Change in High School
Study Hours Protested

To the Editor of The Star:
The recent action of the Board Of
Education extending the time Of high
schools for the coming session from
2:30 to 3 pm. has flled great many
high schools with amazement Is wei
as confusion.
. It would seem that this radical de-
parture emphasizes the Quantitative
rather than the qualitative system OF
education, and thus far no valid reason
has been assigned for the change. Also
1t Is a matter Of general information
that neither the teachers nor the parents
have been fully consulted In this matter.
AS one Of the patrons OF our public
school system, having had children IN
attendance upon these schools for more
than fifteen years past, desire TO enter
nv emphatic protest against the extern
sion Of the school day. my reasons,
among others, being as follows:
/. Experience has demonstrated that
the hours from 9 am. to 2:30 pm. are
abundantly suficient to give the chill
dren all the instruction they need and
TO meet all reasonable requirements OF
the curriculum. :.
2. The dismissal of the schools ut
the later hour viii shorten the time for
months, and to this extent will impair
the eficiency and well-being Of the
students.
3. In my Judgment the teaching
force Of the public schools has demon
strated supreme fitness for their great
task and this additional burden placed
upon them viii give them less time Tor
their own preparation and for the cor
rection Of class work-thus creating
inevitable dissatisfaction, with . conse-
quent impairment Of their efficiency.
4. The students leaving our high
schools and entering colleges have made
record up to this time that is not
only an envtable one but compares most
favorably with the most efficient school
system In any city. Why should this
record be imperiled by an experiment.
which. to the thinking public, promises
nothing but confusion and disaster.
T respectfully request this order 20
and that these most vital
" concerned b given . chance 70 be
heard before this action Of the board
becomes anal.

Lingering lightheartsd, unexcelled IN

Half solved the problems strange, which

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

''Your Family Tree" Of which David
Starr Jordan and Sarah Louise ktmball
are joint authors, is just of the press,
with diverting disclosures about the an
cestry Of famous Americans. Calvin
Coolidge IS descended from Charlie
magne, that earlier exponent Of a pro-
tective tariff" as somebody points out.
Secretary Wilbur, Chief Justice Taft
and j. P. Morgan share, with Thomas
Jefferson, descent from David I. King
of Scotland. Lyman. Wilbur's middle
family name, Is the connecting link with
the Scottish monarch. Presidents Gar
field and Grant. rs well as Benedict Ar
mold, are traced to william the Con-
queror. President Buchanan had link
with Robert Bruce, another King Of
Scotland. Ambassador Dawes Is accord
ed the genealogical honor of coming
down from Dawes who arrived on the
Maynower.
Anybody who wants compendium Of
burning national and international is
sues packed into so or 20 pages should

and q synopsis of the arguments ad-

Everybody is interested in aviation

The young man Of today who desires
TO become an aviation pilot Is faced

take the ground school course prescribed
by the Department Of Commerce, which
will cost him about $50. Then he has
just started his financial worries. as
after he has done this he must obtain
