in the conduct of Harrisburg's school
government unanimously adopted last
evening by the school board in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of Dr. +. E. Downes, city superinten-

twelve instead of thirteen years for a
child to go through school.
The proposed changes became effec-
tive September, 1915, the ninth grade
will be eliminated the following June,
1915, and the first promotion Febru-
airy, 1917. The examinations and
transfers In February will be informal
and without change of teachers. The
changes proposed will not effect the
teaching staff as the ninth grade
teachers will gradually be absorbed in
the other grades. The grades will be
designated as follows: First four, pri-
mary; second, grammar; third, high
school. What promoted pupils cannot
be taken care of at once in the high
schools will be accommodated for a
time among the other grades.
