PICKELL TO PROVIDE INDIVIDIECOUNSEL Principal of High School Revises Courses to Get Closer to Students With Practical Help.
State Board of Education Approves Plan Adopted to Prepare Students for Work and College. In an pndevaor to reach the individual high school student and to understand his tastes and aim in life a revised course of studies has been prepared by Principal Pickell and approved by the State Board of Education. With the adoption of the new curriculum next fall at the beginning of the following school year, the Richmond high school will be one of the strongest college preparatory schools in the country say experts. Richmond is among the few high schools whose graduates do not have to taken entrance examinations on entering college. The new course is prepared with the purpose of helping students know what vocation they intend to follow. In accordance with Principal Pickell's new idea, each student on beginning his high school career is assigned to a certain instructor who acts in conjunction with Principal Pickell in advising the pupil in his choice of studies which lead to his vocation or professional aim. As a basis of his preparatory work, each pupil has to take certain subjects regardless of what course he pursues. The following studies will be required for high school students in connection with their regular course of studies before a diploma will be granted: English, 6 semesters: Algebra, 2 Femesters; Plane Geometry, 2 semesters; Latin or German, 4 semesters: American History, 2 semesters; Science, 2 semesters. Music or drawing, 2 semesters; Physical Training, 2 Femesters; Domestic Art or Science, (for girls t, 2 semesters. No change in the number of credits toward graduation has been made. The number required in each course is thirty-two. The three courses offered, the College, Industrial Arts and Commercial, are complete in themselves.

Princess Ludwig of Lowenstein-Wertheim is enthusiastic over her cross-channel flight as the first aero-taxi passenger on record. The Princess was in London. She had a social engagement in Paris that it was imperative for her to keep. She communicated with the Hendon Aerodrome in London and explained the situation. "Please send me a flying machine at once," she ordered, much as though she were engaging a taxicab for a ride through the park. Pilot Roland LMng was assigned to the call. He flew his machine to Dover, where the daring young noblewoman boarded the machine. In fifteen minutes the fair young woman was set down on a grassy plain at Calais by the great mechanical bird that had carried her across the channel.

SMALL PREACHES ON IMS PRAYER Pastor Says It Is Supposed to Correct Elaboration and Repetition. That the Lord gave his prayer in an endeavor to correct abuses of elaboration and repetition in prayer was the substance of Rev. W. O. Stovall's sermon at the First P.aptist church, Sunday. "It is not intended to cover all that should ever be the object of prayer, but it is remarkably comprehensive. It is a model of conciseness and directness. When one prays the Lord's prayer he commits himself to its fulfillment. If a man prays, "Thy kingdom come," lie is only a mumbling hypocrite if lie is not trying to help establish that kingdom in his own life and in every part of the world. "In this prayer we confess our dependence upon God. When we pray for daily bread we acknowledge that God is the source of supply for all our material needs. When we ask that our tresspasses may be forgiven, we acknowledge that wo are sinners and in need of pardon. This- was the purpose of the coming of Josus Christ into the world, that he might make it possible for men to ask for and receive pardon for their sins. "Put forgiveness is only for those who forgive. So important is this part of the prayer, that the Lord commented on it afterwards. We may have been grievously wronged, but we cannot hope to receive pardon from God, whom we have wronged, unless we are ready to pardon those who have wronged us."

