REDUCTION IN STAFF
Of TEACHERS IS URGED
L. c. II. Bradley Of Lovejoy School
Sees Fuel Saving in En-
larged Glasses.

A decrease in the teaching staff of the
schools of the District. with a greater
enrolment of pupils in classes and
consequent saving of fuel, as classes
are made larger by reducing the num-
ber of classrooms used. is urged by L.
c. H. Bradley. teacher in the Lovejoy
School.
Mr.. Bradley believes that tea chers re-
leased from their duties by such push
ing together of classes might he used
in war work or to render service in
some branch of government employ. He
says:
"Since we have been at war the
schools have been called upon to an
increasing extent to render certain
patriotic services which have threat
ened to disorganize classroom work
and greatly interfere with the curricu-
lum, am of the opinion that 1t would
be better for the schools to increase
the enrolment of individual teachers
and remove from the classroom certain
teachers who might be employed to
handle war activities in the schools or
teach illiterate soldiers or render serv-
ice in some department of the govern
ment.
"As a strictly war measure. practi-
cally all male teachers could be used
for other urgent and special services.
and their classes distributed among
woman teachers, who should, mat
ter of course have their wages raised
to salaries. This would not only fur
nish the government with many COM
petent administrative, clerical and
technical assistants but also would re-
suit in saving of fuel. Sixty persons
in a class instead of thirty would re-
suit in some rooms being closed, there
by saving the coal necessary to heat
several rooms.
There is no doubt but that class Of
sixty children is too large for one per-
son, but it Is worth considering wheth-
classroom work. with no outside inter-
ference, would not be further advanced
at the end Of semester than thirty
pupils on a plan specifying two-thirds
academies and one-third war activities,
to say nothing of the coal saved and
the men released for other service"
