WHY ABILENE SHOULD HAVE
NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Ii Is a Business Proposition for Our
People

AS a business proposition, the
building of a new high school should
appeal to a large majority of the
people. According to an estimate
made by the school board, the total
amount invested in school property
is $65,O00.0O This is equivalent to
a little more than one per cent OF
the assessed valuation OF Abilene
and attached territory. From this
statement it will be seen that the
school investment of Abilene has
not kept pace with the growth in
wealth and population. A city with
the standing of Abilene, situated in
the center of populous and rich
country, will naturally draw stu
dents from all sections of the coun-
ty. First, however, we must have
a building suitable to the needs OF
the hour. We cannot expect TO
draw students fro mother localities
If we offer them an insufficient
eouipment, cramped building and
no modern appliances. The present
Abilene high school has splendid
renutation because of the range of
courses it offers the character OF
the work accomplished, its able rae
ulty and the fine school spirit which
it has developed.
A striking proof Of this is the
fact that last year, fifty-two coun-
try students, over one-sixth of the
total enrolment, chose Abilene IN
spite Of the fact that they have TO
nav tuition. This is fifteen more
than attended in 1914. When the
rolls are completed for the present
wear. il will shown an even greater
increase than any preceding year.
Eight or ten years ago the yearly
loss from a class averaged about
thirty per cent. Now it rarely aver
ages over ten per cent. The princi-
nal reason for this remarkable Show
ing is that, with the additlonal
1t has so broadened It's
scope of usefulness as to make
strong appeal to a greater number
of students, especially among the
boys. One of the very biggest assets
Of our school is the splendid faculty
AMI of the teachers are college
graduates, specialists in their own
and the best we have
ever had.
Il will be seen from the foregoing
that Abilene has the set
ting and all the requirements that
70 to make up high grade school,
with one important exception
proper building. If Abilene should
be Indifferent and permit the pres
ent election to go adversely, we are
in danger OF losing what we have
already gained. In case the bond
issue should not carry, 1t is more
than likely that the school board
would have to retrench drop out
some courses, or else refuse to ad-
nit the country students. Either
course would injure our prestige
seriously. Enthusiasm will not bel
kept up if we go backward instead
of forward. In case the bond issue
fails, country students will have TO
go elsewhere. Our high school has
been made so attractive that many
more boys and girls are knocking at
our doors for admission the present
wear than ever before. Are the peo-

WASHINGTON. March Is. - While
there were indications in official dis
patches from Mexico that the dc
facto government was making a SUI
preme effort to capture villa and his
bandits with its own forces. there
was no sign that General Funston's
orders to proceed on the same crrand
had been modified i'm any way.
Word that American troops had
crossed the border was still lacking.
the War Department itself not hav-
ing been advised as to when the
movement would begin.
Congress took active notice OF the
border situation yesterday for the
first time. The House passed a joint
resolution late in the day authoriz-
ing the recruiting Of the mobile regu-
lar army to full strength. This means
The addition OF approximately 10000
fighting men to the infantry. cavalry
and field artillery. The Senate is eN-
pected to concur today and the ne
cessary orders will be issued imme-
diately to fiji up regiments on border
duty.
The step was suggested by the Army
General Staff. 1t was urgently desired
now because of the weakening of The
b6rder force by the expedition aitol
Villa. but ever since the patrol ot The
border began the army has been greatly
handicapped by the skeleton organiza'
tion Of regiments companies, troops and
batteries. The force that occupied
Vera Cruz had similar difficulties. som'
of the companies there being less thar
