The educators Of Arizona, to use the
vernacular of the plains, are "savvy.,
| They recognize and appreciate that
the taxpayers of Arizona demand a
Packard s education for their young
people, and they swarm here during
4 the summer for real constructive work.
Education in Arizona has advanced IN
the past ten years to such an extent
that It now ranks third among the
| states using Ayres' scale. L. B. Nc
Mullen. president of the normal, in a
recent editorial of The Pine, student
publication Of the school, said: ut is
/ now time for the educational people
to dig in and hold the ground already
canned Our present proud position
among the states is largely because OF
the fact that the citizens of Arizona
believe in education. They believe in
an excellent, expensive brand of edu-
cation and are willing to pay for it.
They buy education like they buy sad
dies, spurs apd ten-gallon hats. Solid
silver, steel treed, Stetson education
| is none too good for them. And they
are entitled to what they pay for. We
believe that the present cry for econ
omy in education is not cry for par
1 simony in education but that it is the
4 expression of a desire on the part of
the public to know that it is getting
full value for the money expended.
And in language which Arizona under
| stands, it is now up to the educa-
| tional forces of the state to increase
educational efficiency-to raise the
ideals of studentship, to assist in
Americanization, to help quiet the So
cial unrest, and SO help build great
commonwealth"
i Miss Celia Lawler Of the Normal
faculty, who has been interested in
i Americanization work for great
many years, is conducting such class
