Progress will be on indgvidual‘ basis, instead of by classes as a whole, and lesson sheets will be provided for each student, who may go abead as rapidly as he masâ€" ters each problem, without waiting for the slowerâ€"ones to catch up. ./ Five teachers will be employed in this line of work, two men capable of giving .. jnstruction | in | automobile mechanics,â€" electricity and carpentry, one woman capable of teaching dress making and millinery, and in addiâ€" tion two other terchers, one. to teach mathema'Ii)gs and gcience as these subâ€" jects are applied to the industries, and one teacher in civics and English. The gov ent must approve the apâ€" pointments and will pay half the salâ€" aries of four of these teachers. It is pointed out that in the} past education| in high school has been largely dévoted to instruction in acaâ€" demid subjects in preparation for colâ€" lege andâ€" for commercial pursuits. Work in the domestic gcience and manual training departments hitherâ€" to has k%een largely ‘along general lines. . It is now the plan of the board to provide students interested in these lines to :Leci_alize_in these studies to perfect their knowledge and practical experjience therein, so as to be fitted for practical work in these occupaâ€" tidns in after years. The plan tends tovbro'adx the seope of high school education to provide for all the chilâ€" dren of a’l the people.| Academic Courses ‘At the same time, Supt. Sanwick explains that the academic. subjects will not be: neglected, work in these lines being. maintained at the usual high standard for which Deerfleldâ€" Shields has always been noted." Other fiadwrswere reâ€"appointed on the fat with few changes conâ€" templnttfi except that two or three plan to resign, although it is hoped that they‘ may reconsider; Definite inâ€" formation in this regard will be obâ€" tained lnfier. However, the faculty for next |year wfil be practically as now, ‘except that there will be added new teacl}ers in accordance with the adoption f’l the new federal extensjon plan. â€" / t3 This new departure takes advanâ€" tage of the provqgoions of the Smithâ€" Hughes‘law passed some time ago by congress,) whereby the federal© govâ€" ernment @ssists in the payment of teachers 'fmployed in vocational deâ€" partments when . said te%chers are competent craftsmen or mechanics capable of te&ching their respective trades. | ; id Supt.

These two bridges are still there. I do not know how much older they are than fortyâ€"one years, but I do ‘mow that while they are still picturesque they are‘ no longer> excellent,. Since the Moraine‘ hotel was opened in 1900 these two old‘\lltr'uctm'b: have been overhauled and patched: up at least once in every three years, while in every year since that time minor reâ€" pairs have been made, These bridges today are no credit to our city.
