ASKS FOR RECESS IN SCHOOLS;
PLEADSFOR COOPERATION OF ALL

Take in the matter OF the health Of
our school children. There is no phase
of our public school life which depends
more on the hearts and sympathetic
cooperation of parents, teachers and
school officials than this. Given a nor
NAL, healthy child and efforts along
mental and moral lines have a much
greater chance of bearing fruit.
AS parents we should place the
health of our children first, and to do
this we must know not only the con-
ditions under which they live at home,
but also at school We can take the
best of care of our boys and girls from
four o'clock in the afternoon until 9
o'clock the next morning, and have it
all for nought if the seven hours in
between are spent under conditions Of
impure air, improper heating, and lack
of necessary exercise. On the other
hand, our school management may
take perfect care Of our children for
the seven hours given 70 them, and We,
the parents, who should be the most
interested, can undo it all by the hab
its we allow our children to be ac-
quiring during the time at home, by
improper food lack Of sleep and an
abnormal amount Of exciting enter
tainments.
Because the writer feels the home i;
first Of all responsible, let us consider
three important things aiding good
health; sleep, food, and dress.
No child should fail to get the right
amount Of sleep apd it does seem as
though many parents did not fully
realize the necessity of this. Those in
a position to know tell us that every
child below SO years of age should
have at least Hip hours Of sleep,
those from 10 to l3 should have 10
hours and any growing boy and girl
needs 9 hours at the least. Now to
secure these hours OF rest for our chill
dren, they cannot be out on the streets
until nine or after with all the attend
ing excitement. Cheat a child out Of
sleep and we hand over to the teach
er the next day a sleepy, cross, dull
child for her to inspire and train,
Would you like the task, parents?
Next to sleep comes food. We were
amazed at one time to hear our teach
ers report that it was not uncommon
for half the children in some rooms of
the lower grades to report having had
coffee for breakfast when the subject

In this installment of discussion OF
school issues, Mrs. J. J. Ross submits
to The Register communication
headed: "A PLEA FOR CO-OPERA-
TION" and obviously without animus,
she heartily begs for a harmonious con-
sideration Of certain essential features
effecting the health and general well
fare of the children. Her appeal is not
alone to the school authorities, but
to parents, as well, and it deserves
thoughtful reading by all Her letter
follows:
To the Editor of The Register:
Will you k+Ndly allow me the space
in your paper to make brief plea for
cooperation in the work of our pub
lie schools? Before coming here the
writer has been privileged to live in
a large city and in a small one, in
the country and in a small village, and
nowhere has there seemed to be the
opportunity for the finest community
work and service as is offered in Mid
dlebury. For this reason it seems as
though we are making a big mistake
if we allow ourselves to become d-
vided in any way, town against col
lege, women against men or organza-
ton against organization. In all groups
OF our community are keen, well edu
Gated, highly trained men and women,
all of whom are one at heart in their
desire for a better Middlebury, and in
this is included the best public schools
our community can afford. The writ
er has always endeavoed to be an IN
terested patron of the graded schools,
has priced the friendship of the teach
ers and been grateful for their services
When need has arisen she has not been
hesitant in taking up difficult problems
with the school authorities direct. Out
of all this has come the firm convlc-
ton that we must pull together-par-
ents, teachers and school board. More
than once have the teachers in our
graded school complained of the lack
of interest shown by the parents, as
evidenced by their not visiting schools,
and not attending special exercises.
During the past year there has come
an increased interest because the
mothers through our parent-teachers
association have been reused to find
out things for themselves. We have
been asking why certain things were
done and why some things were left
undone. We have been asking for
safety, for the best of sanitary condi-
tions in our graded school building In
these there has been, and no doubt
will be, further changes for the better.
Along other lines, as brought out by
Mrs Ryder last week, we are asking
ior new work. Are we in the wrong2
Mus. our schools always remain just
as they are2 No, it does seem the ma
tural thing for US to progress, and in
50 doing it need not necessarily mean
unjust criticism one of the other nor
ack Of appreciation for public service
performed. Are we
not big and broad enough citizens to
.ry TO understand each others point of
view and generous enough to the other
% give credit for ideas brought forth
rom any side?

CLOSE MARBLE MILL
ENTIRELY JULY 1

On account OF almost unprecedented
depression in the marble business, the
local plant of the Vermont Marble
Company will for an indefinite period
suspend all operations about July l,
Superintendent George B. Reynolds
told the employees Wednesday morn
ing The orders that remain to be
filled are the last to be expected until
better times. Mr.. Reynolds said that
it would require about three weeks or
a month to complete the work now in
progress. There are so men engaged at
the local plant, although in normal
times there have been 1856 on the pay
roll.
The marble mill has been operated
upon a short time schedule since
April IS when the working days were
reduced to five and the hours to eight.
The single men were the first to be
dropped from the companys roll in
the winter when the number Of orders
had decreased to only five per cent
normal.
The Vermont Company plant has
been the only manufacturing industry
here since the quarry of the Middle
bury Marble Company was closed sew
eral months ago. With the low prices
realized for farm produce at the pres
ent time there is little opportunity
for the mill workers to tide over the
business slump by work in the fields
Farmers are content in most instances
to get along with as little hired help
as possible. They feel unable to pay
the wages demanded.
The contemplated shut down will be
the first that has even been ordered
at the plant, although six years ago
the shop was closed for nearly four
years. At that time the men were
transferred to other shops OF the firm
The present orders affect all the
branches of the company however, as
"a gangs in Florence have been stop
ped, 20 at Proctor and "a in West Rut-
land. In Manchester as in Middlebury
the suspension will be complete indef-
nitely 1t is expected that some of the
employees of the local plant will be
transferred to Proctor.
