Harrison discussed the differences
between the three forms OF munich
pal government.
Provision of trained men is the
most important development to be
looked to in municipal administra-
tion," he said.
Personnel Most Important
I'm my judgment failure to pro-
vide able personnel is much more
serious than failure to provide ma
chinery. Adoption of the regular
commission form would be back
ward step.
"City manager government gives
continuity of administration. which
Is necessary to the best progress OF
city affairs. Politics, under the man
ager form, can be eliminated
"A disadvantage is that political
leadership is not developed. A man.
ager would be lost If he attempted
to deal in politics. His function as
a trained executive Is to carry out
policies. The city manager plan is
not automatic. Voters must keep up
enthusiasm If the plan is to work
to the best advantage.

the first colored physician to locate
in Phoenix, is the founder and gen

This hospital is credit to the race

of DR.. Hackett.
DR.. N B. Greenlee came to the

succeeded in building up a won
derful practice. His services are in
demand by a large group of our
people.
Dr. A. A. Mcdonald, who has been
in the city about three years, is
rated among the best physicians in
the state, white or colored His
army experience with the Medical
Corps and his extensive practice in
Texas before coming 70 Arizona,

LEGISLATURE TO GET REPORT ON PHILIPPINE
 EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

MANILA, June 30. (P-The re- port of the commission, headed by pr. Paul Monroe of Columbia Uni versity, which made a survey of the islands, is now in the hands of Flu gene A. Gilmore, vice-governor and ex-officio secretary of public in-- struction, who will submit it to the legislature when it meets July 16.
 Vice-governor Gilmore said the sur very was not an investigation for the purpose of effecting a cleanup so that alleged undesirable elements might be weeded out, but that it was for the purpose of pointing out the defects which all human institutions have, in order that the proper reme- dies may be adopted for the improve ment of the educational work in the islands.
 There has been an impression on the part of some that the members of the commission are after the scalp of somebody" said Vice-gov- ernor Gilmore. This is erroneous.

The commission was created that it might look over the whole educa- tional system in the Philippines, make constructive criticisms, give suggestions, and submit recommen- dations in order that for every peso expended for education cores bonding benefit may be reaped by the people.
 Tn this work the government is spending an insignificant sum com pared with the big appropriation set aside every year for education in the archipelago. In all we are spending S12O0O,OO0 annually. The appropri- ation for the survey is only s5O,OOO and the expenses of the commission were within the appropriation.
 The whole scope of the education al system in the islands has been thoroughly gone over. A careful study of the questions affecting cur ricula, administration, finance and other phases of the question of in- struction in the Philippines was made by experts in their respective lines ln the United States. We hope to benefit by the task accomplished"

LEAGUE COMMITTEE
 SCANS QUESTIONS OF
 INTERNATIONAL LAW

STOCKHOLM, July 1 (H0-Suppres
 sion of piracy and the joint exploita | tiOn of the riches of the sea are among the ten first subjects selected by the League of Nations Committee on the Qualification of international law, oi which the Swedish ex-premier, Hjal mar Hammarskjold is the president and George w. Wickersham of New York member. This committee was appointed by the Leagues assembly last fall upon the motion of Baron Marks von Wurtumberg then Swedish minister of foreign affairs and dele gate at Geneva.
 A summary of the work so far ac- complished shows that the committee has not yet taken up the proposal fa- vored by Senator Borah to outlaw war altogether. Neither has it considered the so-called rules of warfare, regard ing that subject as too big and com plicated for immediate discussion, nor has it entered upon the hardly less formidable topic of the rights of neu- trals in war time which includes the freedom of the sea.
 The committees procedure has been, President Hammarskjold said recent ly, to select limited number of top lcs on which agreement among the governments seemed the most likely hoping later to be able to enter upon the more controversial fields This list includes in addition to the sub- Jects mentioned above, the following heads: Questions of the nationality or citizenship of individuals; the limits or territorial waters, which would in- clude the rights of rum row.; the special privileges and immunities of diplomats; the status of government owned merchant ships, such as the American Leviathan; the information al extradition of persons accused of crime responsibility for injuries in- flicted on visiting foreigners: proce- dures at international conventions for the negotiation of treaties, and an in- ternational statute of limitations.
 For each of these subjects a spe- cial subcommittee has been named. with instructions to make detailed studies and to obtain the opinions of recognized professional authorities. These reports the committee as a whole will examine and then obtain the opinions of the different govern ments as to what they might ulti- mately ratify. When these answers have been obtained the committee will report it's findings to the Coun- cil of the League which will then de- eide whether to call the governments together for international conferences on such subjects as seem susceptible Of agreement in the form of general treaties with binding force.

opinion sea bathing could be employ. ed to the betterment of health.
 "The present practice" he continu- ed, "of mixed bathing, with the body completely clothed may be an agree able social function, but hygienically it is practically useless. I deprecate the absurd restrictions of some of the town councils of our seaports in this connection. I suggest that at certain parts of the beach, men be encouraged to run about with the minimum amount of clothing, an ex- ceedingly healthy recreation.
 "As for women, another portion of the beach, properly safeguarded from intrusion, might be reserved and en- closed for their similar recreation" !"
