saying that it was too indefinite and
would have the effect Of extending the
time in which an appeal can be taken
from the judgment.
Mr.. Fenton said in coutt that he was
not prepared to say whether his client
would appeal or not, although at the

Nevertheless, it appearing to tho

=
Tile. board of school trustees OF the
city held tile most important meeting
in years last night, and made radical
changes in the courses of study. Be
ginning in few days, the course at
the High School VIII be heightened to
four years. thus requiring less study at
home. and affording more time for study
and intruction in the schoolroom. The
commercial course was also heightened
from two to four years. An orator
to address the graduating class was Sc
lected. IA report on the condition Of
schools in the annexed territory was
received, and a night school class was
authorized at the Marshall School.
The following members We're present.:
Major James II. Capers. chairman; Mr.
Charles Hutzler,. Mr.. f. G.. Ebel, Dr..
Moses D. Hose. Mr.. Arthur b. Clarke
and Mr.. j. G. Corcy. and Superintendent
Fox, Assistant Superintendent Hill, Clerk
and Supervisor C.. p. Walford.
Tho superintendent's report showed u
total enrolment of 1851. This is an in
crease of 2,02S. caused by tho number
taken in with the annexed districts.
The board adopted, on Recommendation
of the committee on teachers and schools
a four years course mt the High School.
to be put In force on the first day of
February of this year. This change will
mean ono year more OF tuition to every
prospective graduate. and, while greatly
strengthening the course, will make the
work Of preparation much lighter on the
pupils. only four periods being required
during the first and fourth years. and five
periods during the second and third years.
A notable change Is that the commercial
course, which heretofore has occupied two
years, will in the future cover four
years.
The entire plan may be regarded as
the most important change that has been
made in the school system in the past
ten years. One OF the best features pre-
sents itself in this form: that the pupil
will have more comprehensive training
in tho schoolroom, while Mt the same
time the mental strain is relieved by re-
quiring less preparation at home,
