Arizona Teachers
Joint Institute

Supt. B. H. Scudder, chairman of
the executive committee of the Ari-
zona Teachers Association and
Joint Institute, gives us the follow
ing information for publication:
The outlook for the largest at
tendance ever experienced in the
history of the Arizona teachers as
sociation is before us. 1t is esti-
mated that between 500 and 600
teachers will be in Phoenix Fair
week to attend the daily sessions of
of the association, from 500 a. m. to
1890 p. m. The teachers may spend
the time at the Fair in the after
noon by this arrangement.
President w. w. Parsons, of the
Indiana State Normal, has been Sc
cured to work in this Institute
President Parsons is a man of
ability and experience and is at the
head of the largest State Normal
in the United States. The faculty
of this school is composed of seven
ty-fiye members. In this school the
a, ,nual registration reaches 1900
stu,' 'ents. President Parsons will
lecture on subjects like the follow
ing: -,

Miss Gail H. Calmerton, super
visor of primary work at Fit. Wayne,
Ind, has been secured to do the
primary work. This plan in our
association whereby primary teach
ers and grammar grade teachers
may get instruction at the associa-
ton is different from former asso-
Citations. Miss Calmerton has done
great deal of Institute work
throughout the Mississippi Valley,
and is highly recommended by all
wherever she has worked.
Pabulum at this association will
be furnished for all and no teacher
can say that his or her department
of education has been overlooked.
Such statements as the following
indicate the efficiency of Miss
Calmerton:

ing is the best | have ever seem

Other statements equally as good
are in evidence.
Teachers should all be present at
the opening of the first day on
Tuesday.
Supt. A. H. Fulton, Supt. John
d. Loper and Principal Stabler, all
of Phoenix, will look after the in
coming teachers, SO those who de-
sire to locate early can write them
and they will attend to your needs.

IT'S NEVER to- LATE TO
LAUGH

ANONYMOUS
Once upon a time, it so befell,
Or so it is averred-
That in the utmost depths of hell
A merry laugh was heard.
Thereat for once, the ghostly crew
Forgot their teeth to gnash,
And trembling, asked each other,
who
In h could be so rash.
Up rose the Prince with darkening
brow,
And pointing with his staff
Bade one stand forth and tell him
how
In h he came to laugh.
Then from this silent, ghostly throng
A voice was heard to break,
1t had an English accent strong,
And there was no mistake.
Come now," it said, upon my
word,
| had to laugh" he cried,
For | caught the point of a joke |
heard
Ten years before | died."

To Raise Salaries

That the present congress is of
the opinion that the big President
elect is worth fifty thousand dollars
a year more than the President who
has been hOurishing the big stick is
plain to see. Last week Senator
Cullom reported the legislative, ex.
ecutive and judicial bill to the Sen.
ate. The most prominent feature
Of this bill is an increase of the salafy
of the President of the United Sta tes
to one hundred thousand dollars a
year. The same bill increases the
salary Of the Vice President to %, 900
dollars. and that of the Speaker to
the House to twenty thousand
This is a doubling OF the salaries fer
all three offices. Until the election
of President Grant the salary of the
President of the United States was
only twenty five thousand dollars a
year and now after thirty seven
years at fifty thousand dollars it is
proposed again TO double it. The
wealth OF the country has more than
doubled since the Presidents salary
was last increased aud there are a

Real Cause of the
Divorce Evil
Decay of Family Life is Responsible
for it.

II the one million divorces in the
country during the last twenty year,
had been granted for trivial causss
the outlook would be bad enough,
but the situation becomes all the
more serious when the separations
take place for grave moral reasons.
1t is generally recognized that such
causes as adultery, deseriion, cruelty
imprisonment for crime, habitual
drunkt mess and neglect to provide
are grave reasons for divorce and
while some of our States have omni.
bus clauses in their divorce law,
these six principal grounds are the
ones recognized by the majority OF
States.
Moreover. the statistics of divorces
grand show that ninety. seven per
cent Of all divorces are granted to
these six principal grounds. Only
an insignificant fraction of the divor.
ces in the United States are granted
for trivial reasons, such as ''incom.
patibility Of temper" Again, over
sixty ger cent of the divorces in the
United States are granted for the
two most serious grounds OF all
adultery and desertion. In other
words, in two thirds of the cases di.
vorce was granted after husband
and wife were already practically
separated.
We must conclude. therefore, that
divorce is prevalent not because of
the laxity of our laws, but rather be-
cause of the decay of our family life.
The real evil is not divorce, but the
decay of the very virtues upon which
the home rests. The problem in
American family life is whether we
are able to build up the virtues upon
which new and higher type of fam
lily may be founded, higher, that is,
than the despotio, semi. patriarchal
type of family of our fathers which
is now passing away or is, rather,
already extinct. 1t must be remem
bered, however, that the first essen
tial element in the home life of
people is stAbility.-Chas A. Ellwood

Talking about the bids made foI

when talking about the mattcr that

refer?

THE CHRIsrMAs DINNER

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
it will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook if they begin
the Christmas Dinner with little ap-
petite and end it with distress or
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hope so for the
sake OF the cook! The disease dYs.
pepsia indicates bad stomach, that
is weak stomach, rather than bad
cook, and for a weak stomach there
is nothing else equal to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. 1t gives the stomach vigor
and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates
appetite, and makes eating the pleas
ure it shC uld be.
