He also called at. tactics to the tact that some of the? pupils would rise higher than positions . ' as mere letter writers and. they should have, the opportunity of workins up to secretarial position. He had found that as a rule. in his experience. sten— osraphers were not of much use with- out at least some high school trainlnx.f He believed. therefore. that the four. years' commercial course should re- main as it is. and that some otheri twoyesr arrangement be also provid- ed. ile stated further that the High School committee would be unwillin to give the full diploma of the schoo for anything less than a full course. A certificate. however, might be [ranted at the end of a two years' course. John ii. Lawrence wished to empha~ also what Dr. Macfarlsnd had said. The business school stenoai‘aphers. without a high school training. are not very serviceable. Dr. Clune felt the same way. Dr. Maciarlsnd then raised the fur. titer question. as to whether a two years‘ course should also be provided lnconnectldn with the general course. He had doubts, however. as to whether this ought to be‘undertallen during the present year. when many new courses were being started. and many new teachers being broken in. Dr. Tracey felt that there should be such a course. to pro‘vlds for children who could not continue for four years. it was decided that the matter of a two years‘ general course should be left over for another year. with the understanding that the faculty might arrange with individual pupils to take . a two years’ course whenever four years was out of the question. Mr. Wheeler was in favor of the pro- position to leave the four years‘ cone merclsl course. with the understand- ing that some of the third and fourth year subjects should be transferred to the first and second year, in order to make the first two years of such a nature that a pupil might take this two years. and receive a moderate commercial education. for which a con tliicstc should be granted. . The High School committee is to confer with instructor Ripley. of the commercial department. and Vice-Prin- cipal Ferry. to erred“ the commer- cial course in this way. by vote of the meeting. Mr. Wheeler moved that this action be taken. and the vote was unanimous- ly carried. Dr. George 8. Kendall rose after the motion had been carried. and stated that he wished to speak upon it. Upon this, Dr. Mocfsriand request- ed that the vote be reconsidered, and . the question held open until Dr. Ken- dall should have the opportunity of ex- pression his views. as llr. Kendall. he knew. was deeply Interested in the school. Dr. Kendall was not in favor of having any general cum. , They had given It up in Stamford because so few pupils iOok it. in reply, Dr. Maciarisnd stated that whatever might be the case in Stam- ford, our constituency was somewhat different. and we have about as many pupils taking the general course as any other. and more than most of the others. Dr, Macfarlsnd said the High school was not primarily for college preparation. but for work and life. Dr. Kendall then recommended that biology should be added to the classical and scientific courses. Whereupou Dr. Mactsrland explained that these two courses were entirely subject to the demands of the colleges. and the High school must meet these demands. The colleges would not permit us to offer two partial courses in science. We almarly provide physics. and it would be impossible to divide and offer pan llnl qualifications in physics and blol» oily. Dr. Kendall claimed that it had not been included in one of the other courses. but Dr. Maciariand showed him that it had in both. in answer to lir. Kendall's statement that all pupils should take biology. ill". uncfarlsnd explained that they at- roady bad this opptmunity. Those tsltlns the general and commercial courses would receive it in the High school. These takins the college courses would receive it in college. He explained that in this matter we must simply follow the college requirements and that as a matter of fact. our pupils were now taking blsh standlns in the colleges and scientific schools. because we mncsntrated instead of scatterins. Alter lir. Kendall had stated his view of the case, the vote was again taken. and the courses recommended by the High School committee were basin unanimously adorned. with the provie ion that the commercial course he so brilliant! that pupils mlsht study for two years and receive a certificate. or four years for the resular diploma. The matter oi High school tuition was discussed. and lir. Tracey was in favor of raising it. lllr. Maciariand tell that we bail imiler wait a year or so, until we had gotten the procession of outcttown scholars well under way. He stated that the amount received last year for tuition amounted to about one-sixth of the total expanses of the «boot, . On behalf of the High sieitool corn. mince. fir.
