ANOTHER HAMLET EXPERIMENT

When London producer last year brought out
Hamlet" in modern dress, critics the world around
seemed to think it about the last word in daring nnova
tions. But there probably shocks still to come
for the theater public.
A Cleveland producer plans to present Hamlet
with company no actor in which has ever played
Shakespeare before" This is to get away from the
"hoary and traditional gestures and flapdoodle
tomarily found in Shakespearean productions.
Hamlet himself is be played, according to present
announcements by Glenn Hunter, of Young Wood
ley" and Merton Of the Movies' fame, youngster
still well under 80 years Of age The queen is be
both young and beautiful. Poonius, who the ad-
ninstrative head of government, will be presented,
will be presented not witess octogenaran, but
a competent man nearer 40 than 80-that in spite of
Hamlet's disrespectful comments the gentleman
as tedious old fool.'
Well, it's TO be grand experiment. 1t can't do
Shakespeare or Hamlet either, any harm and it may
do something really fine for the drama in question for
Shakespeare presentations in general and for the stage

Dairy Production
Showing Increase

The 1920 census showed an av.
erage annual production by Califor
MIA cows of 1872 pounds of butterfat.
On the basis of these figures the ag-
ricultural extension service of the
University of California adoptd a
dairy improvement program tc
achieve a goal of 265 pounds of but
terfat per COW in 1920. Half of this
time being lapsed and figures of the
state department of agriculture indi-
cate an average production of 220
pounds of buttcrfat per cow in 1925.
This added average production per
cow over the 1920 average of 1872
pounds totaled 22,9l0,000 pounds of
buttcrfat for 1925, which at the av-
eragc of 1928 prices means an added
income to the dairymcn of the state
of more than fourteen million dollars.

PRACTICAL FARM AID

Congress will be asked soon to appropriate S1OO00
600 for national fight against the European corn
farm relief in which congress should take serious
interest.
The pest is slowly spreading west and south 1t
infests already several states and many million
of land If not stopped, it will inevitably sweeps over
the whole country and ruin the greatest of American
farm crops.
Ten million dollars is not much for such contest
It would serve however, to pay for what is needed
adequate governmental direction of the war against
the corn borer with publicity and advice regarding the
best methods and materials to use. The bulk OF the
work must naturally be done by the local authorities of
the various states and communities affected, and by
the individual farmers.

ROOk,S FOR THE WORLD

Bernard Shaw returning to the Swedish minister at
London the money given him winner of the Nobel
prize for literature, writes:
Sweden invites the buy her paper, but there Is
nothing printed on it. The function of Swedish paper
it seems is to wrap Australian apples in. And yet
Swedens most valuable export is her literature, OF
which we in Britain are deplorably ignorant
He therefore asks that his $4,000 be used in furth
erng intellectual intercourse between the two coun-
tries particularly the printing of important Swedish
works not yet translated into English.
It would be good thing if American philanthropists
were more inclined to encourage that sort Of thing.
We have plenty of rich interested in old and rare
books however ntrinsically worthless they may be,
and willing to pay high prices for them. How many
have we who will give money to make available new
books of real value and give the best thinking and writ
ing international currency?

You just watch me- cried I'm,
Gle Wiggily, and he began to paw
with his feet. as did the wild rabbit
until, in a short time, they had fwo
deep holes going down into the
ground where it was moist from the
water of the pond. Uncle Wiggily
might have gone in the pond, with
only his nose sticking out and let
the fire roll across. but the water
was too cold. So he stayed until
the brush fire had burned itself out.
Then over the blackened ground still
warm. Uncle Wiggily hoped safely

MONEY FOR INSTRUCTION

startling innovation in college fund campaigns New

the usual aurements offered by institutions Of
higher learning in asking people to donate money to

The quality of instruction in Yale and elsewhere
probably needs and deserves more attention and
money spent it, AS colleges and universities have
felt the lnrush OF Increasing numbers Of students
classes have grown large. Personal contact between
pupils and teachers has almost vanished. Youthful
instructors with little experience, fresh from their
college days have stepped into collegiate teaching
positions
More teachers. better equipped teachers, teachers
with a special gift for research and others with spe
cial gift for developing and inspiring their young
pupils. needed the faculties Of colleges and
universities. That one Of the Older and larger
universities should recognize and act upon this need
frankly is a hopeful educational sign.

ADDITIONAL COLLEGE

DR.. Louis NJ. Terman, professor of
psychology at the Leland Stanford
university spoke to the students and
friends of the Teachers college six
times this week, his messages being
of a continued character. Starting
with the statement that the greatest
thing man possesses is mind and that
next to character the greatest thing
in mind is intellect, DR.. Terman took
the intellectS of the greatest men the
world has produced and showed how
these intellects. were developed. In
two of his talks he brought forth in
disputable evidence to show that
there were no great men in the intel
lectual world who were dull children,
but that all were exceedingly bright
as children. He brought out the fact
that brightness need not be reflected
in the school grades entirely but in
achievements in other fields as well.
If it is fact that genius has these
unmistakable traits of intelligence
from earliest youth, it seems to Dir.
Terman that some organized, con-
.certed effort should be made to give
them every opportunity for the best
training so that society may profit
from them and their genius not be
lost to the world.
The greatest obstacle to the scien-
tific discovery of these bright chill
dren is the prevalent belief that ge-
MUS will out anyhow, so why bother
to hunt it? 1t was only by lucky
chance that many of the worlds
greatest men received an opportunity
for the training that later made them
leaders in their field, and to some of
these the opportunity came so late
in life that their work was cut short
by death and the best fruits of their
labor lost to the world 1t is to in
sure that the world and particularly

death, there was no graveside cere-
mony.
Mrs. Schuele died last Saturday
morning at 2:30 at the home of a
daughter, Mrs. c. E. Miller, in Pine.
She bad been i'll for years and last
spring became very low Several
weeks ago she was taken to Pine in
the hope that the cool mountain wea-
ther would prove Of benefit, but she
sank steadily. Early last week Mr..
Schuele was summoned to her bed
side.
AS a small girl, Mrs. Schuele came
to Arizona from Utah over 40 years
ago. She was SO years old at the
time of her death.
Although long an invalid, Mrs
Schuele was an earnest and active
church worker and was beloved by
all who knew her. The tender care
that she received at the hands of her
husband was matter of general re-
mark among their neighbors and it
is declared that this greatly prolong-
ed her life
Besides her husband, Mrs. Schuele
is survived by two daughters and
two sons. The daughters are Mrs. G.

bitt, Of Flagstaff; while the sons are
W. H. Passey, of Mesa, and Alvan
Schuele of Chandler.
