Opinions on Length Of School Term

Another advocate of shorter school
term has expressed his opinion against
the 10months period. A communica-
ton from j. c. Hurst follows:
Editor Palladium:
Il wish to express my hearty en-
dorsemert of the shorter school term,
advocated by Mrs. j F. Hornaday, in
Mondays issue of your paper. With
out a doubt, hundreds of others feel
the same about the long term after
this years experience with it.
1T is hard to see where any argu-
ment is needed to bring the school
term back to nine months. 1t has just
been shown, beyond any reasonable
doubt that the longer term does not
produce any better results, is a ply
sical hardship on the pupils, especially
the younger ones, and a needless eX-
pense to both patrons and taxpayers.
Favor Short Term.
One can't help but smile, and effort
is necessary to suppress laugh when
he reads the argument of Mr.. Jordan
for longer term just now, when il
is being demonstrated how impracti.
cal it is. I would not say the school
board was autocratic in its decision
for the longer school term, but it does
seem they opposed the wishes of the
majority of citizens in this matter.
In some places the sentiment
against the longer term was well nigh
unanimous. At parent-teachers
meeting where the vote was unani
nous against the longer term, either
before or after the vote. one of thG
school authorities made the declara
ton that the longer term would OBJ
tain if he had the power to bring ii
about, / am told. Apparently the de

DODGE FLYING SHOTS
IN BELFAST STREETS;
RIOT CLAIMED PLOT
CRy Associated Press)

BELFAST. June 14.-Rioting ac-
companied by heavy revolver and
rifle firing was renewed in the Cliff
ton street area of this city early to-
day. In authoritative circles it was
asserted the rioting was precipitated
by Republicans for the purpose of
preventing the visit of King George to
Belfast on June % for the purpose of
attending the state opening of the Ul-
ster parliament.
Business men going to the center
of the city from the suburbs this
morning at o'clock found themselves
in the midst of a riot in Clifton
street. The center of the disorder
was adjacent to the Ulster military
headquarters, which is flanked by
North Queen street, and the Carrick
Hill Republican areas. Denizens of
these districts waited for shipyards
workers and opened fire.

Police were hurried from the Glen

rioting continued for some time, al
though at a more subdued pace.
North street, joining Royal avenue
with the Shank hill district was swept

field. Several thousand shipyard

kept from their posts by the riot.

Mrs. J. F. Hornaday today supple
mented her statement of Monday in
regard to the length of the school term
in Richmond with the following:
The article in Mondays Palladium
quoting Mrs. ] F, Hornaday on the
present nine and one-half months
school-term was very we'll written
but did not fully state just what my
attitude is.
so many mothers have suggested
to me in the past few weeks that
someone should start some plan to
shorten the school year and have as
serted that their children are nervous
and worn out and doing no good in
school-and that il seemed an outrage
to be keeping the children in school
when most schools and colleges are
closed.
Il am sure we have three splendid
men on our school board-men whose
wish it is to do the will of the major
ity of the people they representa-
cnly hoped to be able to ascertain the
real wish of the majority of the par
ents of our school children, and I'm
sure our school board will be only too
ready to comply with their wishes
Considers Children.
The only reason for having schools
is the children. They are the only
thing to consider in this matter; if
j the children have really benefited by
/ this added two weeks of school-all
real parents will be for tiff they
| have not benefted-then there is no
argument in favor of it.
| Our schools are not run to meet a
standard. they are not operated for
| the benefit of the teachers or super
| intendents-theya are only operated for
| one purpose-the real benefit to the
child-and the parents are surely cap,
able of judging and their Judgment
will surely be respected.
we have splendid schools, we have
many splendid teachers-all for one
purpose-the best thing possible for
the child
| 4 have no intention of making any
| criticism of the schoolboard, or ot
! the ones who wanted this plan tried
/ but it has been tried now-are We
best for the children
There seems to be a very marked
sentiment against it, also the spring
vacation of one week-which only
puts the close of school one weel
farther in hot weather: if the major
ity of parents feel this way about it
this seems the best time to make I
! known" .-...

Sluggish voting characterized the
special election Tuesday to decide
whether a city manager form Of gov
eminent should be adopted in this
city. At noon slightly over 1000 votes
had been cast Of this number about
one-third were women. The total
voting strength of the city is estimated

Leaders of both, city manager and
anti-city manager forces had expected
the vote to be slightly heavier and ef-
forts we're being made to get citizens

of interest was manifested in various
parts of the city.
Voting is Quiet.
The election was featured generally
by quietness at the polls, no difficult
ties being reported.
Heaviest viting was recorded in the
2sth precinct, Sixth ward. where at
noon today 133 votes had been re-
corded. The 32nd precinct, Seventh
ward, had 119 votes at noon, the 31st
precinct, Seventh ward, had "a
votes.
The largest vote by precinct was
in the Fifth ward which has the larg-
est voting population in the city. AT
noon only 410 votes had been cast
there in six precincts The Fourth
ward had 80 votes recorded out of a
voting strength of over 1000.
Make No Predictions.
Heads of the organizations working
in the campaign were making no
further predictions relative to the out
| come of the vote.
Interested parties predicted that un
less heavier vote was cast the out

proposed form of city government

the interest of citizens in order to OBJ

Porter Resolution To End War
Passes House, 303 to 81, to
Take Place of Knox Resolu-
ton.
Lower HOUSE RESTS
(By Associated press)

WASHINGTON, June 14-Whether
the senate will accept the Porter
peace resolution, passed late yester-
day by the house as substitute for
the Knox resolution, already adopted
by the senate, was an uncertain ques
tion today.
Failure to accept would send the
whole question to conference. but as
leaders in both branches of congress
have declared their intention of hold
ing out for their respective measures,
there was no indication that speedy
agreement would be reached.
Adoption of the Porter resolution.
which would terminate the state OF
war with Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary, came after two days OF hard
fighting, but the vote was decisive,
40 Democrats Joining the Republicans
for total of 305 votes in favor of it,
a against 81 opposing. Only one Re-
publican, Representative Kelley, of
Michigan, voted against the resolu-
tion. All attempts to amend the meas
ure failed
Points of Difference
The Knox resolution differs from
the Porter resolution in that it would
repeal the declaration of war. Oppon-
ents have claimed that congress ought
not to appeal the war declaration, as
it might be regarded as a reputation
Of the war itself Debate on the Por-
ter resolution centered chiefly about
the question of whether American
rights would be properly safeguarded
The house was not in session today
being adjourned until tomorrow.
Representative London, Socialist
New York, has offered a resolution to
terminate the war with the central
powers and 10 provide for the con
