.PARENT-TEACHER FOUND
ERS DAY MEMORIAL

Thirty-six years ago this
month the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers had it's
beginning. 1t was in February
of 1897 at Washington D. G.
that a group of women met and
organized the National Cong
ress of Mothers" In 1924 the
name was changed to the "Na-
tionl Congress of Parents and
Teachers"
New York was the first state
branch, being organized in 1897.
Today there are 40 state brap-
ches, including the District of
Columbia and Hawaii. In these
40 state Congress organizations
there is a total of over 10000
local units with a membership
approaching one and one-half
million---both men and women,
mothers, fathers and teachers.
In recent years more and more
men have become parent con-
scioUs" and have become active
ly identified with this purpose
full movement.
Founders Day memorial pro-
grams were observed in each
local group in Arizona during
this month to show appreciation
and gratitude to those who in
earlier days saw the need of
concentration of parent and
teacher interest around the
children of this nation.
Mrs. Alice A. Birney conceiv-
ed the idea of organizing the
for this purpose, par
ticularly the young and mex
perienced mothers. She took
this idea to Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst of California who had
shown her interest in children
by organizing many kindergar-
tens throughout the country.
Mrs. Hearst saw a vision of
what could be accomplished for
the children's welfare if the
mothers all went into conference
regarding their moral and phys
zeal safeguarding and their
spiritual training, as well as to
provide for their necessary re-
creation. Thus Mrs. Alice A.
and Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst united their efforts and
launched great child move
ment.
Interest in observance of
Founders Day was first arous-
ed by Mrs. David G. Mears
who was Mary Grinnell of a
pioneer Iowa family. Mrs.
Mears is now National Chair
man of Founders Day.
Outstanding achievements of
this national organization are
the creation of public opinion
for the organization of Juvenile
courts throughout the United
States.

DEATH VALLEY
IS DESIGNATED
NATL MONUMENT

Death Valley Scotty, famboy-
ant figure whose exploits have
created saga of the West, was
credited with being largely re-
sponsible for the establishment
of Death Valley as a national
monument.
Heavy-set, jaunty, boisterous
Walter Scott, did more than
any living man to popularlze
the desert sink lying 800 feet
below sea level near the Nevada
state line, in Inyo county.
The genius for publicity and
his genuine love of this region,
at once a forbidding hell of
heat and a brilliant achieve
ment of prankish nature, bore
fruit in the reported signing by
President Hoover of a procla-
nation setting aside the valley
as desert monument.
There are grizzled prospect
ors who perhaps know Death
Valley better than Walter Scott
but the air of mystery which has
grown up about him, the stories
of his fabulous gold mine and
his fair for making the front
page" have fixed him in the
mind of the public as veritable
man of the desert.
The name of Death Valley
Scotty raced across the front
pages of the nation more tina n
20 years ago when the weather
beaten figure of Walter Scott
came out of the eastern end of
Inyo county, burdened down
with sacks of gold.
The gold, he let it'be known,
came from an immensely rich
mine he had discovered in the
heart of Death Valley, where
nature perpetrated one of her
greatest jokes on mankind.
Unbearably hot, its few water
holes merely sinks of alkaline
water, devoid of fora and fauna
the valley was rightly named,
for it claimed the lives of prac-
tically every person VINO at
tempted to cross its treacher-
Gus expanse.
With his sacks of gold dust
Scotty went on spree He
hired Santa Fe train and made
a spectacular cross-country
dash, to set a speed record I'M
equalled to this day.
Thereafter Scotty had no
difficulty in keeping himself,
like cinder, in the public eye.
He told few tall tales. But his
mine became bigger mystery
as the years passed. He volun-
teered no information about it,
yet he seemingly had illimitable
wealth.
He built a huge castle in the
heart of Death Valley. Part of
his land lies within the national
monument the government has
set up.
A few years ago the source of
SCOTS wealth became known.
One source at least. 1t devel-
oped that Albert NJ. Johnson,
siIentChicago millionaire, was
Scotty's partner. Johnson had
given thousands to churches
1t was reported that Johnson
had financed the desert charac-
ter in his spectacular adven-
lures.
Perhaps he did. But the
rumor of Scotty's Midas-like
mine persists to this day.
One cannot forget Scotty. He
wears a brilliant red necktie,

Fl. GRANT, ARIZONA CALLS
FOR READING MATERIAL

SIdUc lHuuSlTldl school IOr boys
for books and magazines fol
leisure time reading. H. L. Os-
borne, of Miami, recently ap-
pointed educational director for
the institution has asked that
fall persons or organizations hav-
ing magazines, especially those
containing wholesome stories
and matetlal pertaining to
mechanical or scientific subjects
make them available to the boys.
"The boys have too much
leisure time at present." he said
while discussing the matter,
land welcome anything to read.
We want good magazines of any
age.
"Any of the boys like to read
but have very little available
reading matter"
1--WE especially appeal to or
CARNATIONS which may have ac-
cumUlated magazines and can
make them available for the
seventy-one boys now in the
state industrial school,"
Mr.. Osborne returned from
Phoenix Saturday where he had
been to arrange for textbooks
and some magazines for use in
inaugurating his educational
program among the boys who
have been sent to the institu-
ton by the various juvenile
courts of the state.
While some of the boys are
unable to read very much,
Others have reached high
school attainment, and like to
read all types of material.
Substitution of instructors
for guards and Inauguration of
an educational program have
been announced at the state
industrial school by H. l.. Os-
borne, educational director who
recently assumed his duties
under the administration of
Roy M. Kelly. Superintendent.
The educational program was
launched last week with the
giving of standardized achiev-
ment tests to the boys of the
institution in order that they
might be classified according to
school attainment. With a
staff of FIVE instructors, includ-
ing one for industrial arts and
one for agriculture, the program
will be developed on a COM
prehensive and practical basis,
Mr.. Osborne said.
Results of the tests showed
five boys unable to read or
write and therefore below the
Bird grade achievement level.
Twelve showed third grade &C
Movement, twelve with fourth
grade ranking, eight with fifth,
nine with sixth, five with sew
enth and FIVE with eighth grade
attainment level. Six boys
showed ratings while nine boys
were not tested. Some of these
were at home at the time of the
tests and will return to the
school later.
Boys over l6 years of age will
be required to take some indus
trial training or agriculture
while all those under that age
will be given training in the
regular academic subjects, Os-
born said. The three Rs will
be stressed at the outset, with
some classes in civics and his
tory.
The instructors are not ad-
ditional employees, he said, but
will serve in place of former
employees whose entire time was
given to guard duty. This ar
rangement will make possible
