Columibii^ June 19. — Carryinf out its plan of reorganization ir^ forming regulations in accordance witfi^action taken at the last meeting of the state legislature, the subcommittee of the state hoard of education, meeting yes- teiTiay at the office of Governor Ibra C. Blackwood, agreed to recognize as high schools those institutions operat ing at least 32 weeks and ha\ing pu pils under instruction for a period of five hours and 37.5 minute.-^. « xclusive of recesses, each day. This mea.ure. as w-ell as a nunil>er of others included in the new re.'ru-j lations, was formulated in vi«>\v of] making possible the reductioq of operating costs in s<hools over tht .state, Aother change, which wil' e-specially effect the city schools, wa the incluiuon of the seventh gradi* a an integral part of the high schoi i organization. It provides that whert.. the seventh grade is included, eighth grade subjects offered in the seventh and eighth grades on a prorated num ber of cla.«s' hours may be given credit for four high school units to the individual pupils. Whether collf*ges and universities of the state will admit student.^ hold ing diplomas granted under the 32 weeks’ pro\ision remains a matter of conjecture. The fitale board of edu cation plans to have all diplopias marked so as to designate the pro-< visions under which they shall have been awarded and leave it up to the colleges and univ^-rsitie.-* to accept or' reject the holders. i j The regulations .■;p4-cify that "in: no case will a school organized under! the regulation of the state board of' education l)e iM*rmitted to svyitch af ter .January 1 froRi a term of 30 weeks to a term of 32 weeks after, having been organized and ajiproved' by the state Ixtard for a term of 30 wi*ekB.’’ Schools must apply for rvc-, ognition and a<*creditment by filling out the proper application forms prior to October 15 of each school year. The subcommittee made provisions whereby the laboratory pi'riods, for merly 90 rninutesi long, would be cut' to 50 minutes. This applies to such! subjects as home ec’ononiics, agricul-j ture and natural .science, qnd to be| effective provided equipment is suf-; ficient to ju.stify the shorter period.! r. was agreed that “all subjects, how ever, must be offered 50 minutes in the clear for the laboratory subjects to be so adjusted and projects re quiring home work must W required in the vocational work."

I Use of Ducking Stool ^ Common in Old Timet Tile ducking stool was never in the Kew England colonies very common. It was used more extensively In the Soofhem colonies, especially Virginia. But wherever it was u.«ed It was re-sened for one paipose; to ixijirove scolding wOtden. In New England there were not many places wliere tlie ducking stool was especially favoreil, though it may be that the magistrate who ordered a woman ducked, "when the weather hiN'ame more seasonabie." may have given a hint as to the rehsmn. j SONS 'I'here is a record of a woman wlio | A great man’s son usually, has a hard was unfortunately drowned while lie itime to gain recognition on his own Ing ducked.

Claim Definite Proof of Earth’s Age ‘Jimmy’’ Garfield is to be chairman of the resolutions committee at the Republican national convention. Rich ard Cleveland will make the nominat ing speech in the Democratic national convention for Governor Ritenie of Maryland. And Archie Roosevelt is leading the fight to limit government oid to veterans to those who actually suffered disability in the service. .Ar chie has a right to take that position, as he is himself a war casualty. Abraham .Lincoln’s son. Ro’oeit, was president of the Pullman com pany and a .«ucce.»«ful business where more so than in exhibitions of popular mis^liefs and prejudices. Just now, for example, motorhrts refuse to buy yellow* gasoline because of a widespread belief that it "gums up the motor,’’ Now, pure gasoline comes from the still with a slight yeD low tinge. To make it “water-white it has tp be bleached with sulphuric acid. That adds to the cost, but the motoring public pays it rather than buy it yellow. Red, pink, blue, green, any other colo^ of gasoline except yellow, is readily accepted. But because some motorist told another, who told anoth er, that yellow “gas” w^ bad for the valves, filling station folks will have nothing to do with it because they can’t sell it.

Dawes, returning from VVa.shington and the presidency of the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation, expresrcd the belief today that “we have reaebtti the turning point in the depression." The fiery Chicagoan said he had come back to attend to per.*unal busi- ne.'TS, that he would not (hscuss ru mors that he was to head the Civic opera, that he did not know whether he would take part in the fall cam paign and that he would nut discuss politics at this time.

He suggested, however, that municipalities presented the greatest' tax problem, since they had greatly ' ♦increased their indebtedness whereas the federal government had material ly decreased its indebtedness. • I Small busine.«s enterprises with low ; overhead exjienses were the ones. Dawes said, that seemed to be .show ing improvement, but he added that “in time, the larger ones must neces sarily follow.’’ ./ ^ “The recovery in the depretTsion will start from the bottom up, not from the’ top down,’’ lie said. “For the real evidences of reaction wt must look to the mass attitudes of our people and hot to the shifting opinions of certain sections of it. “For instance, I would attribute much more importance to tlie increase of electric power consumption in the country during the last two weekr than to Etock or bond quotations.
