THE BOILING SPRINGS

A FTER the wise men of the tribe
A had gone to counsel with Manitou
his wrath endured for many days.
And the storms came and the light
ming flashed and the thunders rolled,
and the tribesmen were much afraid.
Then when the storms finally had
ceased, the face of Manitou frowned
on the world for many weeks.
The sky was overcast and the cold
sun shown dimly through the clouds.
The streams that had one time danced
and sparkled in the sun no longer
flowed, but the waters stood still and
the fishes died and the water was foul
so foul that the Indians dared not
drink it.
Out of the east came cold winds
bringing grasshoppers which devOured
the grass and blossoms and plants,
and even the trees until no green
thing remained. And man and beast
alike were without food and the
world was filled with pestilence and
disease and the chosen people were
helpless and forlorn and children
ceased to smile and play.
Bad grew worse, until the chosen
people. troubled and afraid, knew not
whence to turn. SO their hearts were
filled with repentance, and with hum
bic contrite hearts they besOught the
Manitou that he might save them from
death And SO they prayed and fast
ed week by week and called upon the
Manitou to pardon their transgres-
sions and to stay the deadly plaques.
Hearing them, the Aanit0u took
pity upon the puny frightened people
and sent a lesser god from out the
sky, who travelled down the Holy
Mount at night until he reached a
spot where plain and mountain met
and there he smOte a rock. And
where he struck there gushed forth a
fountain of water. 1t was very fair,
but when the bravest of the people
tasted it, it was too bitter to drink
so bitter that no living man could
drink it unless his mind be pure and
his body strong.
brought spring, each sWeeter than
the other and more fair. And then,
STOPPING, he breathed the breath Of
life into the bubbling waters that all
who drank should he made whole and
cleansed of all disease.
But first he taught that those who
drank must come clean-purged and
repentant of their sins. And he gave
to all the chosen ones prayer, which
they must say before they stopped to
drink. And ere he left he cast into
the spring foWer-white and pure
and beautiful-as a gift to Manitou
SO the Chosen People, saved from
plague, drank at the spring and pros
pered through the years. Yet each
before he drank gave praise to Mani
tou and at the spring gave of his
choicest wealth-his wampum and his
beads and arrOwheads-thatM anitou
might know that he held sacred the
boiling waters which the god had
given
Through the years the boiling
springs remain though the tribesmen
long since have gone. And now the
tribes unite in giving praise to him
who gave the springs, and in his
honor they call them ManitOu, and 80
they now are called to this day.

After being almost consumed by
curiosity at the hammering and clat-

we learned that they were building
a toy village And such a quaint lit

candy pergolas and tiny shops where
each grade Will display their wares

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

In as much as an opening game, a
rather contrary branch Of the pas
tirle is satisfactory in the event of
a victory for the home team, it may
be accepted without the customary
grain of salt that Friday April 10th,
was more or less of a cheerful day
for our diamond fingers. In spite
Of the fact that there was no sun
shine in the air, the Lumberjacks
hit their way thru wind and sand for
nine innings, piling UP a substantial
score Camp pitched a wonderful
game and if it were not for the err
rors due to the bad wind, Winslow
would not have scored man Score:
n A. N. s., "a; Winslow, 10.
One prodigious sweep that would
have been homer on the sandy eX-
panse of the Sahara has brought
"Hoddy'' Stevens in the limelight
The Shiek, lean of waist and keen of
eye, looked with almost childish awe
at his team mates Holbrook was
five runs ahead. 1t was the lucky
seventh Buster was on first With
three and two on him, "Hoddy' gritt-
ed his teeth, eripped his bat and con-
nected with a fast one that had its
Termination somewhere in deep right
The batting spree was on. Swede
Johnson followed with a three bag
ger in the same direction Camp du-
plicated. Etter hit safely. 1t was
easy sailing for the Lumberjacks the
rest of the way.
The game was, played during ter
rifle wind and sand storm. This
made the fielding on both sides eX-
cusable Everybody who had Cog
giles used them. Camp pitched good
ball the six innings that he was in
the box, tanning nine men. Etter
struck out four. Score: n. A. N. s.,

