4 OF course the public schools
are Of first importance with their
enrolment of 1884 pupils and
high school students. The high
school has $50 students from
which there will be ninety grad
yates this year, every graduate
ready to enter the freshman
class of any college or university
in the United States. For better
housing of the city schools the
erection of three buildings to
cost $425,000 will begin within a
few days, and 100000 worth of
additional buildings will have to
be erected as soon as the neces-
sary bonds can be authorized
and sold.
The school buildings of Albu-
querque represent a cash outlay
of more than 100000. To this
sum the city will add s425,000 this
year. Not less than 100000 will
be added by the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools during 1922.
1t is doubtful If any other city
has public schools with such
high average Of efficiency in
their teaching force as have the
public schools of Albuquerque.
* The United States Bureau of Edu-
4 cation has pointed to Albuquer-
ques educational system as
model which might be copied by
other city schools with advantage.
The University of New Mexico,
headed by DR.. David Spence Hill.
who came here from the chair of
psychology in the University Of
Illinois, after holding the same
chair in the University of Wis
consin, has in its faculty men
and women from the great uni
versities of the east and the west.
OF course the state university
is the natural head of the educa-
tional system of New Mexico. Its
organization now comprises the
College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences, the College of Engineer
ing, and the Graduate college.
President Hill has brought New
Mexico's standard fully up to the
requirement of the United States
Bureau of Education for an ac-
credited college faculty: that is,
that the faculty of a firstc class
college must be comprised of
qualified members at least one
half of whom have the earned
degree Of doctor of philosophy
and three-fourths Of whom must
have obtained the earned degree
of master of arts.
The university has been ad
mitted recently to membership in
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Universities, which
4, functions for all the first-class
Y colleges of the Mississippi valley
and the Rocky Mountain states.
!, This means that the educational
standards of the University of
New Mexico are as high as the
standards of the universities of
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Nebraska
The university requires for en-
trance fifteen high school units.
No preparatory or secondary
students are admitted, and while
the attendance is small, compared
with the great universities of the
older states, from year to year
the number of college students
at the university is increasing,
and within a short time a larger
hall will be required for the as
sembly hour.
