New Sesating Plan Anather feature of this seasons program is the new seating p lan which will permanently reserve * seats for ail sponsors and their fam- ilies.

It is probably the aldest of its character in the country - cantin- lack of apportunities a t New Trier High school for the students wha do not go ta. college. 1I should like ta have the ôppôrtunity afcammeniting9 brIefly..on.-thig point oa, view. It îs true that New Trier is. nat a trade schoolnor a technical schaal. Its primary aim is géneral education, andu its, purpose is ta give boys, and girls four years of apportunity that will be aof value. dur-ing those. four. years as well. as in aiter life, re-gardless af whether. they go ta college or hot., [ t is also a fact that a mi-ajor7ity of -aur students do go ta, college, -.roughly 70 per, cent,. and that :as. high as' 85- ta 90 per, cent register, with the signed statemnent of their parents' indicating their in- tention 'of gaing. ta callege." Prep- aration for college naturally be- cornes aone of the important cofisid- * Cites Opportunities Hawever, I wish ta point out the opportunities for the pupil who does not go'ta college. We have a com- merce department with eleven teachers, and the following subjects are affered: Vocational cîvics, gen- eral business, penrhanship, business correspondence, ecanomie geag- raphy, bookkeeping, business math- Iudustria.l Arts In inidustrial arts we have six teachers, -and offer fihe- follawing -courses, mechanical drawing, engin- eering drawing, -architectural draw- ing, elemrentary woodshop, wood turin- ing, auto shop, machineshop. In' home eco mo1 ics we have-*three and'a haîf teaiche s, and oifrthe followîng courses: foods,. clothing, home eca- nomic s for boys, interlor decoratian, and household management. In art we have -three teachers and. offer, the follawing courses:, four. years af applîed arts, free hand, drawing, stagecraft, and art appreciation. Some of the 'students in .the music department and in the physical. ed- ucation department use their train- ing in these departments ta. imme- diate vocational ends. Expensive Equdpmnt I at ieast t'wo of these 'delft-' ments, the industrial arts and home economice departrnents, the equip- ment is expensive, and the per pupil cost is much higher than in some ai the regular academic depart- ments. Fewer pupils can be taken care of in a class. I simply point aut these facts k> show that the nan-academnic. pupil, or the pupil who does not go on ta coflege, is, not overlooked but has November or Lose Elsewhere in this issueMichael J. Flynn,.
