Nearly 75O Pupils in Hillhouse and 160 in
Boardman-Scientific Course Lengthened
to Four Years-Two New Teachers-W
at Boardman-Testimonia to ex-Assistant
Principal neutrality-suspicious. in Other
Schools.
Yesterday was very busy day for
High school and his corps of teachers,
as that was the last day of entrance
examinations for those who failed to
pass in June, The examination was
tried by about seventy pupils, of which,
it is thought, about fifty have passed,
although it will not be known for GER
tain how many until Monday, after the
papers are all looked over and marked.
The entire new class will probably
number 222, the third class 220, the
junior class ITO and the senior class 1876,
making a total of nearly 750 in the
school. AT the beginning of the year
last year there We're 720 pupils register
ed. There are in the school TAO seats,
so the overflow this year will be less
than was expected, if there is any at
all. No arrangements have been made,
however, to accommodate more than
the 740 for whom there are seats, and
if more than this number apply it re-
mains to be seen how they will be taken
care of.
Glass work for the three upper classes
will begin this morning, but the new
class will not begin real work until
Monday, when it will be registered. The
work for this class will however, be
given out to-day. The change made
last spring lengthening the scientific
course from three years to four years
will go into effect this year. The only
change in studies is the dropping out of
physics from the college preparatory
course and confining the work Of the
course entirely to those studies which
are necessary for a college preparation.
Two new teachers begin work in Hill
house this year, Mr.. Richardson, who
will teach French and German, and
lish.
At Boardman Manual Training school
yesterday seventeen pupils were taking
entrance examinations, this being a new
feature this year, as last year no exam
nations were required for entrance.
There will be 160 pupils in the school
| this year, which is somewhat less than
| last year on account of the restrictions
| imposed There are only two classes
| the new class and the junior class, the
school not having been started long
| enough for a senior class to have been
turned out. About 600 pupils can be
| accommodated at Boardman, with only
| a slight increase of teachers. This year
work will begin in forging, clay model
] ing, chemistry, and dressmakine
branches, which were not taught in
the school last year. Studies will be.
| gin at once. The classes will meet to-
| day, and the time will be devoted te
registration and assignment of lessons.
The machine shop, which is splendid
| ly equipped with turning lathes anc
other paraphrenalia, but will not be
used until next year by the senior class
| Work in the foundry in moulding will
begin at once, and the room set aside
for this purpose with the equipments
| will accommodate twenty-six boys
| They will work here twice a week. The
forges and anvils, in the forging room
are arranged in pairs across the room
in two rows, and look truly like instru
ments of work, and will be used three
| times week. 1t has been proposed tt
reduce the 61a hours of work to
hours, which is the time in Hillhouse
but this proposition may not be ap
plicable, as the extra hour and a hal
is put in at shop work.
Mr.. Booth who has been the assist
ant principal at Boardman, has beer
appointed principal of the new schoo

made in the Courier few days ago