DOMINION ORDERS SEARCHING PROBE INTO LOSS OF EMPRESS OF IRELAND
MONTREAL, June 1. Charges that the collier Storstad was undermanned at the time of the collision with the liner Empress of Ireland, were made today and will be investigated by Canadian officials. The charges were based on the statements of survivors who declared that the collier had only twelve men including the captain and three mates and that the Storstad was able to send out only one of her life boats. QUEBEC, June 1. Evidence is piling up that the loss of hundreds of lives in the Empress of Ireland disaster couLd have been materially lessened. From suffering survivors there came charges today of cowardice and brutality directed against the members of the crew of the Empress of Ireland. The investigation to be conducted by the government will be the most searching ever conducted in Canada. Capt. Kendall of the sunken liher, and Capt. Anderson of the collier Storstad, will confront each other at this inquiry and w ill be sharply questioned on the points where their stories of the disaster differ. Each commander has blamed the other for the tragedy and the contradictions are so pointed that both captains will be compelled to repeat their I versions and present evidence to back them up. Accuse Crews. Survivors of the disaster today accused members of the crew of the wrecked Empress of filling the first two lifeboats that' were launched. They were charged with failing to heed the gasps for help of men and women, although there was ample room in the boats. The sailors of the sunken liner were also charged with pushing men off the open boats when they attempted to save themselves. Victor Van Voster, a young Belgian, declared that when he tried to get into a lifeboat a sailor kicked him in the chest and knocked him back into the water. He said he feared the man
Signals From Pits Direct Men
Who Pilot BV HERBERT EILER. Contrary to public opinion that the speedway racers get on the track and then open wide and let come what may, a glance at the pit activities Saturday would convince one that such is not the case. For crowded in the concrete enclosures along the stretch a corps of dopesters and pitmen devote their time to keeping the drivers and mechanicians informed as to the progess of the grind. Activity in tne pits is not all devoted to changing tires, parceling out oil and hurling out huge tanks of gasoline, but the race is many times won by the "inside work" of the pitmen. As one scans the pits he sees a group of men in consultation about a stop watch. A man in the group goes to the back of the pit and extricates a blackboard. A moment later a series of figures is painted on the surface. Waiting until their car driver comes even with the pit, the man swings the blackboard high above his head. The mechanician turns. Eagerly he scans the heiroglyphics for the hidden message. A nod of the head and the signal boarddrops from view, and the big cars swing into the race again. Figures Guide Driver. The curious crowd woniiers what the characters on the board mean. It is impossible to cati h the meaning of the huures as they are a part of the special signaling code previously arranged by drivers and pitmen. After the mechanician has received the hi den message he informs the driver of his exact position in the raee, his speed, what cars have been eliminated and what car to get. g A Big Value at the a r i ft i r i un 5aie now, uniy .

would kill him if he made a second attempt and therefore swam away to a bit of wreckage and managed to keep afloat. The tug Eureka picked him up. Little To Eat. Magnus Luren, a Norwegian, who lost his wife, said: "There was an explosion which knocked my wife, myself and many other persons iirto the water. God knows I did my best to save my wife from drowning, but she became panic stricken and when I tried to support her she struggled in my grasp and nearly took both of us to the bottom. My memory of those dreadful minutes in the water is blurred. There was wreckage all about so I clung to a timber until the Eureka came up. 1 saw a woman floating by me. She was nearly unconscious and calling 'Save me, save me.' I clutched her hair and pulled hor head across the timber. When we were landed at Himouski, the Canadian Pacific company did little or nothing for us. I had to go from cottage to cottace to get something to rat. The lirst day in Itimouski (Friday) I had only two crackers all day." The morgue at the dock where the Lady Grey landed her dead from Itimouski was reopened today and the pathetic task of relatives and friends seeking to identify the victims went slowly on. One sobbing mother in search of her baby climbed upon a two-foot bench and leaned over on th- creaking boards, better to view the face of a dead infant, the tiniest victim of them all. Not pait.-? satisfied, she lifted the upper lip and looked for tl. first tooth. It was not there. She turned away in silence. The baby is still unidentified in tho little homemade coffin, scarce two feet long. George Zuk, of Toronto, a native of Switzerland, lost his wife and two chifdren, aged 6 and 3. When lis entered the funeral shed he was overcome and became hysterical. Two marines and a brother quieted him.
Cars on Spe Sometimes an "X" sign looms forth at the top. I'nder a heavy line may be found a " " sign, and at the bottom of the board the speed of the car is painted. When not busy signaling, the group of pitmen pick up powerful fieldglasses and adjust them to their eyes. Cue man watches the boards indication, the positions and speed of the cars. Another watches the stretch for the coming cars to see if he can discern any signs of weakening. Still another keeps his glasses pointed around the turns, watching the racers as far as possible. The head pitman watches his car in every direction to catch any chance signal from the mechanism or driver. At last the head pitmen focuses the speeding car. The mechanician has his hands in a large oval over his head. "Tires" yells the pitmen to his assistants. As the car approaches an arm droops in the direction of the damaged tire. "Left rear wheel" orders the pitman. By the time the car has come to a standstill everything is ready tor the tire change. Jumping from the car the mechanician joins the head tireman and the two labor over the damaged tire. A few swift precise motions, a tightening of nuts and a cloud of smoke and the car is off again. Make Lightning Change. Just thirty-six second has elapsed since the car stopped at the pits. While scanning the track the pitman sees the mechanic ian turn in his seat, fumble with the caps to the gasoline or oil tanks.
