schools and that there are 183 ad-
ditional class rooms needed. Mod
ern educators are keenly alive to
the dangers of over large classes,
many agreeing that twenty-five is
the limit for really effective work,
while thirty-five will lessen the
quality of the results. This is
proven by a series of experiments
carried on recently with Baltimore
public school pupils by the psy-
chiatry department. Of Johns Hop
kins. 1t was found by the exami-
nation of a large number of So
called retarded pupils and repeat
erss of grades that there was no
definite lack OF intelligence. Prac
tically all these children had fallen
behind because their education be-
gan in rooms so full of pupils that
it was impossible for the teacher
to give the Individual child the
study and attention he needed
When these children were placed in
small groups where the teacher
could make a study of each case it
was found that they rapidly made
up their work and were ready for
promotion at the end OF a term.
Part-Tfme EVIL.
Ungraded classes and incorrigtble
classes are largely recruited from
the overcrowed rooms, among the
unfortunate children who get lost
in the big groups that frequently
make up the primary grades. Forty
pupils to a teacher will not permit
the study of the individual child
that is so essential in elementary
education. Think what 1t means
now, what 1t is going to mean in
the future to hundreds Of boys and
girls to have in the city schools 444
classes with from forty-two to
fofty-eight pupils per teacher.
Another bad feature of over
crowded schools is the part time
class. A writer in a recent number
of the National School Digest says:
ANY city or community in this land
that permits part time instruction
to public school children deserves
to receive condemnation" Juvenile
courts judges, and all child welfare
workers testify to the evils of the
part time plan. Unfortunately the
schools that have to put third and
fourth grade children on part time
are usually located in the sections
of the city where there is little
chance to play about the homes and
therefore 1t means turning children
on the street for a half day with
every opportunity for idle hands to
ind the wrong things to do.
Need of Playground.

1t is understood that the present
plans are quite elaborate, and the
Commissioners stated yesterday
that there can be a considerab BILE
saving if a simpler system is in

sioner Keller yesterday, will not re-
duce the efficiency Of the proposed
system OF heating and ventilating.

eight hours a day it is a sad COM
mentary that the schools of the
Nations Capital are turning chill
dren out on the streets after a
three hour and a half day.
Today the school playground is
inseparably linked with the school
house. The modern supervised
playground is one of the essential
features of the modern school sys-
tenn. Yet the Fairgrounds of the
Washington schools are even more
crowded than the buildings them
selves. The president d the Amer
lean Playground Association says
there should be 121 square feet of
space for each child on school
playground. While that may be
too liberal allowance for large
cities with high land values. never
theless cut 1t so per cent and 1t is
still a long ways from the three
and a half to four square feet of
play space per child found around
some Washington school buildings
To Discuss Platoon System.
In discussing the overcrowded
schools emphasis has been placed
on but the three most deplorable
phases Of such conditions: too many
pupils per teacher. part time
classes and lack OF playground
space. There are many more OBJ
jectionable features bound to result
when third more children than
the normal capacity are packed in
to a building. But the Arst three
phrases alone should make all
thinking citizens realize that Sup
erintendent Ballou is speaking
conservatively when he SAYS that
Immediate action must be taken
to relieve the situation IL irrepar-
able educational damage is to he
avoided" Many educators will NV
that irreparable damage is being

And later, when you were un- able to Harvest your crops because of the labor shortage, this company brought in the needed labor, that you might be saved.
 ''Yet you talk about being robbed by the ginners. I dare say that nearly every ginning company in the valley would willingly turn the gins over to the growers-glad to be rid of them. They would probably even help the growers in the purchase of these gins, just to get them off their hands" he concluded.
 Mir. Atna stated that the company he represents has loaned more than s500.- 900 to the farmers of the valley, while other ginners stated that much was being done to carry the grower over to a more prosperous period
