Building for Sheen

Barns and sheds used during the
Landing season need not be very elab-
crate affairs nor is il necessary to
provide much extra equipment. There
are, however, several precautions
which, if observed, will not only in
crease the comfort of both ewes and
lambs but will also assist in raising
a larger number of lambs. While
sheep can withstand cold weather and
need ventilation if confined in barns
and sheds, drafts should be carefully
avoided

Starting Sheep Flock

In starting a flock which is to be
retained, ewes from one to four years
of age should be purchased. Where a
farmer desires a flock for only one
reason, to consume his roughages and
utilize a temporary pasture, full
mouthed western ewes can often be
purchased on the markets at very
reasonable prices. These ewes will
produce one or two crops of lambs
and should be fattened and sold along
with their lambs. Proper care will
bring them to market at profit.

mammoth porkers being more plenti-
full than has been the case for sever
al years. One farmer, according to
reports, raised a porker which tipped
the scales at 500 pounds while others
have not killed, but it is said that
several have hogs that may equal this
record. The champion in this line of
pork production will be announced in
these columns as soon as reliable data
can be secured.
Two business men of Philadelphia,

to start a manufacturing business.
One Of them wanted to get a place to
make shirts, while his companion
sought a building for the manufactur-
ing of overalls. They desired build
ing adapted to the convenience of
combining both enterprises under one
roof if possible, and had planned to
secure one of this convenience by in
specting the idle buildings in the var
iOus towns on the peninsula before
the holiday season if possible. The

changing ideals and there is little as
surance that their own plannings of
today will meet their needs of tomor-
row. Maturer natures must extend a
directing hand.
"In our country the individual is
largely ranked by his degree of lead
ership. We occupy positions at var
ious steps of the ladder from the top
rung to the lowest. A good educa-
tion is today essential to a command
ing place. 1t is because of this fact
the Better Schools league enjoins par
ents to make every reasonable sacri-
flee to see that their children get the
proper training; that they go through
the secondary schools by all means
and to college or university if the in
terests and capabilities of the child
warrant We do not raise the ques-
ton of financial interference for every
graduating class of college and uni
versity is enriched by young men and
women who have been self-supporting
during their collegiate training.
The Coconino sun., 1925-08-21

"A college or university course is
not universally essential. Much time
and money may be wasted in an at
tempt to inject higher education into
individuals whose capacities and in
clinations forbid it.
However, parents owe it to their
children to equip them with the foun-
dation for a fruitful career. Youth
should not be allowed to pull into
blind alleys; to put itself into unfa-
vorable position for making the most
of life. A skimped education is
handicap-it may be a sentence of
failure The training of mind and
body that our educational institutions
give insures the boy and girl fair
start and inlparts an incentive that
stirs ambition and builds self-assur-
ance. This confidence in itself fre-
quently determines success.
"A good education is an asset--a
lack of it is a matter of regret.
"When vacations are ended let
"Back-to-school" be your slogan"
The Coconino sun., 1925-08-21

Supt. John @. Thomas will be clad to
mail them to any interested person
on request.
The school and community should
cooperate more fully in the matter of
Thomas believes, especially in the
matter of high school attendance.
Grammar school attendance is largely
cared for through the compulsory
school law; but boys and girls of IS
years and over are left, quite largely,
to their own discretion as to whether
they will continue their education in
the high school,
Many communities have organized
'back-to-school" campaigns, making
as their slogan every boy and girl
must have a high school education"
Such is the work of the Better
Schools League, Inc, of Chicago, as
indicated by the following quoted from
its bulletin:
"This is the season Of vacations but
soon it will end and the question will
arise in many family councils as to
whether son or daughter is to con-
tinue in school or return to other
labors. We use the expression 'other
labors' feeling there is a sound rea-
son for the belief that every child of
high school age should have some
manual task to perform side by side
with the educational duties, not only
to reveal the propensities of the in
dividual but to create wholesome
respect for manual labor by Young
America.
Parents at times err in letting age
be the determining factor as to when
a school career should terminate. Our
compulsory attendance laws cannot be
prophetic and have no magic power;
the degree of training necessary to
meet the probable future aims and
interests of the individual child should
form the basis for the decision.
"Adolescents are often tempted by
the romance of the world of business
or by the desire to acquire more
spending money to abandon the COM
pletion of their education. They lack
the foresight to see that a premature
entrance into the highly competitive
fields of commerce can do them no
good. They are in a period of rapidly

gates, expressing their displeas-
ure at what they termed an
executive ultimatum that would
throttle the work of the con-
ferees," withdrew from the con-
ference table. A majority of the
eight delegates from the two
bordering states returned to
their homes Monday evening.
Immediate cause of the break was
the refusal of the Arizona delegation
to agree to a proviso for the immed-
late construction of the Boulder cam
yon dam. The refusal was based on
the committees belief that it was en-
titled to know the type of dam to be
erected, and the disposition of any
benefits accruing therefrom.
The visiting members of the con-
ference from California and Nevada
took Governor Hunts address as an
ultimatum and the break came within
a short time. California and Nevada
were working close together.
The possibility of conference be-
tween the legislative committee and
the California and Nevada conference
committees has been discussed but no
definite action was taken.

COLLEGE FACULTY DINED
SENIORS WEDNESDAY EVE

The faculty dinner for the Flag
staff Teachers college summer grad
uating class was given Wednesday
evening at the Woman's club building.
Miss Mary G. Boyer very appropriate
ly filled the chair as toastmistress,
introducing the numbers on the pro-
gram with we'll told stories. After
welcoming the guests of the evening,
she introduced a member of the col
lege faculty who "does everything
beautifully" Miss Mildred Whetsel
was received with much applause and
gave two piano selections.
Mr. and Mrs. Grady Gammage were
in turn introduced, as they are to be
permanently located here. Mr.. Gam
mage was recently appointed vice
president of the college. f. c. Osborn,
advisor of the senior class was called
upon to do his stuff and in order to
save the seniors any embarrassment
presented each with a fake diploma
with appropriate verse typed there
on. One which drew good share of
applause was the following, written
for a popular member Of the class:
''Now here's a young man from the
Buckeye state, who in the summer to
the Meadows does take; who is he?
Just Jake"
Each Of the seniors in turn advanc-
ed and took his applause. The class
sang Seniors viii Shine Tonight" !"
Miss Whetsel again took the floor
and called upon Messrs Stevenson,
Coate, Kellam, Bracker, Carlson,
Lockwood, Thomas, Powers, Gold and
Judson to render a male chorus, after
which a request for solo from Mr..
Judson was made Mr.. JudSon kindly
but firmly refused with the excuse
that he had already won his dessert.
Members of the summer school fac
ulty who came only for the one quar-
ter were introduced by the toastmis-
tress. A number of the present fac
ulty members are leaving the college
and were asked to say few words of
farewell. Miss Lamb will go to Can
yon, Texas, on leave, for the coming
year while Miss Pragst will take a po-
sition in a Normal school in eastern
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Stevenson will
move to Williams as superintendent of
the city schools. He expressed his
pleasure at being so near Flagstaff
and WILDE happy to make frequent
visits here. There were speeches from
DIR. E. Victor Smith of the University
of Washington, and Dr.. Lockwood of
the University Of Arizona. DR.. Lock
wood, being a staunch Arizona boost
er, gave a greeting and message
from the land of the palm tree. Pro-
fessor FELTON, of Tempe Teachers col
lege followed with message from the
cactus country. In closing he recited
a snappy, modern poem on Modern
Love" A number of original songs
by the graduating class concluded the
program. The remainder of the eve
ming was spent in visiting and dane
