The little red school house" is rapidly and steadily disappear ing in Connecticut, according to survey made b the state board of education. From the year 1900, when there were 1,077 one-teach- CT schools, there has been steady dechne. For the year 1894, '35 only 337 such schools are in oper- ation in the state.
 Since the year 1900-1901, the number has been decreasing on the average by 22 schools per pear. Since 1924-1926, the rate of decrease has been even higher, approaahcing very nearly 27 per year. If that continues one-teach- CT schools will be very rare at the end of the next decade.
 With improved roads and better means of transportation, it seems likely that the rate of decrease may be even greater during the next few years. However in some of the sparsely settled sections where there are difficult topogra- phical conditions a number of one teacher schools may continue for many years.
 While sentimentalists may de- plore the passing of the little schoolhouses celebrated in Amer ican tradition for many years, the

7 While the proponents of the New $ Deal have faith in the capitalistic system they nevertheless believe . that many of it's principles should ' be changed or eliminated. Walter l.. Angle, assistant cashier of the , Citizens yarld Manufacturers Ma tional Bank said last night at the ". M. c. Al. forum. He expressed . the belief that the general policies !, of the New Deal were successful Business even before the advent of the present administration, had :, requested government intervention, MT Angle pointed out, He cited the demand for protective tariffs, for regulation of interstate com ! merce, or railroads, and of utilities. < As examples of successful ac- complishments of the New Deal to i date the speaker listed the bank . ing act. the AAA, the eco, the 1, Tennessee Valley authority. the !. Home Owners Loan Corp, the se-
 cprities act and the MIRA. All of
 these innovations are proving their
 worth in the face of opposition, he
 said.
 MT Angle described in detail the benefits derived from the meas , ures. The H0LC, he said, has saved more than 100000 homes.
 Denying the assertion that this de-
 partmeht had taken, loans that 70
 other agency would take. he said that 46 per cent of the loans were
 being paid as they came due.

 The educational offerings of one room rural schools are generally inferior to those of fully graded schools, according to the report. Equipment is inadequate, social contacts limited and with small enrollments the schools are cost ly to maintain, it is stated.
 For these reasons, the report concludes, the one room rural school has small place in any sys- tenn of capitalized education. The yearly reduction in this number is seen as a sign of educational pro- gross in Connecticut.

u. S. FOREST Chief
IN RIFT WITH ICKES
Silcox Opposes Secretary's Plan
to Assume Rule of Con.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January GA juris-
dictional dispute between Secretary
Ickes and the Forestry Service flared
into the open today, when F. A. Sill
cox, chief of that agency, took issue
with Ickes over supervision of forest
and game conservation.
Silcox, in an address prepared for
delivery to game conference, dis
agreed with suggestion advanced by
the cabinet officer yesterday that all
Government conservation activities
should be concentrated within the In
terror Department in the interest OF
harmony and efficient administration
Transfer of the Forest Service from
the Agricultural Department to the
interior Department has been bone
OF contention for some time within the
administration, but Silcox's address
today marked the first time that both
officials concerned had discussed it
publicly
He asserted that the Forest Service
was undertaking its own program of
co-ordinating the use of national
forest resources, and intimated that
grazing activities of the Interior De-
partment have not always fitted in
with use of other resources.
It has been impossible, Silcox said,
under existing conditions to secure
coordination between the supply of
national forest forage and the num-
Der Of game animals dependent upon
it" since some forest areas are 0ver-
grazed by domestic stock and game
combined, while others are overgrazed
by game alone.

STAGGERED HOURS
PLAN BEING TRIED
F.H.A. Employees Begin Test
on Recommendation of
White House.

Employees of the Federal Housing
Administration in the old Southern
Building, Thirteenth street and Penn
Sylvania avenue, today went to work
on an 8:30-to-4 schedule, as officials
there decided to make an actual test
of the suggestion to stagger hours, fol-
lowing a request from the White House
for recommendation on this plan.
The White House is understood to
have called on all establishments To-
Gated. or to be located, in the area
between Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets, and Constitution and Penn
sylvania avenues for their views on
similar working hours. Recommended
tions also are sought from all other
departments. Federal Housing au-
thorities, it was said, believed an
actual test would be the only way
to determine the feasibility.
incidentally, the Federal Housing
employees would not be affected by the
stagger plan, which originated with
the District Commissioners, as they
are moving in a few days to the old
Department of Justice Building at
Fifteenth and K streets.
In the Fourteenth -Consti-
tuition Pennsylvania area are Post
Office, Labor and Interstate Com
merce buildings, which not only house
these organizations, but a number of
independent agencies.
With these employees going to work
at $3.50, the others in the Triangle
would continue to come on at 9 as at
present. The plan is being considered
as a means of facilitating transporta-
ton.
The Board of Trade approved the
plan last November.
