The United States is gathering cir

Strictest secrecy is understood to be

SMITH-HUGHES COURSE
IS REORGANIZED FOR
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
Conference Effects Change by
Which General Industrial
Training Will Supplant For
mer Trade Unit System.
Reorganisation of the Smith-Hughes
Industrial courses at Pendleton high
school so a to permit students desir
ing to graduate to take this work, has
been effected. A recent conference
was held here between local officials
and E. E. Elliott, state director of vo
cational education, and Ftank Shep
herd, supervisor of trades and indus
tries at O. A. C, which resulted in the
new order.
. A general Industrial course will sup
plant the old trade unit course former
ly given. lrnder the new system a
student may spend his half day In one
of the two branches of work offered
nd the other half pursuing high
school subjects entitling him to grad
uate. Formerly the course required
full time In the gas engine and tractor
work with study on related subjects.
No provision was made for graduation
under the old course with credits per
mitting college entrance.
Building trades and metal trades
are available under the new system.
The subjects offered are designed to
give a student such instruction that he
might meet and solve any problem
which would arise on a farm and also
serve ss a good basis for the college
engineering courses.
The reorganization was made neces-
sary because of dissatisfaction over the', be,, by hundreds of fires, as
ronfinliur nature of the old course.
Efforts were made in the change to
give opportunity for Industrial educa
tion to a larger numoer or ooys, to
broaden the course of study and to
effect economy. The third point is
carried by belief that more students
will enroll, thus lowering the per
capita cost. Last spring no boys toon
the work, owing to its restrictions.
Orville Reeves, manual training
teacher last year, will supervise the
iew. Smith-Hughes course, assisted by
oy Hammersley, a graduate of O. A.
in mechanical engineering. Bom
are experienced men. Mr. Hammers
ley has been operating a foundry here

for the local schools and give part
