ing from Monroe street he is con- fronted by q ma gnficent, tWO-story, pressed brick structure a block in length and standing on six and one half acres of beautiful ground. At the front entrance are six great massive pillars of imitation stone, twelve feet in circumference and towering thirty feet into the air sur mounted by artistic. composite capi- tals These pilasters are fair eX- ample of the superiority of the struc- ture of the building for nearly all pillars as used on school buildings are merely plastered shells while these are solid concrete weighing better than twenty tons apiece After the forms were set in place a man worked twenty consecutive hours on the inside moulding each pillar as it was necessary after the first troWel of cement was laid to complete the pillars ere ceasing work The walls are of the same superiority for not only are they thick and well laid but to avoid any stains that might come from the alkali in the common brick there is a layer of waterproof paper inside the pressed brick. And so throughout one finds the same extra good material used and the same painstalling care exercised that noth- ing but the very best might result. Some one wisely said that the build ing would still be standing in perfect condition after the other buildings erected at the same time were in the junk pile.

REST pnOM

Across from the office is a new departure in school house arrange ment. It consists of two large rooms, well furnished with rugs, rockers, reading tables, and couches, so that the teacher when not employed or the pupil when feeling ill may rest and refresh themselves. Directly off of these rooms is small kitchen completely furnished with cupboards, dishes, gas plate, sink, etc. Here the teacher may easily prepare light noon lunch as dainty and hot as though she were at home. There is also a wash room and a toilet room adjacent. This was built and equipped on the theory that the phys ical needs of the teacher are worth looking after if she is always to work at her highest rate of efficiency and give to the children in her charge the very best that she is cap able of giving or doing.

Dream of Ages of the Educational World is Realized in Massive Structure Thrown Open to Pupils Ten Days Ago.

Phoenix has the ideal grade school building. FhoenlX has the best equipped, most modern and perhaps fine largest grade school building, The last word in school building and school
 ts equipment was said when the Monroe school opened for use a the hcgin- n.ng of the fan term of the Phoenix public schools was declared completed and accepted by the trustees of school district No l.
 Hundreds or surprised and p,eased citizens of Phoenix concur in these statements, fog on the Friday afternoon and evening preceding the opening of the fail term, the big structure was thrown open to the public. The affair took on much the nature of a social junction Hundreds of people afoot. in carriages and in automobiles visited the building that day were introduced To Superintendent John D. Loper made the acquaintance of the teachers and were escorted from the basement to the upper floor of the great structure

SELECTING AN ARCHI-
 TECT

| As soon as it was settled that a new building was to be erected the lschool trustees and Mr. Loper began to look around for q school architect. They went to sec buildings in all parts of Arizona and California as Ithey were determined to select some one who had demonstrated that he lcOuld design a perfect school building and not some one who thought or said he could. After weeks of inVes- tigating they selected Norman F.
 Marsh of Los Angeles, who is re- cognized through all the western states as an authority on school building. They found that not only had he built ideal school buildings but that other architects from Mon tana, Colorado and Arizona were sending their plans to him for cri- ticism. How wisely they chose is best illustrated by noticing the mum
 Der that have copied after his plan
 for the Monroe school The floor plans were drawn by Mir. Loper and his assistants and then sent to MT. Marsh to design the building wanted. The plans were drawn, corrected and criticised four times before being pronounced what was desired on August 13, 1913. a contract was let
 to o. l.. Tuell for the erection of the building for two thousand dollars less than the estimate The building was to be completed by August l, 1914. Work was commenced at once and from the beginning everything moved.
 There was never a time from be- ginning to end when the work was delayed for lack of material or labor
 trouble And as a result the best of material and workmanship went into the building and it was completed and accepted July 17, 1914. or two weeks ahead of contract time.

OFFICE

At the right as we enter the front doors is the principals office in which is a massive. self winding, four program, electric clock. This clock controls four separate sets of bells or signals thus insuring the ringing of all extactly on time. Here also is q switch board for the telephone system. which enables the principal to talk to any teacher in the building or which will enable any two teach CTS to communicate with each other. The value of the telephone within the building is well Illustrated by the fac, that it would take five min utes for any one to walk from the office to the most remote room.

