Pretending

|, Oh, let's pretend rejoyous,
and chortle and seem gay,
though many things annoy us
and bore us day by day; for
men with sullen faces are
lemons, everywhere; they fill
our dwelling places with grief
and gloom and care. How often
in the morning we rise from
restful maps with balmy smiles
adjoining our chaste and clipper
maps. The old world seems
daisy, we chirp a cheerful note,
and all our woes seem hazy and
dreamlike and remote. We're
glad we are existing, we gambol
and we sing, while voting still
and visiting that life's a glad
some thing. And then the
crouch approaches, fresh risen
from the hay; no thought of
elee he breaches, no topic. blithe
and gay. He doesn't sing or
scamper, or raise a joyful sound,
and he's a dismal damper on
every one around. He suffers
from the willies, he huns no
cheer-up tunes; he overlooks
the lilies to talk of musty prunes.
His fantods are contagious, our
gladness dies away; we think
The world outrageous, and
strike for higher pay. And
thus one grouchy dutfer can
make our JOY take wing, and
make us sigh and suffer, where
we should smile and sing.

URGES ENDOWMENT
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL
U. S. Investigator Finds Eu-
rope Ahead of Us in Vo-
cationaI Training.

Endowments for the American pub
lie schools. instead of universities
and colleges of the United States.
was advocated today by Edith Nc
Cture- Patterson of the Federal Board
for Vocational Training, who has just
returned from an investigation of va
cational training in the puDlic
schools of ten countries of Europe.
Mrs. Patterson has reported her
findings to the federal board. which
will issue a bulletin with recommen-
dations for Improvement in the sys-
tenn now being employed for vocational
training.
Visits Ten Countries.
Mrs. Patterson visited ten coun-
tries of Europe and interviewed the
ministers of education in all of them
She declared she was surprised at
the small amount of illiteracy among
the masses of the countries she Vlsles u
ed as compared with the figures OF
the vocational board based on the
examination of men who enlisted and
were drafted into the American
armies during the war ihese nsutes.
according to the board, snow ina. .
fourth of the recruits couiu
neither read nor write the Ensilsh
language. ,
Elementary education of the masses.
instead of using great endowment sums
for the higher education of the few, was
urged by Mrs. Patterson.
s.In Denmark and Holland, l was
told " said Mrs. Patterson. "that scarce :
" a child above the age of seven could
not read and write
Best system in Britain.
Mrs. Patterson found the best voca-
tional educational system in England
She visited France. Belgium sweden
Germany, Denmark, Holland and Britain
and her Investigations included inter-
views with Gen. Allen and other high
officers in the army of occupation She
declared that these officers have become
imbued with the same idea-that the
masses must be better educated.
The Federal Board for Vocational Tram
ing now extends aid to public schools
whose departments of vocational train
ing conform with standards set by the
board on condition that the communities
in which the schools are located meet a
part of the cost of conducting the de-
partments There are no departments OF
vocational training in the washington
schools.

At present. he continued. no designs

MISS NETTIE BOYER
 DIES IN PHOENIX

Miss Nettie Boyer died at II O. clock Tuesday night, at Mountain Air sanitarium, Phoenix, and will be buried today at 2 o'clock from the Moore Undertaking Parlors, that city.
 Two of her sisters, Miss Mary Boyer of the Normal School faculty, Flag staff, and Mrs. Henry Paquin, of Hol- brook, left for Phoenix soon after receiving messages announcing the sad news.
 The Misses Mary and Nectie Boyer came here together from their home in Missouri in 1913. Miss Nettie was not in good health, and it was be- lieved the change in climate would be beneficial. For time she worked in the postoffice. Later she began to fail and about a year ago she was taken to a sanitarium at Phoenix.
 She was an accomplished young woman, of splendid character and lovable nature. Illness did not take away her cheerful optimism, and un- til the last she was happy and hope full Her death, though they knew it could not be long deferred, was a grevious blow to Miss Mary, who had consecrated her life to the care and comfort of the invalid.
 Deceased was only about B years old Before coming here she was principal of the grammar school in her home town, Festus, Mo. There survive her: Her mother, Mrs. Olive Boyer, of Festus, Mo; seven sisters Miss Mary Boyer and Mrs. Henry Paquin; Mrs. Lee Carron, of Flagstaff; Mrs Al Giebler, of Los Angeles; Mrs. Robert Stewart, of Jerome; Mrs. Frank Leffman, of St Louis; Miss Olivia Boyer, of Festus Mo-, and three brothers-John Boyer, of Can ada; Wm.
