RICHMOND H. S. TO OPEN; "GO IF YOU CAN" IS URGE OF EDUCATORS

It is not too early to begin to think 1 seriously about school work in the fall, since the schools open in September. Much of the disappointment in life comes from the fact that a large proportion of young people go out imperfectly prepared to make a competent living. The elementary training which the law forces on them is so inadequate. The armies of children dropping out of nehool each year into the ranks of unskilled labor spend their lives drifting about from one occupation to another, about as badly mixed up as if some blind power had shaken them together and then hurled them forth in all directions without purpose or intent. This may sound a trifle rhetorical, but it is fact and not Action. The briefest glance about in the competitive lines of labor reveals its truth. And it is only in recent years that tht public schools have prepared themselves to meet the needs of the mass, es. Commercial courses are now offered, as well as industrial, technical and domestic science course. Everywhere we see the aim and endeavor to broaden out the old curriculum. Pupil Can Choose. Now by many new introductions the pupil i3 given a chance to choose the line he wishes to follow early in his school life. If on entering high school he plans to follow business he can take the commercial course. Later on if he should change his mind he can change his course. Or again, if he wishes to take architecture or designing or engineering or electrical work and follow it out in further education later he can fit his high school course to his future intent and purpose. If you ask the majority of men of middle life how they came to do the work they are doing they will tell you that they "Just happened to." Comparatively few of them had a definite aim during their school days. They drifted through school as far as they went and then into the first work which seemed- to offer the best "returns. 1 Those who succeeded did so more as a result of character and opportunity than of any particular training and those who are living in failure and nonachievement are doing so because they possibly did not possess the same aggressiveness of character and the same opportunities. And the chances are fewer today for success without training than they were a score of years ago, and the right sort of training and preparation is becoming as necessary for other careers and lines of work as it has always been necessary for the professions. Richmond H. S. Courses. Courses offered by the Richmond high school for the coming year will be among the best ever placed before local high school students. While no , new subjects will be taught, several now teachers have been added to the faculty, and under the able leadership of V. G. Bate, the new high school principal, and J. H. Bentley, superintendent of schools, thorough training is being prepared for the new entrants into the high school and the upper classmen. In order to graduate from high school a pupil must have completed one hundred and sixty credit hours, which is defined by the school board as being a study in which daily preparation is necessary, carried satisfactorily throughout a semester one day each week. A period in the shops or laboratories is regarded as equivalent to a period in a prepared recitation, and prepares the pupil for mechanical work. However, the number of credit hours can be decreased by the pupil winning scholarship honor points which are awarded in accordance with the term mark as follows: Credit Hours Requirde. A study carried with the mark of "A" counts 1.2 points per credit hour, "B" counts 1.1 points per credit hour, "C." counts 1 point per credit hour, "D" counts .8 points per credit hour, while "F" (failure) counts no points. A study in which no mark is given or studies transferred from another school counts - point per credit hour. Points above the minimum will op erate to reduce the number of vredit hours required as fnllows: 165 points, 150 hours; 166 points, 15S hours; 167 points, 156 hours; 168 points, 154 hours; 169 points, 152 hours: 170 points, the most obtainable. 150 hours. Each pupil, (except those enrolled in the vocational curricula) must complete for graduation two majors of 30 hours each, in English, and in some one of the study groups listed below; two minors of at least 20 hours, each in any two of the study groups not chosen in above: ten hours in American history; five hours in civics; twe semesters' work in music or fine arts; two semesters' work in physical training. List Study Group The study groups from which the pupils choose one of their majors and both their minors are as follows: 1. Foreign language, i. e., Latin, French or Spanish; 2. mathematics; 3. history: 4- science; 5. household arts; 6. industrial arts; 7. commercial subjects. There are eight regulations for the graduates: 1. All girls must complete 10 hours in household arts. 2. Commercial pupils not preparing lor college may take their second major and minors in group. 3. No credit toward graduation will be given lor less than two years of a foreign language, except, that pupils having completed two years of a foreign langauge may receive for each additional semesters' work in a second foreign language. 4. Excepting single semester subjects and with the exception in group 3. no credit toward graduation will be given for less than one year's work. Pupils who have completed three or more semesters of Latin or French in the Garfield Junior High school and enter with 24 or more credits are given 5 hours In Latin or French. Pupils are supposed to carry not less than 20 or more than 23 hours of work a semester. No pupil will be allowed to violate this rule, except through permission of the committee on studies. Freshmen may take any subject that Is listed in the program of studies ; without the consent of the head of the department or the teacher advisor.

Below is the list of courses which will be offered in the Richmond high school beginning in September. Have you coys or girls already1 started on their high school course or have you boys and girls entering in the fall? Are you in doubt as to whether or not they are pursuing the right course? There are over twenty courses to select from. Are you sure what line of work your boy or girl is best suited for? Copies of these courses will be mailed on application to the high school authorities and detailed information given in regard to them. General course Four years Science course Four years Commercial course Four years Technical course Four years Household course Four years Arts course Four years Course in accounting. Course in stenography. Course in machine shop. Course in electricity. Course in household studies. Course in printing. Course in agriculture.

Not more than forty hours In music, physical training or fine arts will be counted towards graduation. However, this restriction, as far as music is concerned will not apply to those students taking the Vocational Music course. ' Pupils may graduate from the high school without meeting college requirements, which are: English, 30 hours; Algebra, 10 hours; Plane Geometry, 10 hours; Foreign Language, 20 hours; American History, 10 hours; Civics, 5 hours; Science, 10 hours; Music or Drawing, 1 hour; Physical Training, 1 hour, and Electlves, which will be chosen with the consent of the teacher advisor. This is required of those who wish to receive college entrance certificates at the completion of their high school work. Under no circumstances will certificates be issued to pupils who have not. completed this work. Nursing Course Urged The practical nursing course is open to any girls who have completed their 10th year, and to all girls between the ages of 14 and 25. This leads to graduation but does not prepare for college. Pupils enrolling in course are required to put in a school day from 45 to 60 minutes longer than the other students of the school. The machine shop course, is open to all boys up to the capacity of the shops. This course will also require the pupils to remain from 45 to 60 minutes longer than the rest of the students, and leads to graduation, but does not prepare for college. It puts the boy practically on a par with experienced machinists. It is hichlv important, urge school authorities, that the pupil choose early in his high school career the vocation he wishes to follow or the college he expects to enter and plan his studies to that end. Wabash Professional Football Team Planned (By Associated Press) WABASH, Ind., Aug. 18. The W. A. A. football team will be organized again this year. Billy Jones, manager of the team, who made the announcement, also stated that a number of the old players had already signed up. The W. A. A. team which is recognized as one of the best professional football teams in the country, was not organized last year because of the fact that many of the players were in service. 82 r ffffi nrrr

Elmer Wolfel, 229 North Eighteenth, sends in three names as follows: "Anthony Wayne Legion." "Wayne Fidelity Legion," and Wayne's Liberty Legion." Mrs. C. W. Howard, of 1113 Hunt street, suggests "The Wayne County Division of the Great League of Nations," in honor of the League of Nations, or "Wayne County Division of the worm s region. Thad W. McClown of Hagerstown, says that Wayne county's slogan for years has been "Wayne County Against the World," so when the World war came she responded to the call for help with 2,500 of her best young men as freely as she answered the call of 1861 to free the states.
