Another novel way Of distributing
presents is to make huge stocking
of turkey-red cotton or white drilling:
run wire in the hem around the top
to keep it open, and suspend from a
hook in the ceiling BY q wide red rib
bon.
Decorate light stepladder with
ribbon and holly or Christmas green's
and stand by the stocking. Hang 1t

have all parcels dropped into it. Light
packages and letters may be pinned
on the outside. At breakfast table on
Christmas morning draw lots for the

WILL REVoLUTIONIZE
AMERICAN SCHOOLS
Plan Proposed by Members of Daven-
port Board of Education to Have
College Course in High
School.

Last evenings Davenport Times
speaks of a new wrinkle introduced
by member OF the board of education
of that city at recent sitting OF
that school legislative body, which
will no doubt prove of interest to local
educators and citizens generally. The
article says:
A plan that promises to revolution
lie American educational systems il
adopted, was brought before the Dav-
export board Of education, last even
ing, by DIR. o. A. Dahms, one of the
new members of the board. 1t is a
plan to introduce into the high school
an additional two year course, which
would be continuation of the pres
ent high school work and would
coincide with the first two years
work in colleges. The object of such
a course would be to meet the grow
Ing tendency to require two years
collegiate training before a student
may enter upon professional studies
in the big universities, and to enable
the student to attend such school
in his home city and without leaving
the parental roof and surroundings
during an impressionable age.
1t is following out the introduction
of German methods and plans into the
American educational system, a pro
cess which is now going on in the
larger universities and colleges. Ii
his paper, DR.. Dahms calls attention
to the recent report of Abraham
Flexner of the Carnegie foundation
/ showing that the present educationa
conditions are due directly to lax
/ ity of administration. and really to tht
] inefficiency of the high school.
/ The plan is vast in its scope Some
thing similar, however. has been triet
! at Joliet, H., with apparently goo'
results, and DIR. Dahms is now in
quiring into that system. He believe
4 that whereas it is now optional, il
number of years it will be neces
sary TO introduce this system, on &C
count of the constantly rising stand
ards and entrance requirements Sc
by the universities.
In no manner would the plan con
fict with the courses now existing il
the school. These would be continues
the same as at present without
change But the student would merel
be enabled to take the two years 0
college work at home. DIR. Dahm
also points out that the large amour
