NEW HOURS AT HIGH SCHOOL
Proposal to Commence Earlier, Close
EaIier and Cut Out the
Lunch Hour.

The high school committee of the Board
of Education will. in all probability, soon
hold a meeting to consider proposal made
at a late meeting of the board by Member
Phillip to change the hous at the high
school. Mr.. Philippis proposition was to
have the hours from a. m. to 1880 in
stead of commencing later in the morning
and continuing the session until 2:30, with
a half hour for lunch at noon. The change
proposed would give the students the same
number OF hours for recitatons as at pres
ent. but would make the study hours all
in the afternoon, which could be put in
at home.
One of the prime objections to the pres
ent hours is that half an hour is not suf-
ficIent for lunch. The students make a
rush for the lunch room, bolt down their
lunch and rush back to the recitation room
OF to their studies all too soon for the
good of their health. The proposed hours
would permit them to have all Of their
meals at home.
Mr.. Philippi has written TO Superintend-
ent Davidson concerning the matter, but
owing to the latter's absence from the city
has received no reply up TO the present,
but when It is received the committee will
probably have a meeting 70 consider the
matter.
