SCHOOL AGE FIXED
FOR THE CHILDREN
Fewer Reporters If TheyDo

Raleigh, Oct. The reason the
State School Commission decided that
no children would be admitted to the
first grade this year if they became
six years old after October l was be-
cause the commission felt it was bet
ter for the children and would help
to reduce the number of "repeaters''
in the first grade, Lloyd Griffin, exc
cutive secretary of the school COM
mission said today. The decision was
not dictated by any belief that econ
omy would result from it, on the as
sumption that fewer first grade
teachers would be required, since a
corresponding increase in the num-
Der of teachers will be needed next
year, Griffin said.
1.-THE decision of the board to limit
the first grade enrolment only to
children who would become six years
old by October 1 was made entirely
because past school records showed
that children under six years old did
not make as good records as those six
and older and because these same
records showed an unusually large
number of repeaters among the chill
dren who had started to school be-
fore they were six years DID," Griffin
said. still another factor taken in
to consideration was the fact that
with only seven elementary grades,
children are getting into high school
and finishing high school too young.
So the commission, after consulting
with educational leaders, felt it would
be doing a real service to both chill
dren and parents by fixing the age
of entry date so that the majority of
children entering the first grade this
year would be six years old when they
started to school.
There are undoubtedly cases where
children who are only five or five
and-a-half years old could do first

Kathleen had made Johns invi-

Thinking it over it didn't sound
reasonable to John Sayre. He re-

He wasn't snob but it was
simply that he knew it wasn't a
good idea to cultivate personal re-
lationships with any girl who
worked for him.
The invitation had come as nat
urally as his first invitation for
her to play golf with him. He
hadn't intended doing that either
yet he knew that Bill Warner had
crystallized the thought in him that
she was lovely and desiring to be
alone with her was inevitable.
She was a surprising girl, differ
ent from any he knew. He never
knew what to expect from her.
Hers was a strange mixture that
was both shy and extraordinarily
poised. She was a gentlewoman,
from where he did not know. She
had brains and beauty and he
didn't think for a moment that she
would misunderstood his casual in
vitatiOn.
Nevertheless he was more than
momentarily disturbed when his
man told him that Miss Cushing
had telephoned from Boston to say
that she would be in New York,
Friday, and would like to join his
party.

WOLCOTT REVUE A BIG SUCCESS
Two Hundred Attend Fire Departments Hitch.
 cock Lake Show

More than 100 couples celebrated at the second annual floor show ans dance last night of the Volunteer fire department of Wolcott, at Moynihans resort at Lake Hitch- cock. John "Chick" Kelley acted ag chairman of the reception conn mittee while Ray Fitzpatrick, Demo- crat radio editor, filled the role of master of ceremonies.
 The show presented was on ayl- ateur entertainment contest during which Fitzpatrick took the part of Colonel Stoopnagle. Leroy Newell, young xyiophonist was awarded first prize, while Virginia Collins, tap dancer took second honors. The third prize of the evening was pre- sented to Earl and Florence White of Middlebury who scored with novel yodel interpretation
 Consolation prize was awarded for tho perfection of Q newspaper net with tho characters played by "Chick" Kelley as the hard boiled city editor, Allie Affeldt as the rec write man and Fitzpatrick as the Wolcott correspondent. The act had to do with e fire in Woloott and the action taken In the city room of e Waterbury newspaper. The result showed the inn burning to the ground as the department awaited the arrival of the fire chief who later reported he lost his way.
 After tho presentation of the skit, Fire Chief Edward Praeny was in- troduoed after which the boys of tho department presented him with c road map of Wolcott. Others who entertained were tho Bouffard boys, the McNAillan Sisters and Tim Nolan, songsteF.
 Tho committee In charge consisted of Chief Pracny, Assistant Chief Ed- ward Theriauit, Charles D. Gibson, department secretary, Captain Wil- liam Klitka, Allie Afseldt, Frank German and Harold Logan.
