ABOUT YOUR, COUNTY PAPER
Some Reasons Why Subscription
Price does not Come Down
and Cannot Now.

A few persons have recently asked
, us why we do not reduce the price of
the Chronicle. We will state the
main reasons:
First, this business does not receive
the advertising patronage that is
necessary to enable US to reduce the
cost to the subscriber. Some people
seem to have the idea that it does not
pay to advertise in the home paper
that i ID by the very people who
At -H'Ze the home merchant. Those
Sill -lple will patronize some
scneme hat is new, such as having
an airplane fly over the town with
the view to bringing man ypeople to
town. That was tried here recently
and if any merchant who patronized
it viii say to us that he sold enough
more goods on that day that the profit
amounted to what the expense was,
we will give him FREE a five-inch
double colum ad in the Chronicle.
We were informed that the airship
people took away from our town $Iss.
Does any one believe for a moment
that the merchants of the town were
benefited one-fifth of that amount.
We all know they were not. The pat
ronizing of such and similar adver-
tising schemes is a dead waste and
discourages the home merchant from
placing his advertising in the home
paper.
Other reasons why subscription
rates cannot come down are We are
having to pay twice as much for ready
prints, one and half times as much
freight, about the same in posatge
md two and half times as much Tor
abor as we did when the paper sold
or $I.oo. The labor problem is the
leaviest increase in expense we have
md we see no hope of reduction.
Taking all things into consideration
We make less profit from the paper
low than we did when it sold for
me dollar a year
Again in order to get out the best
ossible paper we could under present
onditions, several thousand dollar.
ave been addel to the equipment,
nd we are constantly adding such
hings as cost and means will per-
lit to the end that the standard of the
aper may be kept at the highest
oint possible. If you feel that the
hronicle is not holding up and keep
lg little ahead of other conditions,
ompare the Chronicle with papers
'om adjoining counties, notice the
mount of advertising they carry as
with the Chronicle and then
otce the amount of reading matter
le Chronicle gives as compared with
Ie other paper. Then examine the
after they all publish and see how
uch of it is real home news and how
uch consists of letters from distant
ates that are of interest to only a
w, or other reading matter that
ould be Just as interesting if read
a daily or six months later or earl
r. We believe that comparison will
nd to make you have higher ap-
eciation of the Chronicle.
We regret that conditions will not
rmit a reduction in the subscription
ice of the Chronicle now, but we
all reduce the price as soon as con-
ions will permit

Origin and Growth Of The
 Present Day High School

became a part of the curriculum in the high school, then history shortly after found its place in a high school program. Not until early the twen- tieth century did educators realize that there were other and more prac- tical things that should be taught boys and girls who were attending high school. Now an up-to date high school offers in its curriculum of four years study all the branches that pre- pare for college entrance, and, in ad- dition, the choice of pre-vocational, commercial and agricultural studies. We are just discovering that there is another step to be taken, and that is to add two years more to a four years of high school, in order to pre- pare the boys and girls for the pro- fessional studies of the university or for their life work. This demand is gradually being filled by the organi- zation of junior colleges.
 It is not ours to boast Of the Phoe- nix union high school as an institu- tion of secondary education in this fair Salt River valley that ranks favorably with the best high schools of the state of California. At a meet ing of the State Teachers associa- tion in our city, but a week ago. Will c. Wood, commissioner of education
 
 for the state of California, in an ad- dress outlined his ideals of a good high school curriculum. Upon ex- animation of our own courses of study we found that we met, in near ly every respect, the ideal plan given by Mir. Wood. We have also added to our four years of high school two ad ditional years of junior college work We are offering as electives in our high school, industrial, agricultural commercial and home economics courses.
 That the people of Phoenix and vi- cinity may in full understand the | equipment. the buildings and the fac ulty of their high school, the board | of education invites parents of school | children, tax payers and others in- | terested in the educational affairs oi our city to set aside next Thursday | afternoon for visit to the higt | school. Beginning at 5:30 that after noon, the people of Phoenix are in vited to take dinner at the cafeteria of the high school, in cafeteria style as the students are served to theil | lunches every day, in order that they may see the kind of food, the cost O. | food, and the manner of service tha
 their beys and girls roceive. Int | charges for the dinner will be reg. ular cafeteria prices. The people wht finish their dinner will then be con ducted through the various buildings
 of the high school that they may set | what a recent bond issue has pro duced in the form of a liberal art building and an industrial arts build ing and their full equipment. TheI at 7:30 we hope to entertain the peo pie in the auditorium with a shor program. Such a visit to the higl school should give our citizens fat | knowledge of our facilities. To offe them more, however. we invite par ents of high school students to yisi . classes on Friday. Dec. 9.

