Probably number of people who

disappoint the audience, recreation

be played on the photograph.
But little did the audience dream
what an amazing photograph it was.
Miss Clarl1's golden notes, emanat-
ing from the grille of the New Ed

all their beauty. Suddenly was heard
another voice, or rather the same

ANTI-TUDERCULOSIS
SEAL MAY Be ONLY
ONE SOLD In STATE

A suggestion which may mean that
the tuberculosis Christmas seal will
be only the seal sold in the state OF
Arizona. was made at conference
of the local committee together with
the state executive secretary.
This suggestion which will be act
ed upon is to suggest to the merch-
ants throughout the state, all OF
whom realize the problem OF tubcr-
culosis and what it means, purchase
for sale only the official Christmas
seal. This would eliminate all seals
and would undoubtedly add consid-
cradle money which can be used in
the work in this state.

TEACHER COURSE
IS TAKEN To THE
DISTRICTS NOW
CJournal-Miner Capital Bureau)

NJOurnal-Mller Capital BQreau)
PHOENIX, Dec. GA very sue
cessful experiment in conducting a
new kind of institute has just been
completed in Apache. Navajo and
Coconino counties. Instead of gen
eral county institutes being held. to
which the teachers were required to
come, Miss Toles. the state superin-
tendent of public instruction, ar
ranged to take the institutes not only
to the teachers, but to the COM
munities as well, and the programs
were organized to be OF value and
interest to both.
This plan was madc possible by
the new law under which all insti-
tutes have been placed under the di-
recticn OF the state board OF educa-
ton, instead of the counties as in
the past. In accordance with this
party consisting of DR.. Henry s.
Curtis, the foremost authority on
health education and recreational ac-
Invites in the country, and Miss
Elizabeth McCrickett OF the State
Normal college at Ypsilanti, Mich.
who returned at the request of
number who heard her last year at
the State Teachers association, Mr..
Homer Davis OF the state department
OF education and Miss Toles made a
tour OF the three counties President
McMullen OF the Northern Arizona
Normal school, and President Mat
thews OF the Tempe Normal school
joined the party for several meetings.
In order to reach a greater number
of communities, and also to make the
fullest possible use of the speakers,
the party travelled for part OF the
time by automobile, maintaining
close schedule that included three
full sessions a day-morning, after
noon and evening, and even two
meetings on Sunday at Cooley at the
urgent request of the trustees who
had themselves attended the meet
ing at St. Johns, and insisted that
Cooley should not be overlooked
The result was something ap-
preaching an educational revival.
Many OF the communities, being off
the railroad and main lines OF travel.
had seldom had an opportunity to
hear educational speakers OF note,
and their response was remarkable.
People came long distances to attend
the meetings, from babies to grand
parents, and the audiences were
larger at the end OF the meetings
than at the beginning; some in fact,
were so interested that they not only
attended the meetings in their own
locality, but those i'll neighboring
towns. Extra sessions had to be
sandwiched in at the urgent request
OF places not on the original schedule.
From every point the experiment
has been a success. 1t has given the
teachers and parents an opportunity
to hear speakers that the remoteness
OF the communities and their dis
tances from the railroad had made
it impossible to hear in the past. yet
the expense per county was less than
the old institutes. 1t has promoted
a more cordial relationship between
teachers and the public; and Incl
dentally, the speakers have gone
away with high opinion OF the in
telligent and progressive interest OF
the people OF Arizona in education.

lome.
1t wasn't until they had gone to

hey were so happy at home and that
hey had just grumbled for no reason

Listen, children" said Mother

Never before have any of my chill
dren wanted to leave me. knew you
couldn't live away from home. But l
thought I'd let you see for yourselves.
Ny friend, Mr.. Wind, promised he'd
bring you back to me again, and he
did!"
Just then the waves heard some
children laughing as they ran towards
the ocean on the southern part of the
coast where it was very warm.
"Oh, ocean, how we love you," they
cried.
Later in the day many people
came and swan in the beautiful ocean
and the fairies sang as they rode over
the breakers in their boats Of foam.
