The School Exhibit of Zion Educational In
stitutions at the College Building, on June FL
and %, eclipsed anything of the kind pre-
viously shown in Zion City. Adjectives but
feebly describe the vast array of accomplish
ments on display, and after passing through
the various rooms and Railways one despalred
of conveying an adequate idea OF the work TO
others.
It was the verdict of experienced teachers
present who had seen school exhibits in many
parts of the country that no better types OF
work could be seen anywhere if one were to
search the United States over. Indeed, hard
ly anywhere else could be found anything
forming parallel.
One of the chief aims sought in Zion
Schools is thoroughness. The children are
not hurried haphazard through the various
grades, picking up a few superficial crumbs
/ of knowledge in order to finish the course.
Every subject is mastered in detail. Where
student is told to write composition
instance, on the characteristics of certain
people or country nothing short of the most
| careful work will suffice he must post up and
be able to produce something which will be
source of interest and enlightenment to ma
ture minds.
The same is true in dealing with any sub
ject in mechanics or general science. The
pupil must first master the subject obtain
an intelligent grasp of the matter -and then
be able to impart it to others.
In this way, after passing through the
kindergarten, the eight grades of the Junior
Department and the four years of the Pre-
paratory Course, pupil will have been able
to store his mind with fund of useful
knowledge upon which he may draw in after
| life, no matter what his trade or profession
or where he may be situated.
| The educational work in Zion Schools does
not merely embrace spelling, reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar, geography, history,
etc. but covers at the same time vast field
of research.
And this is not all. During all this time
) the pupil is receiving mental training and
development which is of equal Importance to
the requirement of knowledge. His intellect
is being sharpened; his latent powers are be-
ing awakened and developed; he is acquiring
the ability to grapple with difficult problems
and solve them; he is gaining mental poiSe
and CONFERENCE.-THE ability to decide.
While the mature man or woman, after
leaving school, may never be called upon to
measure the height of mountain, the keen,
trained intellect is there ready to lay hold on
many another problem in life just as elusive,
lust as knotty and just as intricate.
The motto of Zion Schools ever kept in view
IN every department of the work is this: "In
the Beginning Cod" The days work is
opened with devotionals; the Bible is the chief
textbook; the molding of Christian character
and the training of men and women for a life
n Gods service is the highest aim.
Through all the years of their school life,
these ideals are ever kept before them. The

principles OF Christianity become part of
their llfe-of their very being Their sur
roundlngs are pure and wholesome; they are
away from the moving picture show, the
dance hall, the Sunday baseball game, the
theater and the one hundred and one other
things which pollute the minds and detract
and divide the attention of the young in other
cities. Is it, then, any wonder that the work
OF the pupils in Zion Schools surpasses and
outshlnes in excellence that of children in
schools elsewhere?
The KINDERGARTEN DEPARTMENT
The basis-the foundation-of all modern
educational work is the Kindergarten. It is
there the little tot of five begins, unconscious
y, to learn concentration-to follow direc-
tions after being told only once
1t is there they learn cooperation to
march, work, play and mingle with other chill
dren, and to be fair and considerate thus de-
veloping the social side of their natures.
1t is wonderful how their tender minds can
be developed and sharpened; how, without
any unnatural strain, their little hands can
be taught to devise cunning objects, by
teacher who has made thorough and careful
study of the matter and who does it, largely,
by holding their interest. Some, at first, do
not know how to use their hands; but when
they are taught how to use their brains, they
nave no trouble in using their hands.
1t is also wonderful how they can be
taught obedience and reverence. Some come
from homes where they have never been
Taught to obey; but in the Kindergarten these
dlflciencies in home training are overcome in
a large measure by taking the children while
their minds and bodies are in an undeveloped
state
In this department the children learn to
repeat many passages of Scripture. even en-
tire Psalms and CHAPTERS. They are taught
the stories of the Bible, beginning with Cen
esis and going right through to the closing
chapter of The Revelation. Indeed, surpris-
ing. as it may seem, there are children in the
KINDERGARTEN department who can tell more
about Paups Journeys, the RAPTURE, the
Seven Year Period, the Second Coming Of
Christ, the Great Tribulation. the Battle of
Armageddon and the Millennial Reign than
nanety-nlne adults out of one hundred outside
OF Zion City. Visitors to the schools often
not'ce this and comment upon it.
Coming into the Kindergarten room. ones
attention was caught by large sand table in
the center, laid out according to childs idea
OF city. Streets ran in each direction. The
residences, made of cardboard, were white
ana yellow; the garages were red. Tiny
nofses and wagons were cut out free-hand;
shade trees, the branches cut from paper,
line the streets. In the center was park with
lagoon surrounded by flower gardens. The
patient little hands had cut out and arranged
all these with infinite care and pride under
the direction of the teachers.
Another object which attracted the atten-