By D. F. Jantzen, Principal P. U. H. s.
 In an article in the morning paper on Monday the Rev. G. D. Yoakum called attention to the fact that so many people were ignorant of our educational system. And, after all, the biggest business that any parent could have is the education of boys and girls. Will the reader bear with me, therefore, if I give a brief resume of the origin of the high school?
 It is just exactly 100 years since the first high school was organized in Boston. Mass. There had been in stitutions of secondary education be- fore that time in Europe. Those in- stitutions were the Latin grammar schools and the academies. In our own country we had the private acad- emies that dated back from the year 1751 with Franklin's academy in Philadelphia. These academies met the needs of the wealthy people. They were institutions privately en- dowed, and were, therefore, charging tuition to meet expenses. The rich were getting the benefit of the work offered in these academies and the poor had to do without academic in struction.
 Massachusetts, always in the lead in educational matters, was the first one, therefore, to establish a free public high school in 1921. With the academy firmly entrenched, however 1t was a very slow process of estab- | fishing high school in other places | In those early days people objected to taxation for educational purposes and there were but few high schools established until after 1850. By au- thority of pr. E.. F. Cubberley, quoted i, f.DNY- ffala 1V | the United States in the year 1850 | 60S5 private academies. These, to- | gether with the question of taxation | for public schools, were antagonistiC | to the establishment of a free public | high school, but in spite of this op- | position the largest cities provided | for them, and in 1872 the question oi | taxation for public high schools was | once and for all, settled in the court: of Michigan, in the famous Kalama- zoo case. The court ruled that tht | people had right to decide that the,
 could be taxed for secondary educa'
 tion and higher education, as well a.
 for elementary education. Since 1850 therefore, the number of high schools in the United States has increase(
 rapidly, and statistics show that il 1916 there were 12,000 high schools il | the United States. That number hai been largely augmented in the pas | five years. The free public higl I school is a distinctly American insti tuition.
 Originally the academy, and thel
 it's successor, the public high school
 was intended to furnish education be
 yond the grades in the classica
 languages of Latin and Greek, and il
 geography, in mathematics and il
 English grammar. A three-yea
 course was all that was at first ad
 vocated by the educators. Whel

EDISON TONE-TEST ARTISTS DELIGHTED
 BY RECEPTION HERE

'It Is an inspiration to an artist to have such an audience as that which greeted us Monday evening. The wish of MT. Phillips and Mir. George as well as myself is that our audience was as well-pleased as we were"
 In these words, Miss Helen Clark, contralto, of the Edison Laboratories, expressed her enthusiasm over the appreciation shown by Phoenicians of the marvellous art Of voice re-crea- tion. Miss Clark, Joseph Phillips and Thomas George gave music lovers of Phoenix real treat and incidentally brought home to those who have fol- lowed the efforts of Thomas Edison man voice by mechanical means the realization that the great scientist has nearly reached his goal.
 Our audience showed that fine re- sponsiveness that delights. the heart of the artist" declared Miss Clark. 'We were accorded a reception that we will not forget soon and Phoenix occupies a warm place in our hearts. I think MT. Newland is entitled to great credit for the excellent ar- engagements he made for the tone test and the splendid manner in which he handled the details. We have fallen in love with your state and your city, and in the short time that we have been here have made many friends. I trust that we shall have | the opportunity of returning to Phoe- nix in the near future"
 MT. George and MT. Phillips were equally warm in their praise of their reception in this city. Both spoke of the response accorded their efforts MT. Phillips was a visitor to Phoenix several years ago and repeatedly ex- pressed his surprise at the growth oi the community. The outstanding feature of the West that appealed tc MT. George is the fact that the trains upon which he has travelled have not been held up even once. That he has l been disillusioned concerning the | West holds first place in his mind
 T shall tell them just how fal | ahead of the trend of the times you | Western people are" he declared. q believe you appreciate music fal more deeply than the people of the East. "One reason, I suppose, is tha l you live more in the open out her, I and have the great outdoors as al inspiration. There seems to be, liter ally, music in the air out here"
 The three artists started their tou in Calgary, Canada, and have been oi the road 14 weeks. From Calgar. they travelled west, reaching the Pa
 cific coast and singing in cities il
 Washington, Oregon and California
 They left Phoenix Tuesday night fo
 Winslow where they held a concer
 last night, and will go from there t
 Prescott, where a performance vii
 be given this evening. From Pres colt they will go directly to New Yorl
 via the Santa Fe and Pennsylvani
 lines.

quences. We have been training our city man for all his activities and un- til recently the country man for none of his. We have been teaching men to practice law, to conduct banks, to lay bricks, but we have hitherto asked the country man to grope amid na- lures mysteries without a ray of light.
 If our cities grew great under this treatment while the country fell backward, let us not be blind to the cause nor hesitate at it's correction in agricultural education.
 Looking into the future and see ing country life as it will develop un- der training, I see a field into which science has gathered all that is good and banished most that is i'll.
 I see farm houses filled with fruits of wealth and culture and moral pur pose, set amid the dignity and sweet ness of nature. the kind of homes which shelter strong clean and effec- tive men. and which natures a youth fit for all the trials of life. equipped for effective industry and the kind of citizenship which this great democ- racy demands.

SUGGESTS SAVINGS
 STAMPS FUR XMAS

Opportunities offered for investing savings in thrift and war savings stamps is one of the features of American Education week. Which which Elsie Toles, state superinten- dent of public instruction, is advanc- ing
 Miss Toles suggests the desirability of tbese very safe and profitable little securities as particularly sensible Christmas gifts.
 She has advised superintendents and teachers to present the advan- tages to the pupils of the school of buying enough of these stamps to complete the cards and folders only partially filled with the series of 1921 stamps, which will be discontinued at the end of the year.
 Miss Toles yesterday received noti- fication from Theodore Hardee, di- rector for the twelfth federal reserve district. that the treasury and post office department are now arranging a closely co-ordinated working plan for 1922 looking toward the propaga- tion of thrift practice by the public through small deposits in postal say ings banks and eventual investment of these funds in treasury savings certificates of s25 and S100 denomina- tsons, when sufficient deposits have accuInuldleu Aor such pulCiaSeS'

"Some radical changes from the present procedure were de- cided upon, formal announcement of which will be made in the near future l by the Washington authorities. I will then acquaint you fully as to the basis of next years operations. with | a view of securing your much es- l teemed cooperation among the l schools"
