Agricultural College, N. NJ, Oct II.
Professor P. e. McClenahan, the
principal of the preparatory depart

recently been appointed principal of
the Mesilla Park public schools. This

age and continue right on until grad.

of study of the public school will be
changed so that upon finishing 1t the
student will be eligible for entrance

ing their children, and have hereto
fore found it necessary to place them
in the independent public school, but
with the new arrangement the pupil
will be under one educational system
from the time he enters school till his
graduation. Many are moving in tc

others will come as soon as houses
