The Year Round School Term.

Educational leaders are still discuss
ing with unabated interest the PROPOSE
tion put forward by Thomas L. Burt
recently In the Independent-namely.
that the schools should be open all the
year around, Sundays and the few
public holidays alone excepted. Mr..
Burt's idea is that this would leave
about 300 school days, which would
vary in length of session from three
hours in summer to five or six in win
ter. He says that no educator viii
deny that this distribution Of school
time would enable the pupils to cover
more ground and make much greater
progress than under the existing plan.
One Of the principal objects gained
would be, in his opinion, to keep the
children Off the streets in the summer
time and to make their development
steady and continuous The fact that
most parents are glad to send their
children to summer schools is regarded
as favorable He proposes to make
the pay Of the teachers accordingly
higher. ''in money and not in holidays
and vacations" He argues, further
