EASTERN HIGH TO HAVE FULL-TIME
"STAGGER" SYSTEM NEXT TERM
Students of Two Platoons Get Whole Day of Education
by Alternating Lunch Periods.

Eastern High School will inaugurate
novel staggered plan" of school at
tendance in order to defeat the Ill
effects of heavy congestion with the
beginning of the second semester,
February /, DR.. Stephan E. Kramer,
first assistant superintendent. an
nounced today.
Under the new plan, every student
in the school will receive a full days
schooling in contrast with the double
shift" program invoked at Western
High School last year. The staggered
plan involves the operation OF classes
from 9 am. to at least 4 pm. and, II
class schedules demand it, until 4:45'
with the student body divided into two
sections, whicn will overlap in the
middle of the day when three lunch
periods will be held. The old double
shift program simply allowed one
platoon to go to school from $3.50 am.
to pm, when 1t was dismissed ior
the day with no lunch period, and the
second platoon from 100 to 4:30.
In describing the new plan today, DR.:
Kramer said each group or platoon OF
Eastern's student body will be desig,
mated with letter. Group Il" Will
begin school at 9 am. and group M
viii begin at 1850 am. When group

m" goes to school, however. the first
lunch period will begin so that the
class rooms will be housing all of group
IN" and two-thiyis of group "L." The
remaining third of the first group will
be in the lunch room. The second
lunch period will begin at 1915. to
continue until 1 pm, while the third
lunch period begins at 100 and con-
tinues until las.
It Is at the end Of this third lunch
period that students with shorter sched-
ules will begin to leave school for the
day SO that the several hundred pupils
constituting the capacity taxing enroll
ment will be either In the lunch room
or, through for the day during the
period when the two groups, 81" and
M" are overlapping.
DR.. Kramer said today that the new
staggered plan was not as popular with
the teachers as is the old double-shift
plan, but that 1t was adopted In de-
termination to provide the pupils with
as much and as thorough an education
as they are entitled to receive. At
present Eastern Highs enrolment Is
approximately 2,600, but this fgire will
be raised to more than 2,70o with the
beginning Of the new semester.

above the earth's surface, are bent to-
ward the north magnetic pole.
Seeks U. S. Backing.
He said today that high balloon as
cension near the magnetic pole itself
would probably be necessary to deter
mine the truth of this theory. He
hopes, he said, to persuade some Amer
ican institution to undertake such a
project.
The stratosphere, Prof. Picard said,
is one place where there are no speed
limits. With nothing to hit there is
no relation between velocity and dam
ger But every country in Europe, he
said, requires permit for a balloon
ascension.
Somebody asked Prof Picard what
the use of it all was-Why we're coSmic
rays, for which nobody has even sug-
gested any practical application, worth
risking his life in such flights and
worth all the money being spent in
their study.
Prof. Picard smiled. About 100
years ago." he said, "a Danish physicist
named Oersted noticed accidently that
a magnetic needle was DETECTED by an
electric current. He published the fact
and 1t was regarded as an interesting
curiosity. But it has practically revolu-
tionized the world. Every electric mo-
tor built since has been an application
of that chance observation made OF
Oersted
II don't know what will come of cos
mic rays Perhaps nothing for a gen.
Grafton. But I challenge anybody here
to tell me of one single result of scien-
tific research more than 80 years old
which has not now some practical ap-
plication. You can hunt as long as you
wish, but you can't find it. And that
will always be the case.
I'VE don't know what the cosmic ray
is. A lot of research will be required
to find out. Every experiment adds
something. When we do find out how
the energy bound up in the atomic
nucleus is being liberated somewhere
we may be at the beginning of know
ing how to liberate it ourselves.
Prof. Picard will lecture on his as
cension before the National Geographic
Society at the Washington Auditorium

 The nazi leader here, Alfred E. Frauenfeld, says that a nazi goy- ernment in Austria would not mean immediate "anschluss," because it is "a question of foreign policy and would have to be treated as such.o

 Italy, France and the Little En- tente all oppose the "anschluss." !" Friendly as Mussolini may be to- ward the Hitler regime in Germany he does not view with enthusiasm a powerful Germany extending down to the Brenner pass. .. On the other hand if the Dollfus government or a subsequent heifn- wehr government should succeed in crushing the socialists and at the same time warding off the nazi drive, the resultant militantly con- servative regime could still be a vital unit in a determined revision ist bloc including Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy.
 That solution might please Italy, but it would not satisfy France and her allies.
