"With, the close of the srraduating fx-
ercises Thursday nisht, Juno 10, the Echool year ends for the Hammond schools. The year ending Is the first ander a new school management. With the election c Thomas R. Tennant as a member of the board of education, the
governing body of the schools has
"AJready the board of education has bestin tho solution of these problems, and plans and cpecillcaUons have been approved for tho new Maywood and Uincoln schools. The other problems will, doubtless, receive like consideration, and with he support and co-opera.
tion of the city there will be developed I feel quite sure, a school system here in keeping with the enterprise and progress characteristic of this splendid region. "i-'or the higrh school there are In formation plans for the reconstruction of the cour.ses of study and expansion of tha curriculum. To provide for a better adjustment of the studies of the first ear in the high school to meet the conditions created by the elimination of the eighth grade, some changes will be made, and an additional year will be provided by offering to pupils who complete the four years at present required, post graduate courses which may be credited at college, two hours for one. if rroperly selected and accomplished in accordance with the college requirements. This will practically establish the first year of a junior college course, find will, doubtless, prove advantageous to students desiring an additional year's work, even if they do not subsequently enter college. "Another plan in formation is the extension of the vocational courses, especially those intended for boys and girls who are employed on what are called "Work Permits." The part-time schools established this year have been very successful and 303 pupils have been enrolled and are greatly benefited by the work accomplished. If the plans now developing can be fully realized, they will finally result in the establishment of a completely organized vocational school offering practical trade courses In the various lines, such as printing, wood and metal work, automobile repairing, forge, cabinet making, etc. The opportunities offered the youth of this region in tho many manufacturing industries we have here make it im', rerative that a school of this nature should be established in Hammond. It Is the desire and the intention of the school authorities to meet as fully as possiblye all tha requirements of a modern school ssytem in giving to the school children of Hammond all the advantages possible that will fit them for the most efficient hie as American citizens."

changed completely in its personnel The new superintendent, Edwin S. Monroe, has taken hold of the various and multidudinous duties of his office in a way that assures a vigorous and successful administration. The new principal, A. L. Spohn, has conducted his DfT.ce in a most satisfactory manner. IVith the new school board and the new
superintendent ia charge the schools I ,
for the ensuing ycar3 will doubtless keep pace with the developments in modern education. The people of Hammond expect frora their schools the very best that can be secured. To make it possible to secure the best they will doubtless respond to whatever the Echool authorities as now constituted may determine as necessary in furthering building and equipment progress
and in securing and maintaining a com- j
petent and satisfactory corps of teach1, rs. The following is an outline of a program of development offered to the citizens of Hammond by Superintendent Monroe. It is taken from the last number of the "Femulac," a school paper, which was issued monthly by the hif school during the past year. The program is so comprehensive and seemingly so necessary to the city's welfare, that it is reprinted here for a wider circulation, and for the information of the public as to what the present school authorities will exert their energies to accomplish: "The people of Hammond have serious school problems confronting them.
Briefly summarized they are as follows: ; "1. The construction of a building ' large enough to provide for at least j S 700 grade pupils in the May wood dis- j tcict. j E "J. Tha erection of an adequate; E building to take the place of the Lin i E ocin school recently destroyed by fire. ! E "3. The completion of the Industrial 1 S high school in accordance with the or- : iginal plans and adquately providing an j
auditorium, boys' gymnasium, cafeteria, j shops and class rooms for at least 1,200 j E
rupils.
"i. The payment of a school debt of
over two hundred thousand dollars
"5. The installation of modern sanl- '
tary appliances ia all but two of the , ward schools. J "6. The beautifying of the grounds
of all the school sites, which now are s in an unsatisfactory condition and not ' E
at all comparable with the pleasant sur- i E
roundings of the school buildings of our j
neighboring cities, thus bringing our 1 echool plant into unfavorable contrast. The provision of adequate school facilities for rapidly growing districts of the city, especially in the southern rart of Hammond where there are large numbers of school children now having I long distances to walk to the nearest J
schools, which, at this time, are uncomfortably crowded.
"Along with these problems relating
to the so-called "external" school conditions, there must be maintained at all times in the instruction department aj corps of competent and well trained teachers who must be adequately com- ; pensated for their labors. Xo city can rise above tho educational advantages
offered to its children, and if Hammond is to develop into the great city its present well apparent prospects indicate, serious consideration must be given to the school situation as it now exists in this city. '
