SCHOOLS IF JEROME MIN COMMUNICATION
 HIGHEST AUTHORITY

J. =. Muerman. Of the department of education of Washington. D. C, rural school specialist for the west ern division. is the authority for the statement that the schools of Je- rome are the best in administration. organization and scholarship in his district
 At present there are two buplic schools and n high school and the recent increase in attendance has made it necessary to house the over flow in portable houses. This prac- tice will be eliminated withN the new school. which if carried out accord ing to the present plans. will contain fifteen class rooms, an auditorium gymnasium. and offices With the new building will come new course of study for as yet domestic science and manual training have not been featured extensively, although atten- ton has been paid to the vocational work. The teaching staff numbers tWenty-one regular teachers and three supervisors of art music and physical education. Six hundred and twenty one students are enrolled, and the average daily attendance Is five hum dred and fifty. These figures rather tell the story of the growth of Je- rome, for the past four years the corps of teachers has multiplied by four and in two years the number of boys and girls answering to the roll call has doubled. Eighty per cent of the pupils are Mexicans.

 The smelter was then situated over
 the mine and was incapable of en- ! largement. owing to Topographic limi-
 tations and surface subsistence After the Idea was conceived of an up to date plant for treating ore. a loca

The land was purchased by scrip for i railroad, smelter and townsite. Near by ranchers were brought for water rights and the vast undertaking. the | clarkdale plant. was underway
 The site was particularly fortunate in its natural facilities for construc- ton. Near the bed of the Verde river
 a gravel washing plant having a capacity or x cubic yards per hour was built lt supplied three sizes of gravel for the concrete work and a washed sand for use in mortar. plas- terins and for brick making. A bank of clay close by led to the establish
