NEW SCJIOOLCODE Farm Vocational Course May Be Added 'to Inde pendence High School u, hersh The addition of one teacher to tho high school, who would specialize on vocational education along agri cultural lines ia a project which is receiving consideration by tho board of education and others who are in terested in the progress and welfare of the school. K.'K. Elliott of the Oregon Agri cultural college was in Independence Monday for the purpose of sizing up the situation. Under an arrangement of this kind one-half of the expense of the additional teacher would be borne by the federal and state gov ernment and the other half by the district. Mr. Klliott gave a short talk at the high school in the afternoon, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the stu dents and a few others who were present. In alluding to the advance ment which is being made in edu cation, he aaid that the old method was the three "R'a" reading, 'riting and 'rithmutic. The modern way, ha thinks, should he three "IPs" hand, head and heart. Mr. Klliott is of the opinion that the addition of the agricultural voca tional training would not only be of material benefit to the pupila here now, but would draw sufficient pupils from outside districts to more than meet the cost of the district's portion of the expanse. President Walker of the Retail Merchants' association is anxious to have Mr. Elliott meet the business men, and others, and is arranging for a get-together meeting at the Hotel Beaver in about two weeks, with Mr. Elliott pesent, in order that the matter may be thoroughly explained.
