The meeting is to be attended by. the members of committees appointed from the Ensley Associated Merchants, the Ensley Kiwanis club, the Ensley Real Estate board, and civic organiza- tions of the various committees adjacent to Ensley. The purpose of the meeting will be to secure subscriptions to the S25,000 community gift for the Howard high school
 At a meeting of the Howard trustees held during the past week authority was of the school in Ensley. The school will therefore be founded here However, the communities west of Birmingham, to Fairfield, have indicated that a gift of $25,000 would be made if the school was placed in Ensley and it is to make good that implied obligation that the meet ing has been called for Wednesday.
 The officials of Howard college have been given the property of the Ensley Baptist church. The value of that prop erty, together with the gift from the community of $25, ,OOO, provides a total subscription from Ensley greater than offered by any other community, hence the location of the school here. The committee in charge of the mass meet ing Wednesday is headed by James Du- puy, who will preside. He said, in speak ing of the Howard high school, that En- sley was noted for it's industry and business and it was now given an op- portunity of adding to its repute as a community of educational advantages which are getting better every year. He also said that the school will involve the expenditure of $150,000, that it was to, provide domotories for the boys, to begin with, and later co-eds would be taken.
 The school will convert the Baptist church into the first school unit and will remodel the two residences that go with the property and use them for school work. Later an additional build ing will be erected and these will be added to from time to time and as the means warrant.
