 But for the fast developing com munity and city the old grade build ings soon became inadequate to care properly for the school children. The Union High School had been built and moved into shortly before the South building was erected. Still the people came in and the children null tiplied.

On February 27. 1913, the grado board of District No. decided that something must be done to relieve the crowded conditions of the school system. A mass meeting was called at the City Hall March 5th. Soon after an election was called to vote bonds. On April 37th, 1914. ground was broken for $75.0O0 building. The Board of Trustees was then composed of O. s. Stapley Jas w. Lesueur and H. l.. Chandler. ht concluding to enlarge the facilities of the school district they determined tu build for the future and to build well. Too much credit cannot be giVen to these ahe business men for fhe care, time and consideration they gave to the work of de %eloping the future of the school system of Dis trict No. 1. Their fine business acu- men and judgment was ably strength ened by the keen and efficient pro- fessional experience of Supt H. c. Roberts, whose work in educational interests in Maricopa county and in the state made him | valuable per son to aid in Derfecting the plans contemplated.
 shortly after the plans were drawn and accepted for q new building MT. Lesueur as a member. and MT RO hertson, as superintendent retired and MT. R. :. LongmOore and Supp. Geo. C.

ITS PHYSICAL ASPECTS

This beautiful new building is 2I0 feet in length and 70 feet in width. It is built of brick on a heavy cement the ground, is four feet wide to ground level and twenty inches in width at the foot of the wall. Tine building is faced throughout with No. l, Tucson pressed brick, while sus- taining walls are of native brick from the Shill yards. The basement con tains store and fuel rooms as well as fumigating and air system ap- pliances The air intake extends from basement to roof. and all air, both hot and cold passes through the charcoal washer and is thoroughly cleansed before going to the class rooms. The general heating used will be hot air. A fGmigating room in which all books and supplies used by pupils are fumigated is one of the interesting features of the build
 ing. Twenty large and convenient class rooms with cloak room facili- ties are in the building proper On the first floor is situated a large trophy room and adjacent to it the library. The trophy room will re- ceive additions of specimens each year, and will represent the progress of students in the various arts and sciences as well as speciemns from nature. The principals office ana reception room is conveniently sit uated in the front part of the build ing on the first floor. Adjoining the main entrance is t wide corridor extending the full width of the build ing, and this will connect with the auditorium to be built at future date The building has been planned for the addition of the auditorium, and with very little expense. A four teen foot corridor extends the full length of the building on both floors, giving plenty of room for the en- trance and departure of students four abreast The domestic science room has been located in the southeast part of the building and is large and commodous, being fitted with gas heater and coal stove ranges. The gas plates and individual tables of the best type were installed by con- tractors. Next to the kitchen is

 Referring to the policy of the Mesa schools, MT Sherwood says:

future will be increased efficiency along lines of work. The idea is fast gaining ground in educational life. i that there is really mo royal road to learning that kindergarten methods are well enough in their place but that the play element and interest through amusement should not be carried too far. While wholesome play is recog EiZed as requisite in all school work, at the same time the dignity and worth of wholesome work should be constantly emphasized in all school systems. Accuracy and precision can not be obtained without long and pa tient drilling. These qualities should be more and more demanded of all
