GARY SCHOOL SYSTEM
URGED BY DIR. CORNMAN
Associate Superintendent Also Recon-
pends Provision for Leisure
Hours of Workers

At the quarterly conference of officials of
institutions for the care and training of chill
dren. held yesterday at st. Edmond's Home
for Crippled Children, DIR. oliver p. Corn
man. Associate Superintendent OF Public
Schools announced himself in favor of a
duplicate school system, more generally
known as the Gary system This system has
the twofold object of making continuous use
of the school plant and OF moving children
from teacher to teacher.
Doctor Cornman spoke on the subject Can
the Public Schools Meet the Educational
Needs of Institution Children" and he
brought out the point that the Philadelphia
school system was trying to provide for the
added leasure made available by the eight
hour day by inculcating In children an ap-
probation Of good literature and music. He
also said that new factory methods, under
which worker must pound away at the
same thing hour In and hour out. made 1t
essential that he should derive recreation
and enjoyment from his leisure.
Mrs. Iris Prouty OLeary, special assistant
in charge of vocational education, New Jer-
sey Department of Public instruction, spoke
on Making the Work Of Institutions Real
Other problems considered in the discussion
which followed were: What vocational and
Industrial education should our institutions
provide for children In their care? Can this
training be secured through the public
schools? Should there be central Industrial
institution to which older children could be
transferred for special training? Are we do
ing all that we should for the boy or girl
who finds 1t impossible to complete the eighth
grade?
Tea was served by the sisters of St Ed
monds Home.
