standpoint, according to all who have
had anything to do with its erection
and many educators who have seen it,
in any city OF this size in the west.
To build it the school district voted
$275,0O0 in bonds. But the school
board, with the cooperation of the
city school superintendent, John q.
Thomas, have made a remarkable rec
ord in connection with the building Of
the school. Not only have they more
than 90 acres Of ground as site, or
five to ten times as much as contem-
plated when the bonds were voted, but
they have kept the cost Of the land,
building and complete equipment
and there is positively nothing lacking
j in conveniences in either building or
equipment-down to S65,000 less than
the amount placed at their disposal
by the taxpayers!
So, that is another record Flagstaff
hangs up, hereby notes, and challenges
any other city in the country to du-
plicate.
Emerson Grade School
Emerson grade school was built in
1895. That is, part Of it was II the
front part. 1t was then two stories
high, same as now, with four class
rooms downstairs and the upper story
unfinished. D. Nj. Riordan was at
that time the active spirit on the city
school board and people said he was
crazy to build a school that size. Why,
drat it all! They couldn't grow enough
in SO years to fill it, However, it
was not many years before the upper
story had to be finished, and then,
about II years ago, it was practically
doubled in capacity by building big
two-story addition at the rear. Five
years ago, with the Normal school
| handling the high school pupils, and
in spite of the fact that about five
years earlier than that Brannen
school with three class-roons had been
rented south Of the tracks, Emerson
school was not large enough and the
basement had to be enlarged and a
lot of partitioning done to take care
of the classes. There are 13 class
rooms, assembly room, library, special
class rooms and offices in the build
ing.
Brannen school, to accommodate
children south of the tracks, was for
merly a Catholic church. 1t still is
parish property.
Then, just to indicate little more
fully how false the prophets were who
scored Mr.. Riordan, the Normal train
ing school is taking care of scores of
the smaller school children of the
city.
Incidentally, Mrs. b. s. Kennedy,
principal of Emerson school, taught
there when it was opened, in the fall
Of 1895, the year before she was mar
| ried.

GERONIMO OVERRATED,
DECLARES REVENUE MAN

That Geronimo, famous Indian war
rior, was vastly overrated as a great
chieftain is the opinion of Charles 7.
Connell, United States internal rev.
enue inspector at Los Angeles and
former resident of Arizona and inti-
mate of the famous aborigine. In an
article recently published Connell de-
clares Geronimo's reputation was
"madeD by Arizona newspapers and
correspondents during the Apache
outbreaks from 1881 to 1886 because
of his selection by General Crook as
the most pliable emissary to treat
with in conciliating with the Indians.
Geronimo and his band, according
to Connell, was credited with every
piece of banditry and outlawry in New
Mexico, Arizona and southern Neva-
da, regardless of whether or not he
participated in the affair and, as a
result, a, great many pieces of daring
bravery and Indian strategy, credited
to the warrior, We're wrongfully plac-
ed to his credit. The fact is, Connell
said, that there were not less than
eight separate Apache tribes and
bands who waged war and committed
depredations and only three of these
were definitely associated with Ger
onimo or under his leadership in the
state, according to the article by Con-
nell

Mrs. T. e. Pollock, was built, likewise
the heating plant.
The second state legislature in 1915
appropriated money for the building
Of another dormitory for women,
Campbell hall, named for Mrs. Hugh
Campbell, widow of the late Senator
Campbell, who did so much for the
institution during the last session Of
the legislature, though at that time
suffering from a disease which later
cost him his life.
In 1917, the beautiful Ashurst aud
itorium, named for Senator Ashurst,
was built, and i'm 1919 funds were
made available for the excellent new
training school. Since the completion
Of the training school, no further
buildings have been added, except rs
summer cottages and a dairy barn,
which is just now being completed.
The Normal training school, first
occupied in February, 1921, is mod

