Announcement Of the changes in
studies at the business High School re-
sulting from the action Of the board
OF education at its last meeting, ex-
tending the course to four years, has
created great interest.
This is one Of the most radical changes
made in ten years, but II has been un-
der consideration for fully half that
time, and is approved by all the school
officers. The new studies and the four
year course are not arbitrary, the pupil
having his option on the Old or the new.
The Change adopted here is similar 10
the one recently put in operation by
four OF the largest Eastern cities. and
was made after a careful study OF these
examples.
In the new Sour-year course the tech
nical business training is retained. but
Is extended TO embrace not only the
ordinary branches, but the sciences ana
languages. auditing. advanced account
ing. and business Organization. CONNER
cIal and industrial geography has been
added TO that branch of history.
