HELEN KELLER, FAMOUS
BLIND GIRL COMING

Miss Helen Keller and her teacher,
Mrs John Macy. will lecture in the
High Scvhool auditorium Saturday,
March H. The story Of Helen Keller
and her teacher, the former Miss
Sullivan. is enc of the most mar
velous educational stories of modern
times. Miss Keller became blind and
deaf at the age Of nineteen months.
and although she has not been able
to use the senses Of sight and hear
ing since then, she has. through the
patient and skilIful teaching by Mrs.
Macy, become highly educated
woman. She was graduated from
Radcliffe College. the female depart
ment of Harvard, 1914, receiving the
degree Of B. A., cum laude. II
seems incredible that person who
practically could never see or hear
should be able to take UP higher
educational studies with marked dis
tinction and even, as has been the
case. become the author of books.
One of her books which she wrote in
college. The Story of My Life" has
been translated into fifteen Ian
guages.
Mrs. Macy in her lecture will de-
scribe the circumstances which led
to her becoming the teacher of Miss
Keller and will detail the methods by
which she instructed Miss Keller
and thus opened the outside world
to her, which seemed locked forever.
All who have had anything to do
with the training of children realize
how almost superhuman must have
been the task Of teaching Miss KEEL
| Ter to speak for the first time.
Mrs. Macy will demonstrate her
| method Of communicating with Miss
Keller. These lectures will prove in
tcresting to people who will thus
have an opportunity very early to
hear these wOrld-renowned people.

ORGANIZATION
IS COMPLETE
Assistant Secretary E. L.
WOlcOtt of American
Mining Congress Leaves
Arizona Chapter in Good
Condition

E. L. WolcOtt. assistant secretary
of the American mining congress
and organizer of the Arizona chap
ter. left last night for Denver with
his work in this state complete. In
a statement to the press yesterday.
he predicted two thousand members
for the Arizona organization within
very short time.
The education of capital concern
ing the field of Arizona and the in
stitutiOn of proper safeguards for
investors here are teh duties of the
Arizona chapter" he said. The work
of combating conditions that have
been inimical to capital here is al
ready started One of the organic
atoms tasks will be to compile COM
prehensive data concerning the min
eralization of the state. This, too,
has already been started. Within a
short time, Secretary Robinson will
have in his Phoenix offices the most
complete information obtainable on
mine possibilities. Copies of all this
data will be kept on record at the
Washington office of the congress-
Globe according to Mr.. Wolcott,
will make a fight to have the pro-
posed state school of mines located
there. If the ella county members
keep on working as hard as they
have started, they will succeed not
only in getting the school established,
but will get it located in Globe. At
present. the bureau of mines at
the university is merely an expert
mental department, and has little
standing as an education feature.
Globe is also working to get the
federal experiment station located
there, and will have pretty good
luck, it seems.
The next session of the American
Mining Congress will take place on
September 20 in San Francisco. 1t
will last for two days. AS soon as
Mr.. Wolcott arranges some private
matters in Denver he will go to
San Francisco to begin preparations
for the session.
