STATE IS SOON TO
START THE PAVING
OF
GRAND
AVEiMU
E
GLENDALE, Aug. 18 According to
the Glendale News today, assurance
has been given by the state highway
department that a start toward the
paving of Grand avenue will be made
in a very short time. The work, ac
cording to the state engineer. Thomas
Maddock, will be undertaken with
funds derived from the state's 25 per
cent fund, matched by a part of the
federal aid recently approved for this
Important thoroughfare.
While it is announced that there is
not sufficient money obtainable from
this source to pave the entire dis
tance between Phoenix and Glendale,
it is hoped to make a, start and that
the work can be augmented with ad
ditional funds later obtained from the
county's 75 per cent fund, or seme
other source.
As soon as it had become definitely
apparent that the Glendale district
could not hope to obtain co-operation
from the county highway commission
toward the paving of Grand avenue
from Glendale to Phoenix, interested
taxpayers of the district, it is report
ed, turned to other sources for aid,
with the result that it is now defi
nitely announced by the state high
way department that not only will a
start be made toward paving Grand
avenue, but that if the town of Glen
dale will pave that portion of the ave
nue extending through the city limits,
to connect up with the state's work,
half the expense of this work would
be borne by the federal government
out of federal aid funds. '
It is expected that through the town
council and the Commercial club the
matter of paving Grand avenue
tlfrough the town will be taken up in
the near future.

tions developed. The many friends of
the family in this district extend their
sympathies to the bereaved parents.

Ncalon of Phoenix for Supreme
Court. Adv. 4t
S. PRATT
HAS HAD SUCCESSFUL
CAREER AS EDUCATOR
Linwood S. Pratt, one of the two can
didates for the Republican nomination
for the office of superintendent of pub
lic instruction, has a long record of
success as a schoolman. Mr. Pratt is
a native of Massachusetts, who has
taught school for 20 years and has prac
ticed law for 10 years. After finishing
a high school course he was graduated
from the Bridgewater, (Mass.) Normal
school. After that he spent two yers
at Harvard university, but was not
graduated. He has successfully built
up three school systems.
He has been a resident of Arizona
since 1913. Before resuming teaching In
this state he took the senior course in
the Tempe Normal, finishing in nine
months, was graduated and now holds
a diploma from that institution. During
his stay there he was given 24 grades;
20 of these were "A" and four were
." This is the highest rank ever
given by the Tempe Normal cshool to
any one. For the last three years he
has been the highest paid rural school
teacher in the sta-te.
Mr. Pratt is a trained and experienced
organizer and disciplinarian. The plat
form of Mr. Pratt is:
"If I am elected state superintendent.
I will use all the power and influence
of my office to secure such a raising of
the standards for teachers in the public
schools of this state, that no person
shall be certificated to teach, unless
that person shall have first shown botn
by credentials and by examination his
knowledge of the subject matter to be
taught and his ability to teach it.
"In my opinion, we are hearing too
much about what is due the school
teacher: in my opinion, it is time that
we heard something of what is due the
school children. If I am elected state
superintendent. I shall be willing to
spend all the money tha is necessary to
give adequate education and training
to all the children of the state. The
rural schools need about twice the
money that they are getting. I do not
think the taxpayers generally begrudge
the money that is paid for good schools ;
but the money that is paid for the
support of some of our schools is worse
than wasted; and the money that is
paid for others of our schools is largely
wasted. I do not think that it is an
extravagant statement to say that there
is more money wasted on schools than
upon any other department of govern
ment. When school men gather to
gether, they are rarely heard boasting
to each other of some added service
that they have been able to render to
the community, nor of some greater
stimulation that they have been able
to give their pupils: but when school
men gather together their chief boast
among themselves is the increased
amount of money that they . have been
able to "put across" from the tax
payers. "It I am elected state superintendent
I will give a sharp business administra
tion of the office, with competent busi
ness supervision of the expenditures
for schools. With the elimination or
waste both in the purchase and use of
school supplies and free text books,
there could be a saving of at least
$50,000 per annum."

combinations.
The styles? Accordion pleated styles in quantity and variety.
Others with buttons and pockets and so forth every one new.
That such skirts can be sold at Half Price is a sort of eighth

Here's the way these skirts were originally purchased: Our
buyer was in New York. A maker had just finished his sea
son a tailor, by the way, after the heart of women who care.
, His skirts are painstakingly done finished beautifully.
These charming skirts were left. He sold them to us at a great
price' concession. They are the sort women are proud to own.
We offer them to you for a quick disposal, at exactly half the
former selling price. Selling starts at 8 :30 o'clock this morn
ing. That's all. (Second Floor)
