Editor Copper Era, Clifton, Arizona.

Editor Copper Era,
 Clifton, Arizona. Dear Sir:
 Not long since, I requested each teacher on the Morenci teaching staff to write me a letter stating her views as to the outlook of teachers in gener- al and for the Morenci district in par ticular.
 In reading over these letters I find a great many things of considerable interest, and decided to cull from each letter the thing or things which I thought important and which seem to have some bearing on the local school situation.
 I am inclined. to believe that these selections would be of more or less in terest to the public of this community, and am therefore asking that you give them space in your paper, ii possible, this week.
 Very truly yours,
 w. B. Lutz.

Against So

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 4.-Plans for
three year continuous campaig gn
against social diseases in North and
South America was considered at the all
American conference which opened here
Sunday. Tt was the first of a series of
regional conferences suggested by the
international health conference held at
Cannes, France, under supervision Of
the Lea gre of Red Cross Societies. e
The conference also considered prob
lens relating to medical Investigation,
education as means of controlling the
diseases, law enforcement, and protec-
tive social influences. Efforts that will
be made to formulate a program for a
three year trial based on the conten-
tion that any short period is inadequate
to demonstrate the efficiency of methods
either curative or preventive. W.
1t was the hope of some of the con-
ferees that the endorsement of, such a
program would carry the suggestion
that the treatment may be made com
pulsory and conducted under govern
ment control. .@

dissatisfaction if Governor Smith
should refuse their request. Sergeant
Cook said the majority were in favor
of the selection of Captain Napoleon
r. Marshall, who served in France and
returned with more decorations than
other member of the regiment.
