SMALLER CLASSES
IN THE SCHOOLS
One Of the Things Urged at Congress
Of School Hygiene, Now
in Session.

BUFFALO,, N. y, Aug. 2S.-Urglng
smaller classes in the schools and

fare of the pupils, DR. Joseph Lee,
member of the Boston school COM
mittee. and president of the Play
ground and Recreation association OF
America, today was the chief speak
er before the fourth international
congress on school hygiene.
When we realize fully what 1t
means to the health and mental de-
velopment OF our children declared
DR.. Lee, I'VE will cut the size OF the
present day classes in half. In our
elementary schools this would in
crease the efficiency of the teacher
and the mental and physical develop
ment of the children seventy-five per
cent. 1t would increase the cost OF
| the public schools eighty per cent, but
the children's lives and their develop
ment into healthy, happy, useful citi-
izens are we'll worth 1t. While the
actual cost of running the schools
would be increased eighty per cent
the tax payer would not be called upon
to pay out cent more money. The
difference, and more, would be made
up in the saving of the expenses OF
municipal hospitals and charity asso
