Plans Under Way to Add an Academic Course of Three Yearn to the Prenent liranchen—liorougli Teachers Appoint ed—Some Change* Were Made. As announced In the TRIBUNE on Juno 29 last, Freeland is to take its place among the towns of the state where a higher education is given to the boys and girls who have passed through tho common branches. Tho first stop in what might be termed the now era of education in this town was taken by tho school board on Monday evening, when Prof. William S. Ilouck, B. S., of Berwick, was added to the faculty. The TRIBUNE has learned that the selection of Prof. Ilouck will be follow ed by the establishment of a high school of exceptional merit, one, which from the very*beginning will commend itself to every friend of education in the borough. It Is the intention of the directors to formulate au academic course of three years, which will embrace stud ios that shall place the school on par with any in the county, and will enable the youth of Freeland to obtain at home tho knowledge and learning, which, to secure heretofore, it were necessary to go elsewhere. STUDIES I.IKKI.Y TO BE TAUGHT. The act of legislature of June 28, 1895, contemplates the employment in every high school of at least one person legally certified to teach book-keeping, civics, general history, algebra, geom etry, trigonometry, plane-surveying, rhetoric, English literature, Latin in cluding Cscsor, Virgil and Cicero, and the elements of the following branches: Physics, chemistry, botany, geology and zoology, including entomology. Mr. Houck is legally qualified to teach all tho above branches, and tho school will likely have all or a greater part of these studies. This step has been decided upon after mature deliberation of the matter, and is in answer to the repeated and sincere solicitations of a number of the most prominent people of town who have sons and daughters now fitted to enter a high school. The time has come when Freeland must step boldly forward and show that its people are as progressive on educa tional lines as in other mattors, and to delay a year longer would be doing an injustice to the boys and girls of town who aro now ready and qualified by the excellent training given them in tiie common brandies to enter those ad vanced studies which are taught only in an up-to-date high school. PRINCIPAL AND VICE PRINCIPAL. The high school, as stated before, will l>o placed in charge of Prof. Houck as principal. Prof. E. F. llanlon, the present supervising principal, will be vico principal. From what can be learned of Mr. Ilouck as a teacher and from what is known of Mr. Hanlou in the same profession, Lhu two should make a combination which, witli the as sistance of the remaining members of the corps, will soon place the Freeland public schools on a plane to which our citizens can point with pride. Another matter which the directors have considered in making these prep arations is the opportunity that is here at present to make Freeland an educa tional centre for the surrounding towns. The several villages hereabouts contain many boys and girls whose parents wish them to receive an advanced education and at the same time have them reside at home. With a high school in Free land conducted on tho standard intend ed there are sufficient out-of-town pupils ready to apply for aduiission here and pay tuition fees which will reimburse the board for any extra outlay that may be necessary. NO INCREASE IN TAXATION. In any event, there can be no increas ed taxation. Witli an additional state appropriation and economical manage ment of the revenues tho high school will cost the people of Freeland a sum insignificant when coinparod with the good that should result from its estab lishment. The high school will be located in tho Daniel Coxe building on Washing ton street. It Is ioarned from a reliable source that the board will In tho near future, probably at the close of the next term, remodel the third floor of this commodious structure. Recitation rooms will bo formed and all the neces sary scientific apparatus will bo in stalled. Tho cost of this would be very light, as the building is well adapted for the alterations intended. GOOD NKWH FOR TEACHERS. It has also been learned that the di rectors propose to establish a system in regard to teachers by which positions will be retained and promotions made solely on a basis of merit. All other considerations, it is claimed, will be of secondary importance in making si-lec tions hereafter. It Is believed that such a system will act as an incentive to teachers to put forth their best cf FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1899. forts in behalf of the schools and will in a short while elevate them to the highest level attainable. SKETCH OF TUB HEW PRINCIPAL. In this connection a brief introduc tion of Prof. Ilouck to our readers may be given. The new principal is a grad uate of Dickinson college, Carlisle, where ho received the degree of Bach elor of Science. He is about thirty years of age. 110 taught in Berwick schools seven years, the last two of which wore served as vice principal of the high school. Before agreeing to his election n majority of the board Investigated his character and ability, some of them visiting Berwick for this purpose, and the result was more than satisfactory. He is highly recommended as a teacher and disciplinarian by the Berwick board, and as a gentleman of ability, good judgment and the possessor ol executive tact every prominent resident of Berwick has vouched for him. The school from which ho comes holds an enviable position in educational circlos. Graduates of Berwick high school are admitted to Bucknell, Dick inson, Cornell and other leading col leges without examination, the school having attained such a high mark that a certificate from It Is a passport to any institution of learning in this and neighboring states.
