Should embryonic plans now in
consideration, materialize and the
board of education sanction plans
proposed by DIR. r. L. Reid, principal
of the high school, the curriculum of
the institution will be moderately
revolutionized and the standard ad-
yanced to equal that of the best edu-

1t is proposed to ask the board Of
education to install as part of this
equipment in the commercial depart
ment, as many as twelve typewriters
and rotary mimeograph machine.
Two or three weeks will elapse be-
fore the subjects sor study in the
high school will be rearanged and the
matter of purchasing machines and
other aids to commercial study is
placed before the directors. In speak
ing of the matter today, however, DR..
Reid was hopeful of obtaining per-
mission to equip the newest branch Of
school study with all of the neces-
sary material. He said:
We do not care whether student
enters and pays no attention to alge-
bra or other subjects for a year or
two. Commercial arithmetic and 9TH
er studies of the department may be
followed and after the student has
been here for time, he will see the
necessity of tho other branches in
