The public schools of the Warren District will open their doors tomor- row for an educational campaign of greater importance than it has ever before been possible to undertake in this community. While the most striking feature will be the placing in service of the new High School build ing which is undoubtedly the best equipped for its purposes Of any simi- lar institution in the Southwest this feature is but a art of an educational system whose excellence is not eX- ceeded by any community of the size of the Warren District
 The keynote of the educational cam paign was expressed eIoquently by Superintendent Phnbrook yesterday when he said
 "I want to connect up the High School and the subordinate depart ments as closely as can be with the people"

Superinten- dent Phnbrook says he does not eX- pect any appreciable falling off in at- tendance throughout the District
 "The standard of our schools is now such" MT Philbrook said that stu- dents are assured of entering other schools of the country on credentials obtained here. In fact, our graduates have gone to many of the leading in- stltutions in this country While it is distinctly gratifying to be able to &C., complish this end. we have the great CT satisfaction perhaps of proving that our courses of study ht condi- tions right here at home SO that stu- dents are prepared to take up what ever activities they may elect
