their religious affiliations, and
the baptism Of the child. Then
the matron's and teachers re-
port on intelligence, conduct,
morality and general character
istics, and finally the relinquish-
ment by the parents, guardian
or court.
There are two types of foster
homes, the adaptive and the
free foster. The adaptive home
is one in which the child be-
comes completely assimilated,
socially and legally. The free
foster home is used for the old
er child. Here adoption is not
alb ligatory, but even create
care must be exercised IN the
selection of this type of home
as they sometimes lack the un-
selfish love interest of the other.
Then too, the older child is not
as easily asslmilated into the
family group as an infant, or
child of pre-school age.
In the case of each child,
ample records are maintained
for the guidance of workers in
dealing with the child and for
information which may at any
time in the future be of value to
lit.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
ADOPTS SCHEDULE OF FEES.
Phoenix, Arizona. Feb. 10

Phoenix, Arizona, Feb. 10
Regulations governing certifca-
ton of Arizona teachers and
school administrators, and set
ting up a schedual of fees for
such certifcation, were adopted
by the state board of education
at its meeting here last weekend.
The regulations require all sup
erintendents, general supervisors
and principals in the state to
secure administrators certi6-
Gates in order to hold their po-
sitions in schools of five teachers
or more. Fees set by the board
require payment of $500 for
out-of-state teachers to have
their credentials examined and
certificates issued, 50 90 for Ari-
zona teachers with one year or
more residence in the state, 50.
for renewals, and S1.00 for du-
plicate certificates.
The fee regulations and those
governing administrative certifi-
Gates became effective February
4th 1888, provided however that
those administrators now en-
gagged in such work may receive
administrative certificates in ad-
dition to and for the life of their
present certificate.
Administrative certificates are
to be granted upon evidence of
a minimum of three years of
successful teaching experience;
eligibility of an elementary, sec
ondary or life certificate; and a
minimum of fifteen semester
hours in education devoted to
school organization, administra-
ton and supervision, in addition
to and after securing a bachelors
degree. Amended regulations
governing kindergarten-primary
elementary, secondary and spec
ial certificates are to become eff
fective Aug. 20, 1886.
Action of the board was taken,
it was said by some of its mem
bers, to forestall legislative ac-
tion regarding residence require
ments for Arizona teachers,
which it was felt might react
adversely against the state in
some respects.

ARIZONA CHILDREN'S HOME
BY K. 0. Baker, Assoc. Director

Those who are interested in
promoting the welfare of child
ren seem to be agreed that In
times like these, the child should
be our first consideration. They
have bodies that are growing,
minds that are developing,
souls that are being stimulated.
Neglect will dull ard retard all
three. Every child saved from
such an experience is a child
with a better chance.
Last year, the Arizona Child
ren's Home Association cared
for more than 600 children who
were taken from every county
in the state. Some were orph-
aned, others were neglected
abused, or illegitimate, while
Others came from homes where
the parent or parents were the
victims of the existing economic
crises. All, however were help
ed in some way and many are
now in foster homes that had
been thoroughly investigated
and approved, where they are
receiving the loving care and
guidance, education, and envir-
onment which.is so necessary to
good citizenship happiness and
success. These figures cannot
tell the entire story. Success
in children's work is measured
not In volume, but in quality of
service. There is no possible
way to translate this service in
to print. The Home in every
instance, has endeavored thru
the skill and resources at hand
to meet the needs of each child.
The application to receive
and care for a child usually
comes from the juvenile court,
a church, social agency, or in
terested citizen. Frequently it
is found that satisfactory ad-
justment can be worked out
and the child be permitted to
remain with the parents or rela-
tives thus eliminating the neces-
sity of the association taking
any further action other than
to supervise the situation for a
reasonable length of time. In
case it is not practical to effect
an adjustment, arrangements
are made to receive the child
into the custody of the associa-
ton where the necessary medi-
cal examination is given.
Before the child can be plac-
ed in a foster home, the field
worker must obtain the follow
ing important data: birth cer-
tificate, legal residence, nation
ality, family history, insofar as
is possible,) parents physical,
m entail and social condition
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-02-10

For the month of January,
visitors came from Al states,
Alaska, District of Columbia,
Canada, Mexico and Ireland.
Over 40 percent of the visitors
to the Casa Grande Ruins came
from out of the state. Even
during depressions, it may be
noticed, the National Monu-
ments and Parks are of economic
advantage to local communities.

HOUSE APPROVAL

ACT ON IMPENDING IS
SUES. MEMBERS THERE
TALK FIRST AND THEN ACT
By HERBERT PLUMMER
llsy Associated Hsressl


WASHINGTON, March 90
Perhaps no better illustration of
the wide difference between the
house and senate ways of doing
things has appeared than the sit
uation which presented itself with
in the first week of the special
session.
The house, for all its size and
unwieldyness moved along those
first few days clipping off the
various items in the presidents
Legislative program with the speed
and precision of well-oiled ma
chine.
On the first day Of the session
the emergency banking bin was
passed, Two days later the presi-
dents drastic economy bill was
showed through. And on the fifth
day of the session it had approved
and sent to the senate the bill
Ilegalizing beer.
The senate, however, refused to
show any such speed. After the
banking bill had been cleared the
first day, senators began to dem
onstrate that "the greatest DELHI
erative body" in the world is no
idle phrase.
In the senate they talk first
and then vote. In the house. il
! has been pointed out. the repre-
Isentatives usually do their voting
with q minimum Of talking at the
time and then later. IL opportun-
| ity permits, give voice to their
convictions.
That Is what happened i'm the
first week Of the present special
session. After the beer bin was
out of the way in the house il
seemed that there was nothing
left to do. The senate hadn't even
finished the economy bill.
So. 10 usc the parliamentary
expression. the house met .on the
state of the Union Jack Garner

session rs Letting the boys get

Speeches and grievances a

Such speeches may not go sexy
far In influencing legislation. Bns

stances. the members feel better
