Admission standards raised for Arizona normal schools
A joint meeting of Tempe and Northern Arizona Normal School boards with the State Board of Education announced higher entry requirements. After August 15, 1919 applicants must have one year of high school, and after August 15, 1920 two years. The change stems from expanded rural high schools and aims to avoid harming current students. A separate notice seeks Keystone Copper stock at 20 cents per share from J H Evans of Newton Kansas.
