URGE BRECKENRIDGE
PUPILS TO SELECT
! LIFE WORK EARLY
Vocation Week" Being
Observed to Help Them
to Decide.

To encourage pupils to think about
their life's vocation and to choose
the line of work they intend TO fol-
low as soon as possible, vocation
week" is being observed at Brack-
cnridge High School with the main
events, of the week to take place al
assembly at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday
morning and at the open house TO be
held at 80 o'clock Thursday even
ing.
Harry Hertzberg. an attorney, will
speak Wednesday morning upon the
Importance of making an early choice
of vocation. Galen Jones, director Of
related arts in the public school sys-
ten. and Walter ID. Cooking. director
of junior education. will also speak.
The latter will discuss vocational
guidance.
An open house will be held at 80
o'clock Thursday evening; with all de-
rartments of the high school running
in order that patrons and others in
terested in the schools may have an
opportunity OF seeing how high school
pupils are being. prepared for their
life's work.
During the week teachers are dis
cussing the importance of choosing
ones life work as early as possible
and are leading the discussions OF
various vocations in the individual
class rooms,
Within the last year the subject
of vocational guidance has been em-
phasized more than it has ever been
in the San Antonio public school
sy stem. This has been largely due. il
is believed, to the adoption of the
junior high school idea which is based
upon the theory that pupils should
not be adapted to a course of study
but that courses of study should be
adapted to the pupils.
The very nature of the revised AM
modified course of study in the PUB
lie school system of San Antonio, Mr.
Cooking said, makes possible wide lati
tude in choice of subjects. This lati
tude. in turn. Mr. Cooking said
makes ut imperative that the pup;
be given sane counsel and advice in
selecting his course of study and that
the pupil himself should have his
hfe's work as his objective while ne
is selecting the line of his school.

WILL WIDEN MARKET
Mayor Goes Ahead With Plans foi
Improvement.

Plans for widening Market street,
at least a part of the way, under the
front foot assessment plan. are ac-
lively under way, it was learned at
the City Hall Tuesday morning. May
or John W. Tobin has conferred with
several committees on the subject and
now has a man making canvass OF
the property owners with view TO
bringing about a settlement which will
permit of the widening of the street
from Main plaza to ST. Mary's street.
Money for the widening of Market
street its entire length was included
in the December bond issue. As this
money is now tied up in the courts,
Mayor Tobin has sought.to find a way
out Of the difficulty. He believes il
sufficient interest can be aroused in
the proposition. the city can go ahead
with what funds it has on hand and
what can be raised by assessments.
Market street, damaged severely by
the flood. is badly in need of paving,
but the city does not desire TO do this
work until the street can be widened.

REPEAL ORDINANCE
TO PUT AUDITORIUM
ON MADISON SQUARE
Commissioners Lay Plans
to Start Work I'm
mediately..

Preliminary action for starting
actual work on San AntoRio's NUM-
cipal auditorium was taken Monday
afternoon when the city commission
adopted an ordinance introduced by
Commissioner Of Parks Ray Lambert,
fepealing an ordinance which had des-
ignated Madison Square as the site
for the structure. The present admins
istration is known to favor the Ro-
mana street site.
Designation of the Madison Square
site was only made after a bitter
fight by Commissioners Lambert/and
Wright during the Black administra-
ton. The city had already acquired
the Romano street site, but when
Black decided TO build the auditorium
he set about to find another site. Flu
ally he choose Madison Square and
by three to two vote had aR ordin-
ance adopted designating that park
as the site for the auditorium.
The fight did not end here how
ever. as a suit for injunction was
filed against the city 10 prevent the
building of the auditorium on Madi-
son SQUARE. I've square had been
dedicated as park and should the
city use ii as site for the auditor
ium. 1t was claimed. the property
would revert to the donors. Nothing
Ger came of the injunction as the
bond issue called for by Black 70
augment the auditorium fund failed
and the matter was dropped.
The mayor and commissioners. at q
conference last Friday. decided TO be
gin work on the auditorium as sooi
as possible. regardless of whether thu
money voted for that purpose on De
ccmber 4, is available or not. The
money is now tied up in court
fight. With the elimination of the
Madison Square controversy it is now
definitely determined that the audi
torium will be built en- Romano
street.
The next step now is TO select an
architect to plan and supervise the
construction of the new building. 1t
is understood that several San An
tonic architects are now drawing
sketches which will be brought to the
attention of the mayor and commits
sioners. One architect submitted ten
tative plans under the Black admin
istration and these also will be CON
sidered.
Mayor Tobin hopes to rush the pre-
liminary work as much as possible
and to start actual work on the au-
ditorium within three or four months.
He has some S4G5,000 available for
the work and unless the bond money
becomes available when needed the
mayor believes that separate bond
issue TO provide these funds could be
secured without any trouble.
