hideous in the splendid dining room. a
circus with 200 performers was re-

The band in its bulging white neither
garments and red coats likewise be-

Gary School System
Faulty, Say Teachers
Report of Survey Made by Syracuse Educators Crit
icises Departmental Plan" in Grades and
Allowance of Liberty to Children.

Sessions Of the schools last from s
O'Clock in the morning until o'clock in
order to give time for these many ac-
tivities. and organized play is a part
of the daily school program.
with many Of these innovations STU
perintendent Hughes and the four other
members of his committee find fault.
They criticise the departmental plan,'
by which various teachers are employed
for young children, as conducive Of fad
dism and over-specialization. The AL
lowance OF liberty to the children, the
report states, In many instances seemed
to degenerate into license, and made
the teachers task difficult.
Makes Heavy Burden.
This strain. combined with the long
hours, the committee asserts. places too
heavy burden upon the teachers. The
plan of having janitors employed as
teachers. 1t is stated. has been a fall
ure because the janitors lacked peda-
gogical training. and because the ply
sical condition of the buildings showed
the result of their divided duties.
sets forth. is of a "patchy'' and super.
ficial nature. BY teaching each pupil
the rudlments OF several vocations little
Is gained. One phase of the manual
training work, that OF having pupils
produce furniture and other products of
practical use to school and community,
Is commended.
Most warmly commended is the plan
of having all public and i-public
agencies cooperate with the work OF
the schools. Especially valuable is the
cooperation of churches, Y NJ. C. A.
and libraries.
Another feature approved by the COM
mittee Is the development Of play anc
recreation. This, 1t Is said, balancei
the work OF the schools most admirably
and gives training OF a sort now gen
orally neglected in city schools.
There is nothing of recognized benet
