PLEASED WITH THE
SOUTH SIDE SCHOOLS
Superintendent Fulton Reports His
Impressions After a Recent
Visit.

County Superintendent OF Schools
A. II. Fulton spent two days last
week on the south side, one at Tempe
and one at Mesa City, carefully in
speeding the various schools at those
places. His report of the school work
thus far is very flattering to all con-
cerned.
The superintendent says he found
the normal training school in good
working condition and quite strong.
The Tempe public school is unusually
full and the high school is also quite
full. For the beginning of the year
he says the work seems to be very or
derby and systematic. He spent a
few moments in the domestic science
department of the high school. where
Miss Stewart was giving close in
structiOn in cooking to an assemblage
of bright young ladies. He was given
an opportunity to taste the cooking
and asserts that ii was excellent, and
in further explanation the superinten-
dent says he believes that he is a
competent judge.
Friday he devoted to the Mesa City
schools. He says he found some of
them entirely too crowded while other
rooms were well and comfortably APP
portiOned. There seems to be n strong
corps of teachers all through both the
grades and high school Professor
Robertson is at the helm and is man
aging everything very satisfactorily.
