 DOROTHY RUTH JANTZEN. English IT. It is good to have Chandler, the spirit of whose school is said to be ex- cellent enter these columns with two interesting compositions. Will not all school people. teachers and pupils alike, understand what it means at this time of year ito be shut in from the great outdoors? And will not many who have witnessed the cere- monial of the Yaqui dance at Easter time enjoy a bit of information about those Indians?
 Last Thursday morning while my chum and I were walking to school we noticed for the first time, the green
 
 particular, was one of the most pleas ant mornings I ever saw. The noun tains appeared to be only a few miles away; and the noise that was made by various creatures echoed for miles. The more we talked about the differ ent features and sounds all about us, the more we disliked to go to school where we were to be shut in from the great outdoors. We felt as if we could walk all morning and never get . l&NII entered the school house aIli told
 many of the girls ana boys, who were not awake to the fact. that spring had come and that the warm weather had come and that the warm weather had

 NORA AUSTIN, 1923, Chandler High School. The Yaqui Indians The Yaqui Indians are natives of the northern part of Mexico. but many are seen here in Arizona because of
 the unfavorable conditions in their
 own land. The reason for this is a long standing dispute between the Mexican government and themselves The Yaqui river in the northern part of the state of Sonora is theirs Like the early American Indians. they wished to hold this land for hunting ground, without cultfvating or allow ing anybidy outside of their own tribe to live on it. The result was war. The Indians, who are terrible 1 fighters. continually made raids on the Mexicans, sparing nobody. At last. in desperation. the Mexican govern ment deported them in large numbers to section of the country called Tlerra Caliente, a very unfavora ble place for these mountainous people 10 live.
 Now, they are no longer a powerful tribe, but raids are still continued by some of the stronger chiefs Those that cross the border to Arizona are the more peaceful members who do not care for war Although they be- come efficient farm laborers, they re- tain many of their old customs and ceremonies, especially those pertaining to religion and burial

 The world is aSlame today with progressive thought. Governments that in the yesterdays were rigidly ! reactionary. are today almost danger ously radical. Expressions of today
 are the unclaimed thoughts of the yes terday When governments once be- Sln to contemplate this progress of ideas there will not be any further danger of armed conflict between ra dicalism and conservatism.
 There was a time when the advocate of governmental ownership was pub licly declared a dangerous and unde- sirable citizen. Today it is the wish and thought of the independent Amer ican voter. Radicalism espoused by the populist party in the early nineties
 was absorbed by the leaders of the older parties. and became part of their platforms. Those same princi- pies are now imbedded into our laws What, therefore, was radical thirty years ago is truly conservative today Theories proposed by radical labor leaders of today, in a score of years may seem ultra conservative and may it not even be said. that doctrines seemingly dangerously socialistic to- day. may. in a decade become i'm planted in our government. and be ac- cepted as ideal legislation?
 It is also believed that citizens will have q greater reverence for govern
 ment when laws are made to apply equally 70 the high and the low, the rich and the poor. When the I. w. w. has become a menace to government,
