The heavy enrolment in the
grammar school and the fourth ward
was a distinct surprise to the school
officials. and in both schools the
beginner classes have been cut to
half day to provide accommoda-
tions for the increase. A modified
form Of the platoon system has been
adopted in both schools and is prov
ing very effective in increasing eff
cheney Superintendent Gotke re-
ported.
The old grammar school has been
abandoned, and the former junior
high is being utilized for the gram
mar grades, the junior high stu
dents. Of which there are over 40(
enrolled, taking over the former
senior high. Notwithstanding the
fact there are already 925 pupils en-
rolled for the grammar school. which
has is roomss adoption Of the modi-
fled platoon system has prevented
overcrowding and the work in all
grades Is proceeding smoothly.
Under the platoon system the play
periods for the younger pupils are
set so that approximately rs to so
per cent are on the Fairgrounds
during school hours. Fairgrounds
are under the supervision Of Ray
mond Plato and Miss Marguerite
Valentes and all play Is supervised.
The classes move in and out Of the
building with ~clock-like regularity,
and as soon as a group Is released
on the playground, the supervisors
take charge, directing the play and
i~nstructing the children in health
education. During periods Of incle-
ment weather, the children assemble
in the auditorium for the play per-
iod, and are instructed in group
calisthenies and enjoy group singing
or other diversions.
"Much credit Is due c. r. Dodd
and the faculty Of the grammar
school for the manne in which that
school has been organized" Super
intenfent Gotke said. Il must adj
NIT | was worried over the situa-
tion; but they have solved every
problem connected with moving the
school from the old building and
organizing IL in the former junior
high. In n week they have per-
fected a wonderful organization; the
supervised group play and the adop-
tion Of the modified platoon sys-
tenn apparently has solved the prob
Tern. without this reorganization
the faculty would be unable TO
handle thu classes properly. Under
the new system there is no over
crowding Of rooms; the children are
receiving instruction on the play
ground as well as in the class rooms,
and the grammar school is operating
with cloek-like precision"
Over 1900 students are now en-

Centers of greatest Communist

regions are known to be those in
which the Struggle of the workers
is most acute. representing the
needle trades, the textile mills and
the mine districts, a fact which the

careful not to mention that in all
these sections the workers have
shown overwhelmingly that they ia
vor the left wing and Communist
leadership.
