TOME SCHOOL TO
BEGIN AN ERA
OF EXPANSION
Three New Units Will Be Added
At The End OF The Pres
ent School Year


Deposit, Maryland, one of the Eastern
Shores most noted educational insti-
buttons, has under way a new broad
expansion program. Under the pro-
visions of this plan, three new units
will be added at the end of the pres
emit school year to Tones educational
system which for nearly half a cen
fury has operated as a six-form col
ege-preparatory institution. The
new units include a separate four
year Junior School-grades V thru
VIII, three-year Junior College of
Administration based on the co-opera-
tive educational plan, and Summer
Tutoring Session for special work in
all college-preparatory subjects.
There will be no change in the gen
eral policy of the present Tome School
which offers four-year program of
ollege-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 English and with transi-
ton courses for high school graduates
seeking an intensive years review
before entering college.
The new Tome Junior School will be
separated in faculty, buildings, play
ing fields, and general activities from
the other Tome units. Conducted on
the cottage PLAN, it will accommo-
date thirty younger boys who are
preparing for second school, either
day or boarding. Tome Junior School
will accordingly meet every require
ment of Class-A secondary institu-
tons. It will emphasize character
building and personality development
through its hobby workshop, music
and art activities and maintains a
complete recreation program with it's
swimming pool, golf course, tennis
courts, gymnasium and other facili-
ties.
Tome Junior College of Admins
tration is perhaps the most complete
ly new and significant of the units
in the expansion project. A three
year collegiate-grade institution, Of
fering courses in business, govern
mental, industrial, and general adj
ministration, it becomes unique a
mong Junior Colleges in that it's sec
ond and third years will be fully CO.
operative. During these years the
student will spend alternate eight
week periods of instruction and of
work in college and industry. These
eight-week work periods will be paid
for by the industries which employ
the students and at the normal wage
scale. The opportunity for Junior
College students to earn while they
learn the essentials of administration
is intended by the Tome officials as
one answer, at least, to the increas-
ing problems of our American econo-
my.
A acknowledgements staff of
college instructors, separate housing,
dining room, sports and activities will
remove Tome Junior College of Adj
ministration from the other Tome edu
vcational units. Only graduates of &C
credited secondary schools will be adj
mitted to the Junior College, and no
transfers to classes above the fresh
men year will be accepted. The new
college opens on September 20, 1910.
Forty boarding students and fifteen
day students will represent the cur
rent capacity of the institution.
The first unit to begin operation
after the close of the present school
year will be the Summer Session, re-
vived at Tome after a lapse of thir-
ty-three years. Admitting prep school
or high school students aiming to-
ward college and entrance in Septem-
Der or needing makeup work for re-
classification in the fall, the Summer
School will present complete sched-
ule of secondary school subjects bal
anced with thorough-going recre-
ational program of supervised sports.
The session is limited in enrolment
to thirty-five boys and is arranged so
that it's six weeks plan will leave APP
proximately four weeks vacation at
either end of the summer holiday.
The Tome Summer Session opens on
July 18th 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 available
for every student.
