While Wall Street has recently
been turning a deaf ear TO the good
news that has been giving encour-
agement to business Inen the coun-
try over, the time Is not far dis
tant when the cumulative evidences
of returning prosperity and Of tn"

being constructed under the tinan-
cial and industrial situation are
certain to make their impress felt
establishment of United States Steel
common on S per cent basis last
Tuesday was a vote OF confidence
by one of the greatest groups of
financial leaders in the country in
the permanent character Of the
highly encouraging conditions which
now exist in every line of industry
and enterprise. II they had col
lectively believed that there was
any feeling of uncertainty ahead; II
the future was very dark and des-
perate, or II there was any danger
of imitation in the immediate future
or any reason for extreme caution.
it seems probable that they would
have still further conserved the re-
sources of the great corporation
whose financial membership the busi-
ness men of the country may accept
as a reasonably safe guide for the
shaping of their policies.
No less reaSsuring than the pro-
fesion Of faith which the Steel board
has made in the security of the
Country's financial future was the
emarkablc showing of earnings for
the last quarter of the year, which
furnishes abundant proof that be-
meath all the cxaggeration to which
the promoters of speculative move
ments in many of Wall Streets
speCialties have recently resorted
for the purpose Of inducing pub
lie following in their various en-
plotations there has existed sub

parent, this present month having
witnessed contracts and preparations
for work on a more extended scale
than has been the case since the
steel Industries the problem is
whether the mills can turn out the
production which this years de-
mands call for. In the textiles the
rising costs of material and labor
that have been reflected in the prices
asked for the finished fabrics are
proving no bar to greatly increased
purchases in the primary markets.
The manufacturers of garments and
shoes for both mems and women's
wear. assured of a heavy spring
trade. are making their preparations
for an even greater one in the fall.
The main problems seem to be
whether there will be workers
enough to provide what Is wanted
and materials enough to go around.
IL Is many a year since this was
the case and II Is, consequently,
puzzllng to those whose experiences
do not so back to similar occasions.
The New York Press contributes he
following to the boom predictions"
Wall Street bulls and public hold
ers of stocks whose accounts do not
show profits at the current range of
prices are counting on a spring adj
vance in the market, although the
current character of the speculation
extends no great encouragement
there Is to be anything in the nature
Of substantial operations for higher
prices The more important financial
interests are doing nothing to at
tract a public movement, and 1t Is
quite generally known in WE'LL
informed quarters the real leaders in
the financial district are not counting
on tho development of a long period
of bull activity or cOuntenancing sug-
gestions there should be a protraCted
rise just because OF the generally
favorable conditions in our indus
tries.

the courses of study for the high school
have been entirely made over. Begin
ming this year, two courses will be offered !:
the College Preparatory Course and the
General Course. Both of these, and es-
pecially the latter, will admit more cleo

arrangement we have had in the past.
The College Preparatory Course follows
much the same lines as the old Latin
Course; the General Course is com bina.
ton of the English and Commercial, with
some notifications.
The number of periods per day has
been decreased from eight to seven; but
the periods have been increased in length
to 30 minutes, which will lengthen the
school day somewhat.
