On Saturday, June 25th, the
Boy Scouts Of the Snowflake
Stake, and a number of the
Scouts fathers. will leave on
the Apache train for Cooley.
From there a short hike will be
made to a beautiful spot on
White River, where camp will
be made. The Scouts will re-
main in camp for three nights
and return on the train Tues
day, the 18th.
Arrangements are practically
complete for a splendid trip for

Apache Indian reservation, but
Supt. Chas. l.. Davis is very
willing to allow the Scouts to go
to the river to camp.
1t has already been found that
q large number of the Scouts
are going to take advantage of
this excellent opportunity to see
the White Mountains and to en-
JOY a few days among the won
ders of nature. This event will
no doubt become an annual
affair.

University Of Arizona
Showing Fast Growth

The University of Arizona,
although hampered to some ex-
tent by lack of funds. is enjoy
ing an extraordinary growth.
It has been moving ahead, one
might say, faster than the state
it serves. for the financial needs
of the institution have become
so large that appropriations nec-
essary to keep it going have
become a consequential part OF
the states tax levy.
. New buildings constantly are
needed, and, despite the urgent
need, they are not completed
with desired rapidity. 1t costs
more than a million dollars a
year to conduct the university.
8 In the May issue of a bulletin
published by John Wiley & Sons
bf New York City, a house pub
fishing scientific and technical
books of various kinds, there
was given a summary of the
schools, colleges and universi-
ties of the United States. The
article was unbiased, being writ
ten voluntarily by member OF
the firm who visited the uni
versity some time ago, after
making trips to other similar
institutions in the west. An
excerpt from the article says:
Reports from 38 publicly sup
ported state and municipal. uni
Eversities and colleges to the In
stitute for Public Service, New
York, make it possible to COM
pare the increases in their at
tendance between 1914 and 1920.
The most rapid growth is that
reported by the University Of
Arizona, where the attendance
In 1920 shows an increase OF 436
per cent over that of 1914. In
1914 the registration was 375,
and eight degrees were con-
ferred. In 1920 the registration
was 1916 and Ga degrees were
conferred.
ITO one who has not visited
the campus in six years. it is
almostunreco gnizable, for num-
Der of handsome buildings have
been constructed, including a
new engineering building, which
is as fine as any in the country.
1t is splendidly equipped, espe-
cially in the department of min
ing and metallurgy, which will
rival that of any American min
ing college. This year it drew
students from 26 states and .
number from foreign countries.
For the future, there is to
be a one-mill tax on the prop
erty in the state (1.3 mills for
1929 which. with the United
States land grant money, will
yield approximately 81, 900, OOO
for the next two years, thus in
suring a growth in physical
equipment to large extent
commensurate with the growth
in attendance. - Prescott Cou-
