THE AUGUSTA HERALD THREE COURSES FOR THE TUBMAN HIGH SCHOOL At. the meeting of the Board of! Education Saturday morning the committee on high schools brought in a report of considerable interest. It recommended that the studies in the Tubman High School be arranged in three courses, a college preparatory course, a general course, and a com mercial course. The reorganization of the Richmond Academy as told of In .nc Herald Friday is also gone Into, and other matters of interest touched upon. The report in full follows: The committee on high schools begs leave to report lu relation to the Tubman High School, that a vacancy has occurred in the department of English occasioned by the resigna tion of Miss Powell. To fill this po sition they recommend Miss Theodora Scruggs, of Nashville, Tout)., a young lady who has had college preparation! for this particular department, sev-; oral years experience in teaching and who presents to the committee a rec ord of unexceptional excellence. Tubman High School. The committee also recommends from I his time forth that the course of study lu the Tubman High School be arranged In three courses, one to j be known as the college preparatory! course, designed to prepare students! for admission to college and arranged! according to the requirements for cobj lege entrance; the second to be| known as a general course, arranged| for those young students who do not! intend to pursue their studies beyond the high school; the third to be known as a commercial course, ar ranged with reference to a business education, and including typewriting and stenography and bookkeeping. These courses in many particular* are identical, but each one has spe cial studies that give it distinctive features. The arrangement is in com plete accord with the modern idea of a high school course of study, and is a step forward in the development of our local schools. The present facul ty of the Tubman High School will be able to carry on the course of study thus outlined, the only additional .eftcher needed bt*ing one in the com mercial department. If the board adopted the recommendation of the committee, authority should be grant ed to employ a trained and experi enced teacher in the department of; stenography and typewriting and bookkeeping. Your committee also reports that on July Ist the administration of the! Richmond Academy passed into the hands of the Board of Education.! Your committee desires to raise the course of study of the Richmond Academy by raising the requirements 1 for entrance and increasing the re quirements for graduation, in mil ac cord with the demands of our suite j colleges. The academy should pre-! purt students for the state univer-j sltv on the classical side of educa-| tton. and for the Georgia School of] T.*chnoiogy on the Industrial side of; education. Whatever demands these! two institutions place upon the state! high schools should be fully met by] the Richmond Academy. Academy Course. Therefore vour committee proposes, a course of study that is higher than! the course that has been in use at th< academ; and necessitating the raising of the requirements for en- ! trance Your committee recommends that no student be allowed to enter the academy who has not completed the seventh year of the public schools, and that a promotion curd from the seventh grade be considered, at least for this coming year, as an entrance card to the academy. Your committee also recommends that the teaching at the academy bq upon the tkl iartmenta ' l plan through out, each member of the faculty hav ing certain studies to teach in all grades. This plan Is generally pur sued in most high schools ,and is by far the most satisfactory for students and teachers. This plan will organize the academy into five departments or chairs, as follows: 1. Department of Ancient and Mod ern Languages. 2. Department of Mathematics and Science. 3. Department of English and Re lated Branches. 4. Department of History and Re lated Branches. 5. Department of Business. Bach of these departments will have a thoroughly planned course of study, pursued according to the gen erally outlined requirements for all first class high schools and will be the standard toward which the stu dents of the academy must ultimately If not immediately attain. The Teachers. Your committee also recommends that the session of the academy be made to correspond with the opening and closing of the public schools, that the regular holidays and all other regulations and orders of the board extend to the academy i a the same way as to the other high schools un der the charge of the board ,and that in the amount and collection of tui tion fees, in the payment of teachers salaries and In the general conduct of the school, the academy be made to oenform at once to the regulations 1 of tne board And to all orders of the high school committee. Yur committee now recommends the following teachers and salaries: \ Tubman High School. T. H. Garrett, principal; |2,000; Miss 1 A. Dorothy Hains, $800; Miss Lucy! Flynn, $800; Miss Ada G.

QUEEN OF ITAEY FAST RECOVERING PARlS—There is gratifying news concerning the health of Queen Mar gherita of Italy. The attack of neu ralgia have now ceased.

BANK Capital and Surplus - $125,000.00 Resources - - $1,000,000.00 nWIS THEATRES 111 RAISE FUICES PARlS.—Theatre managers have been plotting in secret here, and have now decided upon a sort of coup dritat. Henceforth the price of every seat i a their playhouses will be raised ±0 per cent. The managerial combination thus intends in future charging the public' a tax which, for nearly a century, has been paid by the lessees. Ten per cent on the gross receipts of every theatrical performance in Paris is handed over every evening to the Assistance Publique, whose in spectors nightly attend every play house. This department of public charities is thus almost solely sup ported by the theatres. IGORROTE MADE AUTOMOBILE TESTS Lost Wax Art of thts Orient Used To Deter mine Winner of Con tinental Contest. SEATTLE.—The civilized man is in some ways less advanced than his savage brother, is testified by the fact, that the services of Antero, an Igor rote wax worker, had to be called upon to determine whether the front axle of the Ford No. 2 car which won the race from New York to the Alas ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, was the same axle with which the car start ed. Under the complaints of the Shaw mut drivers, -who alleged that the Ford car’s axle was broken and had to be replaced in Kansas, it became necessary to take wax casts of the identification marks on this axle to compare them with the marks known to be genuine. "If a man can make a better book, preach "a better sermon or make a better mouse "trap than his neighbor, though he build "his house in the woods the world will "make a beaten track to his door.” _ —Emerson, The author's conclusion would not be true if he did not presuppose an audience that would advertise the good news. Good and persistent advertising in the Daily and Sunday Herald will not only make the work of your sales force and the testimony of satisfied customers of your store more effective, but it will bring new customers and new trade to your store that otherwise you would never reach.

At this moment they recalled that the Igorrotes pos sess the lost wax art of the Orient, in which .they are extremely proficient. One of the most intelligent of the natives of the Philippine Islands who have a village on the Bay Streak, was chosen and told to go to work, i aking his wax and small kit of tools with nim in his head basket, the lit tle Igorrote entered into his task. The marks which he reproduced in wax consist of a number of small holes, seven in all, arranged In a cer tain mathematical ratio to each other. These marks can only be made byf the stamp possessed by the starters in New York and furnish a means of identification that is absolutely suf?. The little Igorrote, who stands but little over five feet in height, sat down on his haunches in front of the car. He cleaned the marks In ques tion carefully and then, after drying them he inserted his wax. After the cast had taken sufficient time to harden on the cold steel. It was earefu..y removed by a peculiar ly shaped copper instrument. The cast showed perfectly the location of each one of the marks of the identifi cation stamp. This was repeated several time 3 with success. Then a number of casts were taken of marks on other parts of the machine known to be genuine. The matter has not yet been defi nitely settled. The casts are in the hands of Josiah Collins, chairman of the committee on special events. The marks will be compared and any dis crepancy will be noted. NOTICE—SALE OF PROPERTY.
