students, in enlightening the people
of El Paso as to the crowded, cramped
rendition under which the High school
n ork is being carried on, and the need
of a larger and better equipped build

facts that the need of the High school

i-tu dents in the school than can be ac-
emmodated; the building is not fire
proof, the laboratory equipment is in

school building for the manual train
ing work or the domestic science work
for the girls; the pupils of both classes
having to go for their work to the
Bailey school five blocks away. The
commercial department of the High
school is already overcrowded to such
