Cadartilia Bakery COLUMBUS, OHIO. “ A milestone in the history o f ad­ ministrative methods in the public schools o f Ohio’’ was established here, according to Director o f Education Vernon M» Riegel, when the special committee appointed to study the pro­ posed system o f classification o f pu­ pils filed its voluminous report. Tho report follows a study o f the elementary school system of the state. for several years. In the report the "grades system" is termed a “ lock step.” The com­ mittee expresses the opinion that the report "affords a basis for breaking up the lock step of the grades.” Although $ie committee did not make specific recommendations, it ad­ vanced suggestions, which, according to Director Riegel, were made with tho_ hope that they would act as a basis fo r a movement to adopt a dff- forent method in elementary schools of-the state. Most significant o f the recommen­ dations, according to Director Riegel, was adoption o f “ subject classifica­ tion” which Would effect a complete remodelling o f the entire elementary school system. It would mean, for example, that a pupil would attead fifth grade arithmetic, sixth grade ge-* ography, and perhaps fourth grade reading, according to his achieve­ ment* in tho various subjects, instead of being arbitrarily placed in fourth, fifth or sixth grade: Grade classification was termed' a "coarse method o f administering the curriculum,” while the committee held that the “ same arguments in favor o f subject classification which had led to such promotion in high schools may be made in support o f tho same procedure in elementary schools.” The Committee further suggested that at any time when a pupil reached the point where he is either ghead in several subjects or behind in others, in the grade in which hp is enrolled, that he be “ reclassified.” This mean* ttyat he would be put either forward or back, into “ a grade to which hi# ability more nearly corresponds ” , Lumber Company Witt Erect New Offie* Mr. Anril W righ T o f the Cedarville Lumber Co., announces that the com­ pany will start at once to erect a new office building to take the place o f he one destroyed by fire last we*k.
