BRANCHVILLE, Md, May 16.-The
past week marked the beginning of
a new epoch in the history of Prince
Georges county school system. Twelve
months ago Mrs. H. B. Mayhem,
chairman of the education committee
of the Prince Georges County Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs. introduced
a motion at a meeting of the Prince
Georges Community Council advocat-
ing the establishment of an eighth
grade in the elementary schools.
Since then the subject has been thor
oughly investigated and widely dis
cuSSed.
Grange Studies Issue.
The conservative Pomona Grange
appointed a committee, headed by
Dean P. w. Zimmerman of Maryland
University, to study the question.
Questionnaires We're sent out by the
committee to all state superintendents
of education in the United States and
local conditions were carefully con-
sidered. At the December meeting of
the Community Council, at Marlboro,
the question was debated by Prof.
Nicholas Orem, county superintendent
y.
Hyattsville. without decision being
reached. The council requested its
delegates to present the matter to
their own associations for discussion
and recommendations, with final ac-
ton deferred until the spring meet
ing in 1923.
During the ensuing period Mr. Gra-
ham visited a number of community
organizations. speaking in support
of the proposed change. The Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs circulated
a petition, addressed to the board of
education and the county commits
sioners. requesting that provision be
made in the annual school budget
for 1923-24 to supply the necessary
teachers ard equipment to install the
eighth grade.
Cost Too Great.
The county officials took the stand
that the cost would be too great at
the present time. considering the fact
that the rural population already was
laboring under the burden of high
| taxes. Although the people of the
upper. or suburban, end of the coun-
ty comprised approximately IS per
cent of the total population and paid
! proportionate amount of taxes. they
were better situated to stand the
burden than the scattered residents
of the lower. or agricultural. section,
where the individual tax was much
greater.
The problem of adding another
grade to the already overcrowded
one-room, one-teacher schools, was
likewise difficult of solution. Prof.
Orem, in his annual report. estimated
| the cost at s+9.600. or an addition of
| about Is cents to the present school
tax of 81 cents on the s1c0 Of valua-
| ton.
The Pomona Grange committee.

tc study of the different phases of
the question, including cost; ad-
Nantages Of other systems, particu-
| larly the 6-3-3: peculiar economic
