Normal School News

III WI ltlol ANltOOl NOwS
The new school year has opened
with an enrolment of III students,
an increase of about a. over last
year. Many states are represented
by the students, some having come
from long distances. The great
increase in numbers has taxed the
accommodations at the school to
the utmost and temporary emer-
gency measures have been en-
ployed to find seating capacity for
all. 1t is source of great salts
faction to the friends of the Nor
NAL to see the new year Inaugural
ted so auspiciously.
Thursday evening of week be-
fore last the faculty of the Normal
School gave dinner and hay ride
in honor of the three departing
members, Miss Jones, Miss Loss
ing and Mr.. Thorpe.
The dinner was prepared and
served in the Domestic Science
Room. Fortunately it was dis
covered that the teaching of Latin
or Pedagogy does not disqualify
one for the making of sandwiches,
and that special work in Chemistry
or Algebra may be excellent prep
aration for the turning of an ice
cream freezer.
Immediately following the din
ner, the crowd left on hay rack
for Eden Springs where they en-
Ioyed marshmallow roast.

Mr.. Vandegrift's business to know
thoroughly any Santa Fe territory
where homeseekers might be in
terested, yet he confessed he had
scarcely heard of Coconino county
till he was attracted to it by the
experimental work done by the
agricultural department of the

using given this end of the state
by the County immigration Com

SOFT FOR THE MExlcANs.

A fresh roll call of the Mexican
soldiers and refugees who fed to this
country from Ojinaga, Mexico, and
who are now at Fort Bliss shows that
several hundred more Mexicans are de
pendent on the United States for food
and shelter than first counts indf
Gated. The total number of depend
ents on this government are 4,987. OF
these 1896 are Mexican soldiers. The
rest are women, children and male
civilians. Forty more soldiers who
were left wounded at Preside and at
Maria, Texas are also to be brought
here. -..,-.
Army offlcials estimate that it will
cost this government an average of 80
cents a day to feed each of the self
invited guests, or total Of about 81, $50
a day. In addition, there remains
cost for tenting, sanitary arrangements
for guarding the camp and $4,000 for
transporting.
The food for the refugees consist OF
beans. beef, bread and coffee.
In the issuance of rations they are
placed on a par with the American
soldier. No work other than clearing
their camps is to be assigned them.

orruMwA's CAPABLE WOMEN.


Out of town men who were at the an
nual banquet of the Commercial as
ISOLATION at the armory last night, ex
pressed amazement and aomlratloLi
for the way In which the repast was
served by volunteers drawn IRON,
among the many capable women o.
the city. The service was most ell
ficient and no professional caterer
with an equal number of trained wait
rcsses could have excelled it. Ottum
wa may we'll be proud of its women
and if the male residents of the city
show the same ability at getting TO-
gether and carrying out any proJec'
that they may undertake. they will be
able to accomplish wonders.
Serving three hundred or more men
is 3urculean task considering the
facilities afforded. The association
furnished the hall and the diners. The
ladies did the rest. They provided
from their own homes the table linen
and china and silverware; they pre-.
pared the eatables (and they provided
q really sumptuous dinner of man
size proportions); they served the
meal, and lastly they cleaned up and
sorted out their different possessions.
And the whole thing was done so
smoothly that 1t was amazing. 1t
showed most careful planning, efficient
drilling, and attention to details. No
troop of soldiers every evinced better
discipline than did the lady wait
resses and those who were filling the
plates.
The service was large factor in
the success of the banquet.

the state and in the nations. The big
men are few but their very activity
in promoting many different enter
prises is what makes them seem few.
Are they to be punished for being able
to aid in the direction of several dif'
fercnt corporations at one time? Is
anyone so dense as to believe that
the great majority of men will use
knowledge gained in one directorate
to hurt their own interests in another?
Yet the administration egged on by
a clamor from somewhere, is going to
abolish interlocking directorates of
some of the biggest corporations. 1t is
going to frame laws to keep one man
from being interested in two or more
different railroads. 1t is going to stop
the big men of the country from eXer-
cising their full capabilities. 1t is go
ing to put premium on the man who
will interest himself in just one thing
and who cares not if everything else
goes to smash.

hAsrY ACTION SHOULD BE
~ AVOIDED.

The proposed trust legislation OF
President Wilson which will make it
unlawful for a man to serve as d.
rector Of two corporations, Is nothing
more nor less than blow at ability.
It means that the men who are big
enough, competent enough and ener-
getic enough to be interested in more
than one enterprise, will be forced by
law to give up some of their interests.
Just how it is going to practically help
business or the general public by cur
failing the activities of really COM
petent men, is hard to see, even if they
are interested in organizations more
or less competitive.
In every town there are number OF
men with ability that make them
stand out prominently as the able
business men of that particular place.
They work hard and possibly grow
wealthy because they are able to at
tend to a variety Of different things.
There are not many Of these men In
each place; there are not enough in
fact in many places to give each of
the institutions which may be in those
places, one of these able men for a
head. There may be a hundred cor
poratfons OF more or less magnitude
in city, but you will find less than
half that number of men interested to
any great extent in them. Some of
these men will have interests in a
dozen different businesses, some will
be in half dozen, very few will be in
less than two. The president of a fac
tory will be director in one or two
banks. A director of one of the banks
will probably be the head Of big
wholesale house and silent partner in
several big retail stores or other fac.
tories The partners of the leading
law firm are probably identified with
the building and loan association and
directors in other business firms. and
thus It goes. The lessons learned by
the auto factory president as head of
that concern make him a more valu-
able director In the bank, the bank
director uses his knowledge of finan-
ance to help build up his wholesale
establishment. And each of the men
who are Unidentified with different in
terests, are bigger and ADLER men be-
cause of that fact In their various
combinations they learn to pull to-
gether and build up themselves, their
businesses and their communities, all
the time adding to the employment OF

explained his official and private stand
in opposing the teaching of sex n.y.
giene to public school children of the
state. He spoke before the members
of the Chicago Press club, where he
was a guest at luncheon.
81 took my stand against the teach
ing of sex hygiene in the public schools
husband and father" said Governor
Dunno. Il have always felt that such
course is ill advised, but it was not
until the question came up before the
board of trustees of the University of
Illinois, of which l am an ex-officio
member, that was compelled to make
my stand public.
"Modesty, to my mind, is the crown
ing glory of womanhood. I am con-
vinced that when sex hygiene is
taught in the open class room of the
public school that we are counting
grave danger.
81 am quite aware that many intelfi-
gent men do not agree with me and
favor the teaching of sex hygiene, but
do not believe that they are husbands
and fathers.
SIS it wise to take class of little
girls from six to fifteen years old and
disclose to them at least partially, the
mysteries of sex? I personally do not
believe so. The result is that they are
filled with prurient curiosity to know
more and all sense of decency and
modesty is destroyed.
IF you ask me: is there need Of
teaching sex hygiene?' I say emphatic
ally, Yes but let us teach it to the
ignorant and careless parents. There
is a time and place for these things,
but it is not in the public schools.
When a girl leaves the protection Of
her home then let her mother inform
her oncerning these grave questions.
LET us preserve the modesty Of
our daughters and the decency of our
sons"
