A new plan is to be tried this year, and that Is to make the short courses continu ous for two or three years. This will make them very similar to the regular courses, in that they will correspond to the various years of the four year course. It is believed by the authorities in charge that more can be accomplish al by this method. Extensive preparations are being made to insure the success of the course. An'attrnctive bulletin has been published and distriblited, as well as overtwenty.five thousand handbills and postern. and a record-breaking attend ance Is looked for.
