Give the Bright Pupils a
Chance.

In considering the question of
regarding pupils in the schools
so that those who have the ability
to advance rapidly will be ac-
corded the opportunity to do so,
the board of education has taken
a long step in advance. Under
the present system the progress
Of the grade, like the progress of
a fleet, is determined by capacity
of it's slowest member. Conse-
quently the bright pupil is held
back by his more stupid fellow.
This problem has long been
studied in the colleges, where it
is no less perplexing than in the
schools, and the board of educa-
ton would do we'll to study their
attempts for its solution. In re-
cent years several Of the larger
universities have instituted spec
ial courses for So called honor
men with advanced instruction
and rapid advancement. In this
way not only were the bright
students granted the chance to
go forward, but they were not
subjected to the same dull round
of classroom drilling.
Whether a similar plan would
be feasible for the public schools
experiment alone would deter
mine. That it would make for
efficiency there can be no doubt,
and since the time of graduation
for the best pupils would be ma
terially cut down, the expense
should not prove prohibitive.
Certainly the present system
of herding children together
without regard to mental differ
ences is crude and unscientific in
the extreme. 1t tends to the
creation of mediocrity. to lost
time and lost opportunities, The
schools should give the bright
pupils chance. Tucson Star.

copper in 1922 having been considerably
In excess of the previous year" was
the statement made last night by Pres
ident Charles S. Smith of the Old Do
mlnlon company.
'Some copper producers were rather
skeptical of the outcome when the cop
per market became very active the lat
ter part of February, and the price ad-
vanced from IA cents to II cents per
pound. The rise came SO suddenly that
in some quarters runaway market
was feared
There is enormous consumption of
copper in the building trade, activity in
which was never before so widespread
or on such large scale. The demand
for the metal in the electrical, brass
and other industries also is very large.
The Anaconda Copper company started
the manufacture of copper shingles as
an experiment, and it has proved so
successful that now Anaconda is finding
it difficult to supply the demand for
the shingles Mr.. Smith said.

The Arizona State Miners ex-

every one of its readers. Hence,
we are again running much of
the same story which it contained
with a full account of the fea-

about on their cayuses and mus

World championship bronco
riders who have won prizes all
over the earth find Wickenburg
an ideal winter home, and here
they congregate on their native
heath, where their idealism runs
strong. Wickenburg has long
been their favorite stamping
ground, where they winter with
their herds, making the long

drives each season from summer
feeding grounds in Northern Ari-
zona to get back to their breed
ing grounds and winter homes.
This paper could name many very
prominent cattle growers of Ari-
zona from j. B. Mullen.of Skull
Valley, for years president of the
Arizona Cattle Growers Associa-
ton. to a hundred smaller cattle
men who have herds in Wicken-
burg and vicinity.
For four years the climax of
all spring round-ups, branding
and it's attendant duties, have
centered in the frontier sports
produced by our resident cattle
owners and Wickenburg people
in what has been appropriately
termed "Wickenburg's Wild
West" 1t is the elimination of
cowboy idealism in a spirit of
rivalry for place and precedent
in those lines of professional en-
deavor which distinguish the ex-
pert roper, rider, and contestants
in range sports from the ordin-
ary, quiet, unobtrusiye herders:
There is keen rivaly and good
sportsmanshlp among the con-
testants who come here annually
and enjoy their cowboy reunion.
There is no disposition to com
mercialize" or make money out
of the event. Each entrant pays
in his fee and the total is cut up
according to rules of the sport.
The arena is without fence Or
enclosure where all are welcome.
A small admission price is col
lected for music and incidentals.
Hence, every year on st. Pat
rlck's Day. co-incident with the
Wickenburg Volunteer Fire De-
partment boys, a joint celebra-
tion has served to attract visitors
and contestants to Wickenburg.
A splendid arena with corrals,
water, feeding grounds, and con-
veniences for handling wild
mavericks, horses. steers, and
animals used in producing these
exhibitions are now all ready for
the big event which promises to
be the best ever seen in Arizona.
All in all there are some big
events surprising today, and Wis
itors, many of whom are here
are highly jubilant over the out
look for tomorrow. Let 'er
Buck"
Several hundred visitors from
various parts of the state, many
in autos, were spectators of the
sports this afternoon. A brass
band of eight pieces was present
and assisted to make things mer-
ry and joyous. Doc Pardee was
present and assisted by his hum
orous drollery to keep the crowd
in a good humor. Much enthus-
iasm and frequent applause were
apparent as the events trans
PRED!
In the Sunday events there was
more ginger and pep manifested
than the day previous which had
a noticeable effect on both spec
tators and contestants, Many
ludicrous incidents not on the
program occurred. Slim Abbott
in bulldogging his animal, made
a pretty dive from his horse and
threw his animal in about 10 sec
onds, but the bull went down on
one shoulder and was on his feet
while Slim had his hands in the
air. He was disqualified.
'Dud" Thomas rode a bull,
and then turned around on it and
rode backwards on Sunday.
Pete DAVIS rode his bull for a
few seconds on Sunday, but the
bull thot turn about was fair
play and Pete, unable to carry
the bull, bit the dust.
Cheyenne Kiser on the second
day gave an exhibition of bronco
riding that won favor when he
tackled the most unruly broncho
in the outfit and successfully
rode him.
