EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
HOLDS WEALTH Of STUDY
MATERIAL FOR EVERYONE

Don't miss the educational exhibit.
Everyone is interested in CochiSe
county schools. They have a high
rating among the better educational
institutions of this country and at
the fair this year a large number of
exhibits have been prepared which
represent to some extent the work
which is carried on in these schools
School authorities will tell you that
it is hard thing to present an ex-
hibit of papers and written words
and little sketches to indicate what
goes on in the claSSroomS of the
county This is true because the
mind of the student is the real ulti-
mate test of the work of the class
room and it is not possible to place
those minds before the public SO that
they can see how they are developed
and what is placed in them through
our educational system.
The committee on the educational
exhibit has toured the country and
has instructed the faculties in every
district as to what they are to bring
in for exhibition. A careful study of
the matter has been made and rules
have been laid down which will make
the exhibit compact and easily
viewed and which at the same time
will give as definitely as possible a
portrayal of the school system and
program.
One might think that an exhibit of
the work of school children would be
uninteresting, but such is not the
case. The great interest is to look
over these exhibits and to note that
work which the cursory observer
might think was done by high school
students is actually done by third
and fourth graders. Therein lies the
surprise for those of us who pay
little attention to the schools The
work that we will see in the educa-
tional exhibit at the fair is not bril-

Vicar Bans Confetti
At Church Weddings

ELTHANI, England R-Confetti at
weddings is all nonsense, believes the
Rev. H. A. Hail. vicar of Holy Trim
ity church here, who has taken steps
to stop the practice of throwing bits
of paper because they make such
litter.
A notice posted within the church
precincts: mo confetti is to be
thrown within the church precincts
at weddings" and with the view of
insuring obedience of the rule, it is
stated that "a special fee of half a
crown (about 60 cents) will be
charged at each wedding, which will
be returned if no confetti be thrown
in the church or on the church
paths"
The notice adds: "This fine, if it
has to be imposed, will be given to
the person who has to sweep the
confetti"

in the civil war, guns, masks and

possibly something which came over

Antique furniture, old clocks, old
dishes and what not. There is q

there are many families who have

Vanity Of Present Era
AppaIIs British Canon

BIRMINGHAM tP)-This is an age
which can be summed up in the
words, "All is vanity" believes the
Rev. H B. Streeter, Canon of Here
ford.
From inspection Of "the ordinary
novel, the ordinary magazine article
the literature which reflects the
general outlook" Canon Streeter con-
cIudes that the world is morally
bankrupt.
"The problem is not whether
Christianity will survive, but whether
civilization will survive the Canon
told a conference of churchmen.
"I see no hope whatever for our
modern civilization unless somehow
we can let loose fresh life which ]
hope will be creative in art, politics
and science. as well as in what is
technically called religion and
morals"

Learns significance
Of Old Runic Script


LUND, Sweden lP-The ancient
runic script Of the Vikings, Clipped
in tombstones, recited obituary facts
and was believed to possess a magic
force for protection of the graves,
Prof. Sigurd Agrell of the University
of Lund has concluded.
Studying, inscriptions on stone
slabs dating back to the third CEN
tury, DR.. Agrell has decided that the
runic letters, like the Roman, had a
certain numerical value. The first
letter, he says, was number two, and
the last number was both one and
"a, just as an ace is counted one OF
13 in cards. His studies are regarded
as furnishing a solid basis for re-
construction of the primitive Swedish
language.

ganization is rated as the most ex-
elusive and most difficult to gain
membership in of any fraternity of
it's type in American universities and
colleges
The objective aimed at by the
students, who worked to have the
charter of this group granted to the
music department of the University
of Arizona was for the betterment
OF music on the campus and to estab-
lish contacts with other music groups
throughout the country.
Last year the mems musical frater-
nifty, Phi N1u Alpha was installed at
the institution. Now it will be pos
sible for the women to work with
the men and put on operas and
music programs that neither group
would be able to put on alone.
Candidates for the new organiza-

for winter evening dresses.
Skirts, which started out by being

they may touch the floor behind and
almost reach the knees in front. Or
they may dip downward on one side

The long point behind is an ac-

uneven hem. Occasionally the point
lengthens into train Sometimes
there are two points and two trains

on velvet frocks.

fashion and the modern young wo-

them. Dressmakers report a crafty

WASHINGTON. = With seed corn
stocks virtually depleted and frost
threatening crops in the northern
corn belt, farmers expecting to plant
