ONE SESSION SYSTEM.
Many are Anxious to Have il Adopted for the
High School.

Much has been said within a few
weeks regarding the advisable of one
session for the High school This
question was the subject of a debate
before the Educational Union. a week
or more ago. and some of the import
ant reasons pro and con. We're at that
time expressed.
The Hallowell High school has never
tried the experiment, but it is by no
means improbable that it will sooner
or later be permitted to demonstrate
whatever Of benefit may be derived
from change of that kind.
Principal Dutch is decidedly in favor
of the one session plan. and recently
embodied his views in communica-
ton to the school board. He was edu-
Gated and subsequently taught under
system of that kind He has reason
TO believe that success in equal and in
even greater measure would be possi-
bic with one session. He hopes that
the day is not far distant when the
plan will be adopted at the school.
