PIT. A. To Celebrate
Founders Day, Feb. IL

On February II, 1897, the scattered
forces of parenthood were first drawn
together, organized and classified.
To the vision of Mrs Theodore
Birney we owe our existence today
as a great force, 100000 strong, stand
ing for better children by means of
better parents, and better teachers.
The whole parent-teacher movement
grew from an experience that one of
Philadelphia's veteran teachers had in
the expression of appreciation of her
work from a mother who visited her
classroom and told her what it had
meant to her and to her boy. The
teacher had been doing her best for
the boy, but not knowing his home
and parents, she had been working
partly in the dark. Her attitude to-
ward him was so changed by this ex-
perience that she called meeting of
all the mothers of her pupils at regu-
lar intervals from that time forward
and her example was followed by
many progressive teachers. The idea
finally crystallized in the parent
teacher association, which enlists the
cooperation of both fathers and moth
ers.
The two local organization will
celebrate founders Day." February
IT, at the auditorium, at 1880 o'clock.
An interesting program is being pre-
pared and all those having children
in school are especially urged to at
tend.

Hunting Party Bags
Extra Large Wild Cat

Mr.. and Mrs. G. j. Trimble, Mr.. and
Mrs L. J. Bennett, Rev. and Mrs. w.
L. Martin. all of Winslow, and Mr.. and
Mrs. A. H. Morgan and daughter,
Maxine, of Conneaut, Ohio, formed a
hunting party which spent the day,
Monday, some twenty miles west of
town on the Chavis Pass road. The
day was an ideal one for hunting and
the male members of the party had
good success in finding the bunnies,
bringing in all told % of them. But
it remained for Mrs. Bennett to cap
the climax and carry off the honors
of a perfect hunting day by killing
a twenty-five pound wild cat, with her
little 410 shot gun. She was not
hunting wild cats at all but while try
ing to slip up on some unsuspecting
little bunnie, Mr.. Bobcat loomed up
against the trunk of big cedar tree
and looked at her in a questioning
sort of way and didn't seem to know
whether to run or jump at her. But
before the cat could decide just what
to do, Mrs. Bennett let him have a
load of shot which brought him to the
decision to run, but another shot so
wounded him that he could go only
a little way where he laid down and
died. Mr.. Bennett was near at hand
and carried the bobcat, a species
known as the lynx, to camp where
pictures were taken of him and his
slayer, together with Mr. Bennett ana
Miss Morgan. His skin has been sent
to Denver to be mounted and will be
kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett as a
souvenir of the day.

chases for greater amounts will be

actions of the city and will avoid
serious delay when minor repairs or
supplies are needed.

passed resolution endorsing the new
zoning law new before the leg
islature and memoralized that body,
urging its passage.

Arizona's boyhood, her manhood of

cutive of the Boy Scouts Of America,
and to discuss plans for the greatest
interest of the Boy Scout movement in

fight against adversity-fghting his
way up from an orphanage to the high
position that he holds today, in a
recent interview said:
Our boys-and our girls are always
included-are the greatest asset in
this nation today. What are mines

without them? Absolutely worthless

good living men and women.

and girls-the citizens and workers
of tomorrow-upon whom we must

TEACHERS COLLEGE
SUBJECT NORMAL
ASSEMBLY FRIDAY

Changing the name of Northern
Arizona Normal School, to North
ern Arizona Teachers College" was
the theme of a talk to the student
body at the Friday assembly by DR..
F. A. Cotton, acting president. A
measure providing for this change in
name will be acted upon by the leg
islative body now in session, and DR..
Cotton gave the following history and
summary of the movement:
At a recent conference of the presi-
dents of the university and the two
normal schools, a mutual agreement
was reached whereby both normal
schools should be placed on exactly
the same basis nregard to establish
ing teachers colleges in this state.
1t was also agreed that the names
of both schools should be changed to
Teachers Colleges during the present
session of the legislature, with au-
thority to issue the degree of bachelor
of education to students who finish q
four year course.
The Flagstaff school has more than
one thousand graduates who are
teaching throughout the nation. Let
ters from Alumni have been received
by the institution since it was first
intimated that the school might issue
the professional degree, many of the
writer's saying they contemplated re-
turning here to obtain such degree
if the legislature grants the school
the authority to issue it..
Great interest in the Teacher Col
lege movement is being manifested
~ Of 10
state. This is due in great measure
to the fact that the north is in need
of a standard school. The southern
part of the state has three institu-
tions of higher learning-the Normal
School at Tempe, the Junior College at
Phoenix, and the University at Tue
son.
Arizona is one of only eleven re-
naming states which have no Teach
ers Colleges located within their
bounds, and it is necessary for gradu-
ates of the Arizona Normal Schools
to take an additional years work in
some California institution before be-
ing allowed to teach there. The re-
quirements in the teaching profession
are being raised each year and if Ari-
zona is to supply her share of trained
teachers, she, herself, must train them.
Legislative action at this time would
result in no more cost to the state
during the next biennium-perhaps no
more for the Northern Arizona Normal
School for several years.; but such
action by the legislative body will en-
able the Flagstaff School. to proceed
with the new program when the en-
rollment and other conditions in
northern Arizona justify it.
1t is the intention to treat the two
Normal Schools exactly alike with res
spect to changing namesand giving
authority to issue professional de-
grees, DR.. Cotton emphasized

BERESFORD AND HOOVER
 UNCERTAIN OF MEETING
Meeting Between Two Oarsmen In. productive of Definite Date
 for the Contest

Henley-on-Thames, England July 9. Pl- A race between Jack Beres- ford, winner of the diamond souls, and Walter Hoover of Philadelphia, for the Philadelphia gold challenge cup which Beresford won at the Paris Olympics last year Is still un- certain.
 The meeting between the two oarsmen late last night, at which She whole question was discussed thoroughly, is considered to have been unproductive of a definite date for the contest,
 Hoover received a cable message from the cup committee yesterday asking him to remain in England, as it was thought Beresford would re- consider his refusal 10 race, mean while the trophy is resting in the Thames Rowing club.
 A London dispatch last night said Bcresford had reconsidered his de- cision to tuCn the Philadelphia cup back to the United States without defending it, after an appeal to his British sportmanship" by the cup committee.
 Beresford, the dispatch added, would enter the race with the under standing that he would return the cup to the United States whether victorious or not, as he held with the British rowing authorities that the diamond souls and not the PhiladeI- phia cup represented the world championship.
