 Arizona's schools ought to be supplied with Arizona teachers. At Tempe Normal School the state has provided splendid equipment for teacher training. The dormitorieS are modern buildings, completely furnished, and as comfortable as a city home. The table board offered at the dining hall is abundant and substantial. The campus of 50 acres is one of the most be- autiful spots in the state, with it's green lawns, avenues of shade trees, and it's fourteen at members are especially chosen for their training along educa- tional lines and bring to their work the inspiration of the best universities of the country east and west. The training school is regularly organized public school with over three hundred pupils in all grades from kinder garten up, thus providing the prospective teacher, before gra- duation, with a years actual ex- perience in teaching under com peteut supervision.
 Beside the regular teachers course, opportunity is given for the training of special teachers in art, manual training, home economics, commerce, agricul- ture, or kindergarten. Those who thus prepare themselves may expect salaries considerable above the average and the de- nand for such teachers is good. Opportunity is also given stud ents pursuing the regular teach ers' course to elect a certain amount of work in one or other lines, thus strengthening their course and giving an added value to the regular diploma.
 The graduates of Tempe Nor nal School receive a diploma which entities the holder to teach for life without examina- tion in the schools of Arizona, California, or any other state in which credentials are ognized at all. Such diploma is as valuable to it's posseSSor as is capital to the bushes man, yield ing, as it does, a certain income.
 Those students who find them selves unable, because of lack of facilities, to finish a high school course at home, may en- ter the third year high school at Tempe Normal School and upon IoE 1f work will be admitted to the teachers course. Such students are admitted to all dormitory privileges at the same rates as the professional students.
 The rates for board and room in the dormitories are maintain. ed at as low a figure as is con- sistent with existing prices of supplies, and most students will find that they can live in the. dormitories at a cost but little, if any, in advance of that en- tailed at home.
 The life in the dormitory is a valuable experince for any young man or young woman, tending, as it does, to broaden the views, to develop consideration for the rights and comfort of others, and to establish habits of decision and self reliance. The friend ships formed in dormitory asso- citation are usually the most. genuine, trueSt, and most last ing of lifetime.
 With twenty acres of delight full lawn, with tennis courts, basket ball courts and athletic field, there is ample opportunity for wholesome recreation during. leisure hours, and the surround ing country offers many attrac- tive routes for healthful hikes" and pleasant spots for picnic parties and field excursions. Social clubs and literary socie-' ties add to the opportunities for self improvement and social en- joyment, and the live student has no occasion to find time hanging heavy on his hands.
