S.. ACADEMY NEWS NOTES
(REPoRTED)

A large crowd of parents and
patrons attended the Parent
Teacher session Monday even
ing where the following subjects
were discussed: Public senti-
ment toward correct usage is
necessary to a successful func-
tioning of the Better Speech
Campaign; home libraries and
the reading habit; cooperation
of home and school in creating
a study atmosphere for the stu
dents and the necessity of elimi-
mating school night parties; the
urgent need of directing public
sentiment along the lines of fair
school legislation in order to
get equalized distribution of
school funds throughout Ari-
zona. The second meeting of
the Parent Teacher organiZa-
tion is planned for early jan
uary. At that time it is proba-
BILE that Principal L. B. McMul-
len Of the Flagstaff Normal will
be present to address the public.
The school has joined the State
High School Debating League
for the debating season. The
question at issue is. Resolved:
That legislation to restrict i'm
migration into the United States
is impracticable. injurious to
industrial development and un-
necessary" Letters are being
mailed to various sources for
material on the subject, and
immediate work is to be done in
the English classes in debating
preparatory to selecting the de-
baters.
The Academy basketball five
will journey to Holbrook today

orous drill pending a return con-
test from st. Johns about Dec.
II. The cheering squads are
likewise doing consistent work.
The Better Speech Project
this week is the pronunciation
of AND, WHY and WELL. 1t
is necessary to cut the and short
in sentences, but we should not
make it 'un." Much of the
laziness of saying ~" for why
can be avoided by not using the
why at all unless there is evil
dent need of it. The same is
true with the word WELL, es-
peciaIly in asking and answer
ing questions.
