9TH GRADE NAY PASS away
Harrisburg Ii Only city In State Not
Having Eight-year Element
ary Course

The frst definite steps to establish
an eight-year elementary course below
the high schools in the Harrisburg
school district will be taken Thursday
evening at special meeting of the
Teachers committee of the School
Board. Recommendations of City Su-
perintendent Downes viii be taken up
at that time.
Harrisburg is the only city in Penn
sylvanis, according to Superintendent
Downes, which now has a S-year ele-
mentary course. Four other places in
Pennsylvania had s-year courses until
last year. when change was made,
leaving Harrisburg alone.
Should the change be made it will
also mean semi,snnual promotion of
students. One advantage, says Super
intendent Downes. would be in case a
student failed he would have out 10
repeat hale year. whereas, under the
present system, he would have to re-
peat an entire year. No change will be
made in regard to the high schools un-
til such time as new building can

in Belgium and that guns of the allies

the destitute.
The receipts from cities and towns
in Pennsylvania, New jersey and Della
