have here a very large problem of training for citizenship-of Ameri- canization. It would take more than the limits of this paper to treat this phase of the question in even the most sketchy manner but I wish to say at this time that while the Americanization bill passed passed by the last legislature is a step in the right direction, while 1 wish to give due credit to the work inaugurated by the Hon. Mulford Winsor, after all only the first step has been taken. Legislation of a much more thorough-going nature is absolutely required tocom- bat such vicious influences as the foreign language press, ever at work upon our alien population and to edu- cate this alien population in the elements of American civic duties.

HERBERT HOOVER'S
PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
Man Who Distributed Food in
Europe Boosted by New
York World
SUN SAYS REPUBLICAN

The boom of Mr. Hoover for the
presidency, which is beng voluntarily
championed by the New York World
has raised the question of Mr.. Hoo
ver's previous political affiliation.
We do not know anything about
hs politics, but his support of Mr..
Wilson and the splendid work he per-
formed in Belgium and Europe en-
title him to the consideration of the
people of America.
We publish the following interest
ing account of his record as a mem
ber of the Republican Club of New
York, published in the New York
Sun.
If long time membership in the
Republican club fixes members sta
tus as a Republican in politics (and
such partisan club membership is
accepted in political circles as prima
facie evidence of a mans political
convictions and sympathies) then
Herbert Hoover, fast looming as a
powerful candidate for the Demo
is actually Republican
He certainly was for almost eight
years, as the books of the Republican
Club of New York City reveal. The
records show that Hoover was pro-
posed for membership on August IL
1909; that he was qualified on De
cember IL, 1909, that he paid his
dues annually until he resigned on
June 80, 1917, the resignation being
finally accepted on September IL
1917. He had been appointed by
President Wilson as Food Administr
tor on April Z, 1917.
Mr.. Hoover was proposed for mem
bership in a stalwart distinctively Re
| publican organizations straight out
| party organization-by the late Lin
| den Bates, Jr, who it will be recalled
| lost his life when the Lusitania was
| torpeded on May z, 1915. Mr.. Hoo
| yer was seconded by John Henry
| Hammond, well known Republican
i 1t was clearly recalled that when the
/ proposal came before the commit

club deliberations, plans, campaigns
