COURT HOUSE DEMANDS
 A FEW SPRING REPAIRS

A large, overgrown chunk of plast- CT on the ceiling of the county asses sor's office, decided to leave suddenly Monday forenoon and Topped down on the devoted head of Clyde Poison, who was sitting underneath, doing fancy things with figures on the assessors account books. Aside from a slight cut on his hand and bump on his head, only an electric light shade was broken. At first it was thought the wreckage had been caused by Judge Jones dropping decision instead of merely handing it down, as is usually done in cases. There is a pretty well defined feeling that there should be a new court house, one that is large enough to stow away all the officers and give them room to handle the county business. Evidently the plast- CT on the walls feels that way about it, too.

THREE TOURISTS" SENT
 TO COUNTY HOSPITAL

Mrs. Clara Cummings and two chil- dren, girl about 16 and boy about six, arrived here a few days ago from Prescott, stopping at the Pine Hotel where Mrs. Cummings has been ill. She said she had been nursing in a hospital at Prescott, that she had bought two tickets to Kansas City, her former home. and was sick when the train reached here, she had left the tickets and her purse and money on the train, getting off here. Telegrams sent by Truant Officer J. D. Jackson brought back information that the woman had never been employed as a nurse at the hospital and that nc tickets had been sold for Kansas City from Prescott on the day claimed, but that two had been sold for Flagstaff
 The woman also claimed that hel brother in Kansas City owed her fol car. The brother wired that he didn't.
 The three were well dressed. The board of supervisors, tired of paying transportation to other states for in digents stalled here, yesterday sent the three to the county hospital tc stay until their friends send then money.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND
 THE NIGHT AT SEDONA

J. A. Fenstermaker pulling the bow and Mrs. Nettie VanDeren polishing the worries, St. Patrick's ball was op- ened with "Three Leaves of Sham rock"
 There were no decorations, not even wall-fowers after the music com menced. At midnight refreshments were served for which the ladies pres ent received all the crdit as usual.
 A short intermission was then given in which the vocal organs were exer- cised, while the dancers were resting. Then fioor-manager R. N. Smith call ed attention to the fact that the ther- mometer stood at 45 and there was no fire-which meant that it was nec- essary to start the blood in circula- tion, and his orders were carried out to the letter.
 Upper Oak Creek and Red Rock were well represented, also Jerome. Everything went so smoothly that even the floor had to fly up sometimes and catch some of our best dancers to save them fall.
 As the musicians played Home, Sweet Home" the barnyard fowls an- nOunceU Ine DTedh Ol udy, anu lh9 tired dancers left for home regret fully.
 ! Being represented by quality and quantity, Jerome's contribution ,con- sisted of one of her fairest and most popular daughters-Miss Lillian Cla- | baugh, who taught school at Red Rock for two years and won many friends during that interval.
 Keeping Red Rock well in the midst of the merry making were our friends, Fritz and Dolly Scheurman, and they, combining with the Purtyman girls, made blend of gaiety and sparkling , beauty unrivaled anywhere.
 Sedona has taken her place in the foremost ranks where it is question of producing a first-class entertain ment and with the crowd of young folks and their enthusiasm backed by the judgment and good will of the eld- CTS, she is well nigh unsurpassable.

STATE EDUCATION
 BOARD FACES BIG TASK

The state board of education is faced with putting across two big pro- jects as result of legislation enact ed at the recent session of the legis- lature, according to Miss Elsie Toles, state superintendent of education. Not that the state board is complaining of the task before it. The board request ed the legislation that brings about these two new pieces of work. The first big task is that of ar ranging the plans in every detail for carrying on the teachers institutes under the jurisdiction of the state board of education. Under the form CT arrangements, the teachers insti- tutes were strictly county affairs, ar ranged and paid for by the several counties. Under this plan the county sets the time, and the place for the meeting, the teachers coming from all parts of the county to attend the in stitute.
 Under the new legislation, the insti- tutes will be conducted by the state board. The speakers tollecture to the | teachers on professional subjects will be chosen by the state board. Instead of the teachers coming to the speak CTS, the speakers will visit the several communities and deliver their lec- ! lures.
 1 "The proposed plan will be a big improvement over the old one," said Miss Toles. By sending the speakers out to the teachers of the communi- ties We hope thereby to reach also the residents of the various communities as well as the teachers. This plan also will do away with the necessity of closing up the schools for two or three days as was customary when the teachers were expected to attend the institutes"
 The work of securing the desired speakers and arranging speaking schedules for them will have to be worked out in the office of the state superintendent. The state will pay for all expenses incurred in holding the institutes.
 The second big pice of work to be taken up by the state school board un- der new legislation is the matter of handling the certifcation of teachers The new law turns all of this work over to the state board of education Formerly this was handled by the state board of examiners. This board is to be abolished.
 Under the new plan, which takes effect next June, it is hoped to raise the standards of the teaching profes- sion of the state. Already the stand. ard is considered unusually high, ac- Nr. Tz1o. k,N tL<,k koa ,a,l ,e anxious to continue the improvement, wherever it is possible. Plans for this new work will have to be drawn uI and put into action within the next three or four months.
 Both of the bills that provide foi these new features in the administra, tion of the state school system were urged by the progressive school peo pie of the state. On the whole, il looks as though the new state super

WILL ELECT SUPERINTENDENT
 OF CITY SCHOOLS NEXT WEEK

The city school board is busy scan- ming the numerous applications they have received for appointment as sup erintendent of the city schools, to sue ceed Prof. o. H. Richardson, whose resignation, effective at the end of the present school year, was announced some time ago. Prof. Richardson has not weakened in his determination not to accept reappointment, feeling that the health of his family makes imper- ative change to another altitude.
 There are more than thirty applica- tions on file, from many states, and while the board feels they have an abundance of good material to choose from and are sure of securing a worthy successor to Professor Rich ardson, they intend making sure that their final selection will be of the very best man available. It is likely that they will make selection next week.
