1t has been found necessary to make
many changes in the original plan for
an "Open School Night" on the oc-
casion of the regular monthly meeting
Of the Newark Parent Teacher Assoc
iation, Thursday, April 9Th. AS an
nounced in last weeks Post, the few
rooms wired for evening use in the
Newark School are occupied every
Thursday evening by the American
ization classes. Accordingly, it will
be necessary to hold the demonstra-
ton classes, announced as a part of
the evening program, in the after
noon, in the regular elias rooms of
the primary and grammar school
in the evening by the meeting at the
High School when Miss Bamberger
of Johns Hopkins University will ex-
plain in a popular way the value of
the methods demonstrated in the
school room.
The Parent-Teacher Association
wants Newark people to get acquaint-
ed with their public schools, to see
how the teaching is done. to hear the
teachers reason for teaching in Just
this way presented; it wants them
then to decide whether or not the
primary and grammar grades of New
ark are serving intelligently the needs
of present day children. But how
many people are interested enough to
make two trips to the school building?
Certainly what the committee asks the
public to do is inconvenient, but the
Inconvenience which adults will ex-
perience in attending one sectional
Parent-Teacher meeting, is but an in
finitesimal part of the Inconvenience
experienced every day of the week
by teachers and children on account
of out of date school buildings. For
detailed program of the meeting on
Thursday evening, see page one of
this paper.
Ide G. Sergeant, one of the speakers
at the State Parent-Teacher Conven-
tion to be held in Harrington, April
Sth, has story to tell which is pert
inent to Newark's problems. The
delegation to which the association is
to the school in 1908, Mr.. Sergeant
organized an alumni association. A
few years later, he organized an i'm
provement association, the latter tax
ing the form of a Parent-Teacher
Association. "As a result of the or

tiOns", he declared to the Writer a
few days ago, eve were able in 1918
to move into a new fifty room school
building which has been declared by
DR.. Strayer of Columbia, one of the
finest school buildings in the United
States"
Mr.. Sergeant, at his school, day by
day. is furnishing a striking illustra-
ton of what a modern school building
may mean to a community. "The
school must build community con-
science in regard to public needs and
public affairs generally, a conscience
commensurate with the conscience
which best people of America live by
in theri private life'. Such is Mr..
Sargeant's working standard His
school has become, literally, the social
center of all neighborhood life. The
building is at the service of the people
day and night. Among its habitues
are representatives of thirty nations.
Here, at least, they have found the
real America-that opportunity of
which they have heard for everyone.
The school has a school nurse who
spends certain hours in the building.
and reserves other hours for visit
ing in the homes of the children. The
nurse also holds baby welfare clinics
in one of the school rooms, to which
the mothers come. 1t has a dentist
with assistants, and a completely
equipped office which is open to the
children of the neighborhood six days
of the week for twelve months of the
year. 1t has a splendid equipped
gymnasium with two physical instruc-
tors, one man and one woman, at the
service of the community from 8.15
in the morning until $50 at night.
The school has cleaned the loafers off
the street corners, residents of the
community declare. 1t gives a weekly
moving picture show and dance in the
school auditorium in addition to many
dramatic entertainments. One of the
most interesting features of the school
is the continuation classes for the ben
eft of boys and girls over fourteen
who have been forced to stop school
to work in the mills. For these, there
are classes of all kinds. There is a
completely equipped printing depart
ment and carpenter shop, business

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.-Three of the 5 alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan on trial on felony charges growing out of a raid at Inglewood last April, testified today that they took part in the raid, believing it to be a lawful enterprise for the pur- pose of securing evidence of illicit sale of liquor.

 Waite asserted that two days be- fore the raid, he purchased liquor at the residence of Fidel and Matias Elduayen, who were seized by the raiders.
 Jennings said the raid was plan ned as a result of reports that boys and girls were being dcbauched by liquor sold at a bootlegging resort

BAR LE DUG, France, Aug. 21.-
 France is firmly determined to make
 Germany pay for the devastation she caused in the war and rather than depart from this fixed intention she will act alone, Premier Poincare de- clared at the opening meeting of the general council of the department of the Mouse today in a speech general ly regarded as the complete official declaration Of the French separations policy.
 The necessity and justice of the payment of reparations by Germany were emphasized by the French pre- mier, who placed the blame for the present situation on the attitude of the commission on separations and the failure of Great Britain to under stand the desperate plight Of her all lies and the need for the payment of the indemnity.
 NJ. Poincare recited figures in an effort to prove that Germany was re- sponsible for her own collapse and had deliberately failed to live IF to the demands of the separations com mission. He vigorously denied that France sought to enslave Germany in revenge for the devastation of war

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 21.- Sweeping investigation of all ques- tions bearing on the coal industry as urged by President Harding ill an address to congress was called for in bill introduced today by Chair man Winslow of the house interstate commerce committee and which may be rushed through the house tomor- row under suspension of the rules
 For three hours the committee worked today on what Winslow de- scribed as perfecting amendments. Its labor had not been completed tonight and another session will be held to- morrow morning. No sharp differ ences,. of opinion developed, it was said, and it is the hope of republican members of the committee to have the bill ready for the house by noon.
 Briefly the bill would provide for creation of a commission of nine members, none to be members of the house or the senate, to get facts bearing on the coal industry and to submit its first report with recom- mendations to the president not later than January l next. It makes no provision for appointments of repre- sentatives of miners or operators on the commission.

