TO REORGANIZE SCHOOL SYSTEM state Board Os Education Adopts Plan For Changing H. S. System Members of pi«- «t*te board of education. in aeasion at Indianapolis, ten tutively adopted the plan for reorganization of the Indiana high school system. The board will appeal to the state assembly at its meeting next month to adopt new text books suitable for the reorganized courses. It is the plan to have the new system in operation at the opening of school next September. Under the reorganization the standard of sixteen units for graduation will be upheld with students compelled to take three years of English, three years of social science, and two years of mathematics. .No science such as chemistry, geography and botany, and no language such as Latin, English. French or Spanish will be required for graduation. These subjects will be continued as in the past and will be required for college entrance.//he courses will be left entirely to the choice of the student. Grammar and simple arithmetic will be stressed in the high schools under the reorganization and the cotfises of [study so arranged that if the student ! retires from school before completing the four-year course, he or sue will have the foundation foY further duration or training most needed in a work-la-day life. Outside of the change in the sigth compulsory units for graduation in 'the high school at the elective courses will be continued as in the past. 'Courses in commercial work, type writing. shorthand, bookkeeping and man ual training, domestic science, sewing and cooking will be offered. While the smaller high schools will not be equipped to give as varied a course as in the pas’, the students I from the smaller schools u: on completion of their four-y?ar course, will 'have the essentials without a lot of ; ‘'knick-knack’’ courses as have been i taught in the past. The larger the | school, under the new system, the wider the group of subjects the child will have to select from. This, however, is thought by the educators to meet with the complete satisfaction of principals in every city, for edu cational surveys conducted recently in the state show that the larger num her of delinquent students arise from the larger schools in the cities. Supt. L. C. Ward, of Ft. Wayne, member of the state board, said last night that while the new’ organization seemed somewhat lax compared with the present system it had been thoroughly investigated by prominent eduonce. "We have too many students dropping out of high school in this day and the time is at hand when we are going to have to care for these pupils or throw onto the public a lot of untrained children who are not able to meet the advanced problems which are confronting them." —o +++ + + + CONGRESS TODAY * HOUSE —Takes up treasury department appropriation bill. SENATE — Commerce committee continues meeting on ship subsidy, minor calendar bills considered.

A SAFEJEST. For those who are need of a rem» iy for kidney troubles and backache, it is a good plan to try Doan's Kidney Pilis. They are strongly recommended by Decatur people. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. E. A. Mann, 1003 W. Monroe St., Decatur, says: “J know the \alue of Doan's Kidney Pills and am glad to recommend them to anyone having kidney complaint. I used them when my kidneys were out o! order and I had severe backaches that made it harder for me to do my work. I often had nervous head - aches and my kidneys acted irregn iariy. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills from the Halthouse Drug Co., and they proved to be just what I needed. Doan's were not long in giving | me relief from the backache and kidney complaint.” • Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Mann had. Foster-Milburn Co., : Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
