SIX AND SIX PLAN.
Course of Study for High Schools Is
To Be Revised

The high schools of Michigan are
each year increasing in Importance
The last five years has seen "A remark
able movement of rural students to
the high school. There has also been
marked effort on the part of school
authorities to make the high school
teach the things that will be OF most
use to the boys and girls. For the
purpose of aiding i'm this problem the
Department of Public Instruction win
publish in August a suggestive Course
of Study for Michigan high schools
II will indicate work along four dis
tinct lines; college preparatory, agri-
culture, domestic arts and CONNER
cial.
The work will be outlined so that
pupils may begin To choose the line
they wish To pursue in the seventh
grade instead of the ninth as at pres
ent. This will make the division be-
tween the elementary school and high
school come with the seventh grade.
1t is believed the large number of chill
dren who now leave school in the sew
enth and eighth grades will be held
in school by giving them work which
meets especially with their needs.
This organization will also enable
schools to teach all grades above the
sixth by the departmental plan. that
is by having n special teacher for
each subject. Moreover the pupil will
advance by passing subjects instead
of grades.
Present conditions in Michigan
schools are such that the proposed
plan can be adopted easily. Several
cities of the state have already tried
the plan. In other states also the plan
is meeting with favor wherever tried.
Because it divides the school course
into two parts, each covering six
years the proposed organization is
commonly called the Six and Six plan.

The device consists of perforated

read is placed facing the light upon
rest. a small intensely bright line of
light, passing through the holes i'm
the disk, travels from one letter To
the next, and the type reflects the light
on To selenium bridge. Each letter
gives a characteristic sound. which is
heard by means of a telephone. The
reader must know the sound of each
letter to be able to follow the print.

who bought pistol from "A dealer who
prudently charged ii with blank shells.
The girl then shot at her lover with
out doing him the slightest harm on

possible to carry out the intention.
This point is now the subject of in
genious argument on both sides.
