LAU GIvESTA
AT HIGH PIT. A.
Tells Of Mental DEVELOPMENT OF
Pupils From 12 to IS Years
of Age.

THE Psychology OF the High
School Age" was the subject of
Arnold Lau, principal OF the high
school. at the monthly meeting of
the High School Parent Teachers
association, last night, in the
school auditorium.
In speaking OF the school life OF
pupils, Mr.. Lau covered the various
periods or stages of the children
from the ages OF IL to IS years.
The first stage" Mr.. Lau said, lis
the adolescent or awkward stage.
The pupils are, so to speak, in a
new world and are conscious of
each act and hesitant about doing
things because they are afraid
everyone is watching them. This
period is followed by a feeling OF
over-confidence in which the chill
dren have wise or authoritative
feeling.
This entire time between the
ages of II to Is years is a gradual
development toward manhood and
womanhood and is covered, in most
cases, by mental change that later
becomes part of the period. A diff
ferent attitude is taken and the
child becomes more observative
commences noticing people, forms
social companions and starts on
the road, either to right or wrong
I'm all, the thing of great i'm
portance Is the forming of these
habits and the different ways OF
looking at things which are very
apt to color the boys or girls lie
During this time they need wise
and sympathetic direction.
They are, in a way, grown w

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. L.
Influenza is epidemic in California,
according to a statement issued by
the state board of health today.
During the past week, 1000 new
cases Of the disease were reported in
the state, DR.. William l. Diclie, sec
retary of the board stated today.
State health officials declare, how
ever, that there need be no cause for
alarm over the spread of influenza
as the cases reported are without ex-
oeption Of extremely light character.
Guy p. Jones, director of public
health information, declared that the
state board feels no apprehension due
TO the large number of cases repcrt-
ed.
There is no chance of the disease
becoming as serious as in 1852, it
is believed
Few deaths from influenza were
reported to the board in spite of the
large number of cases reported. Pub
lie Health officials stated that many
persons who have the disease con-
tinue in their regular pursuits with
out knowing they are influenza suf-
fererS.
This condition, it is said, is causing
a wide spread of the disease.
According to Jones the health de-
partment expected a recurrence Of
influenza in light form this year,
as it is known to come in succeeding
waves, finally dying out entirely.
The disease is said to have come
from New York, where this winters
epidemic reached its peak February
s. 1t is thought the epidemic here
will have reached its height at the
end Of three weeks, after which
steady decline is anticipated.
Jones stated that the state board
expects many more cases to be re-
ported this week than last.
The disease seems to be general
throughout the state, sections of Cal
ifornia varying little, in the number
of cases reported.

COMMUNICATED

State Superintendent of Banking,
Jonathan S. Dodge, made an an
nouncement this morning which will
be acclaimed with JOY throughout the
length and breadth of the county. His
statement is nothing less than that
the Farmers. & Merchants Bank OF
Imperial has been reorganized upon
an entirely sound basis with ade-
quate capital and personnel in the
directorate and management which
makes certain in advance of the con-
fidence and full cooperation of the
people in general and the patrons IN
particular. The bank will open its
doors for business Monday morning.
The following well known citizens
and capitalists will be in charge OF
the ship: J. A. Harris, successful
farmer and gin operator, president;
Ernest Shacklett, experienced banker
vice president and manager; Geo. C.
Damron, C. T. Gibson, Mr.. Lydig, W.
J. Doran and j. H. Holland, directors.
Messrs. Damron, Gibson, Lydig and
Holland are we'll known as success
full farmers and stock men who have
a clear vision of the practical side of
these industries and the other direc-
tor, vi. J. Doran, is director and vice
president Of the Citizens National
Bank of Los Angeles and brings ali
needful strength to the institution
from a banking point of view.
The capital is $4,000, which is
fully active and available for all of
the banks necessities.
Considerable credit for the happy
outcome of this situation is due to
the efforts of Yale C.. Porch, repre-
sentative of Mr.. Dodge, who has been
in charge since the first of the year.
Mr.. Dodge points with pardonablc
pride to the fact that no bank under
the direction of the State Superin-
tendent Of Banking has failed since
1909.

county. We have combatted and lived
through the experiences which go
with desert pioneering. We have at

the county and as l have been figur-

Editor Imperial Valley Press:

nouncing my candidacy for county
recorder at the 1922 primaries and
general election. In taking this step,
am trying to make the matter i'm
personal as far as one can consider
any question which is bound to touch

tions which it seems to me should

Nothing comes ahead of ability to
fill the office in a satisfactory and
efficient manner. My preparation for
this has been an experience of four
years in the recorders office of this
county. By reason of the previous
experience which had had, it fell to
me to a very large extent to organ
ize the system which has since been
in use in the recorders office of this
county and as chief deputy had the
responsibility of putting the system
in operation and keeping it in oper-
alton. With what success l did this

Singles Champion

New York, Sept. 2-Last night,
after Messrs. Tilden and Johnston cap
tured the two opening Davis Cup
matches from the Australians on the
turf courts at Forest Hills, real well
come Davis Cup dinner was given to
the American and foreign stars ut the
Vanderbilt Hotel.
France. Spain, Australia, Japan and
America were represented in person.
Virtually all of the officers of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton, the umpires and well-known
players of yesterday. as well as today,
were in attendance.
Julian s. Myrick, president of our
tennis association, acting as genial
host to our competitors. All the for
eign players were given hearty well
come. Judging from their apprecia-
tion Of this hospitality, they all as
sured us of their certain return next
year. This, of course, is assuming
that we retain the cup.
Gerald Patterson, the popular cap
tain of the Australian team, was the
first speaker introduced. Hospitality,
which was the keynote of every speech,
was emphasized in his talk. They all
feel that as long as America holds the
trophy our hospitality and good fellow
ship will accelerate the Davis Cup
competition.
Gerald said 1--WE will keep on COM
ing until we win. for there is nothing
more pleasant than coming to America.
Suddenly he realized that he spoke as
II Australia had already lost the Gun
this year; WhereIpon. he added ito

dropped the two opening matches. and
after carefully considering the strength
ourselves by expecting to spill the
DOPE at this rather late date"
He also stated that "the absence
in this country of the Czecho- Slovaki-
ans was probably due to their inability
to appreciate the rate of exchange.
The Czecho- Slovakians did not speak
the same language. at least they could
not understand each other. SO Pat
