NEW YORK, Jan. lion the largest and most varied dealings so far this year, approxlmating 100000 shares, the stock market today strengthened it's forward movement of Monday
 In it's general aspect the advance ap- peared largely of speculative origin. Special shares in which an extensive short interest is believed to exist scored the largest gains.
 Factors which again contributed to the advance included the increased strength of foreign exchange, albeit the British rate was somewhat extended to time funds, which were in more liberal supply than at any period in six months.
 Steels, shippings, equipment and spe- cialties comprised the strongest issues Crucible again leading the list at a gain of 91b points, or a fraction more than yesterdays advance. Otherwise gains of to points were impaired i by realizing sales and the backward ness. of rails. which at no time kepi pace with the general market and closed for the most part at moderate l recessions.

I believe that these comparisons Of per capita expenditures, directed un- der like standards. are sufficient argu- ment to impress upon you the force ful fact that there is something wrong with our educational system The wrong lies, in my opinion, as I have be- fore observed, in the lack of any cen tralized authority in the expenditure Of school funds except through the To- cal school trustees, and while l ap-

 believe the time has arrived in this

 The law, where necessary. should be amended to make the state board of education responsible for the. certifi- cation of teachers. the direction of vo- cational education. and the expendit- ures therefore. and greater economy, flexibility, and efficiency of our state text book system.
 A survey made in 1918 by the Russell Sage Foundation, department of edu- cation, ranked Arizona's school system third in line of excellence. using certain educational and financial com ponents to arrive at this conclusion. It is significant, however, to note in said report that while Arizona ranks sec ond in financial components, we were placed twenty third in educational components, and while we should be justly proud of our average standing among the other states of the union, ! it is my hope and aim, assisted by your honorable body, that our position edu- cationally shall be placed more on q parity with the rank given as reflected by the moneys expended.

TOTal ..@tsoOVsoO4.Ao
 This amount of funds derived from county and state levies is considerably greater than the combined total eN- pense of all the costs of all other de- partments of our city, county and state government, excluding paving and highway construction bonds.
 It is estimated that 60eo of the coss of school maintenance is represented by teachers salaries, or approximately the total sum of S3,650,000 of the total maintenance charge for the year 1920 being charged to that account.
 Inasmuch as all teachers salaries have been increased for the present school term ending June 90, 1921, from 17qo in Santa Cruz county to .611h % in Cochise county. it can well be appreciated that the cost of conducting the common and high schools for the ensuing year will be considerably in creased, making it a necessary duty devolving upon the executive and leg fslative departments to devise some means whereby necessary economies and higher standards may be obtained
 There is a wide range in the expense of conducting schools of similar class in the various counties, towns and cities, and, without desire to make this part of my message cumbersome and lengthy reel lNdl sOAaS CoAhpo A- sons should be brought to your atten- tion.
 The per capita cost in our rura 1 schools covers a wide range, being | $69.06 in Navajo county. and S96.01 iT Gila county. Even greater is the diff ference existing in our urban schools where the per capita cost in Graham county is S46.49. while Gila county top! the whole with $105.62 per capita.
 The difference in city and towI
 schools is even more glaring, a! shown by the following table:
