All parents doubtless will be interested
to read of two new methods adopted this
fall BY the high school teachers to keep
the standard of scholarship high and par
ticularly to prevent failure or the dis
couragement that results in a pupils
losing interest, failing to find himself,
even leaving school. Since the highest
percentage of failure is found III the lower
classes. the faculty adviser system has
been adopted Every freshman has been
assigned faculty adviser, or friend, who
will talk with him from time to time
about his school work and outside activi-
ties, that the pupil may realize better
the value of the courses he is taking. may
choose wisely the courses he should take
to fit himself for the school or work he
has in mind and may find his place in
school activities. The aim of the faculty
adviser will be closer cooperation between
pupils, teachers and parents-a friendly
interest that will give each freshman
good start.
The second plan is that of supervised
study hours afterwards in addition to the
general session for hardness. neglect of
assignments, etc. Such a plan proved it's
value last year when tried with FIRST year
algebra and English classes. This year
it will be extended to cover all subjects.

At the first meeting of The Dial board,
which was held last Thursday afternoon.
r. H. Crane explained several ways Of
curtailing The Dial expenses with the
least sacrifice of contents or attractiveness

were decided, the members of the board
feeling much pleased with a dummy made
up to show Mr.. Cranes recommendations

MAXIMUM PRICE LIFTED

BY PRESIDENT Will SON

Washington, March 23.-Government
control over the maximum price Of
bituminous coal was withdrawn today
by President Wilson, effective April /.
April l, is the date on which these
agreements normally would become ef
fectivc and by removing government
control Of prices effective that day.
the president pavcs the way for IN.
creased prices TO absorb the average
y percent increase recommended in
the majority report.
The executive order Withdrawing
government control of prices removes
virtually all government control OF
coal placing the fuel administration
in the statu. that il was before it,
authority was restored when the min.
ers struck last November l.
Al the same time the president
wrote the operators and miners trans
hitting the majority report Of tho
coal commission ana informing them
that this report was "the basis upon
which the wage schedule agreements
between the mine workers and opera.
tors shall be made"
The president wrote the operators
and miners that it was Essential t.
the public welfare that the agreements
be concluded at the earliest date

Us to the fuel supply may be ended.
and that the consumers may he able
TO make contracts for their coal sup
ply"
The president sal dhe assumed that
neither party would raise any ques.
ton and that he was sure that no
question could properly be raised
as to the binding character Of the
award by the majority Of the com
mission notwithstanding the fact that
It was not unanimous.
The president said there was no
provision of law for fixing new coal
prices for peace time purposes AMI
that "unless and until some grave
emergency shall arise. which in my
Judgment has relation to the emerg-
cncy purpose OF the Lever act, I would
not feel justified in fixing coal prices
with reference to future conditions
