- C$'UR NEW SCHOOL SCHEDULE Before this year school had always started at nine o'clock and was dismissed at three-forty. It had been that way ever since I can remember, and had been that way for centuries, I guess. But this year when Mr. Powers became principal of the schoo], he had a new system which he called solid session . In this system school started at eight forty-five and was dismissed at two-thirty with twenty- five minutes at noon , a oen minute recess, and forty minute classes. This program didn’t work out too well because the peoole who lived in the village and went home to lunch didn’t have time to eat and get back to school on time The school busses also complained because school started too early for them to bring the chlisten here on tine. In the past few weeks Mr. Powers and the rest of the faculty have devised a new plan,-whereby school starts at nine o'clock and is dis- missed attthree o' clock .with a forty minute nooning, a ten minute re- cess, and forty minute clauses. This system seems to have worked out very well so far. It gives the students who go home to lunch plenty of time , and the busses don't have to get around as early as they did, Ucr Although there v;as much fault found ablut solid session, the major- ity of the school supported it, and v;e may go back to it in the soring. Stanley McDermott ’ 49 WHY GO TO SCHOOL? It pays, in doilars and cents, to go as far as possible, in the righ sort of school, or in almost any school,, in fact. Mr. Edison and «r. Ford v.ot along without much formal training; so also dia Mr. Lincoln and Walt Whitman. Very superior persons like these , and all fools, are outside the law of averages. Perhaps their superiority may lie in a specially active will and ambition, spurring an otherwise ordin- ary person to train himself. Somewhere, somehow, everybody in this world must set ready; and schools are the best answer we have learned to make, so'far, to the problem of getting ready. One who leaves school early is shut out from all the professions to begin with. He cannot be a lawyer, a doctor, a dentist, a teacher, a surveyer, a oreacher, an electrician, an engineer, ar a modern arch- itect without training or preparation in school. Of course, almost anybody can work with his hands, and we think that everybody ought to, to some extents but the bov who quits school early is very surelv condemning himSelf to manttal labor for the rest of his life. A 6irl may get a job in a five and ten cent store as soon as the law allows her to leave school, and a boy who finishes the el hth grade may strike the level of mixing drinks at a soda fountain - both perfectly respect; ble jobs for a summer vacation, but both likely to have tragic conse-
