SCHOOL MEETING
FOR BETTER SPIRIT

A meeting of teachers and school
boards OF the schools In the North
eastern Weld League was held at Ke-
ota last Saturday evening to discuss
some proposals in the interest of
greater degree Of economy and bet
ter spirit In the athletics OF the
league.
Along the lines Of economy. there
were three proposals as follows:
/. That all schools agree to use
Of the gymnasium only one night each
week for practice games.
2. That no admission fees be
charged for the games.
3. That the lunch which 1t has
been customary to serve after the
game. be dispensed with.
II seemed to be the general opin-
ion that one night In the week was
about all that could be indulged by
any Of the teams without encroach-
ing upon the time the student should
devote to study; but this was a mat
ter that will be left to the different
schools to regulate as they deem
best. This leaves II this way: Ray
mer will expect that the general pol
Icy Of the teams will be to use only
one night per week for practice.
However. we cannot protest a
game II some other team should see
fit to use second night some week
thru the term for pactice.
As to admission to the games, 1t
seemed not advisable to eliminate
the admission charge, but q uniform
price Of 15 and rs cents was agreed
upon.
Unless admission fees were allowed
the expenses Of the teams would have
to be met either by the boards Of the
district, or by private subscription.
neither Of which appealed to those
present as proper substitute for the
moderate admission charge agreed
upon.
After some discussion, II was de-
cided to dispense With the lunch af-
ter the game.
It was generally agreed that bet
ter spirit prevailed this year than In
some former years. and we think that
all present were sincere in their ex-
preston OF a wish for more cordial
relations among the schools
Along this line, a good deal can
be done by those who are on the side
lines, and the attending public can
do much to aid or retard courteous
treatment of the visitors.
Mr.. c. O. Dodder made sugges-
ton that 1t would be wise to attempt
gone sort OF literary meeting. on
the plan of legislative body made
up OF representatives Of the different
schools. In which the young people
would propose laws, elect their Off
GERS, and appoint committees to con-
slider bills in the same way as their
elders. The value Of such an organ
tzation was readily admitted. but
the possibility Of getting the pupils
together and arranging details ap-
peared to be a task that no one SEEM
ed willing tc, tackle.
The Idea Is a good one, and worthy
OF further consideration.

 The hearing Monday promises to be lively, it is said, as numerous res idents of the Grand avenue district will offer testimony not only in the form of a petition for 'owl' service, but for better service in general

FORMER |OWANS
 TO HOLD PICNIC

Just eight years ago-June, 1915 a large number of former residents of Iowa organized the Iowa Arizona society. A. G. Hulett was elected its first president. For several years one and sometimes two picnics were held each year at the Col. Christy ranch, now owned by Shirley Chris ty. Riverside park or Eastlake park.
 The Iowa society together with most state societies discontinued their regular yearly gatherings during the war on account of the stress of other duties.
 The officers elected at the last meeting were Dr. J. c. Norton, presi- dent; Mrs. Uella $. Gates, secretary and A. G. Hulett, treasurer with Harry T. Duffy, ChalIes Randy, Err nest Hall, Bert Rinart and MT. Tel ford trustees.
 For some time past many of the Hawkeye residents of our state have been asking for get together meet ing and the officers are arranging for a picnic to be held at Eastlake park at as early a date as the park can be secured.
 In order that the attendance may be as general as possible, the regis ter of the society will be opened for former Iowaps to sign at the Hulett drug store, First avenue and Adams street. Notices of the date of the coming picnic will be mailed to all who sign. Addresses may be sent by mail to A. G. Hulett, the treasurer. Phoenix.
 Further notice of the arrangements of the details and date of the meeting will be given through the daily papers. Let all former residents of Iowa whether permahent residents of Arizona or not consider themselves appointed boosters for the coming re- organization meeting.

.OLD SPANISH TRAIL
 IN GOOD CONDITION

That the Old Spanish Trail from Phoenix to Ozona, Texas, is in good condition, and that the roads of southern Arizona are superior to even the latest highways along the route, are bits of information which have been sent to the chamber of com merce by Charles Hartmann, a local barber, who is making an automo- bile tour of the United States. His letter follows:
 Tn regard to the road conditions between Ozona, Texas, and Phoenix, can report them very good. We fol- lowed the Old Spanish Trail to OZona and found 1t very good all the way in dry weather We are laying over at Ozona on account of rain. I found Harry Locke's Ocean to ocean High way Book very reliable. It will keep you on the road and tell you the exact road condition. I notice they are making a new road almost all along the route, and the roads in southern Arizona beat them all so far. That is a wonderful road through the mountains via Douglas, Arizona"

AUTO '70BE
 ARM0RE:D
Equipped With Machine Guns---To Fight Bad
 Element in Frisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-An ;armored automobile is to be used by the police department in op- ,erating against thieves who work from automobiles, Chief of Po- lice O'Brien announced today. The armored automobile will be equipped with two machine guns and will be protected by steel two inches thick. The bandit element. accomplishing holdups and other crimes by means of autos, has become so numerous here that means more effective than those hitherto employed must be used to combat them, as well as to give better protection to life and property, and Chief zO'Brien is confident that this new device will not only tend greatly toward that end, but will safeguard members of the police force from the bullets of bandits while trying to make their get away.

THE SMITH-TOWNER EDUCA-
TIONAL BILL
BY Dr. Frank Crane

This is one of the most important measures
before congress. Everybody ought to under
stand and boost it, Hence this catechism.
What is the Smith-Towner bill?
1t creates a department of education, with a
secretary in the presidents cabinet, thus bring
ing education up to the level in importance of
war, the navy, the poStoffce, the treasury, etc
And (2) provides aid for education to the
states.
But 81 prohibits federal control of education
within the states.
Why should there be department of educa-
ton with a secretary in the cabinet? Because
education is far and away the most vital in
tereSt and business of the people of the United
States.
Does this bill mean the control of education
by the federal government? 1t does not. 1t
specifically provides that the states be left in
control.
Will the bill affect private and parochial
schools? Not in the least. This is purely a
state matter.
Is the policy of federal aid to state education
new? 1t is not 1t is continuance of the
settled and accepted policy of the nation since
its beginning. 1t is normal evolution not rad
ical change.
Why should the nation help remove illit-
eracy? W Because one-fourth of the men in
the draft were illiterate. (2) Secretary Lane
estimated the annual loss to the nation through
illiteracy at 826 million dollars (3) There are
100000 foreigners who cannot speak English
working in the mines of the United States 1t
is stated by the director of the bureau of mines
that to remove illiteracy here would save 400
lives and 100000 injuries annually. ~ Hit
eracy is not sectional. 1t is not southern
problem, There are 100000 illiterateS in New
York and $4,000 in Pennsylvania.
Why is illiteracy national danger? Because
the blatherSkite and the troublemaker appeal
most successfully to the ignorant.
Why should educational opportunities be
equalized all over the land? Because the great
est need for education is found where there is
the least taxable property. And because people
are more important than money.
Should the Weather states help the poorer
Surely. We all stand or fall together "A
square deal for ALL" said Roosevelt
What must a state do to get federal aid by
this bill? 1t must O) provide public school
opportunity of at least twenty -four weeks (2)
provide compulsory attendance at public or
private school of all children between seven
and fourteen, 81 make the English language
the basis of instruction, and (4) appropriate at
least as much money as it expects to receive
All this is long stride in the right drec-
ton.
There can be no solid and enduring democ-
racy that does not begin with child training
