ALL IN READINESS
FOR CLOSING WEEK
Of TEMPE NORMAL

TEMPE, June 2.-The Normal
school is universe apart from the
rest of this stellar space. Universe
is a big idea and quite inclusive, yet
that is about the only figure that will
adequately stage the doings and the
thoughts of the Normal. From the
little children in the kindergarten up
to the dignified and august Colonel
Irish and DIR. Mathews, from the
somber job of peeling the potatoes
for dinner to the weighty decisions
in the office and at faculty meetings
relative to the policy of the school,
all moves serenely and harmoniously
towards the goal of making fit hun
dred graduates next week.
The gardener is trimming up things
about the grounds getting ready for
company. Others are dusting and
digging out the cobwebs about the
rooms that company won't think too
i'll of our state normal.
Programs are being prepared for
various affairs to take place in the
next few days and lists of graduates
from the eighth grade training school,
the high school course and the pro-
fessional graduates of the Normal
proper.
The eighth graders sat in row
in front of an audience yesterday
morning made up of fond parents,
happy teachers, pupils and friends.
A short program of music, few
words and the presentation of the
be-ribboned diplomas and then the
hand shakes and the congratulations
from students, teachers and visitors.
Last night the junior senior re-
Hnnfjny1 q MI an a

time made all feel that school life is

laureate program of music, worship
and sermon All the local churches

Monday the big circus day program

the alumni association.
The rest of next week: Something
every day to be announced later
Next year there will be no high
school work in the Normal except the
one years work. or the ninth grade,
which is really the last year of junior
high school. 1t should be noted by all
interested in our public school work
that thS SIIlOOl NOTh DtlIlS uOne by
the Normal does not deduct from the
amount of money received by the
public schools of Tempe, as all the
students in the Normal are counted
in the public schools. 1t is quite
essential to the proper equipment of
our teachers that they have the actual
practice in teaching and it can't be
done unless certain number of town
pupils attend this training school.
