the allowance for High School pupils
should be at least 500 per year to
properly provide for the added ex-
pense of tuition, supplies, and equip
ment.
Of highest Importance to the people
of this country is regular and constant
instruction in the public schools con-
cerning moral principles. Any effort
in this direction is entitled to uni
versal commentator. This sugges-
ton holds good everywhere, whether
in Five Points, Wickenburg, or any
other public schools.
This sentiment should be crystalized
into unanimity at once. So far as
Wickenburg is concerned the present
taxable property valuation is en-
HANGED by addition of four miles to
it's School district recently wrested
from Yavapai County. An accounting
of taxes illegally collected from Mari
county all these years should be
enacted at once. BY this method
Wickenburg High School district
might get an apportionment enough
to build an entire new High School
building properly equipped.

SUBSTITUTION


Now could a Peerless be a Ford
Just for one single day?
So Doctor Steach could tell the Lord
We wanted it that way?
You see we want to fool man,
A meddlesome old ass,
Who's bound to ditch us if he can
They call him "Old Man Bass"
Well duplicate, in neat designs,
For sale signs, two or three,
Exactly like the old Steach sign,
That Bass can plainly see.
He'll take it for the Munger bus,
When sent out by the Court,
And then we'll get him in a muss,
If he makes that report.
But strange to say, / must relate,
The jury never knew
Just why went and stayed so late,
Or what they had in view.
But just the same their little game
Received an awful jar,
Because they could not change the
name
On that old PEERLESS Car.

PoPPlEs OF w,ckENBuRG


The great fields of yellow pOppies
that blossom around Wickenburg in
the very early spring were first de-
scribed by the veteran botanist and
traveller of the Fifties, John Cowan
They have been the delight Of trav-

Where Coronado's men of old
Sought the Pecos' tabled gold
Vainly many weary days,
Now the land is all ablaze.
Where the desert breezes stir,
Earth, the old sun-worshiper,
Lifts her shining chalices
Up to tempt the priestly bees.
Every golden cup is filled
With a nectar sun-distilled;
And the perfume, Natures prayer,
Sweetens all the desert air.
Poppies, poppies, who would stray
Der the mountains far away,
Seeking still Quivira's gold,
When your wealth is ours to hold?

wIckENBuRo HIGH SCHOOL
Measures That Seem Necessary to
Promote Its Growth

Measures That Seem Necessary to
Promote Its Growth
1t seems appropriate that residents
of Wickenburg must be awakened to
the Importance of protecting the rural
high schools and the gravity of the
situation will not be adequately under
stood until every parent who has chill
dren to educate will take it upon him
self or herself to take interest enough
to carry out the suggestions here pre-
sented.
The cost of maintenance and up
keep of the Wickenburg High School,
like all other small high school dis
tricts where population is scarce and
property valuation in the same ratio
falls directly upon the owners of prop
erty therein.
The cost of keeping up High School
tuition and educating high school
scholars is acknowledged to be con-
siderable more than that of conduct
ing the grammar or common schools
and educating the pupils.
The allowance from certain reven-
ues set aside for maintenance of our
public schools by the state and county
is based upon the cost of educating
each pupil. That figure has long been
established at $50 dollars per year for
each scholar in the common or gram
mar schools
No rating in this expense has been,
however, officially designated by the
educational heads of the state for TAX
ing care of the high schools of the
rural sections, Notwithstanding it is
generally agreed that the cost is great
er by one half for educating high
school pupil than those of the gram
mar schools. The allowance set
aside for both is the same amount,
viz, $50, which forces an extra ex-
pense on the Grammar School to
carry on it's high school work.
The injustice of this condition is
readily apparent, because meagerly
conducted High School without ade-
quate and proper supplies and equip
ment is only source of ridicule
and it's pupils soon seek the big high
school of the larger cities, where
everything is elaborately furnished
and High pubils get superior facilities
for higher education.
A decrease in population naturally
follows to the interior towns, when
scholars and their parents seek the
superior educational advantages of
the metropolitan centers, while the
high schools of the rural districts
must needs drag along under an inad-
equate appropriation, because decrease
of population means a decrease in
property valuation, from which school
funds are derived for school taxes.
The remedy for this condition lies
in concerted action Of Wickenburg
High School patron to unite with
those of Peoria and Parker High
School districts in a petition to the
Educational Board of the State of Ari-
zona, praying for an increase in ap-
propriations for High School pupils.
Based on that of present grammar
school cost per pupil of $50 a year,
