INDIAN PUPILS OFF
 FUR VACATION WORK

The Phoenix Indian school nas closed one of the most satisfactory years in it's history Many Of the pupils are now preparing to go to their homes to help their parents harvest their crops and clear land so that it may be leveled and made ready for irrigation.
 Those remaining will either stay al inc school to help with the necessary work or will go out on the ranches to telp hay, harvest. pick melons and work on the dairies. Many of the small CT boys will work in town doing yard work and chores about the homes. Quite a number are now employed by the day and by the month.
 Ranchers find the Indian students very satisfactory help. so much so that at times it is impossible to supply the demand. Anyone desiring help should phone f61D or call at the school and make arrangements with H. W. Grat- tan, superintendent of industries.
