SUMMER SCHOOLS
MAY Be EXTENDED
Officials Talk of 12-Month
Year for Sessions, With
Nine Months Required.

Extension Of the vacation school
session from six to nine weeks, with
an ultimate view Of creating a
twelve-month scholastic year. in
stead of nine as at present, is being
seriously considered by school au-
thorities, it was learned today. The
latter step. however, probably will not
be taken until there is a public de-
mand for a twelve month school year,
while the former plan may be put
into operation next summer.
Advantages of school year of
twelve months are many, according
to officials. They believe it would be
more economical than a nine-month
scholastic year. because the children
would be given more opportunities to
progress with their education.
Three Out Of Four Terms.
The plan under consideration con-
templates a division of the calendar
year into four equal school terms Of
three months each. Under the plan,
the children would be compelled to
attend only three terms, choosing any
of the three they wish. In the fourth
term. those children who failed in
their studies would be given an op-
portunity to make up the work IN
which they are deficient, while the
pupils who passed could take the
fourth term course and advance.
Consequently, bright and ambitious
pupils taking the extra term for four
consecutive years would gain year
in their studies.
First steps toward the creation of a
twelve-month school year were taken
mer or vacation schools. Although
these schools are primarily for back
ward children who desire to make up
their work in a six weeks intensive
course. they have been successful and
have saved the school system thou
sands of dollars which would have
been spent had children attending
these schools been forced to repeat
their work.
Next summer. it was indicated. may
see the summer school session extend
ed from six to nine weeks. and in 1923
be paved to readjust the nine month
school year into twelve. Such plan
will not be undertaken. 1t was point
ed out by one official, until the gen.
eral public recognizes the advantages
of a twelve-month school year and de-
mands it.
Adjustment to Vacation.
It is the opinion of some authorities
that public sentiment at present may
of the school year into the summer
months on the ground that it would
interrupt vacations. The officials EN-
phasize that the majority of Wash
ingtonians seldom spend more than
two weeks out of the city on their
vacations. and this short length of
time would not disturb the school
work of their children.
Extension of the school year could
be effected, the officials believe, with
out any additional expense to the
school system. But few new teachers
would be necessary. they contend,
because the teaching personnel would
be SO arranged that the teachers
would be compelled to teach only
three terms, and there would be a
corps of teachers always ready for
the extra term.
While discussing the proposed ex-
tension of the school year the Of
ficials will endeavor to crystalline
public sentiment in favor of this plan
by pointing out it's advantages when
addressing various civic organiza-
tions.

Anglo-French relations are hardly
improved after the clash between the
BRAND and Curzon views as to how
Germany may be treated, and it would
not be surprising If the French de-
clined to adhere to the program of
defensive submarines being suggested
for them. This is also a sore point
with the British, who hardly will
agree to grant France the right to
build an unlimited number of sub
marines. The friction between France
and Great Britain Is disconcerting to
the other governments, and it is be-
ing predicted that before the confer
ence Is over the mediating> influence
of the United States will have to be
exercised to obtain a harmonious

