CHANGE IN HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
Chicago Authorities offer TwO-Year
Technical Training.

Chicago Authorities offer TwO-Year
Technical Training.
The school management committee of the
Chicago Board of Education has approved
a completed plan for a Encouragement OF
commercial and technical education, re-
ports the Chicago Tribune.
1t is claimed that when it is in full opera
tion, probably within one year, it will be
unnecessary for a single boy or girl to be
sent to the long established schools of the
east save for the highest branches of study.
Ninety per cent, it is said, can get more
than they want for ordinary needs without
leaving the city limits, or even the division
of the city in which they live.
The main points OF the plan are, in brief
One and two-year courses In these depart
ments in every general high school in the
city.
Removal Of these elementary courses from
the present technical schools. the Lane
Crane and Lake schools.
Retention of the present third, fourth
and fifth year courses at these schools.
Addition Of sixth year course.
The advantages anticipated are the Of
fering Of experimental study in technical
subjects to every high school pupil, allow
ing them to decide whether they wish to
continue the courses and affordng oppor-
tunity to every child to take a certain
amount of work in whatever course is
wished
The arrangement is the outcome OF a re-
quest from the Schurz and Bowen schoolE
for $4,000 each for installing a third and
fourth grade in technical work, It was
recognized that the giving Of these facilities
to every high school would entail a cost
that was quite prohibltive. As a result Mrs.
Young was asked to collaborate with a spe-
cial committee, made up of former Alder
man Frank /. Bennett, Adolph Carte and
George b. Swift in solving the problem.
This plan is the result:
Pupils who enter the high school," says
the report, should have an opportunity
Of choosing In accordance with their apti-
tudes and capacities, among different de-
partments of study, but a boy or girl who
has Just graduated from the elementary
schools should not be asked at once to make
a final decision as to his or her entire high
school education. A pupil may begin by
choosing the commercial course and later
find that the technical course is better
suited to him. he may begin a technical
course and after the first year or two de-
sire to change TO an academic course.
For these reasons pupils who have Sc
lected a general course should have an
opportunity of taking a certain amount
of technical or commercial work and vice
versa In this way all high school pupils
will have an opportunity of finding out
which course is best suited to them and
an opportunity of Rssoclating with pupils
whose choice OF studies may ultimately
lie in a different direction

science including the setting OF tables FOR
meals, An hour Of every day is spent in

The Price of a Life,

According to Anglo-Saxon law, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king, was valued at fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
otfense by money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life of a peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings,
that of man of noble birth ], 200 shil-
lings, and the killing of king involved
the regicide in a payment of 1900 shil-
lings 1t has been pointed out that the
heir to the throne could thus get rid of
the existing occupant by numbering
him and thereafter handing over the
fine, according to the scale, to the eS
chequer, when his offense would be
purged and his money would come
back to himself, for in those days the
sovereign received all fines as personal
perquisites. There is very little doubt
that these rough means We're practi-
cally applied in the case of some rulers
of England in the preconquest period.
