that Dr. r. H, H. sBlome died at his

Dr.. Blome was born in Hanover.

| to America and soon after took a
| course in the Illinois State Normal
School, later going to the University
OF Jena in Germany, where he re-
ceived the degree of doctor of pholo-

and for nine years taught at Tempe
Normal School. In 1909 he moved
to Flagstaff and became President
OF the Northern Arizona Normal
School where he remained until the
summer of 1913.
DR.. Blome was a great success in
his school work. Arizona has never
had better Normal School Presi-
dent During his incumbency the
school laid the foundation for it's
present flourishing growth and the
State of Arizona is greatly indebted
TO hlm for the nine best years of his
life which he gave to our institu-
tion.
From Flagstaff he went to Bisbee
where he was Superintendent of
City Schools. The next year he was
appointed State Director of Indus
trial Education, which position he
held for one year. He then retired
from active work and moved to Pa
sadena where he was living at the

Dean j. O. Creager, former pres
ident of the Normal School and now
Dean of the College of Education at
the University of Arizona, paid us
visit on Monday. He gave a very
interesting talk in assembly in which
he said many nice things about us,
commenting especially upon the pro-
gress of the school. After assembly
the faculty entertained Dean Crea-
ger at luncheon. The immediate
purpose of his long postponed visit
was a discussion of plans for sum-
mer chOol, which will open for both
institutions on June 18th, at Flag
staff.
The Training School made great
leap in the ladder of success" to-
ward getting better acquainted with
the parents of the Mexican children,
last Friday night, when the school
gave the parents a party. The en-
tire program was carried out in
Spanish.
When the guests assembled at Z p.
m, Mr.. Schultz gave them welcome
address Miss Lawler explained the
night school which opened this week
for the benefit of Mexicans who have
not had the advantage of earlier
school opportunities and for those
who wish to continue school along
with other occupations. The school
will be held Monday and Tuesday
evening of every week.
Miss Wheeler took charge of or
ganizing the Mexican parents and
teachers club. This club will meet
once a month, and is to continue the
better acquaintance and cooperation
of the parents and teachers. Mr.
Baca, who is well represented in the
school by seven children, was elect
ed president.
Games were played for the social
part of the evening. The practice
teachers took charge of the children
to see that they had their share Of
the good time. Refreshments were
served at nine, and the guests after
wards showed their appreciation by
returning to the assembly room for
more games. The fact that they
did not consider leaving until con-
siderably after eleven proclaimed
the success of the party.
Training for baseball and track is
in full swing, and we are planning
to surpass all previous records when
both teams turn out to show their
worth this year. From our baseball
