States answer to the present-day
problems of unemployment. division
of work and extended leisure.
The new plan, made effective this
year, does not call for dropping any
of the classical subjects, but enables
the student to qualify for diploma
through extended courses in such SUBJ
jects as woodworking. electricity and
shop work, music, art and home
making
Although in effect only a little
more than two months, parents have
voiced their approval, says Dr. George
M. Wiley, assistant commissioner Of
secondary education.
Pointing out that current economic
and social changes have decreased the
employment possibilities of boys and
girls between IL and 18 years of age,
with the problem of so organizing
the school and so developing the class
room technique that each pupil shall
have the opportunity to do his best
in those fields that are of especial
value and interest to him"
To do this the secondary curricu-
lum was revised on a scale which,
over a period of six years, would pro-
vide an Exploratory period of three
years and three years more of inten-
sive training in the field most adapt
able to the students needs. In the
first three-year period the student is
trained in the basic studies, such as
English, geography, history, mathe-
mates, health and physical education
and practical and vocational arts.
Throughout the exploratory" Pc
riod stress is placed on training the
individual to ascertain his or her own
capabilities and decide upon the field
most suited to them.

Rickenbacker Flies Trans

Newark, in IL Hours

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 9. (UP)
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker last
night smashed the transcontinen-
tai transport airplane record when
he landed his huge silver air liner
at Newark airport at 8:46 p. m.
EST, IL hours, z minutes after
taking off from Burbank, Calf.
The former war ace, accompa-
MED by two co-pilots and several
passengers, broke his own trans
port record of 13 hours, 2 min
utes, making only one refuelling
stop at Kansas City.
A crowd of 500 cheered as the
Douglas plane slid into the bril-
liant area of the floodlights at the
south end of the airport.
The huge twin-motored craft,
which flew much of the journey
through the rarified atmosphere
of the sub-stratosphere, made the
crossing in just two minutes less
than an hour under the mark set
by Rickenbacker in a similar ship
last year. :.
The plane is twin of that pi-
loted by the Flying Dutchmen,
Parmentier and Mol, to second
place in the London-Melbourne
air race.
A light drizzle glistened on the
! broad metal wings as the pilot
TAXED the ship toward the Ad-
ministration building with bursts
of the roaring motors.

speed in the 2600-mile crossing at
215 miles an hour.
