Much interest is being taken by the
alumni in the proposed legislation to
change the normal schools to teachers
colleges offering four-year courses
with power to grant degrees. The
arrangement of the presidents of the
university and the normal schools on
this question marks new educational
movement in Arizona.
John @. Thomas, superintendent of
the schools of Flagstaff, gave a short
speech to the students of Normal last
Friday in assembly. His subject dealt
with the training of teachers and he
treated it first by pointing out the
functions of the normal school, then
the functions Of the teacher, the pro-
fessional training need, and last, the
personality Of the teacher. This was
the second speech by Flagstaff busi-
ness men, the previous speaker being
]. p. Wilson, vice president of the
Arizona Central bank, who gave
talk on Thrift" The program for
today's assembly will be brief talk
by Del Strong, city editor of the Co
conino Sun. Next week Prof. Chester
Deaver of the Normal science depart
ment will address the students. Other
prominent business men of Flagstaff
and northern Arizona will address the
student body in the next few weeks.
President F. A. Cotton spent Mon
day in Phoenix, attending a meeting
of the state board of education.
Mrs. R. G. Stevenson, who went to
Phoenix last week for an operation
for appendicitis, is improving rapidly
after a successful operation and will
return home to Flagstaff as soon as
possible, possibly the end of this or
the first of next week.
The senior class gave the program
for the Wednesday assembly. A short
one-act play was staged with music
and dancing. Miss Annavard Pen
nington, the new senior representative
to the student council, has taken great
interest in her work since being chosen
for this position couple of weeks ago
and was instrumental in making the
Wednesday assembly a success. The
program of week ago was musical
in nature. Owen Porter, accompanied
by Virginia Flickenger rendered two

Kingman Here

The Kingman boys come here Satur-
LAY night for a game on the local high
school court. From what can be
earned, they are a fast playing team,
having defeated the strong Needles
five. The Flagstaff team is fast
rounding into smooth-playing five,
determined to lose the jinx that has
Deen with it so far this year. AS the
girls are idle this week there will be
but the one game, the admission be-
ing 25c.

neither this nor any other money from
private subscription will be accepted.
While it is unlikely that all of the
Improvement work needed will be done
this year, very likely some, perhaps
most of it will be.
The members of the board all ex-
pressed their appreciation at having
the taxpayers present.

dicapped by the strain of their trip.
On Saturday, February ID, the two
teams from Holbrook will meet the
Normal teams.
Th, Dramatic club is working on a
couple Of comic dramas to be pre-
sented soon. Ernest Hartz, Cleona

Bates Gibbons of st. Johns, who has
been attending the U. of A. for the
past semester, enrolled in Normal on
Tuesday.
The coming of warm days brought
forth tennis racquets and now every
court is filled practically during the
entire day. Some have already taken
the hiking craze, also, and as soon as
the snow disappears enough to permit
one to roam the hills again there will
be many of our gay young couples
spending their Saturday and Sunday
afternoons strolling meath the pines.
The : Pine, Normal's monthly publi-
cation, made its appearance Tuesday,

If anyone is wondering about the
loud and incongruous wearing apparel
seen upon the persons of some Of the
illustrious seniors it may not be amiss
to mention that the red socks, pink
neckties and placards represent, in
part, the interest shown by the SEN
iors in their big carnival and dance
to be given February 21.
Mr.. Helms class in public speaking
is making some progress in the art
of expressing themselves before an
audience. A new plan will be follow
ed out beginning next week, whereby
each will have a turn at being chair
man of the day and will introduce
each member of the class for his
speech.
Plans are being worked out for the
arrangement of schedules, programs
ct cetera, for the coming summer
school, which will begin June Is.
Prospects point toward The largest at
tendance in the history of summer
sessions at Flagstaff, and if the in
crease is relative to that of the three
winter terms, there will hardly be
lodging facilities in Flagstaff to take
care of so many people. Some new
cottages are being erected at the city
park and will provide lodging for a
number. The ideal climate of Flag
staff and the fine courses offered by
Normal will bring people from all
parts of the nation to spend summer
vacations.
The Lumberjacks and Lumberj;lls

FRENCH AV|ATORS TALK OF FLIGHT
Transatlantic Trip Is Being
 Discussed

Paris, June 10. Pl-"Our chances of success are five in 100, and that is sufficient" said Paul Tarascon, war-maimed aviator, when ques- toned about the proposed Paris New York nonstop flight which he and another war ace, Francis Coll will attempt this summer.
 "The big jump can be made. Given a smooth working motor and sound navigating plane with a lifting capacity sufficient to take off with enough fuel to stay in the air 30 hours, the Raris-New York flight is no more difficult than several feats performed in recent years, Coli opined He referred to the American transcontinental nonstop flight, nearly 2,600 miles, made by American aviators in 1923, as just as hazardous as the proposed ocean flight. Expert mechanics are now busy tuning up the motor while plane builders are putting the fin- ishing touches to the machine. The latter part of July has been tlxed as the probable time.
 Five thousand litres of fuel and oil which the plane must carry at the start present a problem. How to store this liquid without interfer- ing with the stability of the plane is causing the experts much trouble.
 England, Ireland, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia is the proposed itinerary.
