a Question for the school nonrh

Would 1t not be advisable for the school
board of this county to consider the advis-
ability of frightening the school year? The
schools are now in session only about $50
Of the SG5 days. and the daily sessions are
only five hours each. including the half
hour for recess. From this statement it is
apparent that a great deal of time Is given
up to holidays and vacation. This extraor-
binary loss OF time does not make a great
deal OF difference to children whose pa
rents are well enough off to keep them at
school until they graduate, but it is against
those children who are forced from ne
cessity to become wage workers as soon
as they are old enough to be valuable as
employees.
The school houses arr the property OF
the public and the teachers are paid by the
year. There is no reason. therefore, why
the schools should not be kept open
greater number of days in the year 1t is
certainly much better for the children to
attend school four or five hours day for
most part Of the year than to be allowed to
run about the streets, particularly as it
would cost the county nothing to keep the
schools open for a greater number of days
We are satisfied that there would he no
protest from the great majority of parents
If the school board should inaugurate a
reform I'm this matter. In fact, it is pretty
certain they would approve a reform of
that sort.
The holidays are numerous and the vaea-
ton is long We do not know how long the
school year in other cities is, but we ven
ture to say it would be hard to name one
in which it Is as short as it ia in Savannah.
We think parents have a right to protest
against giving up so much time to holt
days and vacation, and it is probable some
of them would protest II they thought 1t
would result in change for the better
A largo amount is spent for the schools
Why not get the greatest possible benefit
for the expenditure?
