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: \

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

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.

_ —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.
Many, many thousands of people in this city and more and
more thousands in Georgia and South Carolina read The
Herald year after year because they like it. f
Hundreds of advertisers use the Daily and Sunday Her
ald's advertising columns, year after year, because it pays.

dUAUA X, JULT 11.
The exposition authorities were in
a quandary to know wno could do
this delicate work. 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.
