AS announced last week, Flagstaff
city schools begin next Tuesday. morn
ing. The first regular faculty meet
ing will be held at o'clock Monday
morning, in the high school library
for the assignment and placement of
teachers and to prepare for the enroll
ment of pupils next day.
1t lis very important, Superinten-
dent John @. Thomas says, from the
standpoint of both parents and pupils,
that pupils who are contemplating en-
tering either the elementary or high
school enroll on the opening day, that
there may be no unnecessary delay in
distribution of books and supplies
necessary to begin work. Many cases
of poor work are on record due to un-
necessary delay in registering and
many are unable to overcome the evil
consequences of a poor beginning.
The city school faculty has been
very carefully selected for the coming
year. No selections were made until
careful Investigations were made. as
to character, personality and scholar
ship and upon recommendations of
persons acquainted and willing to
vouch for statements concerning fit

while the new members were chosen
from a very large list of candidates.

Mr.. Heard began speaking shortly
after seven o'clock, stopping at 8:15.
Both before and after his address he
met many local people. His clean-cut
exposition of his policies seemed to
meet with the complete approval of
his hearers, who were about equally
divided as to political faith, but all of
whom we're free in expressing their
appreciation of his speech.
-Four great problems confront Ari-
zona today, all of which are business
problems, the candidate declared.
These four may be classed under the
following heads, he said: business adj
ministration, state development, tax
reduction, and sane and sensible

river tangle, substituting action and
construction for friction and misun-
derstanding.
The address opened with an outline
of the "trail of service" for the adj
ministration of the affairs of the state
which Mr.. Heard expects to put in
to operation if nominated and elected
governor.

The New Haven papers must smart under the belittline accusation of playing up local news The Bristol Press informs them, prac- tically, that people of New Haven should be comparatively indifferent to local affairs and much prefer to learn the editors views of great ma tional questions, Bristol affairs. or to read the details of some important happening in the country far away from New Haven.
 All of which reminds one of a lit- tie notice which remained for 6 long time posted oREthe bulletin board Of the reporters room of the Washing ton Star---which, it may be stated for the information of some, is quite a newspa per. The notice was an old one, by the editor of the Star, saying that whatever measure of success the Star had obtained was because it has been in the habit of giving a column to a local happening of small importance, perhaps outside of Washington. while it usually gave but a stick to war in Timbulltu. Possibly the Stars editor might have substituted Bristol for Timbuktu.
