 SCHOOL BEGUN
First Public High School in United States-COr.
 nerstOne Laid Today

Ansonla, Conn, Aug. 4--(UP)-- The cornerstone of the first public high school in the United States to be built on modern architectural lines, was laid here today by Mayor Peterm Hart.
 The institution, designed by Wil- liam Legcaze, nationally known architect, will be constructed with public works administration funds. It will be of steel frame construc- ton, faced with brick and limestone. Following the modern rule that form follows styie," Lascaze planned the three-story building SO that there would be Q clear definition between auditorium, classroom and gymnasium areas.
 Classroom Section
 The classroom section, Q long nar- row wing, will be arranged to catch the east-west light and labora tories will be located SO as to receive the north light, best suited for that pur- pose.
 "BuIidings," said Lescaze today, should grow out of the life of our time; meet the requirements of our time. We must decide first what qualities modern education should develop. If they are to be truthful ness, courage, freedom, adaptability, intelligence, then we have au- tomatically decided that what we require is the thinking, planning, functional method of building. We have decided for good, modern architecture"

The crowd of $4,000 went wild

COURTORDERS
PAYM N ENT OF
BACK SALARY

Judge r. D. McPherrin Friday
granted writ of mandate ordering
certain Imperial Irrigation district
officials to- pay George Whitlock
$1,51875 in back salary for his serv-
ices as deputy collector or to appear
in court October 2, to show cause
why they had not paid and why a
peremptory writ OF mandate should
not be issued.
The writ was granted by Judge
McPherrin after Whitlock filed a
petition. Whitlock explained his
position in the salary battle which
has continued for months between
Whitlock and the district board of
directors. l.. w. Allen and r. B.
BriSsenden of the Imperial office,
and M. j. Dowd, general superinten
dent, and r. H. Maddux, business
manager, and F. H. McIver, treas
urer, were named defendants.
Certain district directors sought
to have Whitlock discharged be-
cause they declared he played pol
itics against them while supposed
to be working in the office of Miss
Winnie Barry, assessor collector. Miss
Barry did not discharge Whitlock
at the request of the board but a
majority of the board decided that
he should not be paid
