Hylan Declares States
Schools Second to None
Mayor Resents Sage Founda-
toms Index Assigning Sys-
tenn 18th Place


Mayor Hylan yesterday took excep-
ton to the Russell Sage Foundation g
index of state school systems. which
puts New York thirteenth among the
states. In letter to John H. Finley
State Commissioner of Education, the
Mayor insisted that the school sys-
tenn and the teachers of this state are
second to none in the country"
The Mayor said in the letter:
The great mass of thinking mer
and women in this state who love our
schools and who have first hand infor-
nation as to the highest standard Of
excellence typifed in our school work
and in the large body Of splendidly
trained teachers who conduct It, will
strongly demur to the conclusions Of
the Russell Sage Foundation.
1T is about time that those who con-
troll this foundation should decide tc
keep out of politics and public affairs
Only short time ago, you will recall
this same foundation made severe
attack upon that branch Of our court
system which handles the litigations OF
the poor. This attack brought forth
immediate and vigorous condemnation
on all sides.
Whatever may be the particular anc
proper field Of activity for such founda
tions, they should not attempt to mix
IN or dominate political or public
affairs.
The school system and the teachers
in this state are second to none il
the whole country. Having strong
views upon this matter, deem il
proper TO call your attention to thiy
attack"
The Mayors reference to the attacl
on the poor courts appears to have
been misdirected. 1t was the Carnegie
Foundation, not the Russell Sage
which sponsored this criticism.

LOCAL MAN IN FAVOR IF WORKING
 ON BAD ROADS AND NUT TALKING

River which had absolutely not a yes tige of rubber above the rims and the other three were badly cheWed. Rocks and ruts and more rocks and ruts and the whole thing absolutely unneces- sary! Once in a while and at consid
 erable expense this stretch of the road
 is put in excellent condition only to be allowed to go to pieces. All of this road is not in Maricopa county. In fact something like fifteen miles of the worst of it is in Yavapai. It seems to me that if a few men were stationed at intervals of about 15 miles with proper equipment the road could be readily maintained just as the Senator road out of Prescott is maintained. This is a scenic highway some 16 miles in length with plenty of grades and curves. One man stationed at Groom Creek 8 miles out keeps this road boulevard and there is probably more rainfall at Groom Creek station than any other spot in Arizona. I stayed there 21 days last summer and saw 19 rainstorms but there was never a day that one could not run into Prescott in 20 minutes and do it with the great

 Now as to the Wickenburg Skull Valley route. l tried that once and said never again" The trouble on that road is that the country between Phoenix and Morristown is subject to cloudbursts and that stretch of the road is usually more or less noneX- istent by the middle of August. 1 started from home on West Adams street one morning at o'clock and it took me until noon to get to Morris town l spent that night a few miles l beyond Congress Junction and the next night on the summit of Copper Basin Hill. I said ''never again"
 I spent an hour and a half on the | first hill out of Congress Junction get ting the car out of deep ruts that it was impossible to keep out of There are one or two bad grades this side of | Wfckenburg and then there's Copper Basin Hill. Some Grade I don't know how long it is but it seems end | less and straight up.

 I forgot to mention pipperina of a hill a few miles out of Skull Valley. | That hill when hit it was cut up by ore teams hauling ore from Prieta at the foot of Copper Basin hill to Skull Valley.

 Now this is all merely preface. We hear all about a paved road to Cali fornia. Fine! Let's encourage all the money in the state to take itself to California. Those Californians need it.. In fact they have been relying on it for so many years that they probably have a vested right in it by now. But [ wonder if 1t would not do nearly as well to See Arizona first and spend few hard earned home dollars at home where they might accidentally drift back. There are lots of valley people who like to go north in sum- mer and there are lots of northern peo- pie who like to come to the valley in winter. Valley money spent north is liable to drift back and is there any thing in Southern California as good as the pine forests around Flagstaff2 As the San Francisco Peaks or the Grand Canyon? And what's the mat ter with Lake Mary. Mormon Lake. Stoneman Lake, Oak Creek Canyon, Montezuma's Castle and Well. Natural Bridges. Cliff Dwellings. etc and so on almost adinfinitum not to mention the Painted Desert2 Is there any summer climate more delightful than that of Northern Arizona and are there any people more hospitable and altogether more likable than the people around Flagstaff?

Phoenix. Ariz.. May 24. 1920 Editor Republican.
 Dear Sir: I read with interest the article in Sundays paper on the rela- tive merits CD of the Black Canyon and Wickenburg routes to Prescott The writer is one of some thousands who have formed the northern Arizona habit and has been "a still small voice crying in the wilderness" for several years and he is more than pleased to see some publicity given to the condi- tion of these roads CD.
 The Black Canyon road is undoubt- edly the logical route to Prescott for the reason that it is shorter and for the further reason that it offers better grades. The road is usually in very fair shape from Phoenix to about New River. where the travellers troubles begin. Here comes a series of short and often steep grades which continue for about 9 miles until Rumble Bee is reached. From there on the going is good. the grades long and easy.

 C. J. Nephler. Mir Masten's aide fol several years, has been appointed to general sales manager. Both AIr. Masten and Mir. Nephler have assumeQ the duties of their new positions.
 The advancements have caused ia vorabIe comment and feeling through out the Oakland organization and branches for they are further proof o1 men already in the organization for the bigger positions, rather than to import outside talent The wisdom of this policy is stressed at this time because of the extensive and enlarged produc- tion plans of Oakland which call for familiarity with the corpora ton in di- rection and execution.
