Tolleson High School Dis trict Steps to Front With Plans for Modern Educa- tional Plant-More Land for Grounds

The newly erected Toleson high school district will ask for 900 worth of bonds. At a mass meeting of the citizens representing the several dis tricts, included in the new high school district recently held, it was decided that the board of supervisors of this county would be immediately asked to issue a call for an election for voting on bonds to the sum of $60,000.
 The matter of the school was put squarely to the voters of the districts. The plans for the building, in the hands of the trustees, call for a structure costing approximately $3S,O0O. It is figured that it will cost $10,000 for furnishing the building. That will leave $12,000 for other purposes, en- larging the grounds, the building or for other equipment as it may be needed.
 It was pointed out that there are in Tolleson district, at the present time, over one hundred children ready for the high school. In the fall, when the building is opened, it is likely that there will be more. and that the whole course and four grades will have to be put in at the opening session. That meafs that there will be employed in the district, from four to eight addi
 tional teachers, and that the new build ing will start out with an actual at tendance of considerable size, as com pared to the start made by other schools
 For the benefit of the new school, w. c. TollesOn, who has already made the new school district a present of five acres for a campus. stated at the meet ing that he would at once either give to the school gratis. five additional acres, or would reserve for the school the five acres which they can buy at any time in the future at a minimum price. He will state definately to the board of directors, which he will chose to do, in day or SO.
 The election will be called as soon as time for advertising and other business connected with such matters, is past and completed It is thought the new building will be ready for pupils at the opening of the fall sessions of school

 The articles of incorporation of the new Y. w. C. A., as prepared for the organization, were read at the meet ing and an official voice of the mem befs present was asked on their adop ton. They were voted unanimously, and the membership was generally agreed that the articles as framed were just the need of the young women. No definite sum of incor- poration was named.
 Following the annual report of the treasurer, auditor ana secretary, MISS Bertha McEwen Knipe, the president of the young women's organization, spoke to those present. Her remarks outlined the work of the year just finished and put before the members program of what is to come in the future. In part, she said:
 When the directors were arrang- ing for this meeting of the associa- tion and the question was raised, Where are we to assemble?' the an swer was given quickly and decisive ly, Let us assemble in the gymna- sium' And why assemble in that place?' was the second question Because it is ours And the key note of the glorious harmony of the associations ideals and realities was sounded right then.

Garnett King, who succeeded Flu gene Fox as general passenger agent of the Fl Paso & Southwestern rail- road. with headquarters in Fl Paso, is not given to word painting or flights of imagination.

 Why I never imagined that any city could possibly show the growth and real progress that has taken place in Phoenix in a little more than a year.
