SCHOOLS AND the SUMMER VACATION.

While denying extreme statements
attributed to him, DR.. P. P. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation. has reiterated his belief in
continued activity Of some kind in
summer months for most children.
"The schools should provide some
kind Of instruction for the children
through what is now, in most cities,
a long wastefud vacation" declares DR.
Claxton. He points out that school
takes at most 900 hours a year out Of
$40 waking Notwithstanding ten
hours Of sleep for children every night:
the average child spends about 600
hours in school and the remaining 4,51O
waking hours out Of school. Dr. Clax-
ton suggests that summer work last
not longer than four fours-from Z or
o'clock to II or IL o'clock in the fore
noon.
According to DR.. Claxton the school
of the future, both in summer and win
ter, will give less time to intensive
school study of the ordinary type
probably about three hours: and four
or five hours to productive work super
vised by the school, done in shops, out
door gardens, or in the home. with
this kind Of an organization" he de-
clares, at would be very easy for chill
dren to do ordinary school work three
hours a day, s days in the week, thru
eleven calendar months in the year,
and at the same time contribute largely
to their own support by well-directed
productive educational work, either at
home or in the school, thus making it
possible for the great majority Of chill
dren to remain in school throughout
the high school period.
The cost Of adding the three months
Of school, he asserts. would be COM
parativeIy little. There would be no
cost for fuel, the cost Of attendance
! would be less, and the additional cost
ton to the number of days added. He
argues that whatever may be the terms
| Of the contract teachers are in fact
employed by the year and says com
| paratively few Of them use the vaca-
ton months in any profitable way. An
average addition of $500 to the annual
salary Of city school teachers would
require a total of less than 100000
or about 3 per cent Of the total an.
