Arizona Boy Recognized.

Harlow T. Kays, an Arizona
boy, and a graduate of the Phoe-
nix high school in the class of
1903, has been assigned to duty
on the new U. S. battleship Ari-
zona, with the rank of Second
Lieutenant. Immediately after
his graduation young Rays was
appointed to the naval academy
by j. F. Wilson, the then dele
gate to Congress. Graduating
from the academy in 1907 his
first term Of sea duty was aboard
the u. S. S. Louisiana on her
memorable tri p around the world.
After the visit to Honolulu, Aus
tralja, China and Japan, he was
detached at Manila and saw SER
vice for two years in the Philip
pines stationed at Alongupo.
He returned to the United
States on the cruiser Denver and
was transferred to the Buffalo,
spending some time in Alaska
water aiding in the erection of
wireless stations. He next saw
service along the Mexican and
South American coast, aboard
U. S. S. Maryland. He was later
detached from the Maryland and
sent to the supply station ship
for the island of Guam, as aid to
the governor of the island. Re-
turning to the United States in
the spring of 1914, he was sent
to Boston and placed in charge
of the photographic office. His
abilities being recognized, he
was appointed chief recruiting
officer for that portion of New
England, until his assignment to
the Arizona.
Lieutenent Kays is the son of
Mr.. an Mrs. Emory Kays, who
are still residents of Phoenix,
and no doubt feel a just pride in
the success of their boy.

One of the most enjoyable. af
fairs of the holiday season was
the five hundred party given by
Miss Cora Creswell last Satur-
day afternoon. The younger set
and large crowd of the young
matrons participated in Miss
Creswell's hospitality. The
house was very artistic in it's de-
corations of blue birds, that en-
blem of happiness being use
throughout the entire decorative
scheme. After the cards the
guests enjoyed a delicious two
course luncheon. The climax of
the happy affair came when each
guest held a card over tiny
candle and found written there
on Engaged, Cora Creswell and
Herman Kahl." Miss Creswell's
friends have known of this for
some time, but it had not been
announced until this date. Mrs.
Wheat of Flagstaff was the out
of town guest.
Now with the approach of the
holiday season the spirit of ro-
nance is in the air. Miss Pearl
Allen entertained Wednesday ev-
ening at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. j. K. LaPrade on Kinsley
avenue, at one Of the prettiest
parties of the holiday season.
The evening was spent playing
five hundred. After cards, the
guests were ushered into the
dining room beautifully and elab-
orately decorated with a profu-
sion of flowers, tulle and hearts.
The centerpiece was a long mir
ror surrounded by ferns and Ce-
Gil Brunner roses. Hearts were
hung from the electrolier, rib
bons running down from them to
the bouquets of roses which were
used as favors. After enjoying
the daintily served luncheon the
guests each pulled down a heart,
on one side appearing the name
"Allen" and on the reverse side
"Wickham." Rumors of this
engagement have been rife for
some time, but it came as sur
prise to many of Miss Aliens
friends. The wedding is an
nounced to take place December
24th. Misses Agnes and Ellen
Ward ably assisted Miss Allen
throughout the evening.

The Old Spelling Book.

Perhaps yet the good old SPELL
ing book of the old school days
will come into it's own. The
superintendent of the South
Pasadena (Calif.) schools has
instituted hospital class for
students in the high school who
cannot maintain an average of
85 in spelling. The hospital class
meets three times a week to
learn to spell thaumaturgy,
psychologists, and other like
common English words. In our
boyhood days the old spelling
book followed the pupil through
to his graduation day, but with
the modern plan of education the
youngster graduates out of a spell
ing book just about the time he
ought to begin to seriously apply
himself to the art of spelling.
The spelling school may seem
rather primitive in these days
when the public school is clutter
ed up with all the fads and
fancies known to advanced
pedagogy, but it would be good
thing if it was restored for the
benefit of the graduating classes
of all public schools. Any good
business man can take a boy out
of the eighth grade who writes a
fairly legible hand, is reasonably
correct in his spelling, and has a
clear understanding of the fun
damental branches of arithmetic,
and develope him into the scheme
of his business even more readily
than the ordinary high school
graduate. The reason is simple.
The graduate has an exalted
opinion of his own ability with
no real basis for it in fact, and
knows so much that is negative
in character, that considerable
time is lost in reducing his bump
of egotism to a working size,
and get him to shed the super
fuities of his education down to
the fundamentals. And in doing
this many a young mans dignity
is offended because he thinks his
abilities are not fully appreciated
by his employer, and he whiles
away two or three years on as
many different jobs before it
begins to sink into his system
that he is not as brilliant as he
thought. The eighth grade boy
realizes. in most cases his limited
capabilities, and has the recep-
tive mind that assimulates quick
ly the ideas and suggestions of
his employer, which gives him a
keen business education that
makes him a valuable asset as an
employe. There is always a
good place in this world for the
boy who can write, spell and
'fgger" and he should apply
himself to acquire this know
ledge above all others.
