"CEUTSCHER VEREiN" (2y IDA McOANlEl)

1 The first German club in the Phoenix Union high school was or ganized October 21. l9l3 The nam4 "Deutscher Verein was adopted IF i tic motto "Licht mehr Licht." which means Light, more Light" The,, were the last inspirationa! words Of the immortal Goethe. Who today does not belong to Germany. but to the whole world, wherever there is a living soul who can appreciate his messa ge to mankind He belongs to the world as Shakespeare belongs to the world. and no one complains that Shakespeare is no longer an English man.
 The pupils had been a working vocabulary before their club organi- za ton. SO that the election of their officers. and the subsequent business l throughout this year was done for the most part in German.
 The purpose of the club was the cultivation of vocabulary, the pro motion of interest in German litera- ture, music and art. With this pur- pose in view it was decided to have a program every second Monday. These programs consisted of da logues. readings. and songs in Ger man and instrumental music by Ger man composers. As result of these earlier programs the best talent was | selected for the public entertainment given in March to a large and en- thuSiastic audience in the high school auditorium. There was q small admission charge for the pur-
 pose of purchasing appropriate pie lures and statuary for the school. On Monday May IS, the club held it's | last meeting Max Nosskuehler, the
 president. assisted by Jessie Robert son. the vice-president, unveiled {, , statuette of Goethe three feet in height, and ten framed pictures, cop ies of German paintings, having for ! subjects scenes along the picture
 eque Rhine. Concerning each of these, some feature of interest was | told to the cub by the versatile
 president and later interpreted by Richard Scofield in English for the
 benefit of younger members and others present who could not under ] stand the German. During this per fCrmance our talented violiniSt
 George Luhrs. played softly familiar German airs. Professor Stabler, whose support and encouragement
 has been behind the club during the | year, left with them additional in spiratiOn in his closing speech.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN THE
 SCHOOLS"
(By MRS. ROY PARSONS)

Doubtless all of us have read. at least the headings of articles ap- nearing in various papers and maga - zines, on what is the matter with our schools. The solution of this problem comes through our growth : courses in vocational training.
 Vocational training, as the word is used today, includes all school worl, which tiains the hand as well as the brain. This includes every thing from the building of card = board houses for the babies to d working basis for the ordinary trades
 The leading educators of this country point to the fact that at least onehalf of the pupils of the traded schools leave school before fhe end of the seventh and grades What are we 10 do, is question that naturally arises. And the answer is: Drop at least d part of the academi- work in those grades and substitute vocational training. That is, giver the children a simple basis of knowl- edge in the trades for which they would noturaily wish to fit them selves. The trades. of course, being suggested by the character of th, surrounding country.
 Both parent and pupil would D. anxious to have the boys and girl finish these courses. as these course: would give basis for theI worl into which the future worlSme, would naturally so. Even thousi the pupil may never enter one o, for hi into understand the trade:
