Christensen yesterday, ~ believe the
one in halliday session has a slight
advantage, For this reason the half
day session plan has been instituted
for beginners in many schools where
there is ample room for full day ses
sions. The pupil who attends half
day has the attention of two teachers
for three full hours, and he can, there
fore, be kept constantly employed in
profitable work or recrea1ive activity
The first grade pupil who attends d
full day is in school three hours in
the forenoon and one hour and twenty
minutes in the afternoon under one
teacher. The attention of this teacher
must of necessity be shared between
the group Of children reciting and the
group or groups engaged in seat work
and under these conditions she cannot
at all times give as much direction to
each section as she might desire. Elk.

Of the little child in the first grade
(and perhaps in the second) is usually
commensurate with the amount of in.
dividual attention he receives from his
teacher. It will be seen, therefore, in
the light of these facts, why the little
folks in the first grade who attend
halliday sessions progress practically
to the full limit of their capacity fol
physical and mental development.
Second Grade Also.
Personally, am convinced that
second grade children will find a sim
liar plan to their advantage. In a few
cases we have held halliday sessions
in the second grade with most salts

ga few additional rooms will be
opened this year. 1t is hoped that this
