RECORDERS
 IN YEARLY MEETING

"Just like a family reunion" said Miss Edith Jacobs, county recorder, in speaking of the State Recorders as- sociation in annual session at Tucson last Friday and Saturday.

Some changes have been made in the work of registering that will be of particular interest to all voters.
 On Saturday evening, following the close of the meeting, the IA record CTS present gathered at the Santa Rita hotel, where they were rendered a banquet by R. B. Vinson, president of the association and recorder of Pima county. Miss Irene Bart, recorder of Coconino county, was elected secre- tary, succeeding Miss Jacobs.

NEW COURSES AT THE
 NORTHERN NORMAL SCHOOL

The summer session of the Normal school offers the teachers excellent opportunities to do advanced work in psychology, methods, industrial work, school management, practice teach- ing, opportunity class, rural school and junior high school.
 Specialists have been engaged for the summer session to present the most modern and acceptable methods in these courses. Mrs. Katherine M. Cook has been secured from the bu- reau of education at Washington, D. C.; specialist from the Los Angeles public schools secured for the oppor- tunity class; a specialist from Harris Teachers college from St. Louis for lectures on psychology.
 The junior high school is the latest step in modern education. It is a modification of the old seventh and eighth grades; it links the old with the new; it gives the student new ideas, new lines of work; it ties up his work between the elementary school and the high school.
 Principal Philip w. L. Cook, of the Ben Blewett junior high school of St. Louis, has ben engaged for the first term of the summer session to give courses in junior high school work. MT. Cox has had very fine training and equally successful experiences in Massachusetts and New York, is the author of the famous Solvay plan of study, is a member of the faculty of the Teachers college and principal of one of the largest high schools in St. Louis.
 Boards of education and superin- tendents of Arizona are urged to have a large representation at the North ern Arizona Normal school to get the latest ideas on junior high school work. It means reorganization of our course of study, holding the boys and girls in school longer period, giving them a new interest in school work and making their lives greater success.
