The last session of the inter county
institute was a musical carnival if
such a thing is possible. Talent galore
seemed to spring from the ranks of the
teachers and the performance stirred
the audience, which packed the Monroe
school auditorium to the highest pitch
of enthusiasm.
William Conrad Mills of the Arizona
School of Music sang three selections
| based on the Rubiyat of old Omar. The
applause surely was intended as an ap-
proval of the singing for the sentiment
was cynical. He encofed with Cad
mans From the Land of the Sky Blue
Water which one lady was overheard
| to remark, raised her above the sordid
things of life"
Mr.. Beckwith of Tempe normal fol-
| lowed with Il Am King of a Thousand
Dreams" Mr.. Beckwith responded to
| insistent applause with the old favorite
Loeb Lomond."
| Miss Miller, from the Miller's School
| of Expression of Pasadena, read from
THE Glad Girl" and encored with
| When Earth's Last Picture is Paint
| ed. The best that can be said of
Miss Miller's reading. is that she is a
| professional and her work was finished,
| every bit of it
! Prof Youngblood of Williams, sang
in very pleasing tenor Mother Me
Crae" and did SO well that in spite of
the fact that the regular schedule was
much behind, the teachers would not
be denied an encore.
William Orth and the high school
band were the instrumentalists. Phoe-
nix is quite familiar with the perform
ance of the high school band as well
as Mr. Orth. The teachers showed by
unstinted applause their appreciation OF
both.
Miss Hastings was the first speaker
of the morning and spoke on the open
air school. She quoted statistics
showing that members of the outdoor
! classes gained considerably more than
the pupils in indoor class rooms, in
height, weight and chest capacity. Miss
!, Hastings talk was listened to with
great interest
Prof l. Colodney, editor of The Ari-
IONA Teacher, followed with a talk or
THE Introduction of the Arizona
Teacher. The speaker said that al
though he was instructed by the bust
; ness manager to see if by means OF
eloquence, persuasion, some Pied Piper
of Hamlin tune he could not make the
teachers who have been receiving the
magazine free to loosen their grip or
one dollar. However, he refused to bt
