TOO MUCH TELEPHONING
TO CHILDREN AT SCHOOL
Hereafter Pupils Will Not be Sum-
moned from their Rooms Ex-
-cept in Emergencies

Owing to constant interruption OF
teachers while at work, by telephone
calls from parents to children, it has
been found necessary to request the
telephone authorities not to make con-
nection with the Washington school
except during the noon hour, before
school in the morning and after school
in the evening. Any serious emer-
gency necessitating departure from
such ruling may be stated to the tele-
phone authorities who will Judge
If the emergency in question be suf-
ficient to justify making the connec-
ton wanted. Such a ruling may not
be understood by parents unless they
realize the very great number of times
the telephone rings each day with the
request that some child be summoned
to the telephone. Each call requires
that the teacher leave her class in the
middle Of whatever work she may be
doing, answer the TELEPHONE, go to
some other room and interrupt the
work there to summon the child want
ed and then return to her own room
to redirect the attention of the class
to their work.
While each parent desiring to talk
with a child may feel that the inter-
ruption to work occasioned by that
particular call is unimportant and will |
not take more than two minutes of the
teachers time, still no reasonable per-
SON can fail to realize the serious in
eruption caused by forty or fifty such
calls in the course of a day. The prin-
:ipal at the Washington building has
forty-one boys in her class room who
demand her entire attention during
hours. Constant Interrupt i

ton to summon children means that
the school work cannot be done. AS
very few of the many calls which come
in represent any absolute necessity
it has been found necessary to make
the ruling that calls for teachers or
children be confined to the noon hour
before nine in the morning and after
three-thirty in the evening.
This ruling does not apply to calls
for the superintendent from parents.
but does apply to requests to him to
summon children for the telephone.

New Federal Tax Law

New Federal Tax Law
Notwithstanding the fact that be-
ginning today the government lays a
tax Of one cent for each ten cents or
fraction thereof, of an amount paid
for admission to any place, the Prin-
cess Theatre admission will not be
raised. This means that hereafter
Mr.. Mattecheck will have to pay to
the government two cents for every
adult and one cent for every child
that attends the theatre, including
those who have complimentary tickets
In announcing that prices would not
be raised Mr.. Mattechcck said he was
unable to say how long prices would
be left as they are. The new law says
that the tax must be collected from
those who pay admission and it may
be that under the terms of the law he
will not be permitted to absorb the
tax and continue to charge his former
prices.