1t is needless for us to delineate
or to defend the virtues Of baseball
as a scholastic pastimel While foot
ball ranks first as the leading sport
among our colleges, normal and high
schools, baseball needs no introduce
ton However, no team, whether
school, professional CT amateor, can
long exist without the normal sup
port of the community it represents.
Flagstaff fans, will and do support
a real baseball team Coach Drake
has such a team,-a c3lorfGl collec-
ton of human flesh that have brains
and speed.
In "Hoddy" Stevens we have one
of the fastest boys that ever donned
a ~ A. N. S. uniform Stevens was
placed on the States all-star team
last season. 1t takes brains combin-
ed with speed to hold down the sec
ond corner, and, believe us, sirs and
ladies, it will thrill you to watch the
shiek from down-state perform. He
has a good eye at the plate. Stevens
poled two homers during the Hol-
brook game last Saturday

end of the mound force. Camp is a

Note.-The ManitOu springs now
are famous the world over, but they
were known to the Indians for hun
dreds of years before they were dis
covered by the whites Even now 1t
is not uncommon to find arrOwheads,
beads and even bits of pottery about
the springs where they were thrown
by the Indians as gifts to Manitou.

consistent winner He is also a good
batter A good arm and keen eye
is a combination rarely found.
Etter, to our notion, is the clever
est defensive short stop in the state
so in the matter of shortfield resist
ance, the team is splendidly looked
after He is hard hitter.
With these boys forming the nu-
cleus Of a welI-biuIt team, Drake
should have little difficulty in giving
the fans OF Flagstaff satisfaction.
Holbrook will be here this after
noon at $3.50 and We would like to
see a crowd out. Flagstaff fans, we
need your support.
The probable lineup will be:
"Hoddy" Stevens, second base: John
son (Capt), catcher Camp. pitcher;
McWilliams, right, field; McGaugh,
third base; Black, center; Hanley or
Thornton, left field.
We were given a real treat in the
way of entertainments at chapel, We'd
nesday,-in fact glimpse of our
selves of infinite educational value
Along with it, too, we learned some
thing Of the frivolous and humorous
trend of cur faculty's thoughts and
we gained knowledge of their unu
sual histronic ability.
Having been requested to take
over" student chapel this week, the
faculty determined to exhibit its pc
dagogical brightness in an altogether
new way Every teacher, from the
most austere down, represented some
student; the feminine delegation
even going so far as to appear in
clothing stolen from Morton and
Campbell Halls. Needless to say, the
effect was uniquely picturesque
The scene was amy class room"
the prevailing behavior most typical
and the mental exterity of the stu
dent victims most subtilely protray-
ed. Verify, Bobbie Burns might have
iOycusly sat down and witnessed a
most conscientious response to his
plea--"O, would some power the gift
tie gle US, To see ourselves as others
see us"
The Glee Club will repeat it's re-
gular program tomorrow night at
Doney Park. The entertainment will
be held in the Community House.
The kiddies of the Training School
under Miss Julian and Miss Dock
stader are just as proud Of their work
and as capable of entertaining and
demonstrating in delightful manner
as the students of the Normal School.
Anyone who visited the Training
School last Thursday afternoon be-
tween four and five-thirty conuld not
help being delighted with the paint
ings the children under Miss Julian
have been working on for some time
and with the little fashion put on by
the children under Miss Dockstader
The fashions were copied from such
magazines as the Elite, making
the dollies look like regular fashion
models. A dainty tea was served by
the little tots, and altogether the show
was a success and the afternoon a
delightful one.

The necessity of making such a
decision arose from the refusal of the

fusal orders were given to the ma

The development of the syndicated
service is largely responsible for the
decadence in the fortunes of the
newspaper press as whole, Mr..
Abbot said, decadence manifested
In the steadily diminishing numbers
of the papers that survive.
Il would welcome any influence
which is brought to bear to make
newspaper columns cleaner and moro
acceptable to clean minded readers
than they are today-whether that
influence emanates from an agency,
from a school of Journalism or from
a church. I think the time is at
hand when there will be in the mind
of the educated journalist. such as a
school of journalism should produce,
a sharp demarcation between the
varying types of journalism, and an
other distinction drawn between a
circulation brought by the legitimate
methods of printing proper news, fea-
lures and opinion and circulation
obtained by the devices of the char
latan or the sensationalist."
