Teachers Assn


The Tequeequlte Mesa Teach
ers Association, which was insti-
tnted by Prof. Russell of the Roy
Schools and the second annual
meeting of which was success
fully held in Roy last week, was
well attended. Over forty teach
ers were present and the discus
sions were spirited and interest
ing thruout.
Basket Ball games and other
outdoor sports were indulged in,
The H. S. Boys lost a game to
the town boys 60 and the H. S.
girls lost to the lady teachers 6-7
The big event, however, was
the High School Play Friday
evening. The house was packed
almost to suffocation and the
necessity for some public audi
torium was emphasized by the
discomfort. Everyone was good
narured and the young people
put on a very creditable enter
tainment. The humor of the
situations created in the plays
was augmented by the bashful-
ness Of some of the actors and the
natural talent of others.
The several members deserve
high praise and we cant attempt
to give personal credit because
each deserves it in a. large
measure.
The proceeds from the sale of
tickets and reserved seats was
well above $40. 90, $40. of which
went to the piano funds, $40.

Democracy has been caught
red-handed in connection with
this war. The peacefulness of
democracy does not arise from
strength but from weakness, its
teachings increase the number Of

suppresses great men. It claims
