M. Slaton. Plans for the erection of & 160,000 building to be devoted exclusively to the technological department of the Boye* High School, are being consld ered by Professor William M. Slaton, superintendent of the Atlanta public schools. For a long time Professor Slaton has recognised the necessity of a separate building for the technological depart ment of the school, and hs recently presented the matter to the board of education. After hearing Professor Slaton's statement, the board concurred with him In hi* views and passed a resolution requesting the euperlntend- ent to bring the matter to the atten tion of tho public. No definite action has yet been taken In the matter, hut It Is probable that preliminary steps toward raising funds nscessary for tho purposo will be taken at an early date.
