WINSLOW HIGH GIRLS WIN
BASKET BALL TROPHY
(by ESTHER WILLIAMS

"A bad beginning does not neces-
sarily imply a bad ending"
The Winslow High School Girls
Basket Ball team proved this in the
Northern Arizona Tournament which
held at Flagstaff.
Thursday evening they played the
Flagstaff Normal girls and owing to
the odds which are always against
a team on strange floor, and the
superior playing of the Flagstaff
Normal girls; the final score was
7-20 in favor of Flagstaff. The Win
slow girls fought hard, however, and
played a clean game.
Saturday afternoon the Winslow
girls played Williams High School
for the cup. All the girls were in
good spirits and looking forward to
the winning of the cup.
The game was called at $50 and
refereed by Miss Payne from Flag
staff. Both teams appeared on the
floor ready to fight for the good
cause. The Williams team made the
first free goal-incidentally it was
the last one. That seemed to awaken
the Winslowites and the game really
began. There was fast playing and
splendid team work. The time SEEM
ed to fly and every one was excited
The Winslow boys gave some yells
for the team which also helped them
in their playing At the end of the
game the score was 3S1 in. favor of
Winslow.
The cups were presented by Mr..
Brake; One to Snowflake boys as
being the Champion boy players; the
other to the Winslow girls.
The lineup of the Winslow team
was:

REORGANIZATION
(by GRADY GAMMAGE)

The population of Winslow, accord
ing to the 1920 census, is 1880. We
have approximately 500 foreign born
whites. The remainder of our foreign
population is composed chiefly of
Chinese and japanese.
No extensive Americanization pro-
gram has been carried out in Win
slow yet we feel that a few things
worthy of mention have been done.
The essence of AmericaniZation is
participation in the affairs of the COM
munity and, of course, the first step
in this direction is learning the En-
glish language. Nevertheless, any

thlng that tends to bring the alien to
q better understanding and apprecia-
tlon or the people and the community
III which he lives may properly be
called Americanization. We have
two schools here devoted to the edu-
cation of Mexican children These
schools are important connecting
links between the Mexican homes and
the community. In one of these
schools Joe Vargas, a young man of
Mexican extraction, was employed as
one OF the teachers. He did consider
able work among the older Mexican
people as we'll as the children. He
conducted night class for adults
ana organized Parent-Teachers'
association among Mexican parents.
He supervised the play activities
among the children and enforced the
use OF the English language Besides
these activities he raised considerable
money among the Mexican people to
pay for furnishing all the children
with hot lunches. When the hot
lunch feature was started the children
averaged "a per cent underweight.
AT the end OF three months time this
was reduced to an average of 10 per
cent

from the 1920 census reports to show
the character of our population and
to show our illiteracy, as this is one
phase of the Americanization pro-
bIem.

In the United States as a whole
per cent of the people are illiterate.
About 62 per cent of these are native
born and over 25 per cent are native
white Of native parentage. 1t is plain
that Americanization applies to these
people although they are of pure
American stock. But our American
ization problem in Arizona and Ma
vajo County is of a different nature,
BY reference to the above table it will
be seen that 3S.6 per cent Of the peo-
pie in Navajo County are illiterate.
This seems very large but it should
be remembered that it includes In
dians.
The United States census classes
all persons as literate who say they
are able to read and write in any
language.
It seems to me that along with the
idea of Americanizing the foreigner
we should leave no stone unturned
in order To bring every public school
in America TO a full grasp Of the in
finite possibilities in the training of
all the rising generation in citizen
ship History and civics, for instance
which have too often been mere
hum-drum recital of facts should be
made a living, breathing reality. The
dead framework should be clothed
with flesh and blood and made to live
before the student.
In ancient Athens the fathers taught
their boys a pledge which when the
BOYS were about eighteen years of
age, they publicly recite:
I'VE will never bring disgrace
to this city by any act OF disho-
nesty or cowardice nor ever de-
sert our suffering comrades in
the ranks.
I'VE will fight for the ideals
and sacred things of the city,
both singly and together. We
will revere and obey the citys
laws, and do our best to incite
like respect and reverence in
those above us who are prone to
annual or set them at naught
I'VE will strive increasingly to
quicken the public sense of civic
duty Thus in all these ways we
will transmit this city not only
not less, but greater, better and
more beautiful than it was tran
smitted to u.s."
Let us do all in our power to bring
the stranger within our gates to an
understanding of our language, and
to an appreciation of our history, our
ideals, our customs, and our institu-
tions, But let us also, at the same
time pledge ourselves to keep alive
the ideals of honor, justice, truth,
right, and self sacrifice as it was in
the days of Athens, the city State.

There are some fundamentals in

suited in decreasing the fertility of
the soil. The banker who drives into
the country and observes this process
OF mining the fertility from the land
should feel that to that extent the
resources Of his bank are being
sapped.
Yet some of our bankers are con-
to loan money to the one-crop

situation was exactly right for de-

The lesson OF 1920 has not been lost.
According to all reports, retail mer-
chants have been buying cautiously

reasonably expect to turn over without

IN bad position. other farmers are
prosperous. The agricultural loans
