The problem confronting the last
three divisions in the revamping OF the
normal school course is identical with
that in the reorganization Of the VIII
son Normal School course. Graduat-
ing its students heretofore after the
completion of two years of work, the
Miner Normal School now must plan
a course extending over four years By
virtue of the curricula change, no
graduates will come from this school
next June. put the present second-year
students must return for a final year
of preparation before they can qualify
to teach in the system. Consequently
the course must be scientifically broad
ened and intensified to take care of tn.
lengthening of the period of study.
CurricuIa Under Test.
Throughout the coming year teach
ers and principals alike in the senior
high schools of divisions 10 to Is will
study very closely the results which they
are obtaining from the present curric-
ula. Backed by the findings of the de-
partment of superintendent of the Ma
tional Education Association, as con-
tanned in its records last February
which set forth that high school courses
showed less progress than any Other
phase of institutional education, Mr..
Wilkinson will instruct his staff to pre-
sent its findings and recommendations
in the annual reports of the individual
teachers and officers next June. These
findings will be investigated through
the school systems research department
and formal recommendations of currlc-
ula changes will be made later.
During the coming school year Mr.,
Wilkinson and his personnel will con-
tinue to stress the development of char
acter in students of the elementary.
junior high and senior high school years.
Juvenile delinquency throughout the
Nation he believes, is traceable directly
to the failure, in a measure at least, of
the state, church. home and school"
IN their respective responsibilities to
train the characters of the children in
their charge This can be brought about
largely through the character develop
ment of the school officers and teachers,
and Mr.. Wilkinson said yesterday he
plans to provide an intensive program
of teachers councils and educational
meetings for the promotion of their own
characters.
The coming year will witness sew
eral moves by schools of Mr. Wilkinson S
divisions. The Garnet-Patterson Junior
High School at Vermont avenue, Tenth
and U streets, will be opened for the
first time. The Shaw Junior High
School will move from the old M Street

The report from Peru indicates
that the sides of the mountain ap-
pear to be extremely steep for seal
ing and that it is surrounded by a
deep ravine. DIR. Eaton says that his
notes bear out these facts with the
single exception that the summit
may be approached from the north
and that is where Heald. now con-
nected with the United States geo
graphical service, made his ascent.
DIR. Eaton said further that
Heald made three attempts to reach
the summit. the last OF which was
successful and that he found only a
small wall and three caves there.
The place had the appearance of
having been used as a signal station
but not as place of habitation. he
declared.

had six drinks and remembered
nothing more until she recovered

strong force and had places of en-
tertainment closed.
Disorders May Occur
There was an uneasy feeling today
that demonstrations would occur
These. it was feared. might lead to
greater disturbances in view of the
intense resentment of the Croats
against the members of the Jugo-
slav government party whom they
hold responsible for the shooting of
Raditch.
That such disorders might not
long remain local was the fear that
was causing deep anxiety elsewhere
than Jugoslavia. The bitterness of
the Croats towards what they re-
gard as Serbian domination is well
known. The prospect of a peaceful
reconciliation seemed hopeless at
present. especially since parlla-
memary commission has voted in
favor of ratifying the Nettuno con-
