BETTER EQUIPMENT
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
NEW EQUIPMENT FOR VARIOUS
DEPARTMENTS ADD MUCH TO
THE USEFULNESS OF THE HIGH
SCHOOL.
High School Attendance Double That
OF Last Year and More Coming
New Department and Facilities At
tract Outside Students Building
Crowded Beyond Capacity.

superintendent Wallis is very much
surprised and greatly pleased at the
increased attendance at the high
school, Last year there were thirty
high school students. There are al
ready sixty enrolled and more are
coming Mr.. Wallis has been crow
ded from his Office into the hallway,
the room formerly used as an office
being needed. The commercial de-
partment has been installed there.
Three OF the four upper rooms are
also used for high school purposes.
Five teachers are assigned to these
four rooms. resulting in some con-
fusion. Some classes have their reci-
tations i'm a room I'm the basement.
The increased attendance is prob
ably due to the new equipment provid-
ed. which makes it possible to give as
thorough instruction as can be Civ
en anywhere. A good share of the
side districts, and it is probable the
number will increase every year. More
room will soon be imperative. The
crowded condition of the grades has
been relieved by rented quarters. The
capacity of the present building would
be taxed without the high school. 1t
is almost certain that another building
will be required next year.
complete laboratory equipment
for chemistry, equipment for eighth
grade, general science, botany, domes-
tic science and manual training equip
ment have been added at considerable
cost, and add much to the value OF
| instructions i'm these departments. A
complete commercial course, with
four years OF English has been ad-
ded. At the end of the second year
high school students may elect what
special work they will take, not ex-

! Superintendent Wallis believes will
greatly tend toward the upbuilding Of
the school is the bringing of the high
school down to the eighth grade Do
mestic science, for all grades above
the sixth, and manual training will
also do much in this direction. Miss
Minnie Jones who has been equipping
herself by special study has charge
of the domestic science classes. MIR.

 But, is Senator Wesley right after all? It is true that there is a grammatical rule which ranges the first personal pronoun last but there an exception to that rule which the Citizen has overlooked. That is, that in confessng a fault reciting a calamity in which the speaker writer has participated suffered with others the first personal pronoun should boldly head the procession as in T and my people have snned' Then and you and all of fell down when bloody son tiurnphed us'

The Coming Conference

The Douglas International, aluding the call for a progressive conference be held in this city April 20 whether the conference republicans with the hope that it may result in getting together. The International points the possible democratic disaster that might result from such a coalition We have the heart leave the International the tenter- hooks until April 20 the satisfaction of it's curiosity, and the calamity from such source it suggests. but cannot insure democratic safety against all possi ble accidents for instance, against explosions from within against popular uprising from without.
 The old line republicans can have concern in the forthcoming progressive conference. If any are mistaken. What business may be transacted the conference do know, nearly weeks in advance but We know some business that will not be transacted-that step will be taken ward merger of progressives and republicans. We know this from expressions that have been received it as impossible join with the republicans now it to remain with them August of 1912.
 In letting the International into this secret we feel that betraying sacred confidence and disclosing party plans. If the International suspects that We giving it the straight goods let it ask it's neighbor Brother Logic or any of the other progressives in and about Douglas.

"GOloWIN SMITH"

Though two prophets could be hardly more un- like than were GOdwn Smith and Carlyle their poit or resemblance was that both talked exactly ike thelr books. Carlyle was, be sure, far more picturesque and vivid, but Goldwin Smiths dis course was more perfect in form Every sentence might have been printed just it fell from his hps without needing any correction yet there was no sense of effort, straining effect He mad indeed a genius for expression and Il power over language even remarkable than his power of thought Nor was this confined to Eng fish, His Latin style uneXceptionally classical -i e, whatever a Roman might have thought of it, no one at Oxford Cambridge could detect any error. Yet 1t was not like the Latin compositions Of nearly all modern scholars, initiated from Cicero or Livy or Tacitus. It his style, just the Latin of Erasmus and Francis Bacon is their He handled the language with the same ease and felicity as he did his mother tongue
 He was one of four who may be deemed to have been in his time the chief masters of Eng fish prose. Two of them everybody will place in Ruskin. A third is less known. because he wrote but those who have studied the collected essays of F. w. H. Myers poet who wrote so little that he is almost forgotten except by those who read him when he and they under thirty, will probably with the view that richer and more lodious prose has been produced in our time. The supreme merit of Goldwin Smiths writing is the union of clearness, strength and brevity Its weak lies not in the dicon, for that is hardly to be surpassed, but in the fact that in his articles or books the argument does not march.

