Commissioner of Education NJ. 3. Hill
legas and Union Superintendent NJ. ID
Chittenden of Burlington have returned
from Boston, where on Saturday they
attended a conference of the New Eng.
land board on college requirements in
which they made some suggestions as
to changes in the requirement. The rea-
son for the proposed changes is that in
the last several years new branches have
come into the high schools so that the re-
qnirements do not meet the new con
ditions. Fourteen and one-half points
are needed for a student to get into the
colleges, but the high schools want four
of these points changed, so that the
head OF the school may elect upena which
studies they shayy be marked in these
because of vocational education, domes-
tic science and like agricultural studies
being made prominent. This modification
would materially improve the require
ment. Dartmouth college is doing prac
tically what was recommended at the
cUHleltHttr ST. IL IL thdN
