THURST0N TO LESSEN
BURDEN Of TEACHERS
Superintendent of Schools Will Sim
plify and Eliminate Reports.
Interruptions to Cease.

In order that teachers in the District
public schools may be able to give
as much time as possible to the actual
tea ching of the Children under thelf
instruction Ernest l.. Thurston. super
intendent of schools. is planning TO
relieve them Of as much admlnistra-
tive work as possible. He is planning
TO simplify reports OF various sorts
and whatever compatible with good ad-
minjstration to eliminate some of
them.
As a step in the relief OF the teachers
Mr. Thurston has already issued In.
structious to his officers not to call
teachers to the phone during cia?s
hours, except in cases wnere ~
absolutely essential. In this manner
if is said. teachers have already been
relieved of one of their chief burdehS'
that of being interrupted at not III
frequent intervals to answer ques'
tious relating to administrative mat
tcrs.
Teachers Not to Be Interrupted.
Supt. Thurston has also urged that at
meetings of home and school assocla-
tious and similar organizations the
parents, be requested to come a1ter
school hours when they have business
with the teacher. 1t is pointed out
that when u teacher is interrupted III
the middle of class work it is several
minutes before the attention OF the
class can be regained, ana that 'nerepE
considerable time is lost merely in the
matter of getting back to the point
at which the interruption occurred.
Supt Thurston is of the opinion that
a number of the blanks now used Tor
statistics. reuuisitions and similar pur-
poses may be simpified without loss
to the business efficiency of the school
system. He has already made numer-
Gus changes in individual cases look
ing toward this result. He expects 70
taLe nm the matter in more detail in
the near future and wherever possible
make the work even more simple.

job is to keep the families together

to do is to see when it'will be possible
to get the children back to the parents.
District Is Last Resort.
The District is the last hope, and the
