 Two Sessions for the High School
 The school committee at the meet ing held Monday night voted after con siderable discussion to adopt the two session plan for the high school for the coming year The committee has had this matter of the double session under consideration all summer, and has surveyed the problem from all an gles When the matter came up for the final disposition, the two ses- sion plan was unanimously adopted. Some of the reasons for the two ses- sion plan considered by the commit tee were the following: (D The need of a longer day. The periods averaged last year between thirty six and thirty seven minutes net. The state requirement for the certificatiOn of high schools is a period of forty minutes net. To meet this would add twenty or twenty-five minutes to the day making the single session end at ? D. III. The State High school In spector will refuse to certify the high school on the schedule used last year. (2) Danger to the health of the pu- pills in such a long day without lunch. Pupils cannot do effective mental work continuously for seven hours. particularly at the adOlescent age. No school in the state attempts a sin gle session lasting until two D. m. without providing either period when pupils can go home to lunch or d lunch counter. (3) Better Opportun- ity at the close of school to give help to pupils who have been absent from school or who are failing in their studies. Under the single session it was impossible for many pupils to re- turn in the afternoon. Now all must return. (4D Difficulty of doing any effective studying in the afternoon either at home or at school. under the single session. To secure a high school education demands more than half days time and effort. It demands all a pupils time and effort. Securing an education is a real job.
