Teachers Examination

The regular quarterly Teachers Examination will be held this fall and hereafter on the Third Monday and Tuesday in August, the dates this year being August 18th and 18th.
 The date of the fall examination has been set at an earlier date than usual to give school boards more time in which to secure teachers, in case this is made necessary by failures to pass the examination

Rain Needed in Valley

Pittman Valley is badly l.. need of rain, according to MT. and Mrs. George Nagiller who came to town Wednesday, preparatory to brown, up on their choice 160 in that sec tion. MT. Nagiller has about sixty acres of oats which would make considerable of a crop yet, if rains would come the coming week. The potato crop in that region also is much in need of rainfall.

SO,OOO DOLLARS EXTENDING IN
 EQUIPMENT
Largest Attendance in History Now
 Predicted

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 fra grance, in the protecting shadow of the majestic San Francisco peaks, lies the Northern Arizona Normal School, one of the youngest but one, of the most promising of all west ern schools.
 This institution has an enviable record to look back upon. In the past four years under the energetic and efficient direction of President Blome, the school has registered the phenomenal eain of two hundred per cent. in attendance; in the last school year the increase was thirty three and one-third per cent. and the summer school just closing was more than third larger than that of the year preceding. In these four years, too, the equipment has been steadily added onto, so with increased size has come increased efficiency. The Northern Arizona Normal School now offers all the standard courses to be found in any well-appointed first class school of its kind. Agriculture, Manual Training and Domestic Science are features recently added to the cur elculum. These three courses an- swer the call for instruction in things practical tha: is arising over the country.
 In a region such as Arizona where the problems of farming must be all reduced to a scientific basis, agri- cultural studies are of especial ben eft.
 The training school of this insti tuition is one of the best of its kind anywhere. It is under expert man. agement and given the most careful consideration. It has more than kept pace with the rest of the de- partments in growth, an increase oi one hundred per cent. in enroll ment being its record for last year.
 By Christmas time, it is conf dently hoped, a splendid new home for girls will have been completed a generous addition built onto the boys dormitory, and a central hea. ing plant erected to radiate warmth and cheer throughout the school al cost of s8O,UOO. The opening O these fine new buildings will, with out question, mark new epoch il the career of progress and growth O this remarkable little school the beginning of her greater and large future.
 With Miss Barber and Mrs Blome in charge of the dormitorie' there is created for the boys anC girls at Nor hern Arizona Norma school big family home life de lightfully pleasant aud comfortable There are, of conrse, some neces sary restrictions but these are fev in number and sane in principl with the best interests of the stu dent considered first of all. Tn social life of the school is varied but always clean and wholesome.
