BOYS Of TECH SCHOOL
PLAN FOR GYMNASIUM
Committee to Be Chosen to Conduct
Campaign on Systematized
Basis.

Plans for concerted action to obtain
a gymnasium for their own use are
being made by students of the McKin-
ley Manual Training School. 1t is
probable that committee will be
chosen this week to systematic work.
Although one of the largest high
schools of the city, and having a very
large percentage of boys. Tech is with
out a place for pupils to develop
themselves physically
The boys who are planning to get to-
gether and pull for a gym" say that
this is a great handicap. as they have
to "makeshift' in order to practice
basket ball. track and other indoor
sports. They claim that it is only fair
to the school and to them that they
should be given an opportunity to de-
velop physically as well as mentally.
Quarters Rented Outside.
At present the athletically inclined
boys and their friends at the school
have had to contribute small sums for
the rental OF outside quarters. This
means extra time to go to and from the
gyms where they practice. as well as
having to limit themselves to certain
hours on certain days. and to the con-
venience of other persons using the
places.
The plan of action as now outlined
is to urge upon the citizens associa-
cations in the District and other civic
bodies here to request the Commits
sioners to insert an item for a gymna-
sium in the next appropriation bill.
It is possible that some of the boys
may appear in person before the civic
bodies and make personal pleas in
behalf of the project.
Matter Of Surprise.
It Is said that a number Of per-
sons who have been approached SO far
and asked to give their moral support in
the action which the boys plan to take
have been greatly surprised to learn that
80 new building as Tech, and consider
ed such a model one at the time of its
construction, should have no gymnasium.

Sound Argument.

The advertising manager o,
one of the biggest mail-ordeI
houses in the country, in a talk
before members of an advertis
ing club recently gave some in.
teresting information on how
they secured much of their busi.
ness. He said:
I'VE have a bureau whose
duty it is to read each week the
country newspapers from all
over the country. There is not
a paper of any cor sequence in
our trade territory that our bu-
reau does not get. This bureau
looks over these papers and when
we find a town where the mer-
chants are not advertising in the
local paper, we Immediately flood
that territory with our literature
1t always brings results far in
excess of the same effort put
forth in territory where local
merchants use their local paper"
Local merchants can kill much
OF the business of these foreign
competitors by advertising regu.
larly in their local papers.

Moose With Democrats

That the Progressive party OF
New Mexico willn support the
Republican state ticket this year
is now a certainty. The Pro.
gressives realize that the
strangle hold of the old Repub.
lican gang is as secure as ever,
and that the ticket named at
Santa Fe in August will demon
strate i. absolutely. Individual.
ly and collectively they realize
that the only hope of decent and
efficient government in New
Mexico during the next two
years is in the election of the
Democratic ticket in November.
A meeting of the Progressive
state central committee, for the
purpose of calling a Progressive
state convention, has been called
and it now seems probable that
the Progressive convention will
be coincident with the Demo.
cratic state convention, opening
in Santa Fe August 80.
