first two years Of college academic
work. was proposed TO the school
board Tuesday night by city school
superintendent a h Hughey.
The proposition. was made after the
sunerinssedent reported that the IL
Teaso high school has the largest NUM-
Der Of approved college entrance units
Of all high schools in the state. Lass
year the IL Fzso and Austin high
schools were tied for this honor, with
51H approved entrance units each.

units allowed each school is not
known Austin anu Fl Pas0 were far
above any other high school in the
state Ia regard 10 scholarship attain
ments in the 191S-1919 school year.
With such q high standard Of
scholarship IN the Fl Faso high

hien school building at an additional
cost Of only $4,000 a year. With

Great Benefit Seen.
This would be OF great benefit and
a most worthy work It would be
the only college OF its kind IN the
state OF Texas. IN California the
plan Of a junior college in the high
school has been tried out and has been
found to work with great success. OF
course we would not want the junior
college to conflict with the College
Of the City Of FL Paso at the state
school o. mines. but I do not believe
that It would dc 50 10 any extent
The ideal situation would be TO
havs only the college and regular

Alr. HuEhey -This could be accom-
plished. but ofeourse it would take I
some tine 10 make all necessary plans I
and preparations
With the present high standard Of 1
scholarship at the high school. it /
would be necessary TO employ only
