DIRECTOR SUGGESTS
AN "ALL-ROUNO R.

Physical Director NOhr of the Rich
mond high school, has submitted an
amendment to the constitution of the
school. whereby student may win
an "Allround r. by making a requir-
ed number of points in all branches of
school activities, including all sports,
as well as oratOry, dramatics, schOl-
arship and geltlemanly conduct.
Mr. Nohr's plan is aimed at the all
round development of the student in
both mind and body. 1t is the opinion
of the sponsor of the plan that this
would be the best method Of bringing
out the standard of a student in all
branches of school activities.
1T would bring out those students
of the school. that heretofore have felt
themselves incapable of starring in
any particular branch of school activi-
ties and it would produce an incen-
tive for outdoor recreation and create
school spirit" stated NOhr
Every phase Of school life, such as
athletics, oratOry. dramatics, studies,
etc, will be graded on a point sys-
TEN: points being awarded from to
10. The required number of points
for the coveted monogram would be
112.
The board of control would name a
list of events, and the scholar would
be accredited with points as they are
scored by his efforts, in the differ
ent lines of work. Competition would
be open to girls as we'll as the boys.
In this way Nohr hopes to develop the
all-round student. who would be capa-
BILE Of holding his own in physical as
we'll as mental tasks.

SAYS CREDIT BOOK
IS GOOD METHOD

People are becoming educated to
business methods" said Charles W.
Jordan. secretary of the Commercial
club when speaking Of the use of the
credit rating books issued by the Re-
tail Merchants section.
The retail merchants section, which
meets every three months, will revise
the credit rating books in May. The
present book issued last May con-
tains more than 10000 names and a
large number will be added from the
filing cases in which new names and
records are kept.
The book contains not only infor-
nation for Richmond merchants but
for merchants and dealers in the sur
rounding territory.
Chris Hasemeier, the newly elected
president has not appointed the mem
bers of the credit rating committee, as
yet. The work of revising the book
is not difficult as the ratings are
kept up to the minute during the year
THE merchant who is asked for
credit by a person unknown to him
does not need to turn his prospective
customer away because of the lack of
Information. He can step behind his
desk and with the book, ascertain the
mans rating, unknown to the Gus
toner. Even if a merchant should
be seen looking up mans rating, the
customer should not be offended"
