EDUCATE THE CHILD
Cheaper To Send Boy To School
Than To Jail Him

Jail him, said DR.. Arthur {. Perry.
district superintendent OF schools
at New York City and lecturer on
school administration at New York
University, at the second aEpuaI
educational conference at Ohio
State University here today. "Bru-
tally framed, that is the one con-
yincing answer to the man who
asks. why he should share the bur-
den of educating his neighbours
children in whom he has no inter
est" added DR.. Perry. Whether
he realizes it or not, he has a very
real interest in these children. II
Is of vital concern to him whether
as he meets them he meets civiliz-
ed, decent, orderly people or ILL.,
telates, mendicates or cut threats.
His school tax is the premium he
pays for his policy OF insurance ag-
ainst social chaos.
1.-THE principal Of the public
school is meeting one of his re-
sponsibilities II his relationships
with the people of his community
are such as to make them ardent
proponents of the cause of public
education.
when the principal has grown
to be chief servitor he has become
the leading citizen. When every
teacher knows him as a resource
full friend, then is he the servant
Of his subordinates. When he is
sought by the perlexed parent and
The faltering pupil for counsel,
then is he the servant OF the COM
munity." ....

Ar irving at the sheriff'S office, the re- porter found Grants two stories dumped out of d gunny-sack, where they squirmed and wrigglcd across the floor.
 "Fine!" says he. Here's a Smoki story. Where'd you get 'em?" In formation was given, and represent tative of the Way Out West gather ed the snakes up and replaced them ill the gunny-sack, in which they were carried up to the Yavapai club to join the monster collection of rep tiles with which the Smokis will per form the weird and cruel ceremonies taught them ages aga by Myan4i the IRainmaker.

(From Saturdays DaiIy)

Putting men back in useful pursuits and subtracting them from the. roster of helpless dependents is the job of St. Luke's Home, Canon Bertrand R. Cocks yesterday told the Rotary club. Mir. Cocks arrived the night before with the patients of the Phoe- nix home, who are now installed at St. Luke's In the Mountains, where they will enjoy the cool breczes and the wonderful healing air of Yavapai.
 The plan on which St. Luke's has been built, and on which 1t has grown from an initial expenditure of $6,000 to an institution that owns three establishments and cares for scores of unfortunates, is to rehabili- tate the disabled. All this activity costs money, but the money does not come from the persons benefited They are cared for at an astonishing ly small expense, but they arc cn- couraged to learn how 10 get well and to re-establish themselves as pro ductive members of society.
 Moral as well as financial support is desired by Stj Luke's, Canon Cocks, the fiscal head of the institu- ton, was assured by Chairman Harry of the Rotary, club that he would gel some of both sorts here.

 TO WAY OUT WEST
(From Frloay's Daily)

Gentry Brothers si-curious pccrade may have been headed by a shiny automobile, and a mile long and all that, but the final, classy and sensa- tional feature of it was the Way Out West wagon.
 Tn the cage, immediately behind the two merry undcrtakers, were more snakes than have been seen to- gcther ill Prescott since January l, 1915.
 Assisting in showing off the snakes were two white men, done over in imitation of the Smoki, who will be here to perform with their own brands of reptiles as an adjunct to the Way Out West show. June 9.
 It was hoped that the management could get a couple of real Snoki to present a little 'pre-view' of their weird and horrible ceremonial to the favored denisens of Prescott, but the great high chief sent back word that no Smoki would be seen outside ot Smoki Mesa until the very las moment.
 So, good as they were, those In dians were not real. It is admitted that in many respects they wer' wonderful snake -charmers. But thel do not begin to show the splendol and the terror that the real Smok go through in their annual rail prayer ceremonial The actualitie must be waited for-it is only week now until the Way Out West
