THE ARIZONA GAZETTE. PHOENIX, ARIZONA. SUNDAY MORNING OCTOBER 7. 1900. VOL. 36 – NO. 89.
An eight page six column paper with numerous advertisements, including a ¼ page ad for Ringling Bros. World’s Greatest Show, an ad for N. Porter maker of Bits and Spurs, etc. plus international news, national news, and local news including the following taken from The San Antonio Express which thinks the El Paso school board is reckless. “The school trustees of El Paso have assumed a responsibility of no small consequence in essaying to regulate the length of the feminine skirt in the school room. These reformers in other part of the country have endeavored to persuade the ladies to wear short skirts on the streets, but it was left to the El Paso school board to set the example of enforcing the short skirt rule as a sanitary measure. It was claimed that the long skirt gathers up disease germs and carries them into the rooms crowded with school children to their great danger, and the long skirt must, therefore, be prohibited. It is presumed that the school marms who have pretty feet and ankles do not object to the rule, but perhaps others do.” “It is with the knowledge that all the El Paso school marms had pretty feet and ankles that our board of school trustees passed the short dress order.”
