SCHOOL SYSTEM CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE system of mid-year promotions were continued. In the majority of cases the pupils who would be in the second semester or “A” section of the grade schools this fall will be moved into the next grade. In a few cases the pupils will be moved back a half grade. Special work will be given the punils who will be advanced in 1 order that they may take three ' semesters work in two. > Mr. Krick requested today that I no parents buy books for children j who would have entered the “A” | grade this fall until after the first I day of school when the pupils will be told their needs. About 29 pupils who completed I j the first Bcmester of the eighth

grade at Central last fall will skip the second semester and go directly to the Decatur high school. The pupils who entered high school after the holidays last fall were given four elective subjects. They will begin taking required subjects this fall. With the transfers from township schools, W. Guy Brown, principal of the Decatur high school, expects the largest freshman class in the history of the school. It | will probably have about 140 memLera. The total enrollment of the high school this year is expeted to be between 325 and 330. • ——o — , In a Nutshell There are three ways of getting nut of a scrape—push ont, back 011; and keep out. 0 John Dandrun of near Monroe was a business visitor here this morning.
