President Matthews mentioned the necessity of ground improvements and a new manual arts building. The necessity for building has become more and more imperative as the demand for trained teachers along those lines have increased most rapidly. The state should equip the normal for furnish- ing teachers for these subjects as well as in the regular school work. And this cannot be done until provisions are made for extending the work. The only specific improvement which has been made on the grounds during the past two years is the quarrangle, com posed of the lily fountain cement walks, grass plots and flower gardens, located just north of the main build ing and bounded on the east and west by the science building and auditorium respectively. The cost of this inn provemeut was just one thousand dol lars. It was surprising to many to know how little such improvements cost the individual tax payer. For in stance, it was represented that the cost of ground improvements to a tax pave, whose name is on the assessment roll for one thousand dOllars was just one cent, for two thousand dollars, two cents and etc. The cost of an inli- vidual for a forty-fivc thousand ;lul- lar building whose name appears or the assessment roll for one thousand dol lars would be forty five cents. for two thousand dollars, ninety cents and etc. In connection with this statement when it is manifest that over seventy five per cent of the community are on the assessment for three thousand dollars or less. it is really surprising to most of them how small a portion of the amount they contribute to the state institution. All of the foregoing esti- mates were made for the purpose of encouraging the local support already extended the institution by the citi- zens of Tempe regarding an anticipated improvements.
