THURSTON THANKED
FOR PLATOON PLAN
Park View School Patrons
Recommend Extension
of System.

Superintendent of Schools Thurston
was the recipient today of a COM
munication from parents of children
attending the Park View School,
thanking him for the installation of
the two-platoon system in that school
in February. and recommending the
extension of this plan as rapidly as
possible. Institution of the two-pla-
toon system at the Park View School,
the letter said. is "the greatest sim
gle advance that has been made in
the grade schools. The value of the
system has been SO fully recognized
by teachers and officials of the
schools that we assume there is no
to advise its continuance in this
school would be superfluous."
Establishment of the platoon
system at the Park View School was
approved by the board of education
upon the recommendation of Supt.
lieve overcrowding and has been op-
Grated successfully since its institu-
tion at the school on February l.
Copied From Other Cities.
The two-platoon system was copied
from similar systems used in Pitts
burgh. Detroit and Cleveland. Supt.
Thurston personally visited schools
in these cities last winter when he
was confronted with a problem of
relieving congestion in the Washing
ton schools. The best. features of the
platoon systems in schools in those
cities were combined and formed the
one operated at the Park View School.
Extension of the two-platoon sys-
tenn in graded schools in thickly pop
ulated resident sections of the city,
the superintendent is confident, will
become reality this fall, despite
the fact that he will not have super
vision of the plans this year. Schools
in East Washington, Mt. Pleasant and
Columbia Heights. he believes, will be
operated. on two-platoon system this
fall, due to the heavy increase in en-
rollmentl expected.
VIII BE Badly Needed.
The situation at the West School,
the superintendent pointed out. will be
open September 20. Row after row
of new houses is being built in the
vicinity of this school and will be oc-
cupied this fall, Mr.. Thurston ds-
clared. with the logical result that
hundreds of new pupils will be en-
rolled in this institution.
Serious overcrowding at the Mott.
Powell and Cook schools in Mt. Pleas
ant also is expected by the supein-
tendent No other plan than the two
platoon system, in the opinion of the
superintendent, can be formulated to
relieve congestion in these schools.
Under the two-pIatOon system, Mr..
Thurston pointed out, SO per cent
more pupils can be accommodated In
