school subjects, with a faculty of
four teachers and a training school
of twenty-five pupils, with the single
stove heated building occupying but
a small fraction of the campus, to
the institution of today with it's build
ings and campus invoiced at approx
imately a million dollars, with it's
faculty of twenty-five specialists, with
it's student body almost wholly of
college grade, with at times seven
hundred people upon the campus,
not including the three hundred chill
dren in the Training School.
But the institution has only reflect
ed the growth of Arizona in popula-
ton and in wealth. 1t will be re-
state to show an increase, during the
last decade, of more than fifty per-
cent in it's citizenship.
1t is interesting to read the old
catalogs of the institution. According
to one of these, the first class to gra-
duate in 1901 consisted of four mem
bers, whose names it might be we'll
to mention: Misses Margaret Wallace
Clara Kendrick, Alice Campbell and
Maude Williams. The class of 1902
consisted of seven members, an in
crease of seventy-five percent, which,
by the way, is a greater increase than
that of to-day, which for the last few
years has stood at about thirty-five
percent. Approximately one hundred
students will be graduated from the
institution next year.
A history of the normal school
would not be complete without men
tioning the big and faithful men of
the state who have served upon it's
Board of Trustees. After all, this
Board is responsible for the policies
of it and is the legal rock upon which
the institution is founded. All can
not be mentioned, but one of the first
reports of the school bears the name
of A. A Dutton, we'll known in early
educational work. Again we find the
name of the late Allen Doyle, one of

changed the name and purpose and
established the Northern Arizona Nor
NAL School in the building which the
taxes heretofore mentioned had by
this time made possible, located upon
approximately one hundred and thirty
acres of ground south of the tracks
of the Santa Fe.
In 1908, boys dormitory was ad-
ded, now called Taylor Hall in honor
of the first president of the institu-
tion. Two additions have been made
to the small brick building, first built
to house the young men.
In 1907, girls dormitOry was auth
orized, since named for Frances H.
Bury, one of the first teachers in the
institution.
In 1911, a commodious dining hall
was built
In 1913, at special session of the
First State Legislature, Morton Hall,
named for Miss Mary Morton, now
Mrs. T. E. Pollock, was built; like
wise, the heating plant.
The Second State Legislature in
1915 appropriated money for the
building of another dormitory for
women, Campbell Hall, named for
Mrs. Hugh Campbell, widow of the
late Senator Campbell, who did so
much for the institution during the
last session Of the Legislature, though
at that time suffering from disease
which later cost him his life.
In 1917 the beautiful Ashurst Audi
torium, named for Senator Ashurst,
was built, and in 1919 funds. were
made available for the excellent new
Training School. Since the compile
tion of the Training School, no furth-
er buildings have been added, except
seventy-six summer cottages and a
dairy barn, which is just now being
completed.
The institution has always been
noted for the excellence of the work
that has been done, but it is far
cry from tbo biennial report of 1902,
made by President A. N Taylor, who,
by the way, was al recent guest of the
school, showing an enrolment of

by rock wall with appropriate pill

fenced against the depredations of

a quarter of a mile track, two hun
dreds and twenty yard straigh
way, has been developed. The Cot

stitutions, has been evolved by the
necessities of the summer school,
Laboratories, shops and domestic
science rooms have been remodeled

convenience of the summer group so

sible by the cooperation of the peo-
pie of the state of Arizona, it's Legis-

The Training School

in February, 1921, is a modern insti-
tuition, the building costing 100000
There are approximately twenty live
children in each of the eight grades,
besides the kindergarten. A critic
Teacher is employed for each grade
and each graduate of the normal
school must teach in the Training

The Training School is, and should
be, the heart of the Normal School.
In most institutions this is recogniz-
ed in principle but denied in fact. In
the Northern Arizona Normal School
all else revolves about the place
where the teacher teaches the teach

Music
Music in Arizona has not always
been an art. In the early days, it
was undoubtedly a tool whereby the
discontented and morose steer was
stupefied into repOse. 1t is worthy
of note that in the last few years an
effort has been made to raise the
musical standards high in the North
ern Arizona Normal School ard to
create for the people of the northern
cellent instruction in violin, voice
and piano might be obtained
Mr.. Ridgely was brought to the
school to start this movement, two
years ago this fall. Many Of the peO-
pie of Winslow have already seen the
results that two years can bring
forth. The writer makes the pre-
diction that within five years the
normal school will have a symphony
orchestra of fifty pieces and that it's

the growth in an education way, the
growth in student attendance, have
been made possible by the spirit of
cooperation, by the spirit of loyalty,
by the spirit of service displayed by
our board of trustees, by the people
of Flagstaff, by the students, by the
alumni and by the faculty of this
institution.
This spirit so abundantly manifest
ed by the school is felt over the
state. The legislature and the ex-
ecutive officials of the state feel it
and so do the school boards and
superintendent as is shown by the
fact that we have many more calls
for teachers than we can supply.
And so in presenting this article
my desire is to impress all
who read it with the value of the
spirit of service. In the language of
the embarrassed churchman welcom-
ing the new minister: MAY we all
be filled with veal and zigor."

from all over the United States, most

time or other come under the inf1u-

the famous John Dewey.

sidered to be a great nuisance but in
reality forming the places where the
children really live.
Children are allowed a great deal
of initiative and apparent freedom,
but one thing is apparent to a visitor
in the Training School, and that is
that a child will work harder by far
at a thing that be wants to do than
he will at the thing you want him to
do. PurposefuI activity is the rule
of the Training School. But this does
not mean that the fundamentals of
education are neglected.

