Double Session

Public Education Association
Bulletin Calls 1t Worse
Than Part Time; Hylan's
Statements Found Untrue

The attempt Of the Board of Educa-
tion to wipe out the i'll effects OF part
time instruction in the public schools
by placing them on double-session
basis is the subject Of severe criticism
in the current issue of the bulletin Of
the Public Education Association. The
ments regarding tho schools made by
Mayor Hylan in his speech Of accept
ance were untrue.
The Mayor stated that part time was
reduced 10000 by the recent opening OF
new school buildings seating $4,000
children. Regarding this the article
says:
ale {the Mayor) knows, and his
prompters know, that these seatings
we're more than absorbed by the SO 900
increase in register and that part time
was thereby increased by 10000 over
June last, and by 100000 in the last
year. Equally erroneous is his con-
tention chat the new buildings under
way and contemplated will eliminate
part time. BY the time these struc-
lures are completed the new seatings
will be absorbed by the increase in
register, just as they were This year.
leaving part time and other manifesto
tions of congestion in the schools as
bad as at present"
Concerning the attempt to place the
elementary schools on double session
basis in the congested districts, the
article says:
"In an effort TO reduce the appalling
amount of part time in the schools for
public effect, principals are being
urged TO use more extensively the So
called double session program, which,
as conducted in New York City ss q
makes shift, is, if anything, worse than
part time.
"By keeping part time children about
the school building for an extra hour
or SO without increasing the time for
instruction available under part time,
it is hoped to increase the number
designated as on full time without add
ing anything Of educational value TO
the school day. The name will be
changed, but nothing else, and what's
in a name? Why not be frank and call
spade spade? Unless, of course,
one is simply interested in quietirg an
outraged public.
However valuable this proposal may
be to those VINO are interested in
calnoufaging the congestion in the
schools, it will add nothing 70 the
educational welfare of tba children
