EVEN Established January 20, 1836) 3c Per Copy ALTON, TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1926 Member of The Associated Pfesd ALTON HIGH IS PIONEER SCHOOL IN NEW COURSE One of Four Institutions Represented at Washington Convention Offering "Manners." FULL STUDY IN PERSONALITY Name is Misleading, as Study is Designed to Create Sense of Moral Values. Alton High School Is a pioneer among high schools ot the; United States In adopting the study of "manners" as a regular feature of the course ot Instruction. There were only four schools represented-at the 1 (meeting of tho high school principals section of the National Education As- In C. last which have such a study, Principal Wheeler, who arrived homo Saturday reports. So new is the instruction in so- called "manners" that, no definite name has been adopted as yet to apply to tho subject.

In some schools it is referred to 'as a course in per- development, In others as character building, training in conventions and social relations, or mere, ly as ethics. But with further development, Principal AA heeler thinks, a definite name will bo worked put, one which will not be misleading. The object of the course adopted this year at Alton High School he says Is to prepare the pupils for the problems of everyday to teach them how to get along with their fellow men. It takes up proprieties and conventions of society, and alms to elevate, tho children's sense of moral values and to build up their personality so that thsy may better succeed In life. Discussion of the matter at tho Washington convention was brought up by Dr.

AA C. Reavls, former superintendent, of schools in Alton, now principal ot the Chicago University school, a' school where ideas In education are tried out. Principal Reavls urged the Importance, of a course to teach ethics, and calleoior reports from principals in schools having such a high, school Only four delegates vflare able to give first hand opinions, 'arid it adopted a course the that''sucli uVtAiilrl rieVnlrin'hrt anft Patent Sought on Vanity Case By Man David Wood has Hied complaint with the. Patent Office at Washington against the Elgin Engine ft Engraving for recovery of a patented automatic vanity case which, ho alleges, was taken over by tho company, a PJttsfield, concern, while ho was In their employ. Wood today said ho designed the automatic vanity case while Working at PHtsfield and submitted It to company officials.

After ho had been accepted, ho said, he was told he would be paid a certain sum. To this he objected and has applied to the Patent Office, with the possibility that later the matter will bo threshed out In Federal Court at Springfield. Ifhe sura which company officials offered was less than a thousand dollars, according to "Wood, while.the patent has possibilities of earning thousands, he believes. He Is represented by a Pittsfleld 'attorney and also has the financial backing of a Perry, capitalist. Wood Is a son of Mr.

and Mrs. William Wood of 260!) Powhattan street. He plans to take up permanent residence here with his wife and their three children. Wood today said that when legal phases of the matter are cleared up ho Intends to establish hli manufacturing plant here. FLUORESCEIN TEST URGED IN TURNER TRACT Plan Designed to Determine Flow of Water From Underground Sink holes on the Bluffs.

sitiructlon should bo HOLIDAY PLANS ARE CONSIDERED BY LEGION POST Observance of Memorial Day and Fourth of July to be Held by Former Service Men. Another-matter was discussed i 1 (he convention was that of requiring a certain amount ot vocational education for'- all high school pupils except those who are preparing for college entrance requirements. The object is the same as with the courses in manners or ethics, namely to bet ter prepare pupils- for practical prob lems of everyday. life. Four high reuresented at "the meeting, Principal AVheelcr says, were found to require vocational work.

Among theni was school. The Alton school, Principal AA'heel- cr points out, now requires all pupils to take vocational work for one year, unless they are preparing for college and must devote special attention to college entrance requirements. For boys, ten weeks work Is required, upholstering, mechanical drawing, sheet rnetal work, and wood, working. For girls, ten Work is required in millinery, 'cooking, sewing and househoTtTYnanagement. AVlth completion ot the new High school here, it is planned to increase the vocntttm' subjects offered for both girls and boys, making the courss of tho greafeSfliosslble practical benefit.

There Is a general trend all over the country to. make the high school course give practical Instruction for' pupils who cannot attend a college or university, Principal Wheeler says, and not merely to prepare those who will attend a high school after completing the high school course.

No positive results having been so- curod In an effort made yesterday 'to trace the flow of underground water from sinkholes on the bluffs at a point south of tho Turner Tract where It is desired to locate" a sewage disposal plant, state engineers have recommended Schwoab that to City additional Engineer tests be made with a very powerful dye known as flouresceln. One part of this dye In a million ports of water can bo detected with tho naked eye, it is said, while one In 10 million parts can be detected with a flouroscope. A quantity of flouresceln will be deposited in tho sinkholes and by taking tests ot water from tho Mississippi below it is thought that the point where the water, passing cream; Lacey Johnson, root beer; Frank Russell, William.

Before giving approv al to the sewer plans the Health De partment has required that tests be made to determine the course of water entering sinkholes on the bluffs If water from the sinkholes does not affect.the water in the Mississippi near the pumping station, under stood there -will be no objection to the sewer plane.

'No trace of color could bo noted in the Mississippi, or did any colored water exude from fissures in the face of' the bluffs. The state engineers with City Engineer Schwaab and assistants walked up and down tho bluffs and along the river near tho pumping station until they were completely tired out, but what becomes of Water passing down the sinkholes remains a complete mystery.
