CAMPBELL SPEAK At
NORMAL ON TUESDAY

UlIITlHk Ult lUkUDHt !
TEMPE, May Ex-Governor and
Mrs Campbell visited the Normal or
Tuesday, took dinner in the dining
hall and spoke at a special assembly
at 1880 p. IN. Four pieces of patriotic
music were sung in honor of Me-
mortal day. One of these was duet
by Prof FELTON, and Miss Campbell.
DR.. Matthews introduced Mrs
Campbell, who told the girls that
when she attended school she never
dreamed she would be governor
wife. If she had thought such fate
possible she would have learned how
10 dispose of her feet while sitting
on platforms and would have learned
how to make speeches. She advised
the girls to prepare to be governors
wives.
Governor Campbell was introduced
ana began his address by telling the
students that he was enjoying him
self because of the student and the
young life atmosphere. He told them
that if they ever made permanent
friends they would make them IN
school. for few people make friends
after they are 80.
The governor took occasion to give
some severe thrusts at the unpre-
paredness of some teachers in this
state TO teach the real things needed.
He said that the things most of tEem
tried to teach were incidental to the
things that ought to be taught he
told of trip through the state when
he made many stops at country
schools and did not find a teacher
who knew who the chief justice is
and only two teachers knew the
United States senators from Arizona,
and the students knew absolutely
nothing about what It takes to make
a citizen. At least he could not get
them to give hin any evidence that
they knew anything about the ma
ton and what it means to be a clti-
zen. In this connection the governor
voiced sentiments in harmony with
UniteN States Commissioner Tigert in
one of his speeches in the valley.
These for the Dead
Oleanders, roses, sweet peas, ivy.
violetS and other tokens of green and
bud were daintily woven by loving
hands into IS wreathes by the mem
bers of the different churches OF
Tempe on Monday and Tuesday.
Members of the American legion
gathered up these precious remem-
brances and gently conveyed them to
the city of the dead, where their COM
rades sleep. The task of making
these flowers and green into the regu-
lation form for the soldiers graves
was not an easy one at this time OF
year. when the flowers are not so
plentiful as at other times. At first
it seemed that it would not be pos
sible to get the required number, but
to the delight and surprise of all
there were more than enough and
those who helped make them, from
the little girl who knew little about
sorrow from war to the aged grand
mothef waiting TO join her soldier
companion in the beyond, enjoyed
the task and put more love and prayer
into the work than real labor.
From as early as o'clock in the
morning residents of Tempe were on
their way with flowers for the graves
of the baby or the grandfather. BY
noon the cemetery, cut from the edge
of the desert, looked as though angels
had been there and waved a magic
wand over the bare ground, causing
The flowers to spring into bud and
cluster and wreath.
The community cannot help being
L little cleaner and sweeter because
the dead were there and were re-
menbered by relatives and friends.
If the cities and villages of the land
did as well as Tempe, the nation is
A better nation today than it ever
was in history.
Many homes suggested their love
for the flag in the display that was
made. The business houses were
closed at noon and the afternoon was
complete holiday for the majority
of residents.
The Normal Alumni
Thirteen hundred and sixty-two
invitations have been sent out by the
Tempe Normal Alumni association
inviting members to gather at the
Normal for the closing festivities of

to entertain and provide a good time
for every one. DIR. Matthews has
turned over the keys of everything
on the grounds to the members and
has told them to do what they please,
just so they leave the buildings and
the office secretary. They will be
needed next year.
