 The old primary building, back of the main building, has been rearrang- ed and fitted up for gymnasium and 1t answers this purpose most excel lently. The partitions have been re moved 80 that the whole building has been converted into long hall, about 30x7O which affords ample space for all the ordinary drills in physical cul' ture.
 A the improvements mentioned, as might be supposed, have cost some thing, but the money has been very wisely expended, and the board is to be commended for it's action in this matter. The town of Globe is cer- tainly fortunate in having such ousi- ness men on its board who give so much of their time aud thought to the improvement and advancement of its schools.
 Friday afternoon, January 10, will be visitors day at all of the schools, and the citizens of Globe are cordially invited to visit and inspect any or all of the schools on the date mentioned At the Central school the exhibits which were prepared for the teachers institute of last week will be placed on exhibition again for the benefit of the patrons of the schools who did not have all opportunity of seeing them on the former occasion. The exhibits embrace designs in architecture, map drawing, free-hand drawing, writing, arithmetic, algebra, Latin, German, geometry, bookkeeping and many oth- CT things of more than ordinary inter est. These exhibits were highly praised by the visiting teachers of the institute, and the patrons of the school should make an effort to see them.
 It may be of interest to the people Of Globe to know that for the first time in the history of the school ade- quate instruction has been provided in physical culture Setting-up eXer- cises, breathing exercises and dumb bell exercises are given the girls every day by Miss Lulu Wingar and Miss lnez Coffee, who have kindly agreed to undertake and carry on the work, At !
 the same period the boys form squads on the campus to receive instruction in military tactics from Prof. Davis. who has had special training for this work. Pref Davis holds the office of first lieutenant in the National Guard Of Arizona and has made a special study of military science and tactics. He is assisted in the daily drills with the pupils by Prof. Cole. The exer- cises Of the girls in the gymnasium and the military drills Of the boys oc- cur each day at 2l5 in the afternoon. The regularity and the expedition with which the pupils have been trained tO form in marching order and to leave the building rapidly and with. cut confusion will be of great benefit to them in cases of fire or other emer- gency. A regular fire company has been organized among the pupils and a hook and ladder outfit, hose wagon and other appliances have been pro- vided for their use.
 The course of study has been thor Oughly revised, and it may be of inter. est to the patrons of the school tO know that a full four years high school course has been prepared for the advanced pupils which will admit them to the freshman classes of the universities of Arizona, California, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Chicago, the Ari- zona Normal at Tempe and other lead ing schools.
