 But he threw himself into the new task with that energy which had brought him success in the more fami-. liar one and he prosecuted it to sue cess for the association, for the valley, though he shared little or none of it for himself; that is, success of a material character.
 Some years ago he left here for Los Angeles, broken in health. largely the result of the strenuous work he had done for others. His going was quite sorrowful The writer recalls that in conversation with him at that time, near the age of three score and ten: q am sorry for two reasons to leave; because of my pleasant associations here and because at my age it is diff ficult to take root in new surround ings."
 In appreciation of the great service he had performed for the valley, a movement has been under consideration to secure for Mir Fowler from the Water Users association a service pen sion in view of the very inadequate return that had been made him for ten years of work. But Mir. Fowler shrank from it because of the com parisons that would necessarily be in stituted between him and other de- serving men.

EDUCATOR
 APPROVES NEW LAWS

The recently enacted school legisla- tion of Arizona has the approval of William s. Learned of the Carnegie who left yesterday for the coast after a brief survey of the state of education. While here MT. Learned made a close study of the new laws and held a series of confer ences with Elsie Toles, state superin- tendent of public instruction, and John D. Loper, city superintendent of schools
 Particularly interested in the plan for certification of teachers and other progressive features of the laws passed by the legislature, MT. Learned ex- pressed his satisfaction in the ad- vanced method of teaching and ad- ministration of schools that will result from the passage of the bills.
 Arizona has high standard to maintain and in the opinion of MT. Learned it will raise its own high standard. He said that the splendid salaries paid, coupled with the desire of many to see the country, was re- sponsible for many teachers wanting to come west.

The Ohio boxing commission took

liberty in proclsiming Bryan Dow

referee had ruled otherwise, Jack,

"A boxing commissions function

referees are honest" said Dempsey,
ANY power they have should be
exercised before the bout: IL is too
late after the decision has been
made. When they allowed Jimmy
Gardner to be named a referee, they
indorsed him as a capable and HON

the blame for anything he did.

The Next One.
Some time ago, when Charlie Pad

gested that the next record to fall
would be the running broad jump
which had rested securely just under
25 feet for over twenty years.
That mark is now broken, and the
next big effort will be to reduce Nor
man Taber's figures for the mile.
The time isn't very far away be-
fore some stout legged and stout
hearted runner will dash off a mile
around 4:10 or 4:11.> The reduction
may not come this summer or fall
but it will come before 1922 has
passed into history.
