spnco for ali the scholars Of the city; aud how
to obylate the trouble, Ia tho question OF para
mount Importance. Allow me to suggest,
through the medium of TIE Tn1nuNE, to ouI
School Board, that the crowded Bchoo1s be ro-
iieyed Of their surplua In tho following manner:
Let there DO two sessions OF school oach day, Of
four hours each, instead Of tlreo hours US ut
present. one-half of tho scholars to attend in
tho forenoon, aud the rest In tho afternoon aos-
sion; tho schools to begin at q. m, to close ut
noon as at present, and tho afternoon session to
begin at and closing at s.. In this manner tho
scholars can all DO accommodated, and at tho
same time there eau be made trial Of tho idea
that our sohoIRrs arc being too hnrd-workcd.
Lot tho number OF studies bo diminished in
proportion to the number Of hours, and In that
way no shall lmow'whother We are orowding too
fast, by comparing tho SUCCESS Of the two claHscs
Of schools. There is worry generally
opinion among our beat thinkers that wo are
pushing our scholars too fast for their benefit,
either mentally or physically, and / csteem this
good opportunity to golvetho problem.
i It may be objected that tho teachora would
find fault with this arrangement, making them
perform eight hours work i day instoad Of six;
but, it need be, their salaries can bo raised in
proportion to the increase OF hours, aud thuH
meet that excuse; but by all means let LIZ ind
room for all our little onos.