CANADIAN ARTIST
RETURNS HERE To
PAINT ARIZONA MAN

John Wycliffe Lodes Forster, histor-
ian painter of international fame. is
again in Phoenix. He and Mrs. For
ster have recently arrived and are reg
stered at the Adams hotel.
The famous painter is the same keen
eyed, kindly man who, in other winters,
has come to the Salt River valley to
paint portraits of the leaders in the
state and incidentally to enjoy the
sunsets. Mrs. Forster enjoys the beauty
of the trees and is enthusiastic in ex-
pressing her delight of them.
Mr.. Forster has made his journey
here from his home in Toronto, this
time to paint Governor Hunt the
speaker of the last house Of represen
tatives, Anthony Johns, and the presi
dent Of the senate. Senator Claridge.
Because of Forster's intimate associ-
ations with English military leaders,
statesmen and jurists, and because he
himself is Canadian, his visit this year
is of greater interest, if possible. He
has known the great war leaders, and

TWO HONOR HUTS.
SURE To CARRY
ARIZONA s NAME
Maricopa County Has Grand
TotaIOf $93, 2S9 In United
War Work Campaign
Despite Many Handicaps

Arizonas final figures for the United
War Work campaign which closed last
evening will not be far from go per
cent of the old quota allotted the state
by the New York headquarters. That
is. the old quota has been doubly sub
scribed and so per cent has been added
thereto for good measure.
The state campaign managers feel
that Arizona has done its best, and if
any other state in the final accounting
is found in first place it at least had to
go some"
Official figures last evening, with
several counties to hear from and no
complete returns from any county
showed $5S1,615 already reported New
York is CARRYING the Arizona quota at
the old figures given out early last
summer. Based upon that old quota
Arizona now has 243 per cent and

per cent.
Wins Two Honor Huts
1t seems probable that when all re-
turns are in Arizona will have passed
$500 600 and possibly reached $500, 000,
One thing is practically certain and
! that is that two honor huts with the
most advanced arm of the American
army abroad will bear the name of
| Arizona" as the result of what the
people of the Baby State have done for
/ the United War Work campaign.
One of these huts is already earned
because Arizona was one of the first. if
not the very first state to cross the
line of the minimum mark, and the
first II states to accomplish this arc
each to have honor huts named after
them. The second honor hut comes, if,
in the final figures, Arizona is found to
be among the II states which farthest
passed their minimum quota.
Final figures will be needed to show
what four counties in Arizona will
have honor trucks named after them.
The four counties in the state which,
corporation gifts not included, farthest
| pass their minimum quotas Will be
awarded these honors. Yavapai county
is certain to be one of these and ella
is sure to be a second.
Maricopa Makes Fine Showing
Maricopa county's total is s93.2SS
which includes corporation gifts of 81
600. For the purpose of the honor
truck competition, Maricopa has a total
of SS6,2 SS, which is IA per cent of her
minimum quota. one of the best show
ings made in the state.

Contest Rumor Dies Out

Contest Rumor Dies Out
The canvaSsed returns OF this county
have not all been totaled vet, but the
closer contests We're figured up by the
clerks and the election of Galbraith,
republican, for the legislature over
Goodwin was established by a majority
OF. seven. a gain of two for Galbraith
over the unofficial count. This makes
Maricopa's legislative delegation solid.
The talk OF a gubernatorial contest
never very strong, has all died out. At
first when it was evident from the
scattered returns that Campbell would
have a majority, there were few dem
ocrats who predicted a contest on gen
oural princmples. If it turned out that
the figures were very close. But it
was evident nearly two weeks ago that
they would not be painfully close.
Started by Joke
Then there came a story, started in
the way of a joke at Bisbee. that a mis-
take had been discovered by which
90 votes had been given Campbell that
he ought not to- have had. and on the
heels Of it there was a report that ia
ballots on which voters had voted for
the straight democratic ticket had been
thrown out in Greenlee County because
the voters had written in the name OF
j. II. Kirby for state tax commissioner
II turned out that in one precinct
seven such ballots. aid been rejected
on the ground that they were marked
ballots, but in all other precincts where
such ballots We're found they were
counted.
That they were marked ballots an0
should not have been counted. is evil
dent. There was no such office to be
voted for as tax commissioner, and the
voters wrote the name of Kirby anC
the office, sometimes at the top of tn,
ballot sometimes at the bottom anC
sometimes in the margin at one side
If such entries on a ballot should bt

marking a ballot would go by thu
