Arizona republican., 1921-04-20

form a military committee which shall cooperate with the national guard in this matter. This commit tee should be formed at once, for the need is urgent. It is urgent even in a business sense, for the government, in addition to sending to Phoenix thousands of dollars worth of the finest equipment. will disburse to the national guard in the state nearly s100, 900 a year-all of which will be spent in Arizona. But the govern ment will not send it's equipment here to lie and rot, and as far as the guardsmen are concerned. they are ready to quit unless the public evince a desire for their services.''
 Another speaker who held the at- tention of the Kiwanians during his address was J. L. B. McMullin, presi- dent of the Northern Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff, whose subject was The Psychology and Philosophy of Education" In outlining his theme President McMullin spoke in part as follows:
 Education is a business. and l look upon it as a business. When the bell rings in the morning one fifth of the population of the United States gets up and dusts for school. It is an important business, and it is one which we must get away from the hindrances of tradition and out
 worn custom if we are going to make it the kind of business it should be.
 ''The new philosophy of educa tion
 recognizes the instincts of play. of
 mastery and, in the girls and young women, of maternity. It takes into account the definite parts that these 1 instincts have in the life of the indi- vidual, and 1t tries more and more to
 make the training of these instincts n T <1F | child. The new philosophy seeks for
 q strengthening of initiative and of stamina-moral and physical. Among the important things in 1 the modern educational system are | the tests which are being conducted extensively now. These tests are mental, physical and tests of achieve
 ment. At the normal school at Flag staff we have applied the tests, many 1 of the teachers even having taken | them, and we have divided the men | talsty of the school in four quarters. | And a startling result has been that we have discovered that If we could | take from the school those who make up the lowest quarter we would do | away with at least 90 per cent of our eases of discipline"
 Immediately after the meeting had been opened by President Royal W. | Lescher, four members of the Busi- | ness and Professional Women's club, who are taking parts in the min ! strelette' to be held at the high
 school auditorium on Thursday and Friday evenings, marched up to the | tables and sang several parodies on | famous songs, each parody having a 1 reference to that "siX-bit ticket I'm i going; to buyi"
