Refusal TO change Thanksgiving

OF the Committee on Resolutions IL
set forth that inasmuch as there seems
to be 10 special reason WHY Thursday

causes embarrassment in the public

MAKING TRANSIT
EASY FOR CHILD
Miss Bonner Discusses Vital Re-
lations Between Primary and
and kindergarten.

Vital Relations Between the KINDER
garten and the Primary school" We're
discussed yesterday morning before
the Department Of Primary Teachers
and the Virginia kindergarten Union,
in joint session. by Miss Augusta r.
Bonner. of Columbia University. Tha
meeting was held in this manner for
the very purpose of discussing some
way of bringing these two departments
closer together.
The diff cuities encountered in bridS-
ing the differences between any two
departments OF school work are the
fault OF both sides. said Miss Bonner.
IL is natural for each teacher to map
out her own work in her own way,
V ithoUt regard to the limi citations and
peculiar sphere of the other. For In
stance. in the kindergarten the child
is often free TO move as he p!eases,
and his chair is taken away when play
time comes. In the elementary de-
partment, when he is but one year
oder. he is kept TO his seat, his
studies are different his recreation
Is different. He has 10 unlearn much
before he can begin to get the benefit
Of his new situation
\ little more training for the i'm
mediate future in the kindergarten
and little more socializinS in the
primary school, were sa' d by Miss
Bonner 10 be advisable.
she told of "A school in the North

Miss Bonner said she liked noise

WHAT was termed brilliant and
original treatment of an ancient sub-
jet was the address of Clement c.
Read. of the John Marshall High
school. before the second annual meet.
ing of the Classical Association OF Viz

was: The Division of High School

Section
Approving such division. Mr.. Read
made a speech which caused his audi
tors to sit up and take notice. He was
warmly commended for his effort
While his discussion was necessarily
largely technical. his principal argu
ment was that such action would al
low a wider range of reading for those
pupils who DO not intend to go TO col
leee.
There was good attendance Of elias
sicists when the meeting was called
TO order in the music room. The chair
man. Professor Thomas FitzHugh. OF

GET
BIG COMMISSIONS
Trustees Feel Their Compensa-
ton Is Exorbitant for Han
ding School Funds.

City and county treasurers get
far too much money for the service
they perform in handling school funds.
Such was the conviction generally ex-
pressed at the final meeting of the
Sehool Trustees Association. AS a
matter Of fact. in some Of the larger
counties and in some OF the cities, the
treasurer receives for sitting in his
Office. keeping a few books and issu-
ing a few warrants. merely incidental
TO his income from handling the gen.
eral fund, commissions which exceed
the compensation Of the division super
intendent for giving all, or nearly all.
of his time to the school work.
Where school funds are large. treas
urers get from $500 to a much larger
sum for merely handling the fund. The
schools are the losers.
How to remedy IL the trustees knew
not. They felt the treasurers have
the ear of the Legislature, while the
school officials have not. Only last
session the treasurers. il was said, got
a bill through, affecting some Of them
in increase OF their commissions from
school funds in a way evidently not
by the original law.
The question of compensation for
trustees was discussed. but no action
was taken. Some felt that to make the
Office attractive by prescribing re-
would increase the de-
mand for election Of trustees by the
people, most undesirable result in
the minds of the trustees.

IELLSL0vE STORY
OF ANCIENT DAYS
Propertius and His LADY Fair
Discussed by DR.. Kirby
Flower Smith.

The address of DR.. Kirby Flower
Smith, Of Johns Hopkins University,
before the meeting Of the Classical As
of the John Marshall nigh School yes
terday morning. was real love story
1t was a study of the works of Proper
thus. one of the later Latin poets,
whose time bridged the Christian era
and that which preceded 1t. he was OF
the Augustan age.
Propertius, IL seems, had a sweet
heart, Cynthia by name. and most OF
his work is Il mirror of his love affair
with her He tells how they walked
together hand in hand. when cupid
was kind, and how they quarreled in
real loverly fashion at other times, and
how they made up. 1t seems that Latin
poets of the time of Christ loved just
like people do nowadays. and maIdens
were just as coy and uncertain.
DR.. Smiths address pointed no moral.
but 1t adorned tale. 1t was a CLASH
cal production-the fruit of much study
and of thorough familiarity with the
works of those poets of the Angus tan
period.
Introducing DR.. Smith. DR.. Thomas
FitzHugh, of the University of Vir-
ginia. president of the Classical Asso-
citation. said in part:
