trains No and No. 4 the limited east
and west bound trains, to all former
stops along the Arizona line except
Ash Fork and Williams, junction

Now that the smoke of the bat
tie of the school election has
cleared away, the work of pre-
pairing for the enforcement of
the graded and high school
should begin. The COURIER sug-
gest that the county be sold a
site on the graded school lot to
build its house upon, and that
the campus be used jointly by
two schools. 1t would be rank
folly for the district to sell out
the entire property to the coun-
ty. The present building, while
possibly the worst arranged
school building in the State, is
large enough to accommodate the
graded school. and can if the dis
trict ever wants to have it done,
be remodeled and made a good
building, The county is able to
build a good high school building
and will have to do so. So let's
sit tight and hold to the idea Of
separate schools.
