INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
 IS IN NEW DANGER

PHOENIX. March I7.-Whittling boards may be placed al 10-foot In- teryals throughout the two new struc. lures which the state is building for the industrial school at Fort Grant, according to plans now under consi- iteration by Andrew Baumert, jr, se- cretary of the state board of ins:i- tutions.
 Secretary Baumert says he is great concerned about the safety of those structures, and the buildings will stand the state about $65.OOO when completed next May. as they have hardwood floors and nifty walls and other meritorious points of ex- cellence which may not be apprecia.- ed by the kids. many of those former homes were in adobe hourses or othe- kinds of shacks.
 At present the states kids are quartered in comfortable. but not beautiful buildings on the Ft Grant grounds, where esthetic surrounding; do not prevail. The new buildings, ii is claimed. will irculcate in the boys a taste for higher things unless the powers of the kids should prove su- perior to the powers of the surround ings.
 To foresta!l possible mural mutila- tions, the vhittling-b board program is proposed, 1t being believed that soft pine placques of low cost will prove far more enticing than the harder woods of the basic structures The secretary thought deeply upon the suggestion for whittling boards. yes terday. and evinced every inclination of committing himself favorablv thereon at an early date.
