JUNIOR HIGH IS
ORGANIZED HERE
Eighth Grades Are Placed on
Working Basis of High
School.

According 10 a plan which has
just been completed b. II. A.
Moran, principal the eighth grades
of the Main school will be placed on
the working basis of the high school
and will be known as the junior
high school BY this means, the
eighth graders will have the Oppor-
tunity of carrying five studies. in
Guiding English. history, CONNER
cial arthematic and algebra. stud
ents may carry Latin, manual train
ing, household economics. and those
who are slow in these branches will
merbe given an opportunity 10 take
commercial spelling and penman-
ship.
The b class will carry five sub
jects also, including English, COM
munity civics and vocational guild
ance. This last subject will be in
troduced as an effort to direct the
scholars i'm their selection Of a life
vocation. The studies Will probab-
" be alternated, civics occupying
three days of the week and vOca-
tional guidance two days.
To Use Time Limit.
Besides these branches, the class
will study arithmetic, manual train
ing. domestic science, music. art,
spelling, penmanship, and physical
training. Art and music will be Civ
en- two days, penmanship and spell
ing the same. Both the divisions Of
the eighth grade will recite on the
time limit employed at the high
school and the same study period
will be used.
The movement is very much of an
innovation in the grades. and efforts
are being made to get the plan un-
der way. II affords splendid 0ppor-
tunities for the students and is a
marked improvement over the old
methods. Students failing in one or
more high school subjects will be
enabled to return to the junior
grades for those and at the same
time continue other high school
branches without serious Interrupt
tion.
Besides this. there will be the adj
vantage of supervised study. which
will result in a greater degree of eff
ficiency. The system is one which
has been long advocated by Mr..
Moran, anG il will undoubtedly come
into usage in the lower grades Of the
grammar schools.

THE PROSPECTS OF RUSSIA RE-
ENTERING THE WAR.

The entente allies Including the Unit
ed States will do well not to place too
much reliance on the reports from Pet
rograd about the possibility of the Boil
shevki government of Russia deciding to
resume warfare with Germany because
of failure to reach an agreement at Brest
Litovsk. There is a strong possibility
that the Bolsheviki are adopting such
an attitude as sort of eamoufiage to
cover their real desire for peace and to
bring Germany around to terms which
will be more satisfactory to Petrograd.
There is another possibility, too, that
the Bolsheyiki have put on this front be-
cause of a desire to placate certain ele-
ments in Russia which are disturbed be-
cause OF broken promises TO the entente
allies about separate peace. These two
possibilities alone should cause the en-
tente world as now constituted to take
the reports from Petrograd with grain
OF salt. 1t should also be borne in mind
that it will take year or more for
Russia to get back into the war with
any degree of force.
The only immediate benefit from com
plete failure of the Bolsheviki and the
Germans to come to peace terms would
be the moral effect that such failure |
would have on the entire world. whether /
among the entente allies, in the central
powers themselves or among neutral ma
tions. Failure to conclude separate peace
by the negotiators now would indicate to |
the entire world that the kaiser's desire /
Tor peace was snbordinated by his gu.
pidity, his desire for territorial aggrand /
izement and for the other spoils OF war |
Failure would serve TO strengthen the (
moral purpose of the enemies OF the
kaiser to carry on the war until such a
time as the naughty ruler Of Germany
was forced to accept any sort OF peace /
that he could secure aud il would solidify /
the sentiment Of the neutral world /
against the greedy, srssping policy Of I
the German government Realization of 4
what had results would come to Ger
many's prestige at home aud abroad

ence without result undoubtedly explains
