Acting Supt. e. e. Cortright. re-
portinn to the Board of Educa-
ton, on the result of the stag
eered system installed in Bridge
port High schools. says that an an
nuaI saving of $4,000 has been
effected, and that this saving Will
be increased.
The decision regarding the seven
period high school day came so late
coupled with the stated understand
ing at the time the vote was taken
that its application should not result
in any of the reelected faculty being
asked to resign, that it was not pos
sible to effect quite as close an or
sanitation as will be possible later.
1. The. main building accommo-
dates all the junior and senior classes,
and in every high school the number
of pupils electing certain classes in
those years is very small. This tends
to reduce the average possible for the
building Again, the unit of organ1za-
ton when the high school was built
was IS, and many of its recitation
rooms accommodate only 2S- This is
another factor entering into the final
result.
2 The Congress High School lends
itself best to the application OF the
results there will show practically a
|1OGS reduction in faculty and POO
increase in student body.

run on a straight all day regular seven

of organization can be erected mere

year would be 10. This disregards
new positions created and promotion

account the budget allowance for five

these will be, needed to care for the

of 305 more students than were ac-

100000 men

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 16-One hun
bred thousand men in Detroit and
vicinity will be out of work today and
many factories throughout the coun-
try making Ford parts, will be forced
to shut down following the closing of
Henry Ford's plant here, announced
for Monday.
Already the men in Ford's Detroit
plants have been notified that they
were laid off indefinitely. The first
army of men to be laid off was the
River-Rouge force. which ordinarily
numbers $4,000 men. Theye were or
dered at II o'clock last night to turn

The Highland Park force, normally
$4,000 men, got word late yesterday

Seventy thousand Ford workers in
the vicinity of Detroit are affected and
10000 others in auxiliary plants here

it is believed the Ford shutdown will
affect hundreds of thousands through
