/ Members Of the board Of education
are reticent about discussing the
matter, but one of them said today:
This additional month Of school
would mean from $4,000 to $4,000
additional expense to the city each
year. 1t would also mean that the
schools would open on September
and close about July 1. I am in
doubt whether or not the scholars
would accomplish better results by 30
long a school year, but do not care
to express my views on the matter
until 1t is discussed in the board
meeting.
ut is true We have lost some of
our best teachers to Seattle, where
there are 10 months of school. Among
those who have gone are Professor
Reid, formerly principal of the Haw-
thorne school: Miss Cooper Of the
Washington school. Miss Harris of
the Hawthorne school. Miss Wiese of
the Bryant school and others.
II have been Informed that about
80 per cent OF the teachers in the city
favor the 10 months school year.
''The matter will probably come up
for discussion at the next meeting Of
the school board"
