Stirring words, written by the
patriot-philosopher Tom Paine
at the time of the American
Revolution, have been set to
music by Dr. Grant Fletcher,
professor of Music at Arizona
State University.
One of the nation’s most re­
spected contemporary compos­
ers, Dr. Fletcher now has ready
for premier a 30-minute long
arrangement for mixed chorus
and symphony orchestra the
famous Text 13 of Paine’s ser­
ies of writings, called “The
Crisis.”
Familiar to every American
who has read the patriotic lit­
erature of our history, the text
begins “These are the times
that men’s souls. The summer
soldier and sunshine patriot
will, in this crisis, shrink from
the service of their country.”
An American patriot born in
England, Paine provided some
of the most potent spurs to pub­
lic opinion in the days when
desire for American indepen­
dence was growing. His words
sustain the spirit of indepen­
dence during the darkest days
of the Revolution.
Paine died 150 years ago this
year. Dr. Fletcher says he ar­
ranged his composition for
chorus and orchestra to “give
Paine’s stirring words a living
artistic form whereby their in­
spirational ideas may be re­
turned to the American aud­
iences of our time.”
, .
The musical work is divided
into several sections; each based
on an individual idea expressed
in “The Crisis.” These are sep­
arated by orchestral interlude^.
The music veers from chant, to
march, to dirge to fit the de­
mands of' the text, and builds
to a series of stirring climaxes.

"Education First. .

zona State University freshmen
will be given this week to en­
able the students to save con­
siderable time during freshihan
Week.
Both the tests and the X-rays

“All goals of the Navajo tribe
are secondary to the goal of
education for its people.”
Paul Jones, chairman of the
Navajo Tribal Council, stress­
ed this opinion at Arizona StateUniversity last week. Jones was
a speaker at the Indian educa­
tion workshop, being sponsored
by the ASU College of Educa­
tion, June 8 - July 11.
“In helping ourselves in the
upper level of education, we
are planning a sure foundation
for the future,” said Jones.
“The eventual goal of the Navajos, largest of all American
tribes, is self-reliance — the
chance to compete on equal
terms in a white man’s world.”
The tribal leader cited the
extraordinary progress of his
people in education. School
enrollment was 30,000, as op­
posed to 12,751 just eight years
ago. “Less than 10 Navajos
were in college in 1935. This
year, there are over 300,” he
noted. ,
Jones and other tribal lead­
ers are sure their people’s fu-

ture depends upon educated
leaders, who will" help develop
industries and natural resour­
ces on the reservation and who
will lead a continuing quest
for self-reliance.
The probem of providing ed­
ucation for an expanding pop­
ulation is growing Increasingly
complex, as reservation roads
are improved, and more people
leave their homes for seasonal

and permanent employment.
Establishment of industries in
and near the reservation adds
to the problem.
' “All these fast-developing
conditions briiig the Indian
people into closer contact with
a highly competitive society,
point up the need of getting all
Navajo children of school age
into school,” Jones asserted.
