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
! nublic schools may be able to give
as much time as possible to the actual
tea ching of the Children under their
! instruction Ernest L. Thurston. super
intendent of schools, is planning to
relieve them of as much administra-
tive work as possible. He Is planning
70 simplifv reports OF various sorts
and whatever compatible with sood ao-
miujstration to eliminate some OF
them.
As a step in the relief OF the teachers
Mr.. Thurston has already issued IN,
structions to his officers not TO can
teachers to the phone during class
hours. except in cases where II Is
absolutely essential. In thls inaiilei'
it is said, teachers have aireaus nee
relieved of one of their chief burdens
that of being interrupted at not IN
FREQUENT intervals to answer ques'
tions 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
narents. be requested to come after
school hours when they have business
with the teacher. 1t is pointed out
that when a teacher is interrupted III
the middle of class work it is several
minutes before the attention OF the
class can be regained, and that therepE
cnnS;derabIe 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 for
statistics, acquisitions and siinlaI pur
noses NAV be simplifed 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 10
