SCHOOL / THE THIRD CONTEST
Final NormaI-Hish School Track Meet on Thanksgiving.

The final track meet between the Normal and Phoenix high school will occur at Phoenix Thanksgiving after noon.
 That the meet will be spirited and close is attested by the previous con tests So far the high school has had the better of it. There were but three points difference in the first meet and those were won by a few inches. At the fair meet the Normal was in bet ter form. and had the other schools been eliminated all the events contest ed as in a dual meet the Normal would no doubt have been victorious. In any case, both teams feel that this meet will decide the championship.
 It is not generally known, but it is true that both teams are much supe- rior to similar track teams in~eastern institutions. The equality of the two teams serves to hide their real worth and it is only such meets as at the fair that bring out the comparative standard with other schools. In that meet three of the large territorial schools never got point, and even the Indian school could get but ten. Not only that but they compare very fla vorably with any but the largest of the eastern college teams. Note the comparison of the Normal and high school records with those made in a dual meet between two prominent state universities of the east

teachers.
The chief aim OF the Bible Training
School is TO afford a comprehensive
knowledge OF the English Bible and
TO implant in the hearts of those who
attend an ambition TO dedicate their
lives to the elevation and Christian
ization of their people. Daily sup

The teaching is wholly undenomina-

stead to assist all denominations.
During the past year, the enroll
ment in the Bible Training School
has been satisfactory. but the oppor-
