ceptional students will be organized
tomorrow under, the personal direc-
tion of DR.. j. II. Phillips, city school
superintendent. Or. Phillips calls this
my class 1t is composed of about 12
or is boys and girls who. owing to
sickness or many other causes, arc
above the normal age to enter the
High school but at the same time have
not passed the necessary examinations.
DR., Phillips contends that it Is mere
ly a waste of time and energy to keep
these students in the elementary
schools with other children so much
younger than themselves and therefore
he has taken upon himself the per-
sonal responsibility of supervising their
further common school education. If
the plan works satisfactorily DIR. Phil
lips intends to keep it up every year.

graduate tomorrow are as follows:
