PRAISE FOR JUNIOR HIGHS.
V. NJ. Liston Says It's Not a ''Cure All
But 1t Helps.

Neodesha, Kan, May 2.-The Junior
high school as a new unit of the edu-
cational system is the greatest force
available to keep the boys and girls
of the seventh, eighth and ninth
grades in school. in the opinion of v
NJ. Lston. superintendent of the Neo-
desha schools. More school pupils
drop out of line in these three grades
than any other of the school system,
according to superintendent Liston.
''The junior high school is valuable
chiefly because it arouses the imag1-
nation of both the school patrons and
school administrators and makes it
easier for them to accept the guild
ance of rather new but satisfactorily
demonstrated principles" Superinten-
dent Liston said
"Altho the junior high school is not
a panacea for all the ills of the ira
ditional grammar school plan, yet the
defects of the old system are alleviat-
ed by a. realization of a number of ad-
vantages of the new plan"
