SECOND SCHOOL SEMESTER TO OPENJAN. 28 Officials Work to Avoid Confusion in Promotion of Pupils. With the change of hundreds of pupils from the 8A grade to the first year of high school, Charles F. Miller, city superintendent of schools, has stressed the importance of eliminating the “break” between the grades and high school. For this reason, graduating exercises should be simple, brief, and as formal as possible. They should reflect the regular work of the school, but need not provide a place on the program for every member of the class. They should entail no expense to the pupil,” Miller said. Teachers are conferring with principals with reference to promotion of students to high school. Special investigations are being made in doubtful cases. Pupils usually can take four credits from the grades to high school, one each in English algebra, Latin and civics. All credits depend in part on the pupil’s rating in ability and is the consensus of departmental teachers and principal. The second semester begins Jan. 28, and changes in grades will be made Jan. 25, when children will remain in school until noon. Sale of books will start either of the two days. Grade students entering high school will report at the building of their selection at 1:30 p. m. Jan. 28. It will be unnecessary for these pupils to have transfer and promotion cards. Preparations are being made to care for mid-year freshmen at high schools. Organizations of upper classmen will take the freshmen in charge and show them to their classes. Special instructions will be issued as to books and other school supplies. BOARD 0. K. ON CHANGES IN TEACHING STAFF Resignations Accepted; Leaves of Absence Granted. Several changes and additions to the teaching staff of the public schools was made at the meeting this week of the board of school commissioners on the recommendation of Charles F. Miller, city superintendent. The resignations of Fannie B. Baker and Mildred Jaquith were accepted. The following teachers were given leaves of absence to June: R. V. Raquet, Eleanor Koopman and Evelyn Koopman. Ethel Hargrave, Julia Mellish and Beth Scott returned from leaves of absence. The following appointments ■ were made: Laura Wills, elementary schools; Mary Kinnick, Technical high school; Halcyon Mendenhall, Technical high school; Glen S. Bailey, Technical high school; Mabel Relander, Technical high school; Lorene Wingerd, Technical high school; Dora Ann Hodge, Crispus Attucks high school and Karl Beidenmeister, Technical evening school.
