PLATOON PLAN
At Q SCHOOL
5S8 Children Begin Full
Time Education Study
Under New Idea
BEGIN WORK

Two hundred and fourteen chill
dren who for the past two months
have had their education set back
because of being on part time study
in Pubic School No. 9, went on full
time today when the Work Study
Play" the platoon system was in
augurated at that school. Not only
were these children provided for but
room for 60 additional children on
part time studies in other congested
primary grade schools was provided
by creating the platoon system in
the first platoon school in the city.
While the SIS children attending
the school were made happy by the
change, the teaching staff under Miss
Clara Mendinhall. the principal,
were equally enthusiastic. The
teachers were unanimous in their
belief that the academic studies of
the children would be benefited by
the Inauguration OF the new system.
In speaking of the change, which
necessitated the starting of the
school sessions at $3.50 o'clock this
morning instead of at o'clock, as
heretofore, Miss Mendinhall ex-
planned that only two children were
tardy.
Under the platoon system. the
children have home rooms as here
past taught one class entirely and
also gave instructions in play, study
and the arts. the gymn work. play,
manual training and the arts such
as singing, literature, etc, are now
taught by specialists. leaving the
teachers of the academic courses
full time to teach the children.
Under the new arrangement the
teachers Of the regular courses will
have each child three hours daily,
while the remainder OF the time will
be spent by the pupils In the audi
tOrium receiving instructions in
civics IN the gym at play or in the
manual training and sewing depart
nents as we'll as in the music room
and the drawing class.
