E. Clerk for the reorganization of the system of marking at New Trier high school. at the meeting of the entire Parent-Teacher association held Wednesday night.

Before the entire association met to hear Superintendent Clerk, the parent s attended the classes ordinarily in the curricula of their children. The teachers informed the parents of the value of the s tudies taught by them and s howed how they effected those 'i t udents who continue their studies in institutions of higher learning and in I e husiness world. These class ses~·o n s were inforrnal and were each of 20 minutes duration. At the close of the class periods an ad\·isory session was held at which the advisors told the parents of the problems which the students are confronted with in their preparation of studie s and in their career outside of school. Parents and advisors also discussed some of the topics presented 'w the pupils at the request of their instructors.
