South Kentucky College adopted a
regulation last week which is q de-
parture from an old established GUS
tom. Monday instead of Saturday
has been set apart as the holiday in
each week, so that the school week is
from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive.
One of the advantages mentioned in
favor of this is that lessons may be
prepared for each school day on the
evening preceding, without interfer-

been the experience Of every teacher
that Mondays lessons are always
more or less unprepared by day pu-

evenings. 1t may be that this de-
parture from the old order of things
may prove satisfactory solution Of
a very difficult problem.
