TIE CRICANO HIGH SGI0GL,

Tho Committee Of tie Board Ut Education on
the High School hes recommended some Sweep
ing changes in tho management Of TINT institu.
ton. 1t ia proposed to abolish the Higl-School
classes now held in eo1ao Of tie GremmGr
Schools, aud to accommodate the whole number
Of pupils in tho p1esont building by having half
Of them attend from to l2 in tho morning, aud
the other half from to In the afternoon.
Each session would DO devoted entirely to reclta-
tiou. All studying would have to BIO dono at
home. Tho Commtteos report waa reforced.
ThlD was wise. Such changes should net be
hastily maaa. The whole proposition Ia open to
several grave objections.
The High-School pupils cannot we'll do all their
studying at home. It IL very diticuls for son.o
Of them to DO any there. Very tow families
rooms iu which their children can learn their lss-
Bons. 4 child cannot study to advantage In
place where tho attention III Liable to lie distract

DO constantly interrupted by demands upon their
time. This would be especially truo Of tho
girla, who form the great nlnas Of tho attendants
Of tue High Bchool. They would be expected
to learn thoir tusks IN the iutclvala OF thousand
petty dutiea. Tho result would he evident, not
only IN tia falling health OF the children who
we1o deprived Of tho time needed for recreation
but in tho imperfect preparation Of tcseouB.

fall Of 1871. this idea Of two seasions WA teateu

Another objection to tho proposed plan Ia that

homes before dark II they had to attend tho
