DEPARTMENTS.
WORK OF NEW DEPARTMENTS
is RAPIDLY ROUNDING M
TO FORM.

Avery desirable change in the workE
system of the local schools was eHexae
last week when Supt. II. C. Hess -ard
Rev. Robert Schlinkert met and aze-.
ranged for the two upper classes Of tK
parochial schools to take advantage d
the industrial training offered in tn.
public high schools. This means the
the children coming from the paroc4iR
schools will have had taste of taK
public school system and will be better
grounded for their high school wuk.
This step should do much toward bridee-
ing the gap between the two schools 4

it will mean more adequate preparatim
for the children entering from thechuxh
institutions in that they will be unzH
par with the students entering thedresht-
man class from the public schools
Supt. Hess has been working quieffy
toward some such solution for some tine
and found Father Schlinket quisE
willing to cooperate in the matter. The
details of the plan have not yet bez
decided upon but everything win be n
shape for the work to start this fall whex
school opens.
The scheme, in so far as it has beas
perfected, is to have the children of tfx
parochial school register for the domatr
and industrial work for certain day.
in the week. This will apply to liz
seventh and eighth grades only TiH
girls will be given courses in smpls
sewing and cooking in the recently con-
pleted domestic science department a
the new high school under the direrlH
of the high school domestic sciaza
teacher. The, boys will have access h
the splendidly equipped manual training

OF manual training. This will consist Il
course in the theory and practice a
the use of the simpler tools and TIN,
making of simple articles of furnnus
and house hold articles. The work wR
be identical with the work done b.
similar grades in the public schools.
It is thot that the newly complefeKs
departments will provide ample nox