CITY ASKED FOR A STRIP
 OF LAND NEAR THE FARMS

The county highway commission yesterday asked the city of Prescott for deed to a strip of land 66 feet wide and five miles long near the Farms on which part of the Pres cott-Ash Fork link of the state high way is to be built Did you know that the city of Prescott owned any such piece of land? Well, it does. It is a part of the strip occupied by the Del Rio pipe line.
 There is road over this strip of land and it IS the city's own road. The highway commission did not want to appropriate the city's road and hence made the polite as well as legal request for a deed to a right of way for that much of the new state and county highway to Ash Fork
 There are reasons why one would expect that the city of Prescott would willingly grant said right of way readily, and one of them is that it does not hurt the city to have plenty of good roads, and another one is that it surely will not hurt the city any to have an excellent pike along the pipe line over which supplies and material can be hauled for re- pairs.
 The matter was submitted to City Attorney Gale, and if no legal en- tanglement arises, it would be a safe guess that the city will gladly grant the deed for road purposes.

What action the east erh group, which includes several of the most powerful lines will finally pursue was not indicated, those at tending the meeting asserting they had been pledged to secrecy. The only comment was made by L. F.. Loree, presideIss of the Delaware X Hudson and chairman of the confer ence, who issued a statement setting forth that Atlantic coast roads which normally employ 161,339 shopmen, had brought their forces up to 7l.5 per cent of that figure on August IS. This represented an increase of 2.5 per cent over the week ending August II, the statement indicated.
 Led the Opposition
 Roads represented at the confer ence were those which led the op- position when the national body of rail chiefs Rejected President Hard ing's two proposals for ending the strike by submitting the seniority issue to the railroad labor board. MT. Loree saying that he spoke for him self alone, later made the following statement:
 You can quote me as saying l stand where I have stood from the start-solidly against any surrender, and it is a surrender on the part of the roads to give back the strikers their seniority"

 fought out to a finish on the floor.
 Several substitute measures have been proposed and many amendments to the committee draft are promised. All of these are expected to lead to more or less prolonged discussion. 1 After the bonus is passed by the Senate-and the general belief at the capitol is that 1t will go through finally by a substantial majority-it would in the usual course be sent to conference for the composing of diff ferences between the senate and house. In that event, 1t would be handled by the same conference com mittee to which the tariff measure was referred this week, with little prospect that it would receive atten- ton until after the committee had completed its work on the tariff.

 If De Valera or his forces were granted the present funds in Ameri- can banks, the free state representa- tives contend, it would be devoted to the carrying on of further revolu- t1ons against the present government and prolong needless and unjustifi- able civil war in a country which has expressed by the ballot its preference for the Irish free state form of gov ernment.

 BATTLES ON
 TARIFF NEAR
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 21.- The house got the administration tariff bill back from the senate today but did not send 1t to conference. This next step in the now long drawn-out journey of the measure must await reprinting of the amend ed bill which is expected to be com .pleted tomorrow or Wednesday. The .experts had hoped to have it ready today but they found the senate had made so many and such complicated changes in the original house bill that their task proved far more diff ficult than they had anticipated.
 When the reprint is ready repub- lican house leaders plan to send the measure to conference under a special rule which may permit of little or no discussion on the floor. At the same time the house con ferees will be named and they will have their first session with the sen ate managers probably on Thursday as Chairman McCumber of the sen ate committee expects to be occupied in the senate Wednesday with the soldier bonus bill
 House Has a Quorum
 In anticipation of acting on the tariff, the house had a quorum today for the first time since it reassem- bled last week As the measure was not laid before the house that body went ahead with other work.

CUT |S OUTCOME
 IF APPLYING
 COURT ORDER

Reduction of Yavapai county
 taxes to the basis of a rate of 49
 cents on each S10O of assessed val
 uation yesterday followed the re-
 receipt of word from State Auditor
 Charles w. Fairfield that $101,-
 335.e6 of the S365,OOo rail bond
 fund could be immediately avail
 able for county use.
 This cut followed a reduction
 announced in the Journal-Miner
 Sunday as a 1922 tax rate of 57
 cents, which was 3.6 cents lower than the rate of year ago.
 By reason of the a5aition of the S101, ,000 to the county funds this year, the board was able to grant request from the United Verde and United Verde Extension, backed by the highway commission, to de- vote S15,000 of the road fund to necessary finishing work on cer- tain of the bond issue roads, with out raising the budget cent.
 When Arizona became a state granted a million acres of land to be sold or rented to pay off he bonds three of the counties had ssued for the purpose of building a railroad. The railroad never was ouilt but the counties had to pay for it. Since statehood, the sale and -ental of this bond land built up a und of $365,00O which is still grow ng. A year and a half ago, Yava- 1ai county learned Of the amount in he fund and started to get action, with the result that after a suit had gone clear through to the state su- oreme court, the fund was ordered divided at once. That is why Yava- oai county now gets $1O1,OOO. As ime goes on 1t will draw further u1ns from this fund.
 As a result of the inclusion of the S101,000 in the county budget, it will ,e possible this year to reduce the ax rate from the GOO cents of last year to 49 cents. This IS a saving of .1.6 cents on each $100 of assessed -aluation, or 19.1 per cent.
 The state tax rate, announced a hort time ago, is 51 cents, a reduc- ion of g cents over a year ago. Thus, the combined state and county ax rate for 1922 will be exactly $1.
 Under this arrangement, residents # Prescott, which is in school dis rict No. l, will pay taxes at the rate # $2.15H on each $l0O.
