books in use and for new books to
be adopted. This plan, 1t Is an
nounced not only establishes an
agency which can give continuous at
tention to textbooks, but 1T provides
teachers with an opportunity Tor ap-
propriate participation in an admin
istrative matter in which they are dl-
rectly and vitally concerned.
1t was brought out that, in accord
ance with the general policy Of his
administration of inviting officers
and teachers to share with him the
school system. on February 10 the
superintendent invited school officials
to recommend teachers to serve on
several committees on revision Of
courses of study for grades seven and
eight and the first year OF high
school. From the names thus sub
lnitted. it is explained, the superin-
tendent selected nine or ten teachers
to serve on each one of the commit
tees to revise the course of study in
the following subjects: History, mod
ern languages. general science En-
1t is the hope Of DR.. Ballou that
these committees will report by June,
1922.
Age Limit Now Fixed.
With regard to age limit for ap-
pointment as teachers. Supt. Ballou
stated that during the period of the
war the supply of properly qualified
teachers was not sufficiently large to
meet the needs Of the school system.
Consequently. it was not possible to
maintain the usual educational stand
ards OF eligibility. Now that the sup
ply of available teachers is becoming
normal, it was added. it is important
that former standards be re-estab-
lished and others be established to
insure a high quality of service. To
this end, on March 16. the board of
education approved a recommenda-
tion of the superintendent that the
maximum age limit for initial ap-
pointment to service In elementary
schools be forty years. and In the
high schools forty-tive years.
Calling attention to the changes in
the requirements for graduation from
high schools. to be incorporated in
the new circular on courses of study
for high schools. DR.. Ballou empha-
sized the following points:
Changes in Requirement.
/. That only two years of a for
diploma, and in special cases a
pupil may elect course Of study
leading to a diploma which shall not
include foreign language.
2. That the study of American his
tory and civics shall be a prerequi-
site for high school diploma. and
that all pupils other than seniors in
1921 and 1922 must successfully COM
plete this study before graduation.
8. That only one year of mathe-
matics shall hereafter be required for
graduation.
4. That a major may be taken in
music or in drawing and crafts. pro-
vided that the major shall be pursued
for not more than two years. and that
not more than one Of these two majors
shall be taken at given time.
The superintendent declared it Is not
the expectation that fewer pupils will
take foreign languages as a result of
contemplated. that pupils who show
no aptitude for such study will devote
their time and efforts to the pursuit OF
other subjects.

"Whereas it has been called to the
attention of the members OF OLD Hick-
ory 30th Division Association that
certain allegations, or charges, were
made to the effect that numerous SOL
diers were put to death in France
without trial; and,
"Whereas. it appears that no re-
ports were made to headquarters of
the American expeditionary forces IN
France, and from their knowledge OF
the cordial feeling which existed be-
tween the officers and the enlisted
men, that they believe that the said
charges are absolutely false and
untrue, and they demand that an
immediate investigation be held con-
cerning the alleged charges and if the
same BE found to be untrue. then, in
that event, that the senator who
made the said charges be properly
and promptly punished in such man
ner as to Congress may seem fit"
