that modern public education requires

the fact that we have the kinder

The calling in of the nerve special

Precautionary Measure.
The Presidents condition is not con-

precautionary measure and to relieve
the pressure on DR.. Grayson, who has
been with the President almost con-

The President was described as ex-

that he remain quiet, and is trying

Correct children's Speech.

The report urges the employment
of corps Of teachers qualified to
correct speech defects among the
school children.
The suggestion that grade school
principals be relieved of class room
duties In order to devote closer at
tention to the education of all the
children in their respective build
ings Is Endorsed by the superintend-
ent.
On the need Of more school build
ings the superintendent states:
.In my judgment one Of the most
vital questions affecting the ef1-
cheney of the schools is that Of proper
school accommodation. Our high
schools are becoming crowded, and
to some extent overcrowded. Many
of the classes in them are too large
for most efficient teaching. In the
grades last year there were 80
classes being conducted two in q
room. While the large majority of
these involved hrst and second
grades. there were a considerable
number of cases where classes above
the second grade had to be placed
on. half time in so far as general
class instruction was concerned.
There were also many cases of kim
dergartens and first grades occupy

phase OF the price situation may be

Because Of rapid market changes
the committee has not attempted to
fix a price for sugar. as competition
Is keeping that commodity within
reasonable bounds. An increased
price OF sugar, however. probably
would result in action by the COM
mittee. The supply Of the refineries
is limited and the practice Of allow
ing each customer only a limited
amount Is being followed in most gro.
cery stores, as has been done since
last July.
Wholesale and retail prices of sugar
throughout the country will be in
vestigated by the Federal Trade Com
mission as a result of a resolution in

Tinkham of Massachusetts, and passed
yesterday by the House.
