TOME SCHOOL ADOPTS NEW
BROAD EXPANSION
PLAN
PLAN

the Board OF managers OF Inc rome
School Corporation approved un-
animously a new. expansion program
which 1t has been investigating
since last September. Under the
provisions of this plan, three new
units will be added at the end of
the present school year to Tones
educational system which for nearly
half century has operated as a
six-form college-preparatory institu-
ton. The new units include seper-
ate four-year junior school-grade v
through VIII, a three-year junior
college of administration based on
the cooperative education plan, and
summer tutoring session for spec
ial work in all Contemporaries
subjects.
There will be no change in the
general policy of the present Tome
School which offers a four-year pro-
gram of college preparatory work,
grades TX through XII, along with
general and business preparatory
courses. All of these departments,
however, will be supplemented with
additional courses in remedial Eng
lish and with transition courses for
high school graduates seeking an
intensive years review before enter
ing college.
The new Tome Junior School
will be separated in faculty, build
ings, playing fields, and general ac-
tivities from the other Tome units.
Conducted on the cottage plan" it
will accommodate thirty younger
boys who are preparing for second
airy school, either day or boarding.
Tome Junior School will accordingly
meet every requirement of class-A
secondary institutions. 1t will en-
phasize haracter-building and per-
sonality development through its
hobby-shopwork, music, and art ac-
tivities and maintain complete
recreation program with its swim
ming pool, golf course, tennis courts,
gymnasium and other facilities.
Tome Junior College of Admins
tration is perhaps the most COM
pletely new and significant of the
units in the expansion project. A
three year collegiate-grade institu-
ton, offering courses in business,
governmental, industrial, and gem
eral administration, it becomes
unique among Junior Colleges in
that it's second and third years will
be fully cooperative. During these
years the students will spend alter
nate eight-week periods of instruc-
ton and of work in college and in
industry. These eight week work
periods will be paid for by the in
dustries which employ the students
and at the normal wage scale. The
opportunity for Junior College stu
dents to earn while they learn the
essential of administration is in
tended by the Tome officials as one
answer, at least, to the increasing
problems of our American economy.
A acknowledgements staff of
college instructors, separate housing,
dining room, sports and activities
will remove Tome Junior College of
Administration from the other Tome
educational units. Only graduates
of accredited secondary schools will
be admitted to the Junior College,
and no transfers to classes above
the freshman year will be accepted.
The new college opens on September
20, 1910. Forty boarding students
and fifteen day students will repre-
sent the current capacity of the in
stitution.
The first unit to begin operation
after the close of the present school
year will be the Summer Session,
revived at Tome after a lapse of
thirty-three years. Admitting prep
school or high school student aim
ing toward college entrance in Sep
TENDER or needing makeup work
for Redistribution in the fall. the
Summer School will present COM
plete schedule of secondary school
subject balanced with thorough
going recreational program of super
vised sports. The session is limited
in enrolment to thirty-five boys and
is arranged so that it's six weeks
plan will leave approximately four
weeks vacation at either end of the
summer holiday. The Tome Sum-
mer Session opens on July 14th and
closes on August oath. Day and
boarding, it's classes will be held in
Van Buren, House on the Tome
campus, and the golf course, swim
ming, pool, tennis courts, and other
recreational centers will be avail
able for every student.
