We have not mentioned Mr.. Goggin
In the above list because he has been
with us for the past week already, ar
irving in camp from his farm near
Albuquerque, N. M, bronzed by
agricultural toll in New Mexico and
looking fit for the work of putting the
Morenci schools through a most sue
cessful year, with the same careful
peinstaking manner which has mark
ed his efforts since he first took up
his task some years aEoa
The Board of Trustees have also
been active in the interest Of the
Morenci school children durirg the
summer months and the vigor with
which the new Manual Training
school building, now under way near
the present Mexican building, shows
the earnest zeal with which the
Board is working toward making the
schools of District No. 1S the very
best to be had anywhere in the
country. -
This new school building will take
caro- of the Domestic Science" IND
Manual Training departments which.
are at present occupying the High
School building, which quarters have
been inadequate for their use for
some time past.
The plans of the structure as shown
to a representative of the Era give
promise of fine addition to our pub
lie school system in Morenci. The
building is to be Of two stories with
the second story on a level with the
present play ground and will be
about 70x35 feet. The lower floor
will be designed to take care of the
Manual Training instruction and will
be in the form of one large room
where all the equipment may be
placed and easy access be had to
every facility to further this valu-
able i'm truction. The second floor
will t. le care of the girls who take
Domestic Science instruction and will
be divided into two large rooms, one
of which will be given up to instruc-
ton in the culinary art and the
other to the valuable science of learn
ing how to either make wrapper or
a silk dress for an evening party.
At the present time, most of the
material for the building is on the
ground and at the present rate of
progress, the building will be ready
for use very early in the present
school term.
The Board of Trustees of the dis
trict have prices on new equipment
for both departments and everything
points to a broadening of the field of
work for both the girls and boys. For
the boys, it is quite probable that the
scope of the course in Manual Train
1ng will be broadened to include in
strIction in tinsmithing, blacksmith
work, both practical and ornamental
and other shop metal work, as the
Board have contemplated the erec-
ton of a blacksmith shop where
instr ction of this sort could be
