OFFICIALS DEBATE
NEW SCHOOL HOUR
Utilities Commissioners See
$50 as Best Time for
Opening.

If school opening hours are to be
changed, they should be moved back
to $50 am. instead Of up to $50 am,
which was shown as the preference
of parents, according to the three
members of the Public Utilities Com
mission, William A. Van Duzer, di-
rector Of traffic. and Maj Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent Of police.
In q report sent today to Charles
B. Degges. secretary Of the Board of
Education, the five officials agreed
that public safety would be served
better by the later hour. At present
schools open at 9 am.
The matter of changed opening
hours was first broached by Frederic
A. Delano. chairman of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, who suggested that an hour other
than 9 am. might relieve some of the
present difficulties.
Before acting, however, the Board
Of Education polled parents and a
predominant number favored $50
ing both the present hour and $50.
The Board of Education declined to-
day to agree with the traffic and util-
tiles officials. DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent, said he favored TAX
ing the view of the parents, but Henry
Gilligan. board member. insisted that
safety was the paramount question
involved and superseded the desires
Of parents. The matter was held in
allegiance until supervising principals
may be polled to learn their attitude
and for facts on actual accident rec
ords involving school children.
Van Duzer pointed out that 55 per
cent of the employees of the Govern
ment go to work at o'clock in spite
of efforts to stagger the hours at Is
minute intervals from 8 to 9 am.
