WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1923 Tim ohegon statesman, sat.tt.t, o?j:gon ..iliHSCHO GHITIGS HEARD Churchill Issues Statement J Explanatory ' of Course ' : i - of Study The fact that many Oregon youths jnust become breadwin ners immediately after leaving high school, without going on to college,' is the consideration that has resulted in many graduates from standard high , schools not being prepared for entrance ex i anvlnations' to colleges and uni versities. This 4 condition has caused ; some ' criticism to be leveed at- high ' schools; and the situation ts explained in a letter that J. A. Churchill, state super intendent, has written to all high -school principals in the state. Mr. ChnrchU says; however, that prin cipals should have a knowledge of the college and r university en trance requirements so the high school courses ofj the pupils' may be " shaped accordingly If desired. Many Critics "Heard " :f "Many- criticisms ' hav come to this office this f last fall which were directed at the work done fci ; the standard high ' schools of Oregon said Mr. " Churchill.

Parents-and friends of Ore gon hig hschool graduates cannot understand how' a high school can be standard and, at the same time, graduate students who do not meet the entrance requirements of colleges and universities. ' "This letter is written with the hope that full publicity will be given ta it through r the high schools of the state. J We desire to make It clear that Oregon's high school" course 'of study was not built with the j idea that all high school graduates should meet the entrance requirements ' of a college or university.! There are many students that j must" leave school after graduation 'from the high .school, and such, students wish to ' secure a course in the high school that will best pre pare them as breadwinners after graduation. - In the larger high schools especially where there is much freedom in the choice of electives, many students are grad uated who cannot enter a stand ard college without being condi tioned. .; -. j ' Z "" C, , -"However, we believe that a high school principal Should know just the subjects that a , high school student must Complete in order that he may j meet the en trance requirements, j " It should be; the business of someone on the high school faculty to inform each student from year to year: Just how hisi'eoUrse Is shaping 'up for with this a marked difference in the - 'LKJ. .Jill ..- Ill One kind detonates a crash against the piston head delivers all the power in a single blow.

Then, as the terrible import of her words struck me, I caught her arm fiercely. i "You found this in the hands of the baby of the man across the road?" I shrilled. "Tfien he must have carried off Junior. Oh-h! I could not repress the shriek which tore through the house and brought a swift staccato of femin ine feet down the stairs.

The convic tion had swept over, me that at last I was on the track of Junior's fate, and that the girl before me was- involved In It. For "only too distinctly I remembered that when my little lad, after bringing me his drawing, had started back to the corncrib studio for his "Dan- zie's picter," there had peeped, as ! always, above the pocket' of his little romper, the familiar out lines of his beloved celluloid "bumble fish."