VALLEY FANS GIVEN RARE TREAT BY THE REPUBLICAN DURING TANK GIANT BATTLE FOh WORLD TITLE

Two walks and an error by Peckfn- paugh lost yesterdays game and the worlds championship to the New York Yankees and gave Art Nehf his first victory in the series just closed.
 Hoyt pitched a brilliant game and the lone run scored against him came without hit. The flatbush hero lost none of his well earned glory by yes terday's defeat, as he had already turned in two of the Yank's three vic tories. He held the Giants to six hits and struck out seven batsmen, but his four free passes counted against him.
 Art Nehf worked in three games, losing his two first starts by close margins In the second game Of the series Nehf allowed three hits, two of them flukes, but the Tanks scored three runs and he lost. In his second start he was opposed by Hoyt and though pitching a wonderful game his teammates were unable to score be- hind him.
 Yesterday the Giants were fighting from the first ball, taking advantage of every opening, and their fighting instinct proved the big factor in fore ing one lone run across and winning a worlds championship.
 Wards error lost the Wednesday game but Peckinpaugh draws a berth in the hall of worlds series goats with his boot yesterday.
 The biggest crowd of the series watched yesterdays game played on The Republican player board and the enthusiasm of the thousands of val ley fans would do justice to the Polo grounds. Fans from Peoria Glen dale Chandler, Tempe and Mesa came to Phoenix yesterday and stood on Central avenue during the nine in nings of the snappiest world series baseball game ever played. The wonder board attracted just as much atten- tion as the game itself and the com ment of the fans give the Arizona Re- publican pride in the best report of a world sporting event ever attempted in the Southwest.
 Nehfs wildness in yesterdays game put the Giant portsider in the hole so often the fans had plenty of oppor- tunity to show the Yankee rooters in the majority.

CHAMP MEETS CYCLONE TURNER AT NE W ARENA I TONIGHT.

Fight fans who crave the slugging type of fighter will get an eyeful at the Capitol City arena this evening when Lee Anderson answers the gong for the first round of his bout with Cyclone Turner.
 Anderson decisively defeated Kid Norfolk for the light heavyweight championship of the world in a Phoenix ring and Lee wants the fight followers in this city to see how much he has improved since that memorable battle. If Turner shows any kind of fight he will find Lee ready with both mitts to mix in with him.
 In three workouts at the Capital City arena Turner showed speed and a punch, but how much he can take without weakening remains to be seen when he meets Anderson. His workouts stamp him as a real fight CT and the local millers vouch for his punching ability. Anderson beat him in 12 rounds, but was unable to stop him when they fought at Fort Worth. Turner says Lee cannot stop him and he vows the champ will be lucky to stay the limit. It takes a good man to stop Anderson and if Turner can do the trick we'll admit he has the stuff that moulds champs.
 Anderson decisively defeated sam Langford in their last meeting re- moving Than as a possible contender for his title. Sam was much heavier than Lee, but the weight advantage proved useless in his argument with Anderson.
 In the semi final Ira H'Neil and Fighting Beaver will try for a kayo in six rounds. Ira holds one decision over Beaver and if the dope runs true he should repeat tonight.
 Dick Campbell hade a good show ing against Wildcat Johns last Fri day. in fact he made such good showing tha he Is matched for four rounds with Kid Rivers tonight. Rivers had started six times in the last two months and he came out on bp each time. Dick has a better kick than Rivers, but he lacks the polish that has gained the clever Mexican a host of admirers among Phoenix fight foll overs.

Pfpp in the ninth inning the fans were on their toes and the vast thrOng was pulling for Babe to hit. The nervous train was released when Babe grounded out to Kelly. The mighty Bam bino in person could not have re- ceived a more hearty welcome than his name received when it was in serted fin the batters' box.
 The effort of The Republican to cover the big series was a wonderful success. Of the many thousands who watched the game as guests of The Republican, not a dissatisfied fan was found. The fans were unanimous in their appreciation of the best serv- ic ever attempted in the Southwest. Travelling salesmen and visitors who have watched worlds series returns in other cities pronounce The Repub- Hcan player board the most perfect ever attempted and thy marvel at the progressiveness of the States Lead ing Newspaper in giving the game play by play on a player board that West Coast papers were not able to obtain for this series.

 The Arizona Republican not only keeps breast of the times, but dem onstrated during the 1921 worlds series that The Republican is ahead of any paper west of the Mississippi river.
 The Republican is especially grate- full to the Phoenix Presto-Lite shop for the prompt and efficient manner in which they took care of the storage batteries for the wonder board. The operation of the board required two fully charged batteries for each game, and that the batteries were in tip-top condition was demonstrated in the perfect manner in which the board operated throughout the series. If the batteries were not up to full capacity it would have been almost impossible to carry out many of the plays shown on the player board.
