as 1t sometimes is known. The scheme
is to conduct the eighth and seventh
grades on the high schol plan. Twen-
ty-two full and sixteen half credits
are required for graduation into the
high school. If the student falls in
one subject, he makes that up. instead
of taking the whole eighth grade
course again. The scheme, Mr.. Hey
