Three
Courses Of Study Will Feature
This Years Work
OF CeIIna High SchOOl-VanDeu-
sen and Cencebaugh, New
Men Employed.

PORT j, w Pogue Superintendent
of the local schools. in the following
words yesterday outlined the work
courses proposed In the high school
the coming year;
"In order to give a wider range of
electives, and to make the High
School as practical as possible, three
courses Of study will hereafter be
maintained The branches and their
order are given in outline below.
The Latin coarse is designed to meet
the requirements of those students
who desire TO pursue an arts course
in college This course will admit
the student to any college or uniyer-
sity. The commercial course is de-
signed to meet the needs Of those
who intend to enter business, and
will also admit to most colleges, but
will not admit to courses demanding
four units of language as an entrance
requirement The Industrial course
Is designed to meet the needs of those
who are not proficient in mathemat-
les or language and who desire to en-
ter the industrial world. This
course would admit students to col
.leges for manual training purposes,
only"
"The principal addition to the
high school work, said Prof. Pogue,
lis the new Commercial course which
is carried through all four years of
high school work and gives two full
years study in bookkeeping and a
year and a half in shorthand and
typewriting. To care for this new
work we have secured the services of
one of the most proficient teachers
available, John VanDeusen, gradu-
ate of the Ohio State University, and
of the Oberlin Business College"
The school board has added an In
dustrial course to the high school
work which Prof Pogue believes will
add much in keeping a certain ele-
ment of pupils Interested in the
school work until they have com
pleted their high school course.
The board at a recent meeting also
hired c. V. Cencebaugh as teacher of
English and German to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Raymond Shiraek, of ST. Henry, who
had charge of the studies the past
two years.

LUCKY ESCAPE

Manager Mahlon Redmon of the
Rex Theatre, had narrow escape
from serious injuries, if not death,
last Friday night, when his Ford
went into the ditch near the H. b.
Freeman home, northeast of this ci-
ty, and turned completely over. He
was returning from MendOn, when
the lights on his car went out. I'm
able to see the road he turned out to
pass a rig and slid into the ditch
The machine fell on top of him, but
owing to the fact that it was held up
by the bank, while he fell into the
center of the ditch, he escaped with
only slight bruises About $50 da-
mage was done to the machine.
