A Nation No Greater Than

A Nation No Greater Than Its Women.
 Some one has said, "A nation can be no greater than it's women."
 How about the 27,613,094 girls un- der twenty-four years of age in the United States? A million girls edu- cationally, spiritually and physically right! What nation we could be and would be for good!
 Do you know that the Young Wom- ans Christian association is not only great national but an international movement for girls and young women?
 Do you know that this same organ ization is helping girls to have
 A broader outlook.
 A unity of purpose.
 Increased desire for service.
 Establishment of higher standards of thought and action.
 An efficient, constructive plan of work, study and play.
 What besides these could you possi- ply wish for your girl?
 While we have no organized Y. w. c. A. in Flagstaff we are not deterred from lending our support to the na- tional organization.
 We are anxious to take stock in Flagstaff and as all good concerns do this at the beginning of every new year, we are instituting Service" column on this woman's page.

 Meeting Success.
 The meeting of the Literary section of the Woman's club was full of in- spiration and interest. It was the opinion of all that to do justice to the prose writers of Arizona one needed at least years study. No state in the union has been the source of as much inspiration for writers as Ari- zona. Both scientist and poet; novel, ist and narrator find in the wonder land of America food for their pen. We can only mention a few writers:
 George Wharton James-Arizona the Wonderland; Indian Blankets; Basketry; Indians of the Painted Des- ert.
 Will H. Robinson-Man From Yes terday; Knotted Card; Story of Ari- zona.
 Zane Grey and Harold Bell Wright, novelists.
 Mrs. Hueston = Happy Hunting Grounds; Legend of Superstition; Mountains.
 Edith Lockwood-T Tragedy of the Hour; Something Fierce.
 Burton Durand-The Lure of Gold; Mannella's Way.
 < | : | students Leave;
 Teachers Return.
 We know not. which was the most general in the week just past-the ex- odus of our college people or the homecoming of our teachers. In the public schools we find Mrs. Kennedy back from Phoenix, where she con fesses to hilarious two weeks of din- nn pnl I,rnahaAnC an1 lnrn>c M.c- Linney and Miss Leedum, while keep ing a great deal to themselves, con fess jolly two weeks spent in Hum- boldt. Miss Anderson returned from holiday visit at her brothers in Clarkdale.
 Over at the Normal similar con- dition prevails. Sunday trains were met by the "stay at homes" and rested looking teachers took up again the work for the remaining year.
 Unfortunately the town loses some of it's young people, home for the holidays only. Miss Elizabeth Hen. messy returned to Hollywood, and Miss Eunice Rabbit to Los Angeles. All have pleasant memories with which to begin the New Year.
