religions of Egypt and the east. The
great Importance of the discovering OF
the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen by the
late Lord Carnavon lies in the fact
that it is the first tomb of a Pharoah
that has ever been found intact, with
the body Of the deceased ruler with
all his surroundings, as he was buried
in $50 B. c., or 3,273 years ago. The
light shed by this unprecedented dis
covery on the history of the past is of
inestimabIe value and Mr.. Maitri's au-
thoritative lecture on the subject
should pack Flagstaff Normal's audi
torium to capacity.
DIR. Frederick Monsen, +. r. q. s.,
artist, explorer, who will lecture here
on August 13 and 16, is one of those
born takers who cannot help being
interesting. His background Of travel
and exploration is rivaled by few men
on the lecture platform today. Mr.
Monsen presents Mexico, the West In
dies and our own wonderful south
west as an artist and nature lover. he
makes his audience see and feel what
sort Of people live in those countries
what is most worrying them, what is
most helping them, how and why
Americans should be intensely inter-
ested in them. He lectures from first
hand material and his screen pictures
are true to life.
Miss Bess ]. Barl1ley, contralto, of
Phoenix, will devote the evening OF
Wednesday, August Is to song. Miss
Barkley has voice of great strength,
possessed with warmth and color.
This, with fine enunciation and de-
lightful personality makes her sing
ing real pleasure. Ida Mae jean
con will be her accompanist and will
also give couple of piano numbers.
The recital by Mrs. Leoti F. Crea-
ger. dramatic reader, given last We'd
nesday evening, proved to be unusual
delightful. She is gifted beyond most
artists in her power Of painting THE
Cricket on the Hearth in words as
realistic as any could be on canvas.
Throughout the recital Mrs. Creager
held the interest and attention of her
audience. The only criticism we have
heard expressed was that 1t was too
short.

the mainstays on the Leland Stanford

Judson of JhoeniX. Judson, who is
now tennis instructor at the Normal
has recently played some speedy ex-
hibition games with McMullen, whom
he considers as being classed with the
best in The state. Broadbent of Clark

lot.

"All work and no play makes pro
/ fessors take lopsided view of test
papers on Monday mornings" says L
I B. McMullen, president of the Nor.
NAL, who is a conscientious believer In
complete mental relaxation for his
| teachers over the week-ends. Teach
ing school from October to September
covers long period and it is always
the writer's delight to hear of GROUP
of professors going on fishing OF
hiking trip. Among the contingent o1
Sir Isaac Walton's faithful anglers
who spent the weekend at Oak Greek
were Professors Geo. A. Judson, J. O
Creager, D. D. Wood, H. A. Hubbard
