F|vE-HOUR SCHOOL
DAY WILL REMAIN
Supt. BaIIou Says Protest of
Teachers Cannot Be
Needed.

The fve-hour-a-day program in the
primary grades Of the District pub
lie schools Is here to stay. Supt Frank
w. Ballou declared today in answer
to the protest Of the first-Grade
teachers against the heightened
school day in the first and second
grades. The first-grade teachers pre-
sented a resolution to the teachers
council last night strongly opposing
the five-hour-a a day and urging that
the former schedule of three and a
half hours a day be restored in the
primary grades.
DIR. Ballou indicatd that there may
be some modification on the present
curricula of the primary grades If 1t
is found that the pupils are burdened
Intellectually. But the five-hour day
will remain. he said, pointing out
that the plan was only adopted after
careful consideration. .lsAr, .-.
Adopted After survey. 80
Before adopting the five-hour sched-
ule in the primary grades the super
made by the United States bureau of
education showing that Washington
was one of the few cities in the coun-
try having a population of 100000 or
more that had a e-half-
hour program for primary grade chill
dren.
Moreover, DR.. Ballou said the chill
dren in the primary grades in some
of the cities are younger than those
in Washington, and are better aDle
to stand any Intellectual strain that
may be imposed upon them by the
lengthening of the school day.
The fight against the five-hour-d day
program recently adopted in the pri-
mary grades of the public schools
was opened by the first grade teach
ers at a meeting last night of the
Teachers Council, the first of the cur
rent scholastic year.
Arguments of the teachers for the
abolition of the five-hour schedule
are:
Children Get Restless.
/. The pupils of the primary grade.
being small, become restless and i'll
at ease as the day wears on and, lack
ing the power of concentration, do
not profit as they should when the
day is made too long.
2-As a result of the present ex-
periences, the new plan is causing
the loss of the valued spirit of CO.
operation formerly had in the pupils
of the primary grades.
3-Tired children require special
attention and individual instruction,
and the large classes make this i'm
possible when the day is five hours
long.
4-Retardation of pupils will be
much greater this year under the re-
cent system than 1t was last year.
This will happen because the val
liable special out of -clasS attention
to each pupil who is backward is
lost.
5-The present plan calls for the
devotion of part of each afternoon
to regulate recreation. This is almost
impossible, or at best a great hard
ship, because no apparatus has been
provided.
6-The directed and strictly super
yised activities of the classroom or
playground cannot be substituted for
the free recreation that. pupils would
find If released from school.

CIRCULAR ON HEAD LETTUCE
INFORMATION Is ISSUED

A circular of information on head
lettuce has just been issued by the
Denver and Rio Grande Western rail-
way. the authors being Prof. W. H..
Olin' and G. S. kelch. The circular
gives in condensed form the expert
enoes Of actual growers and handlers.
IL Is stated in the fovword that: "The
writers have visited various lettuce
producing sections in Colorado, and
North and South Idaho for the ex-
press purpose Of studying, in the field,
the crop grown-getting from growers
their lettuce experiences and sugyes-
nons, how to anticipate and avoid a
crop failure. Car lot dealers who
have had several years experience in
handling this crop for market have al
so given mast helpful suggestions"
The circular advances no theories
on the part of those who prepared it,
but sums up the results of their in
vestigation among growers and hand
lers. Attention is called in this circu-
lar TO the fact that a bulletin isin pre-
paration by DR.. +. p. Sandsten, horti-
culturist of the Colorado experiment
station, covering all phases of lettuce
production.
