WOULD NOT CLOSE.
SCHOOLS IN SUMMER
Commissioner of Education Claxton
Submits Plan Which Meets
With Approval.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Characteriz-
Ing the practice of closing, the public
schools during the summer months as
primitive and preposterous. and assert
ing that the most important problem OF
today was to keep the city boys from
three months contamination In the
streets" p, p. Claxton. commissioner OF
the United States bureau of education.
today approved plan which would mean
continuous night school sessions. and
through which two million children might
be enlisted IN vocational work.
a programme for summer voca tional
work of public school children was sub
committed to the commissioner by Clyde
Alison Mann. secretary OF the American
Society for Thrift. He approved the idea
and expressed the belief that one voca
tional teacher In each school be employed
all the year.
These teachers should teach nature
study and the principles Of horticulture,
Mr. Claxton said, going from home 10
home. supervising the garden work and
continuing work during summer vaca
ton.
EFT Is important TO consider the fact
that the public schools OF the country
represent an investment OF nearly tive
billion dollars. and that this investment
stands idle about one quarter OF the time
for no other reason than that In primitive
days both teachers and pupils were need
ed on the farms three or four months ir
the summer.
"For school gardening. the equipment
IS small Item, and the vacant lots o.
the city now idle would be better FOL
cultivation"
Mr.. claxton pointed out that in Europe
the public schools last year produced
800 6o0, 900 through their vocational work
children could be enlisted In the United
States within a few weeks. and that thei,
labors would yield them Sloo. 600 an
nualy.
