Board members heard a proposal to revise the high school curriculum to fit capable pupils, with a committee to study the plan outlined by Superintendent Bauman. The report details credit requirements for graduation, department offerings, and the move to base courses on departmental choices to suit individual student needs.
The document outlines grade based offerings in Science and Commercial departments, with one credit courses in physiography and commercial geography, two credit bookkeeping tracks, and stenography. It proposes shifting fifth grade shop work to cardboard construction in the classroom, adding cardboard construction to the fourth grade, and moving shop activities to upper grades to free time for special work. It requests referral to the committee on course of study for approval to implement in the new semester.
The town spreads a packed week with church societies, a health board session, a Knights of Pythias installation, a West Union Telegraph manager trip, a civil suit filing by Wilson & Schmiedeskamp for 1600 dollars, and resignations at Mendon Congregational church. Also reported are stolen bicycle incidents and numerous weekly gatherings at St Pauls Evangelical and Cathedral parishes.
Probate Court records show the will of Charles Turner of Corcord township admitted to probate Tuesday. The estate is left to his wife Mildred E. Turner with the stated provisions and beneficiaries as reflected in the filing.
