THE NEW CHRISTMAS.

W3N%A This is the time of the year when plat.
A&.eS&Ktudes anent goodwill and the brotherhood
E9Rg of man abound. The conduct of the war
80 in Europe for the past two and half
has more than demonstrated the
fallacy of the predictions about the near
CCDapproach of the millennium. Man is es
M e, sentially selfish animal, in some in
encased in veneer of refinement,
brought about by education and envi-
'E9SRET ronment. When given the opportunity
64> by the absence or approva! of constituted
NfI|H& authority he rapidly lapses into the bar
from which he emerged not so
&SRW many centuries ago. While Christianity
MT Il has done wonders to lift humanity from
MN@ he mire of sel6shness, ignorance and
rs s,t M brutality that was its inheritance, it is
89fa still true that authority represented by
1&@ the police and soldiery is more potent to
W. &curb it's propensities for evil than all the
IL +5cS 3tpachings of all the churches schools and
&S8a colleges in the land. The time may

Seniors.

Mr.. Cubbage gave the high school a
QUESTIONABLE OF ID questions Friday, ask
ing information concerning various
things of school life and life work.
Mr.. Ralph Gregg, student OF the U.
of W., paid us the honor OF visiting our
High School Tuesday afternoon.
A large calendar for each room was re-
ceived from E. L. Davis & Co.
Anti tuberculosis talks by the teachers
and the sale of 1000 Red Cross seals by
the pupils have been features OF the grade
work this week
The Juniors challenged the Seniors to
debating contest. The Seniors would
have debated but they were not notified
until the last moment and it was such a
surprise that the Seniors dropped the
challenge because ''We, the Seniors. be-
lieve in sur render"
Juniors.
The medieval History class reports
poor lessons for the past week. Why?
Miss Howes has promised the German
class written test next We dnesday and
they know from ex perience that she al
ways keeps her word.
Quite number of the Juniors have
been absent during the past week but
are nearly all at school again.
The advanced algebra class is studying
logarithms.
The English class, for the remainder
of this week, will again vainly pursue the
history of English Literature, but the
facts in this text persist in remaining
elusive shadows, and few members of
the G lass entertain hopes of accidentally
capturing any of these shadows.
The Junior Debating Team challenged
the Seniors to debate to be given Friday
but the Seniors did not accept. We are
inclined to believe that they are scare
cats and we assure them that we would
not harm them further than to defea
them in the debate.

The bookcase made by the manua
training boys, are completed and now in

AS Christmas draws near and we have
no money in our treasury we wonder
why we have been so lenient with our
delinquent subscribers. Why not make
US Christmas present! What? Why,
your subscription to the DISPATCH.
Money on subscriptions will be received
any time except Christmas day between
The hours OF one and two, for that is the
time we have our Christmas dinner.
Even then you may bring it to the house,

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a
Prosperous New Year. Thank you.

Previously the cottOnwoods ringing the river provided the only shelter from the ardent sun.

In Spite of Much Mud Tucson Delegation Arrives for State Tournament: Talk of Postponement, But It's No Go

In spite of high water and mud in fact, in spite of everything the Arizona state tennis cham pionships will be played off at the Country club today, tomorrow and Sunday. The Tucson contingent, upon the arrival of which hung the fate of the tournament at this date, pulled in late last evening looking more like bunch of mud cakes than motorists. But noth ing happened to them that little soap and water can't repair, SO the stunt starts, as scheduled.
 Owing to the late arrival of this delegation, the drawing for places and opponents in the first round will be delayed until this morning, a fact which delays the start to 10 o'clock.
 In the emergency, the first round will be played off as rapidly
