A LMOST anyone who writes regularly for the
papers receives many inquiries from people who want
- know what books they must read in order to edu
cate themselves.
Few Of us realize the extent to which the desire for edu
cation goes.
Education is felt by to be distinct asset Of Life
and those who have been denied the privilege Of education in
their early days seek to make for their lost oppoun
ties by later activity.
Dr. Albert Mansbrdge Of England lecturng in this
try recently spoke of the Workers Educational Association
and other similar organizations In England
He said that fully fifty thousand workers in England
following some sort of educational course.
Some classes study for four years and for two and
others The great Of people had been forced
quit school when from fourteen years Of age They
sought in this to make for what they had missed
Right after the the sort of thing done In
Germany. Both Czechosovakia and Denmark, well
China, have shown good results in this direction.

lessor of international law He also said that there
528 such classes in England and Wales and than 200

Some people insist that it's the

But the disease of any body be-

for whom 1t has been the real
basis Of the most uplifting part
Of their education.
I have been led to write this
by reading a communication or
Mr.. Drew Bond to Science. IN
which he tells Of having. in order
to crafty a desire to know the
precise words of Copernicus. to
consult the copy Of the original
in Latin possessed by the New
York Public Library. Then ne
learned that no English transla-
ton existed. and with the most
commendable public spirit he con-
suited two large book publishers
in New York to learn what were
the prospects for the publication
Of such a translation.
Disappointing Results.
The results Of his inquiry were
not cheering. One Of the replies
he received affirmed that "the
publication of this work could
not be undertaken at the present
time with any hope OF CONNER
cial success-at least by a gen.
eral publishing house" But the
same publishers suggested that
one of the university presses"
might be glad to bring it out and
''to secure for 1t the distribution
which it deserves"
But, alas, one Of the greatest
of these presses "regretfully de.
cided that it would be unwise for
us to attempt the publication"
Reading that, together with a
list of some of the publications
that these presses, hidden in aca-
demic shades, do send forth to
shake the world, one wonders
what the touchstone OF available

Tucson high school basket ball
teams won the southern Arizona con-
ference, going through the season
with no defeats, winning both home
and return games with all the high
schools of the southern section.
The Douglas boys team ranks sec
ond with nine victories and four de-
feats in their 13 conference games,
Bisbee coming third with five VIC
tories and four defeats. The Bisbee
girls team ranks second in the
girls conference, Tucson being the
only team to defeat them.
:. The coaches of the southern con-
ferences with select an aH-star myth
cal quintet and also and all-star
Isextet on the basis of the playing
this season.
: The Tucson girls were superior to
all the other teams and will probably
draw a majority of the places on the
team selected. The boys team will
be harder to select as all the teams
had good players. ''The big four"
of the southern conference, Bisbee,
Douglas, -Nogales and Tucson were
evenly matched with Tucson having a
slight edge on the other three.
While no definite selection has yet
been, made it is highly probably that
Causey and Cary of the local quintet
will land place and Hargis Of
Bisbee is sure to land a berth as his
playing has been good in the last
five games. Mote, Nelson and Cary
of Tucson are also favored as strong
contenders for places on the mythical
team.
This selection will be made early
this week as soon as word is re-
ceived from the coaches and the Of

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-For the first
time in American tennis history two
foreign players will fight it out IN
a national championship final on the
Seventh Regiment armory courts
Monday, with Rene La Coste ana
Jean Borotra of France on opposite
sides of the net. And for the second
time in successive years their match
will mark the passing of the Ameri-
can indoor title to France, Borotra
having won the championship a year
ago.
The two Davis cup stars of the tri-
color reached the last round of the
event today. La Coste, conqueror
yesterday of Vincent Richards, easily
defeated the Princeton sophomore,
John Van Ryn, 60, 6-1, and Borotra,