AUDITORIUM

In the center of the building on the first floor. where there is no danger of fire, is a large auditorium or study hall. This was planned so that the seventh and eighth grades can be handled on the basis of an in termediate high school or what is better known as the departmental plan. In this system there is one teacher for each subject and the pupils change from room to room every thirty minutes. The pupils when not reciting are assembled in the auditorium where three or more teachers are always on hand to aid those who may need it. These teachers are not there to boss and control as is so often the case but are really to assist the child in pre-
 pairing his or her lessons. With three teachers and never more than one

number of representative taxpayers were present. The condition was briefly explained One man proposed that they raise one hundred thousand dollars, another that they ought to have one hundred and fifty thousand and the heaviest taxpayer in the lot said. make it two hundred thousand and we will all back it. Thus in side of thirty minutes the plan was laid for the best grammar school building in the United States. A bond election was called and one hundred and seyenty-tWo votes were cast with only fifty-four against the proposition and when one considers that q large share of the fifty four were not cast by those opposed to building, but by owners of real estate who wished to force the sale of Cen tral school ground, he gets some idea of the attitude of Phoenix toward education They did in a few days what it takes years of agitation to accomplish in the east. The bonds were sold at a premium. MT LOper showed his superiority as a school and business man by draWing all the papers including the abstract in such Ia manner that the bonding houses did not even ask ono question. Other districts over the state at the same time were paying attorneys from two to five per cent of the issue to have the papers drawn and then the bonds often not selling because errors were made This one move or moves on MT. Lopers part saved the district his whole years salary and a goodly sum beside

Instead it is a first class, carbon lighted, thoroughly efficient instru- ment In fact, it is the best that has yet been invented. A separate room is similarly equipped with the need ed material for each subject taught such as a high grade piano in the music room, the latest charts and apparatus for the physiology room and so on to the history room and all other branches taught. On the second floor are twelve class rooms for the lower grades. Every room in the building is supplied with wash stand and running water, SC parate towels for each child and liberal supply of liquid soap in sanitary container.

CORRIDORS

The next thing to attract the eye is the great fourteen foot corridor extending two hundred and eighty feet or the full length of the build
 ing enabling whoever is in charge of the building to see every pupil who enters or leaves This corridor is well lighted and ventilated and the floor, of solid concrete, is nearly noiseless. The value of the latter bers that eight hundred children have

CLASS ROOMS

On the first floor, one room is equipped for the teaching of geog- raphy with all the maps, globes, anl ther illustrative material that finds a place in such a room. He'e there is also an electric machine in which can be placed pictures from books, post cards, slides or microscopic specimens and the same be reflected on the screen in an enlarged form. This is no cheap, makeshift ma . chine like so many schools fool away
 their time with and get no results

Not one word was heard indicating a belief on the part of anyone that there was the slightest room for improve ment
 Today the Republican is privileged tn present a few views of the building, a structure that presents opportunities for a hundred such views without du- pHcation. These pictures, however will serve to give something of an idea of the real up-to-dateness of the Monroe school and the descriptive matter can rot fail to interest every citizen, wheth- CT taxpayer, the parent of a pupil, or neither

A Girls Rights at a Picnic

Dear Miss Libbey:
 am eighteen; been keeping steady company for over a month with young man He tells me he is twenty; tells my girl frieid he is twenty-three. He seems nice. The other week, at a. picnic, he asked my friend to write to him. She refused, saying he was go- ing with me and not her. He also told her he'd like to talk with her, but I was always hanging around and had no right to. She replied that had a perfect right to be around I treat her as I always did He also hugs and kisses me good night before he goes. Do you think this proper for him to do? He says he wishes to make me happy in every way, that I may love him the rest of my Iife4 Do you think he cares for me very much Please tell me what to do. think very much of this young man.

This winter homeIy noses look homeIier and pretty noses prettier than ever before. There is a reason for this and here it is. Picture hats are the rule and not the exception, and this means that one's pretty hair, white forehead and bright eyes are concealed from view by large droop- ing br1nas. As a consequence the 5 pre<zsiasszce, as you will we'll under stand, exaggerates any defect or charm that this feature Of the face may possess. You know the moral of this as well as Il do.

In 1878 there lived in Chicago, H. linois, a woman named Annie O'Leary who has since became known through out the country as the owner of the COW that set fire to Chicago. One ev- ening this COW while being milked. became unruly, and kicked over a ker- osene lamp. Soon the whole city of Chicago was in flames and Mrs. O'Jeary's COW probably rang her cow bell quite as frantfcally as did the Elm peror Nero eomplacentIy fiddle while his beautiful city was burning.
 Though Chicago was destroyed by one cf the most terrible fires in the world, the city was rebuilt in a year or two, even better than before. Prior to the fire, it was one of the newest cities in the country, for in 1880 there was only a few families there be- sides the. soldiers in the fort which Uncle Sam had built in 1904.

It is said that Nero, when he was Emperor of Rome, set fire to the city, and watched the flames from a high tower, while he sang to eyre verses on the burning of Troy. He then laid the blame on the Christians, whom he persecuted with great cruelty After wards he rebuilt the ruined portion of Rome with great magnif1cence, erecting a beautiful palace for himself on the PaItine hill, which was called Nero's golden house.
 This was all very long ago. for he killed himself with dagger in the 68th year when. after many cruel deeds. the Senate condemned him to death and sent soldiers to arrest him

Not to See Her Any More

Now he tells me he's not coming to see me any more nor take me out, as remarks are made about our ages. A friend of his told him look twenty years older than he. What do you think of him ? I do not think he is to be onsidered as a friend. M.
