There is no substitute for milk in

NEW DIPLOMA SYSTEM.
Principal Smith Commended for New
Plan.

The new system of graduated scale
of Diplomas, as worked out by Principal
L. b. Smith of the Brattleboro high
schol. is commended by all interested
in the welfare of school work, says the
local correspondent of the Springfield he
publican. Under this system each student
will have a chance to earn three different
grade diplomas, according to his ability
and disposition to work Each subject
taught has been given a certain number
of units of credit, and the diploma to be
given at the end of three. four or fye
years work depends upon the total num-
Der of credits combined with the stand
ing in the subjects. The first grade dlplo-
ma means that the student has taken
studies aggregating s. diploma units, with
a majority of A or 3 marks, an average
of so per cent for the senior year and
approximately so per cent for the three
preceding years. In the classical and
Iatin-scientihc courses this diploma Will
entitle the holder to college entrance
certificate. The second grade diploma
will be given to a pupil who has taken
minimum of 70 diploma units, with a
passing grade of 65 per cent or more.
The third diploma will be given for a
minimum of IS units, with passing
grade of 65 per cent or more, :,
The first grade diploma will be earned
by most pupils in four years. but II a
pupil is unable to accomplish this task IN
that time, then the opportunity Is open,
for a longer period. This gives the stu
dent of medium ability chance to take
five wears in securing his preparatory
training, in order to attain grade. in
each subject which would give college
entrance without conditions. This will
undoubtedly save many a student from
being handicapped at the beginning OF
his or her college course with large
number of entrance examinations and
perhaps entrance conditions to work Oft
during their course. 1t may induce some
students from the beginning of their,
course to plan five-year course, instead
of taking postgraduate course, which
some pursue now in order to get the best
possible preparation for their college
course.
The second grade diploma represents four
wears of average work, while the third
grade diploma may be earned in three or
four wears, according to the inclination
of each individual pupil. This diploma
will give the girl. or boy a chance to
earn a diploma in three years, if he or
she does not wish to devote more than
three wears to high school work. 1t will
also give the energetic students of medium
ability a chance to earn something for
his four years of work, while under the
present system he might not attain high
enough standing to entitle him to a regu-
lar diploma. In large number of the
preparatory schools throughout the state
this class of students is pulled through
some way. or else they feel that an in
iustice has been done them, for they
claim that some other student with a
lower standing has been given diploma.

Roy NJ. Houghton made the invocation
and the Song OF the Soldier, the Iorea'
dor song from Carmen, was sung by tue
BOYS of the glee club. In introducing
Professor Horne, Principal Smith said
that for the past three years he had had
Professor Horne ON his list of commence
ment speakers. Mr.. Horne said that he
had ALWAYS wished TO visit Brattleboro
and prefaced his address with a face
tious reference TO the fact that the 2lst
day of June was the longest day IN the
wear and accordingly the night follow
Inc was the shortest. In view of tins
fact he said he would not dwell at any
great length on his theme, The Making
of Men and Women, lie won ms au-
dience at the start with pointed story,
Referring to the subject OF his address
Professor Horne said: No one oil us Is
quite made yet | don't know OF any
particular point in the present or IN the
future where we can say we are nov
made Every step forward Is but the
start. The making OF men ana women
is an unending process. 90,
Professor Horne dealt with his subject
from point OF view seldom used by
commencement speakers; the making oil
men and women as he treated i was
particularly the making Of the physical
man and woman. He said that no more
imnortant question eonfronts us than
what 10 omit in the making of men and
women. He referred in plain terms to
the propagation of the human race and
said that the mating of men and women
was one OF the problems that must con

As usual the announcement of the win.
ners OF the Austine prizes was awaited
with interest and Principal Smith re-
marked that he understood that the
announcement he was about to make was
considered one OF, il not the main feature
of the evenings program. lie presented
each of the winners with a check Tor
sl0O They were Harold +. Staples,
Miriam A. Howard, Harold L. johnson
and Mary L. Austin. The announce
ment of each name was greeted with
applause. Mr.. Smith then read a letter
written 10 him by Mr.. and Mrs; Charles
r. Crosby shortly after the death Of
their son. Edward, in the fall of 1908,
stating that in his memory they wished
10 give prize of 800 to the pupil of his
class who should show the greatest
Improvement from that time to the time
of graduation. Mr.. Smith also read a
letter from Mr.. and Mrs. Crosby written
this week enclosing a check for the
amount of the prize, and announce, that
the winner of the prize was Miss Maud
A. Brown. This announcement was
greeted with applause.
Mr. Smith then presented the class to
the prudential committee and Rev. H..
@. $. Osgood briefly referred to the class
as he had watched its career not only,
through its four years in the high school
but in several instances from the
entrance Of some Of the pupils into the
grades. Following the presentation OF
the diplomas by Mr.. Osgood the class
song to the tune of Loeb Lomond,
with words by Miss Helen 1. Hopkins,
was sung by the class and the benedic-
ton was given by Rev, Roy Nj. Hongh-