LEGION SERVICE WORK
TRANSFERRED TO WASHINGTON

Headquarters for American Legion
service work for disabled World War
veterans will soon be removed to
Washington, d. c., to conform with
the Legion's plan of decentralization
of such activities to parallel the work
Of the United States Veterans bu-
reau. The Washington office will act
as clearing house for fourteen com
mittees which conform to the fourteen
district offices of the Veterans bu-
reau. The Legion's action was taken
by direction of the fifth annual Lee
gion convention to establish closer
contact with disabled veterans and to
expedite claims through the bureau.
The national rehabilitation committee
Of the Legion, which has operated
separately from the Legion's head
quarters service division, has been lo-
Gated at Washington for nearly a
year.
District rehabilitation committees
will be appointed at conferences of
Legion department (state) command
ers, and each district chairman will
become a member of the national
committee. The legion mains, with
the aid of the Red Gross, a liason rep
resentative in each district of the
veterans bureau, and each of these
representatives will become secretary
of district rehabilitation committee
of the Legion.

INDIAN WAS NAMED "OH HE'LL
AND JUDGE WAS SKEPTICAL

"Oh He'll" said an Interpreter as
he turned from an Indian witness be-
ing examined in Phoenix recently in
connection with an alleged smuggling
plot.
"Oh He'll came back again.
"Are you telling me the truth or
Tnaking sport Of the court" the judge
Quired.
"It's the truth, judge was the
reply. "Oh HELP is the woman's
name-at least that's what she says" J"
The woman, Yuma Indian, had
adopted the name, it appearing to her
as especially euphonious and pleasing
ta the ear. 1t was explained in court
that the Yuma indians often have
adopted as their names swear words
they have heard from the lips of set
tiers and traders, or names of famous
men or any phrase that is pleasing to
the ear.

besides the kindergarten. A critic
teacher is employed for each grade,
and each graduate of the Normal
school must teach in the training
school for one hour day one year.
This is rather more than the usual
amount Of practice teaching required,
but it is one of the strong points of
the Normal school.
President L. B. McMullen of the
Normal school said yesterday:
"The plant was appraised in the
summer of 1922 at a total Of $6l3,-
331.25. The appraisement was low,
however, on a number Of items. For
example, the summer cottages, which
are as good as new, were appraised
at half their cost. Several of the
buildings that have been kept in ex-
cellent repair and are as good today
as when built were invoiced at their
cost of construction in time of low
prices.
s'Since the invoice was made, our
new barn has been completed and
twenty-five cottages added, besides
the work done on the athletic field.
Also. new equipment has been INSTALL
ed in the manual training department
and in the home economics depart
ment.
II think it would be a conservative
estimate to say that the investment
here amounts to at least $700,000."

There is no boundary line between

line east of the Verde river and ne
line was ever run west of the HASA
yampa river until last year when the
man running tie line, Engineer O. C.
Thompson, was struck by lightning
while IN the Harqua Hala mountains
and instantly killed. His work was
continued to the Yuma line but q
court order nullified the survey be-
cause D. C.. Thompson, and nobody
else was authorized to head the en-
giDeering party.
The original line was run in 1886
beginning at the Verde and going
west of the Hassayampa. That is ali
officially that was ever done to estab-
lish boundary between Maricopa and
4avapal counties and that line is
wrong. In consequence nobody living
there knows whether he lives in Mari
copa or in Yavapai county, according
to the deductions.
Mr.. Mussetter said he would have
to consult the stars to determine the
line east of the Verde as the boundary
line between the alleged counties Of
Naricopa and Yavapai must follow
the 34th parallel. However, Mr.. Mus
setter was very optimistic and said
that he and party would be able to
establish within all bounds of engin-
eering accuracy the entire boundary
between the two political subdivisions
OF the state by April 1.
The chief of party said that while
the astronomic observations could
practically locate the Bath parallel it
would remain for the plumb line to do
the fine work, all which would be
based on the North American datum,
Of which so points had been estab-
hshed IN Arizona since 1910, and
which are accepted by the govern
n16nts' of Mexico and Canada.

