fore the Board Of Commerce. Tuesday

trance requirements. thus forcing the
public schools to shape themselves In
such way as TO meet the demand OF
the few who desire to enter the so
called higher institutions OF learn
ing"
I'VE train the child for all sorts OF
things he will never use. and, at the

he said. mo innovation in the school
curriculum can be suggested without
running up against the Chinese wall
OF the college and the demand that
the student have the preliminary
training that shall enable him TO pos.
sess. at a certain age, certain
amount OF knowledge that Is required
In the entrance examinations"

II is doubtful II there is more
interesting school in Detroit than the
Campbell, and Principal +. h. DO
hany, the man behind the guns tof
is years at this school, is full OF REM
iniscences, that are worth telling. 80 Q
viii refrain from writing about them
at present, however, and leave II TO
the editorial stan, TO be selected soon,
TO handle the matter. We enjoyed
our visit 10 the Campbell. Tuesday,
very much, and appreciate the courte-
sizes extended.

ton that membership cards issued 10
