State Superintendent of Schools Addresses Stu dents of High School and Comments Upon Work of Various Departments

Professor C. c. Case. state super intendant of schools. was d visitor at the high school yesterday. For the eight years previous to 1908
 Professor Case was one of the most able members of the high school fla culty. His visit to the school was something in the nature of q home coming, and he was welcomed by the
 high school assembly as d Wanderer
 returned. Professor Case, in address
 sing the students, expressed his ap-
 prcciation of the faculty of the old
 est and best of high schools-the
 best in equipment, attendance, and
 els The strength of the pio-
 peers and the brains of the east are
 here in Arizona, the land of big pos
 abilities and bigger inspirations"
 said MT. Case. I'm glad I'm, arnt you?" Finally Nr Case urged upon
 the students the value of specializa-
 ton without narroWness, specializa-
 tion of the original and inimitable kind
 Professor Case had some very pleasing things to say to the repor-
 ter for the Republican last night After voicing his satisfaction at be
 ing able to visit the school again MT Case went on to say:
 T had time to visit only the science, manual training and com mercial departments today. The commercial department under Pro- lessor Michael has grown since l was there, and now 1t has all the aspects of an up to date business college. Thirty or forty typewrit- CTS were running at full blast, and in the stenographical room l found the students taking more than one hundred words per minute from die tation
 The two years course in book keeping is supplemented with prac 1 tical office work for the advanced students There will be twenty graduates from this department this year and from the work that l saw feel justified in saying that these graduates will be the very kind that business men are looking for.
 The science department is prob ably the best equipped of it's kind
 in the state. 1ns department offers y, | cral science and agriculture. The purpose and policy of the work as outlined by Professor Jones 1 is to select, study and investigate those things in the scientific field which are the most beneficial and valuable, and at the same time the | most interesting and practical. The l demonstration farm for agricultural works is an innovation.
 Tn Professor CarrolIs manual training department, l found most l complete and up to date equipment. The work affords training to stu 1 cents of both sexes whereby their 1 chance for success and opportunity | for service in the community is l greatly enhanced. It was highly
 pleased with the kind of work being done in this department.
 1 When 1 was connected with the institution eight years ago, Phoenix l high school consisted of one lone building. a faculty of eleven mem
 bers, and an enrolment of about | two hundred students. Under the 1 supervision of Professor Stabler the | school has grown till it now has an enrolment of four hundred and | eighty give, a faculty consisting Of | twenty two able instructors. and a | group of buildings that in number and architectural design are the fin
 est in Arizona.
 No other school in the state of fers as many courses as the Phoe- nix high school and I hope to be able to visit the school again sOor
 and follow out the work done IT all the courses
