EXPECT FAVORABLE
ACTION Two SESSION
PLAN HIGH SCHOOL

When the matter Of a two session
plan at Cony high school is taken up
at the adjourned meeting Of the
Board of Education, which will be
held at the office of the Superintend-
ent of Schools, Tuesday evening, it
will probably be favorably received
and acted upon. One Of the members
OF the Board stated last evening that
he believed the Board was unani-
mously in favor of changing to the
two session plan to meet the great
change in conditions which have been
brought about by the increasing reg
istration at the high school for the
past several years.
The proposition to change from the
one session plan to two sessions is
not a new one, and some efforts to
inform the parents of it's advantages
were made when Principals Nash,
Stuart and Quimby were at Cony. 1t
has been actively agitated during the
present school year, and every effort
has been made to inform the parents
and citizens Of the need and advan-
tages to be gained by relinauishing
the present long one session, and
In their campaign of educating the
public on the proposition, Superin-
tendent OF Schools Fred w. Burrill,
Principal Everett v. Perkins of Cony
high schol, Chairman Frank Hewins
Of the school board. and other mem
bers have carried on an extensive
speaking program before the parent
teachers associations which are or
ganiZed in all Of the city grade
schools.
The proposal has been very favor-'
ably received when the parents be-
came informed of the conditions, and
very little opposition has been dis
closed. The matter was presented to
the student body Of the school last
week by Principal Perkins, and
though 1t would be expected that the
students would be more apt to offer
objections. they accepted the case in
a fair minded and more or less ia
forable attitude. 1t is reported that
there are some instances Of opposi-
ton from the rural districts, but hav-
Ing this very situation in mind. 1t Is
the intention Of the Board of Educa-
ton to devote special study and at
tention to the cases of the students
who come to the high school from the
have to work their way, and a most
acceptable plan will be arranged to
take care of this contingency.
The change over from the existing
long one session. would not be eff
fective il adopted at the meeting to-
morrow night. until the opening OF
schools in September after the sum-
ner recess. but 1t become necessary to
take definite action at this time, in
order that the basis on which the
teachers contracts for next year will
be settled.
Instead Of a session from s.15 in
the morning to o'clock in the after
noon as at present, the new schedule
would call for a morning session
from about $50 A. NJ. to noon, with
provision for lunch at noon and an
afternoon session from LIS to $50.
Besides the expected favorable ac-
tion on the one session plan at the
high school, the Board at the meet
ing Tuesday evening will consider
and act on<the budget for school ex-
pences for the present year. before II
finally goes to the mayor and finance
committee Of the city government.

DAUGHTER Of STATE SUPT. OF SCHOOLS
ENTERTAINED BY PRINCESS IN india

Entertained by an Indian princess
at her home at Baroda, India. Miss
Katherine C. Thomas, daughter of
DR.. A. o. Thomas. Maine commits
sioner of education. and Mrs. Thorn
as. was having most delightful
visit. according to her letter writ
ten about month ago and just
received by DR.. Thomas. Her host
ess was Miss Hansa Mehta. whose
father is prime minister. At the
meeting of the World Federation of
Educational Associations held in
California last June, DR.. Thomas met
the Indian princess. who invited his
daughter to visit her. and Miss
Thomas. who Is on trip around
the world, accepted the kind invi-
tation.
The princess recently married a
man in a caste below her own. which
caste, and the papers were filled
with the story, Miss Thomas wrote.
But the marriage met the approval
Of the girls father in the spirit of
modernism. The people Of Indian
are now getting more liberal and
will probably outgrow the caste sys-
tenn to a large measure.
DR.. Thomas said Saturday that his
daughter Is probably now near Cal
no. Egypt. or in Palestine. being on
her way to Prague, Czecho-Slova-
kia, where she will remain for a
time. Miss Thomas is paying the
expenses of her trip by teaching at
various places along the route and
it is probable THAT she will teach
for time at Prague. From Septem-
Der to December of last year she
was engaged in teaching at Manila
in the Philippine Islands.
Miss Thomas started on her tour
of the globe two years ago. sailing
from San Francisco and travelling
through the Orient. She will prob
ably be in Edinburg. Scotland. in
the summer of 1925 when the World
Federation of Educational Associa-
lions meets there, and will return
to the United States with DIR. Thorn
