HIGH SCHOOL At
SCOTTSDALE To Be
TOPIC At MEETING

SCOTTSDALE, Jan. 17.-Perhaps
the largest mass meeting ever held
in this district will be held Friday
night when the subject Of organizing
high school district comes up for
discussion. This district is badly in
need of a regular 4-year high school
and suitable equipment to operate ir
for the attendance in high school has
been steadily increasing so that al
present the rooms are very crowded
and there is no equipment for teach
ing any but the courses of the first
two years. Many people are especial
ly interested in building a building
with q suitable auditorium, where
public meetings and plays can be
held The present one is too small,
hot and is absolutely unsafe, for I'm
case of fire there are no facilities for
emptying the building quickly. Ev-
erybody interested in making Scotts-
dale a more prosperous district is
urged to attend the meeting.

tional things were learned about the
above subjects. The demonstration
given Friday by Prof. Crider Of the
University of Arizona on the new
method Of long pruning was well at
tended. Those that were unable TO

the orchard belonging to Rev. van
derhoof. Summing the first high
school short course it would be safe
to say that that type Of school is en-
