 This is the first gear the institutes were held under state supervision and that the results were satisfactory was evidenced by the fact that at the close of every session endorsement was given by the teachers of the diff f-ent communitis Miss Toles. in speaking Of the policy which was put into effect by the fifth state legisla- ture, declared that it not only gave the counties better institute. but a less expensive one. In centraiizing the institue work. il has been possi- ble to secure the leading educators of the country on the program, and the cost has been less than that of the old-time county institutes. Under the direction of Miss Toles the sessions have been of great benefit. not only to the teachers, but tne communities as well. which have had the benefit of the exceptionally good programs
 Among the speakers who have come 10 Arizona in the interests of education have been Dr. Henry s. Curtis of Oberlin. special health edu- cator; Dr. C. o. Hoyt of the Michigan State Teachers association: Dr. Geo E. Freeland of the State Teachers College Of San Diego. and Stanford University.
 s In the opinion Of Miss Toles. excep- tionally good features Of the institute were the talks given by Miss Louise Lynd of the Tempe Normal faculty.

PHOENIX, Feb. I3.-"AIl for one and one for all~ is a new slogan which has been suggested for the Arizona industrial Congress by business man of the southern part of the state who has applied for a charter membership.

 During the past week the Indus trial Congress has mailed out several thousand letters 10 as many citizens inviting them to enroll, but officers of the organization emphasize that no invitation is needed; thar every res ident of Arizona is invited to become charter member.

During his ten years Of of flee he brought to justice many des- porados who had been operating through the country and many at tempts were made to en,rap him and take his life But John Slaughter was too quick and too wise for them to cope with and in every case he out generated his foes.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE
death toll from q series of tornadoes
and cyclones that struck various
points in Louisiana, Mississippi. Ar

early yesterday, stood today at

persons were injured, and property
damage estimated at several hundred

A summary Of the havoc compiled
today was as follows:

injured; fifty buildings demolished; i;
200 homeless.

More than $50 homes inside tie city
limits are In ruins and many others
are damaged.
Hardly a building of any kind was
left standing in the path Of the Storm
The tornado passed within two hum

whore almost a thousand pupils were
1 gathered. The building was uninjured
The buildings destroyed are about

town and negro cabins in the out

Only meager details are available
from the sections visited by the storm
on account Of the damage to wire COM

toll will be greatly increased when
complete returns are available. Little
efforts have been made to estimate the

destroyed homes and other buildings,
| include damage to crops and destruc-
tion of live stock. Rivers and smaller
streams in practically all the sections
visited by the storm. which was accom-

some apprehension Is felt on this score.

usual freaks the most outstanding of
which was reported from Kennel,

was lying across the yard, where its