Tho School Census

We refer neghborng towns to our school census just completed and printed elsewhere this morning proof that Phoenix or School District No 1 practically the same thing. has a population of 3O, 900. It is only corroborative proof after all The voting registration figures and those gathered from time to time by the post office all point the population. The school census also indicated the rapid growth of Phoenix, nearly thirty per the last year, outstrippng any previous gain.
 More than ten years ago Phoenix real estate man devised a slogan which appeared in his litera- ture and sale board signs all town, "Phoenix- 4O,OOO-1915. Nobody expected then that Phoenix would have population of 10000 in 1915. The real estate man probably had such expectation. He only wanted to display what he thought would be rate of gain it has made in the last year, and the rate is increasing the city will pass the 4OO0O wildly set decade ago, long before 1915 passes
 But this rapid gain, pleasing it is is bringing with it serious problem rather it is making the prob- lem more serious-that of housing the school child ren. With the new Germana building and the large Seventh street building approaching completion together with the antiquated Central building the pupils of this district be housed for the com ing year but longer. Much more room will be absolutely necessary by September of next year. The work of preparing for school buildings must be shortly begun

The Tobacco Habit

For years I've spent my hard-earned wheels keep my brar fed: l always smoked save when at meals, in my truckle-be And t'other day the bones came, and took my works apart, and said while paving OCT my frame, You have a cab bage heart. It's fierce he said, T seed such wild spasmodc thumps; unless you quit the noxious weed, you'll surely bump the bumps" And I've quit: life's the blink, the world is drear, friends; and l can only sit and think of fancy Turkish blends. My nervous system is a scream, the tears stream down my cheek, and my fevered sleep I dream of burley and perique. My agony is too intense to be before you lugged l feel like twenty-seven cents. and every penny plugged. So.

WHAT RADIUM WILL DO TO WHEAT
Farm and Preside says:


 If you happen to have any radium about the farm it may be well to remember that British scientist, MT J. Thome Baker has found that it may be used to increase the yield of croys Anyhow he has found that when little a grain of radium is put in ton of soil wheat in it will sprout a week sooner, and be six inches high when the check plot is only four inches high Pretty soon the roll-top desk farmers will be telling that rad ium is fertilizer; but of it is only stimu lant which enables the crop to take of the ground without putting anything in In view of the fact that there only twelve of radiuln in existence-eommercially speaking-the matter ism t very important to the farmer. And vet it must be remembered that there are considerable amounts of mineral matter which carry very small quantities of radium, and one of these days agents may be about the country trying to sell it for our crops.

Farm Notes

The trouble with schooIs is much coddling and not enough cuffing The only way to get discipline is to go after it with rubber ruler elm club. You appeal to the pride of some boys until your tear ducts coagu- late, and when your back is turned they will fill classmates eyes full of spitbals that cant tell the Strait of Gibraltar from the Appan Way. The school board which goes back an S0-pound schoomaam for taking the kinks of wObble mouthed of Belia with poker ought to be canned by irate electorate
 The farmer who sells his eggs at 16 cents while the grocer is retailing them 25 is the original hollow w-head He has kick coming about the high cost of living when he allows the grocer to hand him a package of this de- scripon. The popular superstition that the hen nery is eleemosynary institution and that it doesn't cost anything produce eggs the farm makes some Warmers soft mark for ShreWd buyer When tries to slip over on you like this reach the and pull out a handful of his whiskers protest against frenzied finance
