| Prof. Scudder announcement Is as
follows:
On September 18th, the Tempe public
school will open and this means the
Grammar school, also the Union high
school. The Grammar school will
open in the usual place, but the build
ing has recently had an overhauling
in the way of refitting rooms and
swinging doors to meet all require
ments so far as fire goes. and paint has
been used where needed. The Union
| high school will open in Curry hall
over the postoffice in its temporary
quarters. This building will be parri-'
toned off to meet the needs.
Some have thought the grammar
grades of the public school would not
open until September 14th, but owing
to the fact that the Union high school
opens on Sept. 18th, it has been thought
best TO have the entire Public school
System open on same date
