AN OLD, OLD WISH.
Last night in some lost mood OF
meditation
The while my dreamy vision ranged
the far
Unfathomable arches of creation
saw falling star.
And as my eyes swept round the
path it embered
With the swift dying glory OF Its
glow,
With sudden intuition remembered
A wish of long ago. S.
A wish, that were 1t made-so ran
the fancy
OF credulous young lover and OF lass
AS fell a star. by some strange ne
cromancy.
Would surely come to pass.
And of itself the wish reiterated
A thousand times in youth, flashed
DER my brain,
And like the star, as soon obliterated
Dropped into night again.
For my old heart had wished for tha
unending - ...
Devotion Of little girl of nine
And that the girl heart, with the
woman's blending,
Might be forever mine.
And so it was with eye lids raised.
and weighty
With ripest clusterings of sorrows
dew
I cried aloud through heaven: "Oh.
little Katie. . ..-
When will my wish come true?"

Seventy teachers, fifty seven of whom have even at this early date se cured employment in the public schools of Arizona for the coming year were granted their professional diplomas Friday evening at one or the greatest commencement programs ever held at Jhe Tempe normal school. At the same time five young men were granted aca- demic diplomas. making in all a total membership of the 1915 class of seven ty-seven. next to the largest class ever sent forth from the school. This years commencement was singular, the pro- gram was even larger in number of events than previously yet in length of time il Was shorter. The audience was immense by several hundred the larg- est that has ever attended any affair at the normal and even after the balcony had been opened to its seldom occu- pancy and chairs had been placed in all the available space. there were still many who were required to stand dur ing the whole of the exercises. It is es- timated that there were fully thirteen hundred people present representing all parts of tn valley and many outside localities in the state.
 Hon. Carl T Hayden. nineteen years ago a graduate or the Tempe Normal school and today Arizona's representa- tive in the halls of congress, delivered the commencement address. He spoke of the necessity of education in world of paceful people and drew upon an appealing Illustration of the condition under which the people of Mexico are existing today.

PAIGE SCHOOL FOR
 DEALERS GOES WELL

"We are just entering the third phase of an elaborate and comprehensive ed ueational campaign for the benefit of our dealers which we have found to be the most constructive and far reach ing in its value of any plan we have ever adopted" says Harry NJ. Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company.
 There is a wide difference between a man who is merely an agent repre- senting q factory and a real merchant who knows how to merchandise that 1 factory's product, between q mere ord CT taken and "a real salesman. It has always been our policy when We take dealer into the Paige organization to make that dealer q real salesman and a successful merchant. If he represents the Paige he must know how to make money for himself as well as for us To be q successful, money making merchant q man must know his goods, he must know his competitors goods and he must know how to keep store
 TO develop Paige dealers along these lines We started early last spring. an educational campaign. We went back to first principles and opened a school. adopting the old fashioned methods of examinations and the like: and. to make the school work interesting. we offered valuable money prizes for the best lessons.
 We conducted a sort of corres- pondence school and taught every dealer every fact and feature of our product and of our policy Then We held examinations. Dealers were asked to write essays on the Paige car, giving a salesman's reasons why it was the car to buy. Three prizes were offered. of $1OO, $50 and *25 each.
 Good storekecping will probably be our next toric and we will en- deavor to drill our men on the gen eral principles of successful merchan- oising. including such matters as window decorations and the like. Our educational campaign has not only convinced us that we have an exceptionally high grade lot Of deal CTS, but we know that it has been d material factor in advancing the in terests of both dealer and factory. of improving the esprit de corps, of in creasing sales and. briefly. of making
