Relative to Credit From Unapprov.
ed Schools.

ed Schools.
Following is a letter from the
State Superintendent of schools
concerning credit of unapproved
and rural high school work:
Many high schools in the state.
with strong teachers and very ade-
quste equipment, are weakening
the high school work by giving ad
vanced standing in the high school
work done in unapproved schools
which should not receive more than
one-half credit at the most. High
school work in one-room rural
schools cannot receive credit. TIL
Buford Consolidation Act provides
a means whereby rural schools
may establish approved high
schools. The Wilson State Aid Law
makes 1t possible for practically
all unapproved High schools to
maintain an approved school. Those
approved High schools which vic
late the spirit of this regulation can
not receive full credit for all work
offered. nor can schools accepting
such work qualify for Teacher
Training High schools.

Entertain at Parish House

Mrs. William Hughes and Mrs. Kenneth Hughes received in honor of their guest, Miss Smith of Fresno, California, Friday afternoon at the Parish house. The room was trans formed into a bower of beauty by elaborate Japanese decorations with darkened windows and softly shad- ed incandescent lights. Pink and white, with touch of green, pre- dominated in the color scheme and was carried out in all the details.
 Mrs. William. Hughes was hand somely gowned in white crepe d'esprit with diamond ornaments. Mrs. Kenneth was lovely in lavender crepe with black velvet garniture, Miss Smith was becomingly gowned in embroidered white linen. The guests added much to the general effect of brightness and charm, being in their newest gowns and wearing their sweetest smiles.
 After a social half hour "5OO" was introduced and several interest ing games played. Mrs. John SeantlIn, Mrs. Barclay, and Mrs. Nordyke won the honors. Huge punches of pink and white carna- tions with streamers of pink tulle were the prizes. Two tables were stretched across one end of the room and concealed by pink screens until luncheon was served. The covers and napkins were of Japan csc design while the flower decora- tions were pink and white. There was an elaborate menu in which the color scheme extended largely. Each dish of pink ice cream was decorated with either a Japanese parasol or a pink lantern in minia- ture
 Miss Smith left for her home on Sunday morning, much regretted by those who had the pleasure of meeting her, as also by her hostess.

AT THE TOWN
 COUNCIL MEETING

Three important matters were considered by the Town council at it's regular meeting, Tuesday night. They were: improving the sidewalks on Bill Williams avenue between 3rd and 4th streets; passing a general side walk ordinance providing for town engineer and specifying the kinds of walks acceptable to the town; and the placing of more waste cans along the streets.
 At the meeting there were pre- sent, Mayor Gilson and members, Robinson and Watson. Mr. Rob- insou was chosen as acting clerk for the meeting.
 Discussion of the sidewalks on Bill Williams Ave. between 3rd and 4th streets ended in the passing of the following resolu- tion:
 Whereas the board side walks on Bill Williams Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets are old and in a condition which is menace to human life and limb and
 Whereas the said side walks are in more frequent use than any other sidewalks in the town and are the only side walks in the fire limits that are in constant use that have not been replaced by cement,
 Therefore be it resolved by the Common Council of the Town of Williams that the Street Supervisor be and is instructed to notify the owners of all lots facing on either side of Bill Williams Avenue be- tween Third and Fourth Streets to replace all wooden side walks on Bill Williams Avenue with cement side walks according to the terms and conditions of Ordinance No. 67
 The Town attorney was asked to draw up sidewalk ordinance providing for a town engineer and prescribing that all walks henceforth constructed must be of materials prescribed by the ordinance and follow grades laid out by the Town Engineer. This ordinance will be placed before the council at their next meet ing.
 Three more waste cans were ordered to be prepared and plac- ed about the main business streets. The council feels well pleased with the way the people have co-operated in the use of these already installed. The street commissioner reported that he finds it necessary to empty the ones now in use as often as once week.

ASH FORK NEWS

d NlSiool hClO oh OuolhOoS tiiAS week.
 Busby's Minstrels played one night here. The show was not what was expected but was treat for Ash Fork as we have very little entertainment in that line. The writer visited Ash Fork and heard many complaints about the road between Seligman and Ash Fork. It seems that Prescott is. all of Yavapai County as she is not. trying to help her outer towns at all in any way. The people are thinking of getting up a petition to have Ash Fork and Seligmans annexed to Coconino County and it will be large petition. Evena Williams and Flagstaff are trying to beat little old Ash Fork but 8 few hustling citizens will put the Road to the Grand Canyon in re- pair and Advertise the route to Tourists. If the County don't. want to help the tax payers they will find out sooner or later that they are wrong.
 An infant died at the section station called Holmes last week and lay for three days before the : County Officials attended to the investigation. It seems the .Willi- ans Offic ials thot it was in Yava- pal altho one can see where the County line divides. And the Prescott or Ash Fork Officials thot it was in Coconino. These office holders better study up on the county lines it looks bad to have a body lie 3 days on accounts of such ignorance. The child died suddenly which meant an investi- gation, did not learn from what cause.
 Wm. Pitts is fencing in $40 acres of school section. Bill has one og the finest ranches in the country He has been living on it since Oct ober and has fine garden. The. family enjoyed strawberries raised on the ranch. He has all kinds of vegetables nice tomatoes looking fine now. The writer has been invited to come down and help eat watermelon when they are ripe. This goes to show what energy and thrift can do. He has large ce= ment dam on his place and irri-- gates all his crop. His house is "a modern cement bungalow of nine rooms all papered and would be a credit to city. MT. and Mrs Wm. Pitts are noted for their hos pitality and are credit to the sec ton in which they live. May they live long and be happy.