The SPIRIT of SERVICE
BY President l.. B. McMullen

Of all the attributes that go to
make up a worthwhile member of
society, the most important is the
spirit of service. And yet, the spirit
of a man is an elusive thing. No one
can say it resides in the heart. Nor
can one say it is inherited and lies
in the brain. Neither can one say
that it inhabits a robust physique.
Employers of men try to reach it by
the following questions: Does the
applicant take criticism kindly?" rs
the applicant socially inclined?"
Does the applicant work we'll with
his fellows?" "Is the applicant loyal
to his job and to his superior Off
cers?" "Is the applicant of good
disposition "
And of all the questions asked
these are the greatest. Where one
man fails because of lack of ability
nine fail because of a lack of spirit.
And so it is gratifying to me when
nearing the end of three years
of service in the Northern Arizona
Normal school to note that, while
we have made great material pro-
gress, while we have made lawns,
built roads and walks, installed ten
foundation, erected cottages, increas-
ed our dining room facilities, enlarg
ed laboratories and work shops and
have planted trees and shrubs; while
We have made great educational pro-
gress, raised our ideals of student
ship, increased our faculty standard
both by advanced study on leaves of
absence and by the enlistment of
new faculty members having excel
lent preparation; while We have in
creased in numbers by thirty per
cent each year; while our students
of college grade have increased ono
hundred fold; while our summer
school has almost outgrown the hous-
ing capacity of Flagstaff; while we
have fifteen young men preparing
for the service of teaching where we
had not one: while all of this has
been accomplished; our most notable
growth has been growth in spirit.
All of these five things that l men
tioned-the growth in material way
The Winslow mail., 1923-09-21

unmber by thirty per cent each year !;
it's students of college grade have
increased one hundred fold; and it's
summer school has almost outgrown
the housing capacity of Flagstaff.
One of the most important things,
which is too often neglected in the
students life, is the growth of spirit.
Perhaps no other quality is needed
SO much in the teaching profession
as the right spirit. Without it no
teacher can be of much value as an
instructor, for without the spirit o.
service he will be unable to instill
I'M the students mind those ideals
which make for the highest type of
citizenship, and which are of most
value to one in the course of his
life. The greatest growth that the
Northern Arizona Normal School has
had, is that of the spirit of service.
With this rapid growth in mater
ial, educational and spiritual way,
the institution will ever continue to
render it's valuable service to the
state and the people.
Two classes of students are desired: ::
(1) high school students who have
completed two years of high school
work and find it impossible or incon-
venient to go further in their home
communities; (2) those students who
desire to prepare themselves to teach.
The number of those enrolling in
the first class will gradually decrease
as the State becomes older, but the
number of those preparing to teach
should increase rapidly. Our best
young women should be sent to a
Normal School so that they may serve
the State in the education of the
young Their diploma is an insurance
policy guaranteeing them self-sup-
port in case of family disaster. And
as for our young men-the demand
for teachers of mutual training, for
principals of our smaller systems and
for directors of athletics makes a
normal school education very attract
i've, at the present time.
You will make no mistake if you
decide to come to the Northern Ari-

The Northern Arizona Normal
School will open for it's winter term

has had a remarkable growth and
will undoubtedly continue to be one
of the foremost schools in the South
west. 1t has made great material
progress, built lawns, roads and
walks, installed tennis courts, light
ing systems and a fountain, enlarg-

The Normal School

The high schools of our country are
turning out annually an enormous
number of graduates. Most of them
are young-too young to marry, both
on account of immaturity and because
of the economic pressure which pre-
vents. These graduates owe a duty
to themselves and to the state. For
their own sakes they should advance,
not stagnate, and they should return
service to the state for the invest
ment already made in them which
investment amounts in Arizona to
approximately $1,000 for each gra-
duate.
At this point the Normal School

the real Old-timers. Judge Perkins
has served the state as Trustee of the
institution as has George Babbitt and
Tom Pollock, and in recent years, M.
|. Powers and J. G. Dolan, who pre-
ceeded the present Board consisting
of Sam w. Proctor and James Ken
nedy.
DR.. A. N. Taylor, the first president
of the school, served the institution
for ten years when he was succeeded
by DR.. Blome, whose recent death is
mourned by so many friends and
former students of the institution.
DR.. Blome was president from 1909
until 1918, when he was succeeded
by Superintendent G. E. Cornelius, of
Winslow Mr.. Cornelius was succeed
ed by President J. O. Creager, who
served until September 1, 1920, he
being succeeded by the present in
cumbent, L. B. McMullen.
1t is manifestly impossible, in a
sketch of this length, to go into the
many forces that have helped mold
this educational institution, but one
thing appears in the talk of former
teachers, presidents and students, all,
and that is that the spirit of the
school has always been line, whole
some and uplifting, due to the fact
that a new state usually has these
qualities and must have these quail
ties to live and grow. but due par
TALLY, in the case of the Northern
Arizona Normal School, to the fact
that it was located at the foot of the
San Francisco Peaks. which are a
constant source of inspiration TO all
its members
Campus
Possibly the most striking change
in the Northern Arizona Normal
Schools appearance in the last few
years has been the change in the
campus. The location Of tn e|
school has always been unexcelled.
It has been only within recent years
that money has been available for the
watering and for the development of
a campus that can be one Of the most
beautiful in the United States. In

must have an all around development.
Looking toward this development, the

enough SO that the graduates can as

In 1897 an appropriation of three
tenths of mill was allowed, but the

at that time, to find anyone to reform
or anyone sufficiently peculiar to be
classed as insane SO that the Legisla-
ture of 1899, under pressure from the
