The opening of the local cannery haa
been reporle I for some Mine, but the
onion were delayed and the department
remained closed. The opening of the
cannery means the reopening of the
tinning department, the enlargement of
the box factory and an Increase In
wrappers, luggers and killing gangs. For
some time past the Kansas City house
has been buying cattle and shipping here
In South Omaha to be killed anl boned
after which the meat was returned to
Kansas City to he parked for shipment.
The new order here will mean that
cudshy will be In the market ogsln for
llvo stock.
It was said yesterday that Ihe an
nouncement that Cudaliy had reopened
the cannery here would be hailed as a
godsend hy many of the poor packing
house men who have been out of work
so long.
Point raem Int rodoceil.
Keeping in step with the times, Prin
cipal R. W. Moore of Ihe South Omaha
Hlh school haa launched tor public dis
cussion, a new method of graduating
student from the local high school. The
name of Ihe new plan Is "point system
of graduation."
I'nder Ihe new regime, student may
graduate on 2,So0 points. In other words,
equivalent to an average of per cent
In thirty-two aubjorls. The present syn
tem requires that the average student
have at least a final grade of TO per cent
in thirty-two subjects. Cndcr the new
system, the advantage la that If the
student makes a special effort and get
R higher percentage In grades, it would
mean that he could graduate on less
than thirty-two subject.
The object In view is to make the
grades of the average student show
quality as well as quantity of work. The
fact that a student could, by dint of harl
work, attain an average of S5 per cent
In thirty subject during th four-year
course und then graduate with only
thirty subjects actually dealt with, la
enough to instill an Incentive la the stu
dent for harder and more comprehensive
work nnd henc better the vocational
side of the high school courses. Again,
even with the number of studies re
quired for graduation leasened by two,
the standard required would be 10 per
cent higher.
Principal Moore In speaking of th
proposition said. "Th new syatem,
although undoubtedly ahead or the times
and aheaJ of anything proposed at the
recent state teachers' convontlon In
Omnha, Is still possibly the most prnc
Ileal offered as yet for any modern high
school of this state."
