SCHOOL HOURS AND THE WAR.

There is strong local sentiment for slight change
in the hours in public schools Many parents have
expressed themselves as favoring some action along
these lines by the school board
We have assured them that we knew the board to
be composed of progressive who would consider the
matter carefully and act as they thought best
We understand that the board has no objection to
the change but that it wishes to be assured by suff
cent number OF the parents that such revision would
be helpful to them
If the grade schco,s would maintain the present
morning schedule and change the afternoon session so
to begin at o'clock and close at three and the high
school hours changed that there would only be
session from halfpast eight until o'clock it would
give the scholars great deal Of time to be Of help to
the family and great many of them could find reunera-
tive work.
M In war times, when every bit Of man power must be
made available, the woll, of the younger generation
counts for great deal
The mills the stores, the offices all need more help
than they can get the school hours changed as
suggested above there would be many productive hours
available.
And the earning power of the young and wo-
men would do much to relieve the strain of the present
high cost of living.
We sincerely hope that the members of the board
will give this matter the CAREFUL study that deserves and
will do it in ample time to make the new hours effective
with the opening Of the schools for the fall session.
We can assure them that the public sentiment fav-
ors such change and that if the change is made the
parents will back them up seeing that the attendance
nearly being one hundred per cent perfect
than ever before.
