NEW YORK. March 2That this
would be the dnllest stock market day
OF the year to date was determined
before Wall street business began this
morning. With wire service connect
ing New York and the outside world
paralyzed, with attendance on the
exchange floor greatly diminished and
with apparently no incentive to buy
stocks, it Is indeed surprising that so
much as $4,000 shares were dealt in
during the five hours of trading.
Business was entirely of profession
ial character and though prices for the
most part closed with losses of % to
a point, as compared with SATURDAY.,
the declines registered had no special
significance Europe sold stocks here
at the opening and thus determined
the course of price movements. 1t may
be that the foreign selling was based
on the Mexican situation but if this
was SO. the same incentive To sell
stock was not found here. Lack of
support, other than pressure of sales.

Fayors Longer School Day.


Under the six hour day system it is
necessary for the pupils to do part
OF their study work outside OF school.
BY lengthening the day to nearly sew
en- hours it is possible for the pupils
to do practically all of their study
work inside the school. A number of
reasons were advanced for this re-
markable reduction in the percentage
of failures. One of them was that in
many homes, not alone of the poorer
class, proper facilities for study are
not afforded pupil. Thers are often
so many distractions in the home that
pupil cannot concentrate his interest
on his work. Another reason advanc-
led was that there now are many. more
attractions at night that draw high
school pupils from their homes, and
therefore away from their school
work. Moving picture theatres and
dances form good illustrations of this
point.
The length of the school day was in
creased from five hours to six hours
in the Keokuk schools this year, and
thu new length of day has been found
the more satisfactory. The prospect
CT frightening the day to seven hours
is one that affords interest to local
school authorities, and may be given
serious consideration here.

William Aldrich, superintendent OF

from Richmond. Va, where he attend
ed the annual convention OF the sup.
erintendents department Of the Ma
tional Educational Association which
met on Feb "a, %, 26 and 81, together
with many other organizations allied
with the association. Many matters
of national importance in educational
work were brought up at this meet
ing and discussed by those most
familiar with the subjects.
One matter brought up, and one
which is considered of much import
ance in this city, was that regarding
the proper length of the school day.
An address on this subject was given
by Stanley Brown, principal of the
Joliet, Illinois, high school. The speak
er stated that in lengthening the
school day from six to six and three
quarter hours a day he had reduced
the percentage of failures from 27-30
percent to 1918 percent in his school.
