made it imperative that additional fla
 cilities in the way of buildings should
 be provided to meet this need. The
 district in 1910 bonded itself for one
 hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
 Following the sale of the bends work
 was begun upon the buildings which
 are now complete and which are q
 credit to this or any other city.
 The group plan of building was se
 lected in preference to one large
 building, because among other reas
 ons, it is particularly adapted to this climate. By having several buildings
 separated by convenient distances, the students are enabled to spend five minutes at the end of every forty-fi minute period in the open air. Having so few days of inclement weather dur ing the school year no inconvenience is experienced by the necessity of pass ing from one building to another be- { tween classes. Furthermore the group ! laln makes it possible to build for l specific purposes. Then too, an abun- i dance Of light may be had. The group | plan is also favorable to the enlarge l ment of the system as demands may i arise And since it is believed that the 1 present rapid growth of the Salt River valley will be maintained at least for | some years. facilities for the enlarge ment of the schools will be m demand.

In 1895 the legislature Of the terri tory of Arizona passed q law providing for the organizing anu maintaining of union high schools, that is the cOordin- atiOn of two or more districts into a high school district, the high school to be supported by all the districts ad- joining.
 Almost immediately upon the pass age of this law, school district No l comprising the city of Phoenix and twelve other districts lying adjacent thereto, united themselves and formed what is now known as the Phoenix un- ion high school district. The names of the districts thus uniting are Phoe- nix, Riverside, Isaac. Wilson. osborn, Creighton. Cartwright, Murphy. AL hambra. Grand Avenue. Jefferson Madison, Independence.
 Following the organization of the district. the old Churchill residence was bought and SO remodeled that it could be used for school purposes.
 During the first year of the higf schools existence four teachers were employed and ninety students wer, registered The school now employe. twenty-one teachers and has a regis tration of four hundred and eighty three. This registration viii approXi. mate five hundred and twenty five be- fore the close of the present Schoo

An Idea BuiIt
 MtO Concrete

Here We have span of thirty nine years in the educational history of
 Phoenix apG no attempt has been made to set forth all that has been ac- compIished in that time. The remark able and almost miraculous advance of
 the graded school system oT Phoenix is another story which will shortly ap- pear in another of series of weekly descriptions dealing with all the schools of the county.
 This page has to do only. with the
 growth of the high school from a small
 and comparatively recent beginning.
 In this group of buildings is some
 thing more than concrete and wood
 and glass. \ carefully constructed idea
 was built into it. Before the plans for
 the buildings were drawn. d definite
 purpose was agreed upon for the edu-
 cation of the pupils with reference
 largely to the conditions of this com
 munity. Where according to statistical
 recorls in every community. most of
 them would settle. II was further decided that the in formation imparted to the pupils
 should be specific and not general. The motto adouted was. thoroughness and not smattcring As MT. Stabler, the most efficient principal of the school put it: If anything is worth getting, get enough of it. so that the pupil can earn a dollar with it.
 That rule is followed in all the de- partments. Those who emerge from the domestic science department are equipped for housekeeping in all its details. The manual training school turns out artificers who lack only the experience that years can give.
 The pupils of the business depart ment, it may be news to many Phoe- ricians, have won more interstate prizes than those of any other high school in the United States.
 So it is in every department Ex- 1 perts have been amazed at the stage attained by the PheeniH--high school and they have pronounced it the 1 equal in excellence and equipment of any lying between the Atlantic and the l Pacific. There are few in the country 1 that may be compared with it.

 The acoustic properties of the build ing are unusually good.
 Science hall contains the physical ard biological laboratories and lecture rooms all of which are generously sup piled with the most modern equipment specially selected for high school sci ence instruction In this luildng is located the agricultural department which consists of laboratory, demon stration room. soil room and tool room The demonstratfon room and also all lecture rooms have elevated floors and tablet arm chairs. they are also equipped for the stereopticon. The tool room is used for the study and demonstration of all kinds of farm tools and machinery on the whole the ag- ricuIture department in all i-s appoint ments is commensurate with the inn rortarce of farming in the Salt River valley
 To th- rear of science hall is located the schools experimental farm. In the spring it will be put into . state of cultivation.

AN EXPLOITATION
 OF OUR SCHOOLS

This is the first of a series of articles which will appear weekly in The Republican, dealing with the schools of this county. Next, the high school at Tempe and Mesa will be taken up. After that graded schools Of city and county in their turn. Those features of the schools of the greatest interest will be presented. The articles will be illustrated by new half tones of buildings. The purpose IS to let not only strangers, but residents know more Of Mari copa county's schools than they have known before.

4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION
 AND OPERATION OF SCHOOL

air is kept constantly flowing through each room In warm weather the rooms may be cooled by operating the fans In the auditorium the temperature is controlled by thermostats; elsewhere by hand operated Hampers.
 one of the striking features of the new building is the abundance of light in every room and in eacn corridor. Skylights are used to supplement the windows where needed and possible.
 For the purpose of facilitating the administration of the school an inde- pendent local telephone system with q capacity of forty phones was installed. Thus communication from any room with any other room may be had with out delay.
 The plant as it now stands is not the result of chance. It was built around an idea. for a specific purpose, and that purpose was to provide d useful and usabIe education for the youth of the Phoenix high school dis trict Eyery detail Was worked out f from the viewpoint of the present and the probable future needs as far as they could be anticipated, of the pco- . located The policy was not followed Of searching among the schools of the ration selecting one that pleased the i fancy or. ministered to vanity and then 1 duplicating 1t but. on the contrary. the first thing that was done was to de- eide upon what the children of this | district needed to equip them for their : life's work. Inquiries were made among commercial professional, and ! industrial workers as to the fundamen- ] tal requirements for success in their i various lines. This obtained. the next 1 question was, what kind of education and what kind of facilities are best i adapted to producing the results de Sircd2
 Around the facts thus gathered ! with the needs of the students ever ! foremost. the school was built, It was |, built for the student, not the student ! for it-it was built for the purpose oi l supplying the specific needs of our own childrtn. more than eighty pei ] cent of whom eff statistics of other communities signify anythingD will ! follow some one of the vacations which exist in the community in which they 1 are reared The plans were worked

 needs of the community the public ana

 Anything in the way of history of athletics in the Phoenix mon High School must tell like other histories of tlfumphs and reVerses; but through success and failure alike may be traced the progress of an idea. Fifteen years ago one or two sports for which only a score of the strongest men in the school were eligible: today three hundred students both boys and girls. taking part in athletics and setting up drills of one kind and another-that's the progress of the idea toward the ideal-tle scientific physical training of every student as d part of his regular " Ork
