NEw COURSE AT BoARDmAN.

Upon the recommendation of Princi- pal Mather, the superintendent and board of education have made some im- portant changes in the course of study followed at the Boardman school. Here after the studies for the first year will be the same for boys in both general and scientific courses, Latin occupying the last three years instead of the first three years of scientific course. This will result in a marked economy in teaching force, and give pupils more time in which to decide upon the course to take. The study of German has been dropped entirely from the general course for boys, and the time tory and civil government. To these subjects will be given six periods each week for the entire course of four years. It is safe to say that no other high school in the state gives so much time to them.
 Another noticeable feature is the great attention given to the so-called science studies, physical geography, botany, chemistry, electricity, biology, and physiology. The purely mathe- matical studies-algebra geometry and trigonometry, occupy but two years of the general course, and are followed during the remaining two by elemen- tarv and 9nn1ind 11oac "a nj of fhp plication of mathematics to the laws of mechanics, and to problems of great practical importance, these subjects being taught experimentally as in physics and chemistry.
 The school now contains 260 pupils, with no senior class. This is an in- crease of fifty over last year. Next year an incoming class of at least 13O is expected, and there will be between $50 and 400 regular pupils.
 The following is the course for girls for the first year: Physical geography, (first half year), botany (second half year), algebra, English, English his tory, drawing, free hand and mechani- cal; domestic science, sewing, clay modelling and wood carving.

 THE YALE'S FLAGS.
 A final disposition of the flags of the United States cruiser Yale has not yet been made, and they still lie in the Chittenden library. President Dwight is of the opinion that the flags will be ,,loood coroawhere on the walls Of the
