STORY OF CREATION
Woman Deity Created World
Is Proven by Tablet
1900 Years Old

1t was a woman goddess who
created mankind, according to a
tablet a 1000 years old, just deciphered
at the University Museum by DR..
Arno Poebel, the distinguished
Oriental scholar, who is at work
translating the tablets dug up in
Nippur some years ago by the Mu-
scum expeditions. This discovery
is not only the most important in
the history of the Museum, but in
many respects the most important
in the history of civilization.
There is in the library of the late
j. Pierpont Morgan a small frag-
ment of Semitic tablet, which con-
tains few words and phrases in
dicating much older phase of the
creation story, but it has served
only to excite curiosity. The museum
tablet is in Sumerian and is prob
ably older, or at least as old, but it
is definite. while the other treasure
which Mr.. Morgan considered one
of his greatest possessions, is now
lacking in Importance.
1t may be said the striking novel
features of the new tablet are these:
That it was female deity who
created mankind, known as THE
blackbeaded'' from the color of the
hair
That the first seven prediluvian
cities and the special god of each are
discovered.
That the older Babylonian name of
the Scriptural Noah is Ziugidda.
That deluge ruins of the predilu-
vain cities were not all destroyed,
some not until historic times.
Although in Genesis God is repre-
sented as deliberately saving Noah,
in this tablet the respite of mankind
is through the agency of one of the
gods, who informs Zingidda Of his
impending fate, who thus is enabled
to prevent mankind from disappear
ing.
The tablet originally was about
seven inches square, but on such
surface the ancients could write in
ideographic signs long epic poem,
and that is what the tablet contained.
Like the first chapter of Genesis, the
story opens, supposedly as judged
from first lines appearing. in grand
poem on the origin of the heavens
as well as of the earth. 1t is cur
ious feature of Babvlonian myth
ology that the gods are represented
as existing before there was either
heaven or an earth.
1t appears Anu and EMIL were the
chief gods of power. Although
they were among seven of equal rank,
the first being god of heaven and
the latter god of earth. Nintu was
not only the creator of mankind but
very properly the patron goddess of
the marriage bed and the procrea-
Llon OF tne human race. lnen comes
the story of the creation.
The tablet has mankind created
and then things for his life and
pleasure and finally Paradise from
which he is not elected. 1t has a
food lasting only seven days, instead
of forty or more than year, in the
two accounts in Genesis, and we
have man rewarded after the escape
from total destruction.

NEW SCHOOL LAWS.
Some Timely Information for
School Patrons by
Supt. Woods

EDIIOh GUAhDlAN' AS tHe Coi
umns of your valuable paper have
always been open to school news
items, | trust that | am not presum,
ing too much upon your generosity
by asking you to publish for the
benefit and information of school
patrons and the public generally, q
few items which I believe should bc
brought to notice, and the present,
just before the opening of schools,
an opportune time,
First, | desire to express my ap-
probation of the support and co.
operation Of patrons, school officers
and the diligent effort and intelligent
application of teachers. all of whom
contributed to the success of our
puplic school during the year just
closed.
AS time passes, new conditions
arise In the school world, such as
compulsory attendance, attendance
in the district where the child resides,
free text books and many others,
but as space is limited, l desire to
call attention only to those named.
Last years attendance was much
better than that for any year pre-,
vious, yet it is very evident tina,
the attendance law was not lived up
to, as the total enrolment was but
1885, of a school population of 2,7l5.
The law requires every parent,
guardian or other person in the
State of Arizona, having control of
any child between the ages of eight
and sixteen years. TO send such child
to public school or to private
school taught by a competent in
structor for the full time that the
public school is In session in the
school district, such attendance to
be continuous, for five days In the
week, during the hours prescribed
by law; under subdivision of Sec. 80.
there are four exemptions, however,
one Of which Ia that the child has
completed thegrammar school course
prescribed by the State Board of
Education.
The public school that the child
should attend Is the one in the dis
trict where he resides; however, If
the reasons are deemed good and
sufficient. the Board Of Trustees of
any school district may admit pupils
from any other district upon the
written permit from the Board of
Trustees of such other district; pro-
vided, that IL the board admits a
pupil from any other district with
out such written permit the attend.
ance of such pupil shall be credited
to the district in which such pupil
resides.
The new and untried experiment
of free text books Is to be under.
taken this year, which will require
the combined efforts of school Of
ficials and patrons in order to secure
reasonable economy in the use and
care of these books, which are the
of the State and are loaned
to the different boards of trustees
for the use of the pupils of .the re-
spective districts; the trustees win
accordingly hold the pupils account
able for any loss or damage; II lost
or damaged SO that it is unfit for
use, then in either case, he must
furnish a new book at his own ex-
pense.
