states who wish to teach here.
"The greater per cent of the teach
ers who come here from other states
have no vital interest in the COM
munity in which they are teaching.
They are here for comparatively
short time, many of them for year
or two only. They pay no taxes.
Their classroom work and outside ac-
tivities are not vibrant to the life of
the community They are here mere
ly to see the country They are only
squatters-just nesters, in the mar
row sense" DR.. Cotton continued.
Competition of this kind is detri-
mental to the state and unfair to the
young people in training in our state
schools for the teaching profession.
1t is something deeper than it ap-
pears to be on the surface. 1t is a
condition that is here and must be
met. The woman's clubs, Rotary, XII
wants, Lions and Hiram clubs over
the state should take a hand in the
matter and have an open discussion.
Parent-Teachers associations can be
of great help. Arizona Industrial
Congress should make an investiga-
tion Of these conditions. Every news
paper in the state should give a lend-
ing hand" said Dr. Cotton.
"We are ever attempting to sell
and purchase products. Campaigns
are put on through the newspapers
of the state to encourage people to
use Arizona products. The graduates
of our state schools are products of
Arizona and should be considered in
this light by the different school
boards and superintendents of Ari-
zona. The graduates Of our schools
should be given preference" he de-
clared.
ut is true" DR.. Cotton further
pointed out, "that school superintend
ents and boards of education receive
daily many applications from teach
ers outside of the state who wish to
teach in Arizona. These people usu-
ally are experienced teachers and are
attracted here bv the healthful cli-
mate and high salaries paid to begin
ming teachers.
"Our state educational Institutions
will suffer if we continue importing
~ percent of our teaching force an
nually. The University of Arizona
graduated this June over 240 seniors.
Tempe graduated $50, and Flagstaff
had more than 125 graduates during
the year just closed. 1t is feared
that only about % percent of these
graduates will receive positions in
the schools Of Arizona this year, if
drastic action is not taken immedi-
ately.
1.-THE situation calls for speedy ac-
tion. The state legislature should be
appealed to at its next session. We
must awaken the people of Arizona
to the fact that Arizona's product
it's best--is not being sold," said DR.,

CRANDLODCE
|. 90. AND
REBEKAH WAS
ABIG SUCCESS

One of the best attended and most
successful annual conventions of the
state grand lodges of the Odd Fell
lows and the Rebekahs ever held in
Arizona was in session here the first
three days of this wek. There were
176 delegates in attendance as well as
the officers of the grand lodges and
many others who were neither. In
all there were at least 400 here for
the sessions.
All who attended were highly
pleased with the manner in which the
local lodges handled the arrange
ments for their convenience and en-
tertainment. All were housed, many
in private homes. The entertainment
features were delightful. The dele
gates formally expressed their thanks
to the local committee on arrange
ments and also to the townspeople
for the cooperation given the local
committee.
A noteworthy feature was that all
the expense was covered ahead of
time with funds raised at various
social functions given during the last
few months by the local committee.
No donations were asked from the
local business men.
The convention formally opened
Monday morning. |. B. Koch, the
new mayor Of Flagstaff, cordially
welcomed the delegates and visitors
at the courthouse, assuring them
that Flagstaff people were glad in
deed to have them come and cordially
hopeful that every moment of their
stay here would be pleasant The re-
Spouse was by Grand Master Fred c.
Moore Of the Odd Fellows.
Then followed, during the three
days business sessions of the Odd
Fellows at Elks hall, the Rebekahs at
Masonic hall, the Grand Encampment
at Elks hall, the Department Council
at Odd Fellows hall.
Degree work by both the Odd Fell
lows and Rebekahs was put on Mon
day night. Tuesday night there was
a grand ball at Elks hall, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves immense
ly. Tuesday afternoon the visitors
were taken on scenic trips. Wednes-
day afternoon they were taken on an
trip through the Arizona
& Timber Co.'s big sawmill.
night there was theatre
party at the Orpheum.
Yesterday morning early, accom-
panied by many local Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs, everyone went to
Grand Canyon for the day.
The weather was perfect. Not un-
so for Flagstaff, but the
clear, bracing, comfortable atmos-
phere up here made a sure-enough
hit with those who came from other
parts of the state, where, at this
season, the weather can't touch ours.
Following are the officers elected
for the ensuing year:

ours could give when he was war
whooping.
Or, maybe he's another kind Of a
doctor, and wanted to see how long
one Of 'em would have whooping
cough.
Seriously, however, these ruins,
and their restoration means great
deal to Flagstaff Their easy acces-
sibility, within hundred yards of
one of our main travelled highways,
means many more tourists. Even
old-timers here, who thought they
were fed up on ruins, have been
flocking out there all times of day
since The Sun came out last week,
watching the men working, following
with curious eyes the outlines of the
transformation as far as uncovered,
peering at the skeletons and, perhaps,
occasionally getting in the way Of
the workers. If our people get en-
thusiastic over this, what will the
men and women back east do but
speed this way in ever-increasIng
numbers as fast as they learn what
there is for them here in these anti
quities that so far antedate old Chip
pendale chairs and other forms of an
tiques as to make them look distress
singly juvenile.
One of the Indians was shown to
have died a violent death, probably
in war His skull had been pierced
by an Indian arrowhead.
Dr.. Fewkes believes these Indians
were crowded out of their home here
by Navajos and Apaches. Otherwise,
as he will readily admit, they had
no earthly excuse for leaving Flag
staff, which no one ever did or ever
will leave except under stringent cir
cunstances.
The theory that some have, that
the Indians were driven out by the
volcanic disturbances that once upon
a time tipped things all galley-end-
west here and spilled red-hot ashes
and hotter lava all around, seems to
have no foundation. For the Indians
who built the Elden House ruins used
lava along with other stones in build
ing their pueblo homes.

Revival of the pony express which
has played such an important part, m
the history of Americas transporta-
ton system, and which has been re-
placed by the more modern means of
aircraft, will be feature in the
"Days of '49'' celebration to be held
in Flagstaff July 2, 8, 4, 5, under the
auspices of the Flagstaff lodge, b.

Not to be belittled in the ceiebra-
ton will be the old fiddlers' contest,
for which the winner will be awarded
a prize Of $50, cash on the barrel
head and gold medal.
This feature will prove exception
ally interesting to those who first
viewed the economic wonders of the
baby state, for it will bring back to
them the most wonderful memories
of those days which will never return
except at the days of '49' cele-
bration.
Square dances, schottishes, and all
the more popular dances which evo-
luted into the modern Charleston,
will be indulged in, to the merriment
of those whose memories go back TO

The glare and glamor of golden
days-days Of old-will be literally
picked from the pages of history and
brought to Flagstaff with all the ro-
nance of Americas flaming frontier.
This is the promise of the execu-

So how could we expect patrons to
confine their dancing to The slow and
sad music of other days?
Everything, goes that's within the

tinues. A little thing like a bit Of

shebas are not handicapped by the
troublesome skirts of their pioneer
sisters, so why should they hafta keep

Tuesday night the Elks decided
that growing of whiskers, unmutilat-

Will Preach in Baptist Church; Plan
for Union Services

w. L. Poteat, president OF

in the Baptist church at II
O'Clock Sunday morning and a.
gain at 8 o'clock Sunday evening
He is the first of the out-of-town
speakers who will come for the
union services to be held in the
Baptist church every Sunday
from now until August %.
The Baptist, Methodist, Pres
byterian, and Christian churches
have joined in the union service
plan. At first it was planned to
have the gatherings in the Meth
Odist church. But because the
ventilation of the Baptist church
has been greatly improved and
the Methodist pews have not ar
rived this arrangement was
changed.
Rev w. A. Harper of Elon
College, Rev. Wv. Peele of
Trinity Church in Durham, and
JOSephus Daniels are other
speakers who have promised to
come. And Mr.. Poteat will be
here once more, probably on the
22nd of August.
