NEW YORK LETTER

NEW YORK LETTER
By Norman.
New York, Feb. 28.-The pas
senger list Of the Minnehaha was
rather thin" when it came to
people of note, and when the ship
news reporters spied the name
"Sir J. Beverly Robinson, Bart,
they scurried around till they
found Sir J. Beverly.
Pouncing then upon the said
Bart, they proceeded to ask him
concerning home rule, old-age
pensions, militant Suffragettes,
and other topics upon which any
person with Sir at one end of his
monaker and Bart. at the other
might be expected to discourse
entertainingly and perhaps intel
ligently.
MY dear boys" said their
prey, with a genial smile, you
are wasting your time. One of
my ancestors left me a title that 1
had almost forgotten I possessed.
Some misguided friend booked
me on the ship as Sir Beverly
Robinson. I've been a New
Yorker for 30 years. I'm in bust
ness in Exchange place and I'll
be glad to see any of you any
time. Only ask for Mr.. Robin
son, and not for Sir Beverly, or
the boy won't know whom you
want"
.Durnw said one of the ship
news reporters, as they scuttled
off to find something that was
really imported and important.

NORTHERN ARIZONA
NORMAL SCHOOL

High up in the Sky City where
the air is always cool and fresh
and pure, and the stately pine
ever breathes forth its health
giving fragrance. in the protect
ing shadow of the majestic San
Francisco Peaks, lies the North
ern Arizona Normal School, one
of the youngest but one of the
most promising of all western
schools.
This institution has an envia-
BILE record to look back upon. In
the past four years under the en-
ergetic and efficient direction of
President Blome, she has regis
tered the phenominal gain of
two hundred per cent in attend
ance; in the last school year the
increase was thirty-three and
one-third per cent, and the sum-
mer school just closing was more
than a third larger than that of
the year preceding. In these
four years, too, her equipment
has been steadily added onto. so
with increased size has come in
creased efficiency. The North
ern Arizona Normal School now
offers all the standard courses to
be found in any welI-appointed
first class school of its kind.
Agriculture, and Domestic
Science are features recently ad-
ded to the curriculum. These
three courses answer the call for
instruction in things practical
that is arising over the country.
In a region such as Arizona
where the problems of farming
must be all reduced to scientific
basis, agricultural studies are of
special benefit. The result must
not be not only better farming
but renewed and increased inter-
est among our young men and |
women in Americas greatest in
dustry. That there is real edu-
cational development in working
intelligently with the hand as
we'll as purely with the brain is
no longer denied by leading edu-
Gators and all are agreed that no
girl is truly educated who has
not acquired the arts of cooking
and housekeeping, hence. Man
ual Training and Domestic
Silence have come to be fixed !
courses in our schools, and along
with agriculture are no more to
b, dispensed with in live nor
NAL school than is the training
department.
The traing school of this insti-
tuition is one of the best of its
kind anywhere. 1t is under ex-
pert management and given the
most careful consideration. 1t
has more than kept pace with
the rest of the departments in
its growth. an increase of one
hundred per cent in enrolment
being its record for last year.

zona Normal School had out
grown her building equipment.
Students were applying for en-
trance and there was no place tc
put them. The dormitories were
full and running over. New
buildings were needed badly. and
aC once, the state legislature re-
sponded noblY to the need and
appropriated over eighty
eight thousand dollars for new
dormitories and a central heating
plant. By Christmas time it is
confidently hoped a splendid new
home for girls will have been
completed, a generous addition
built onto the boys dormitory,
and a central heating plant erect
ed to radiate warmth and cheer
throughout the school. The
architect and engineers are now
on the ground and the work will
be rushed to completion at the
earliest possible date.
The opening of these fine new
buildings will, without question,
make new epoch in the career
of progress and growth of this
remarkable school-the begin
ming of her greater and larger
future.
SECRETS OF SUCCESS
What is the secret of success
of Northern Arizona Normal
School? In the first place, we
would answer, her organization
and administration is such as to
invite praise and admiration.
She has back of her a loyal and
enterprising educational board,
and at her head. as president. a
man who, by not only education
al qualifications but by depth
and breadth of personally and
character. is exceptionally we'll
fitted for his position. Behind
him is a strong faculty of earn
est and sincere men and women
who are united with the board of
education and the president in
their desire to make the school
stand for work of the highst or
der. 1t is the ambition here to
have N. A. N. S. as she is fond
ly called by students and alumni.
put her peculiar mark or stamp
on each of her students, and
have that stamp recognized
everywhere as the trademark of
her quality and efficiency. N.
A. N. S. wishes to do more than
send students out intellectual
and brain-crammed-she desires
to produce students who will be
better men and women because
they have been under her in
liuence.
POLICY OF THE SCHOOL
1t is policy of the school to
assist its graduates in securing
work for the coming year, as a
rule, N. A. N. S. graduates have
positions before commencement,
especially is this true at the

school are not leaving home for
a boarding house existence-they
are only changing homes for the
time being. With Miss Barber
and Mrs. Blome in charge of the
dormitories there is created for
the boys and girls at Northern
Arizona Normal School a big
family home life delightfully."-
pleasant and comfortable. There
are. of course. some necessary
restrictions but these are few in
number and sane in principle
with the best interests of the
student considered first of al.
The social life of the school is
varied but always clean and
wholesome.
STUDENT INTERESTS AND
ORGANIZATIONS
There are a number of socie-
ties and organizations among the
students that help to give zest to
school life. Some of these offer
especial advantages to those in
terested. the orchestra. for eX-
ample, is under the supervision
of an experienced director and
those doing work in the organi-
zation get the benefit of his in
stuction free Of charge. Oppor-
tunity for private lessons in piano
and voice is offered by competent
teachers in Flagstaff. There is
in the school a chorus whose
are chosen from the
student body. This is directed
by Miss Losing and does excel
lent work.
Considerable attention is paid
to athletics. Two years ago in a |
series of games played in the
valley at the time of the state
fair, both the boys and the girls
basket ball teams won champion
ship titles. Last year the boys
lost, but the girls won out more :
gloriously than ever. There is
no regular foot ball team. but in
1912 an eleven was organized and
three games played, two of them
resulting in tie scores, one a de-
cislve victory for N. A. N. S.
With the exception of a few
weeks in the winter, tennis is
played practically every month
in the year, while baseballis here
as everywhere the big game of
the spring season.
Along the line of strictly liter
ary endeavor, there exists the
Coconino Literary Society. an or
ganization for both bows and
girls that seeks to promote inter
ests in all forms of public ad-
lress. Prizes are given for ora
5orical work and there are at
east two plays a year put on
where students, dramatically in
clined may find a field for ex-

patients. 1t is expected that the in
stitution will continue to care for the
increase of patients until the total
number reaches about 1900, by which
time a new state hospital will be nee
essary. 1t will take six or eight years
to bring this about through an amend.
