Better Lighting Improves
School Work, Educator Says
Ohioon's Three-Yeor Study Shows Grades
Went Up and Town Saved Money

AS committee headed by Assistant
Supt. of Schools J. J. Crane con-
tinues a study Of the problem of
lighting in the District schools,
U. E. Diener. superintendent of
schools in Fremont. Ohio, has re-
ported Improvements in the lighting
bring improvements in the work of
the pupils
Mr.. Diener formulated statistical
reports of high school grades cover
ing a period of three years, two of
which were just prior to complete
relighting of the school building
and the third covering the year i'm
mediately following.
Meanwhile the local committee,
which includes Walter Kern, the
District electrician, has met several
times during the summer to con-
slider the problem Of affording as
good lighting in the older buildings
as is being installed in the newer
schools.
Although the group has as yet
made no report, it is understood
the improvement of the lighting in
the old eight-room schools and in
some of the old high schools would
require good deal Of money.
Studies Made in Ohio.

continue through the freshman and
sophomore years, are divided into
four basic fields-the physical
sciences, the biological sciences, the
social sciences and the humanities.
These courses are designed to aid
the student in making the transit
ton from high school work to COL
lege study and to round out his
general education as base for
later specialization.
In the graduate division, accord
ing to Dean Ernest S. Griffith, the
program is planned around areas
of concentration-suc areas as the
interrelations between government
and business, agricultural economics
and national resources and social

ly as possible after the enrolment
and assignment of pupils.
Proper preparation for the open
ing of the schools contributes to the
increased efficiency of the educa-
tional program for which the school
system is organized.
Each year the school system grad
yates a large number of pupils from
its various high schools and colleges.
The places of such pupils are an
nually taken by several thousand
new pupils, some beginning their
educational career by entering the
schools for the first time and others
coming to Washington from other
cities.
