Assistant Superintendent Stephen

OF certain schools on half-time
schedules and an urgent demand for
funds to pay extra teachers would
possibly result.
THE school system" said Mr.. Kra-
mer, has seats for 65.00O pupils.
That doesn't mean, though, that 65,-
COO seats can accommodate 65,OO0
pupils. We may have a dozen empty
seats in a fourth grade class, while
across the hall a dozen seats may be
needed for a fifth grade class, but the
fifth grade children cannot be mixed
with the fourth grade pupils.
Will Need More Money.
'If it becomes necessary to In
crease our teaching force to any ex-
tent, though, we will have to go to
Congress for more money. We're
using up all our available salary al
lowance right now, to care for the
normal demands of the system, and
any extraordinary demands will call
for more money for salaries"
Headquarters OF the Board OF Edu-
cation and the superintendent of
schools and his associates buzzed
with excitement and work this morn
ing, as the army OF children marched
to school. Superintendent Thurston's