THE PRESS AND THE CHURCH

1t is no longer the proper thing to
look upon the home paper as a charge
upon the community; no longer just
to give advertising contracts as char
ity is given, says an exchange. The
community wants the newspaper and
the newspaper needs the community
they are mutually beneficial.
For the same reason it is no longer
the proper thing for churches to ex-
pect the unbounded support of the
press in the utilization of its adver-
tising space without fair remunera-
tion. When it comes down to brass
tacks," both press and church are in
business for good and sufficient rea-
sons. Both are out to do good and
necessary work and each deserves the
unbounded support of the other. =

Liberals Join With
the Conservatives
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

by Assoc lated Press Leased W Ire
London, Eng.-In view of the per-
sistence, despite many denials of the
rumors that the Liberals were willing
and had even agreed to give some sort
of support to the Conservatives when
parliament meets next month, it was
natural that all centers of political
interest were considerably excited yes
terday when they learned that Prime
Minister Baldwin and Herbert As
quith, the Liberal leader, had had
an interview.
! Political clubs and the newspaper
Offices hummed with reports and
counter reports based on the unex-
pected occurrence which was generally
regarded as confirming the oft
repeated assertion that the Liberals
and Conservatives would make an
arrangement"
A majority of the political writers
in the morning press .Isiterate emp
hatically denial that any such ar
rangement was made or is contem-
plated. The Liberal newspapers treat
it as an absurd myth, declaring that
the Liberal party certainly will not
give the least support to Mr.. Bald
win and that neither Mr.. Asquith nor
Mr.. Lloyd George ever suggested such
a thing.

ASKS KENOSHA
TO AID CHILDREN
City Manager Calls Meet
ing to Discuss German
Children Aid.
IS NATIONWIDE MOVE

Kenosha was asked to hear the cry
of the starving children in Germany to-
day in kilograms received by City Man
ager C. M. Osborn and various civic
organizations of Kenosha asking that
movement be organized to raise a
fund for the aid of helpless children
of that country. City Manager Osborn
took immediate steps to answer the
appeal, calling a meeting of all inter
ested to be held Thursday afternoon
at four O'Clock in the city council
chamber.
At this meeting plans will be dis
cussed for laying the appeal before
the Kenosha Community Chest asso-
citation and in the event that it does
not come within the scope of that or
ganization to stage a campaign to raise
Kenosha's quota to the fund
Telegram States Situation.
The appeal reaching Kenosha today
came from Judge A. C. Backus,, of Mil
waukee, chairman of the state commit
tee for relief of starving German chill
dren. kilograms addressed to the city
manager, to officials of the Kendsha
Manufacturers association, the Keno
sha Retailers association, the Down
town Business Mems association and
other organizations, read as follows:
II have received an urgent appeal
for help from General Allen who COM
manded the American forces on the
Rhine and from Herbert Hoover, a
member of President Coolidge's cabi-
net. They personally guarantee the
fact that seven million German chill
dren are on the verge of starvation.

Won't you join US by calling "a meet
ing of your leading citizens to organize
committee to make an immediate
canvass for Minds to meet this vital
need. Every dollar subscribed will be
spent in this country to buy food to
be shipped free to Germany and per-
sonally distributed by the Quakers

Will Answer Appeal"
City Manager Osborn has answered
the wire stating that steps will be
taken to meet Kenosha's share of the
burden.
Some question has arisen as to
whether or not this appeal comes
within the scope of the community
chest fund, but an appeal will be made
to that organization. Whether it is
granted or not there is ample reason
for Kenoshans to make voluntary sub
scriptions to the fund to keep children
from starving in Germany.

makes light of her slight physical
infirmities, to scatter sunshine and
happiness, is played by Janice Gozen.

Ethel Perkins as Mrs. Bird, and
Charles Johnson as Mr.. Bird, are ex-
tremely interesting characters, as
their personalities in the story differ
so widely. Mrs. Bird is devoted en-

second consideration. Mr.. Bird sue
