WILLIAMS DESIRES
To HAVE SCHOOLS
OPENED ALL YEAR
County Superintendent Says
Time Will Come For
This Change.

"The time will come when the
schools of Indiana will be in session
twelve months in the year" This
statement was made by County Super
intendent c. O. Williams in discussing
the system of operating schools from
a business standpoint.
Especially does Mr.. Williams believe
this plan will be effectually carried out
in consolidated township schools and
in small corporations.
I'm Williamsburg the township
school cost 0,000," said Mr. Williams
What business man would consider it
a good investment to operate a $780,
900 corporation less than half of tbs
year. The Williamsburg school is in
session $50 days while the average
person works 800 days in the year.
Outlines His Plans.
Il realize that the students should
not be compelled to attend school
Throughout the year. My plan would
be to have the children in the primary
grades attend from April to the first of
December. The senior grades could be
in session from fall to spring as they
are at this time. The younger children
then could attend school during the
months when it would not be hard to
reach their destinations. 1t is not an
easy matter often times for small
children to walk or drive from two or
three miles to get to school and during
the coldest months they could be at
home while under the present system
they must attend school. The system
can in this way also be arranged 20
that the older boys and girls can be
home at the seasons of the year when
most needed" said Mr.. Williams.
One of the advantages of this sys-
tenn would be that four teachers could
do the work of seven and would be
employed throughout the year The
fact that a teacher has to be idle for
two or three months through the sum-
mer is one of the reasons efficient
teachers are compelled to look else
where for vocations, according 10 Supt
Williams. Eventually teachers will be
paid by the year rather than the
month according to the official In the
summer months every school in the
townships and rural districts can be
turned into an agricultural center ac-
cording to Mr.. Williams PLAN This
system is being worked out In some
sections of the country
To be Discussed Soon.

WE'LL. WE SAW HIM.

Woman suffrage question which
has vigorously projected itself on the politi-
cal forum-confronted President Wilson on
Monday in the person of go members of
the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, who pleaded that he use his
influence with Congress to obtain the bal
lot for the women of the nation.
1t was the first time the President had
been brought face to face with the issue
in formal way.
The President nodded pleasantly to the
women as they formed in circle around
him and DR.. Shaw stepped forward. In
low voice she told in straightforward
simple way how unavailng had been the
frequent pilgrimages of the women to Wash
ington heretofore and how committees of
Congress had listened courteously. but had
buried their case"
The President told his callers that what
ever might be his personal views on wo-
man suffrage or any other subject, he had
made it rule not to urge anything upon
Congress that had not been the subject of
"organic consideration" by the Democratic
party, of which he considered himself the
spokesman.
He said that when members of Congress
consulted him he would freely give his
views, and he added that having already
been asked his opinion about the organi-
cation of a standing committee in the
House Of Representatives to consider wo-
man suffrage he had expressed himself as
personally in favor of such a committee.

Lower Rates Approved.

Postmaster-General Burleson's proposal
to increase the weight limits of parcel-pos
packages in the first and second zones from
20 to SO pounds, to admit books to the
parcel post and to reduce rates in the third,
fourth fifth and sixth zones was approved
Saturday last by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The maximum weight of parcels to all
zones beyond the second was increased
from II to 20 pounds.
One of the reasons in raising the weight
limit in the local zones is to encourage the
utilization of the parcel post as a shipping
agency for farm produce to the cities. AT
ter January l farmer living at any point
in Maryland, as far south in Virginia as
Newport News, Petersburg or Lexington,
Va. in one-half ofPennsylvania, two thirds
Of New Jersey and all Delaware, can ship
to Baltimore market basket" weighing
SO pounds for 50 cents.
The increased weight limit in the local
zones will also give the Baltimore mer-
chant an opportunity to ship direct to the
Maryland. Virginia, Delaware and Southern
Pennsylvania farmer and town customer
packages of merchandise weighing as much
as so pounds.
The commissions consent" to the pro-
posed changes was transmitted in three
letters from Chairman Clarke to Postmas-
ter-General Burleson. The approved changes
in rates and weights, to be in effect Janu-
airy 1, 1914. follow:
To reduce the rates for the third zone
from seven cents for the first pound and
five cents for each additional pound to six
cents for the first pound and two cents for
each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fourth zone
from eight cents for the first pound and six
cents for each additional pound to seven
cents for the first pound and four cents
for each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fifth zone
from nine cents for the first pound and
seven cents for each additional pound to
eight cents for the first pound and six
cents for each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the sixth zone
from ten cents for the first pound and nine
cents for each additional pound to nine
cents for the first pound and eight cents
for each additional pound.
1T seems obvious" says the commits
sion. that the service to the public will
be promoted by these changes. provided
the revenue from the service is not less
than the cost thereof. Your experience
and statistics seem to show clearly that
the revenue will not be less than the cost
Of the service.
I'VE can conceive of no opposition to
the increased weight and reduced rates
except from the carriers that
transport the mails. We have had some
objections from them on the ground that
he increased weight should not be per-
nitted until provision for additional COM
sensation TO the carriers has been made"
Il is provided by the Postmaster Cen i
raj, with the consent Of the commission
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1913-12-12

that the rate of postage on parcels con-
tanning books weighing eight ounces or
less shall be one cent for each two ounces
or fractional part thereof, and on those
weighing in excess of eight ounces the
zone parcel-post rates shall apply" This
is to be effective March 16, 1914.
Serious objections to the proposed change
in the rates on books and catalogues were
made chiefly by mailers of heavy cata-
logues, but the commission says it feels
that the changes are in the interest of the
public generally.
Consent was also given by the commits
sion to the admission Of shipments of gold,
gold bullion and gold dust in Alaska and
to and from Alaska in packages weighing
not more than II pounds. The rate of
postage fixed is two cents an ounce or frac-
ton thereof for all distances.
THE Postmaster General issued an order
effective August Is last increasing the
weight limit in the first and second zones
from II to 20 pounds and materially re-
ducing the rates of postage for these zones
and stated at that time that this step was
in the nature of an experiment" said
statement issued Saturday by the Post
Office Department. After these changes
had been in operation for some time a rec
ord was kept Of the number of parcels
handled in large number of representa-
tive postoffices throughout the United States
and the report received from these offices
show that the changes in the service have
been greatly appreciated by the public.
THE number of parcels handled in the
first and second zones since these changes
became effective show an increase of ap-
proximately 16 per cent. The average
weight limit has also increased from 1.02
to IL pounds per parcel, and, notwith-
standing the great reduction in rates in
the first and second zones, the average
postage has increased per parcel from TT
cents to 10 cents"
The statement says of the change relat-
ing to books that it has strongly been
urged by circulating libaries, schools, COL
leees and publishers ever since the estab-
lishment of the parcel-post service. as the
present restrictive weight limit and rates
on books are prohibitive to great extent,
except in the case of catalogues" and that
it was not deemed advisable to place the
order changing the classification of books
in effect on January |. as it was desired
to give at least three months notice to
firms whose catalogues were now being
printed"
