URGES new SCHOOL SYSTEM
Supt. Stuart Would Devote Courses
to Trade Lines.
Anxious TO Teach Boys and Girls
How to Get Good Jobs and
Keep Them.

Just az soon as Congress makes suf-
hcient appropriations a new school train
ing system viii be put into practice, ac-
cording 10 Supt. A. T. Stuart. who re-
turned yesterday from Atlantic City.
Supt- Stuarts plan is to reorganize the

beginning, more attention will be paid
he trade. or vocational, lines.

Supt. Stuart this year. and steps will be
taken TO urge Congress to make enough
education 70 install the new courses.
Thousands Of boys to-day under the
present system. are able only 70 wrap
bundles when they quit school at an
early age. and it is for this reason that
Supt. Stuart wants to teach boys and

enable them TO get good jobs.
To carry on this work $4,000 IS needed,
and Of this amount the board Of educa-
tion has only S17.5OO at its disposal.
1t is possible that an annex course OF
the Business High School will be insti-
tuted next year at Eastern High School
on account Of the remarkable success
in these courses. The Business High
School has an employment bureau, Supt
Stuart said, which guarantees employ
ment to every graduate, but the new
