withdrawal of a petition asking that
Evans be turned over to Putnam

banditry term.
Baltzell held it would be bad prec-

charge was counterfeiting, in con-

.POCOMOKE HIGH
NEEDS SCIENCE ROOM
Communicated

he u u h
We have already read three articles
relating to certain features that ham
dicap the progress Of the school. The
first one mentioned attendance, the
second showed the disadvantages Of
the library, and the third discussed
the Parent Teacher Association which
was editorially treated in the Worces-
ter Democrat.
In the article today we are to face
facts that confront us in the teaching
of Science. In the beginning, every
pupil in this school must study science
for two years; others elect it for an
additional year or two. In all this
science teaching that is required by
the State Department of Education,
certain amount Of time is to be CIV
en- to laboratory work, this being done
by the pupils themselves.
II anyone Of you were to visit the
school and see the different obstacles
that are faced in science teaching, you
would at once ask for an adjustment
of this situation. In the first place,
the laboratory itself was made from
a hallway that connects the two
wings of the main building; conse-
quently, it is easy to see that there is
not space enough available for lab
oratory. It contains 1862 so. #. of
which 120 SO. #. are taken up with
laboratory tables and cabinets, leav-
ing space of 248 so. #. open for the
use of individuals. Our classes have
an average of 80 pupils and, when the
class is compared to space, we find
that each pupil has space less than
3 #. SO. in which to do his work. This
shows vry clearly the crowded con-
dition of the laboratory, which in it.
self makes it's use impossible.
Because Of the location Of the room,
many unsatisfactory features result.
Fumes and odors arising therein
spread through the entire building; I'll
doors are closed and windows raised
to permit the escape Of these, the
breeze extinguishes the flame Of the
alcohol lamps and otherwise interferes
with exacting work.
Another feature is the disruption of
the entire organization, in that pupils
cannot use this laboratory hallway
in passing to and from classes. I'll
they should pass, the work of these
science classes would be greatly in
terferred with, not only by the tenn
porary Interruptions, but through a
breakdown in the interest of the in
dividual members. All Of this science
work should proceed uninterruptedly
throughout the entire period, and
when we say period" we mean 100
minutes, or two single periods. III
the doors Of the laboratory should be
closed and pupils not permitted to
pass through, the library could not
under any circumstances be used at
these times. Every person entering
or leaving the library either passes
through the laboratory or a class
room. In either case classes would be
disturbed. Finally, if these doors
were closed and locked, this would
within itself create a fire menace.
The physical conditions themselves
orc not good. The lighting of the
room is far from satisfactory and ade-
quate; the water system is not at all
adapted to science needs, and the
equipment is necessarily kept clutter
ed up in small cases that were origi-
