Junior High Teachers
Told 10 Be Alert
To Problem Child

To deal with problem children who
require an amount of a teachers
time out of proportion to their num-
bers, school teacher must be
familiar with the underlying causes
OF their problems, Lawson J. Can
trell, associate superintendent of
District schools, said today.
Mr.. Cantrell spoke today before
the spring educational conference
Of the Junior High School Teachers
Association at Paul Junior High
School, Eighth and Oglethorpe
streets NV.
Problem children are the product
either of their environment or
physical handicaps, he said.
Teachers should be alert to dis
cover new methods for helping these
children If such pupils are to grow
into the type of citizens we have a
right to expect"
Run to 10 Per Cent of Total.
Mr.. Cantrell said problem children
amount only to to 10 per cent of
school students.
| Hidebound tradition and isola-
tionism can make a school a sepa-
rate estate far removed from the
affairs of mankind, Dr. Hobart M.
Corning. superintendent of schools,
yesterday told more than 500 junior
high school teachers attending the
conference.
| He urged the teachers to remem-
Der the purpose of teaching is the
growth and development OF each
child. The twin evils of isolation
ism and overemphasized tradition
are at odds with this purpose, he
warned.
Opposes Stereotyping.
DR.. Corning said he had little
doubt that school processes and in
struction are satisfactory, but, he
reiterated. Il shall raise one ques-
ton many times in my individual
talks with you. And that is: What
about this boy; what about this
girl?" All teachers should look to
the good of the pupil and not strictly
adhere to stereotyped methods, he
suggested.
The speaker cited instances OF
popular misconception as to the
value of the good old days" wher
the little red schoolhouse was the
center of education in America, anc
he suggested that stereotyped think.
ing is the reason many people still
regard the good old times as rosy.
| DR.. Corning called on the teacher.
to keep an open mind when tradi.
tional methods are being questioned
and always weigh the proposed new
method in the scales of value to thu
pupils.

District Court Fixes
Case Limit on Counsel
Seeking Continuances

District Court justices yesterday
afternoon, at a general term ses-
sion, adopted new rule designed
to avoid continuances of cases be-
cause Of lawyers being tied up as
attorneys in other cases.
The rule, scheduled to become
effective May Z, applies where an
attorney is counsel of record in
more than rs cases" pending in Dis
trict Court.
When an attorney has more than
Is pending cases his engagement
in another court Except the Su-
preme Court and the United States
Court of Appeals, it will not be
grounds for postponing trial Of an
other case in District Court, the
rule says.
The order applies to both criminal
and civil cases, unless in civil cases
consent of opposing parties is
given"
Chief Justice Bolitha ]. Laws of
District Court said he had been
working on the idea for several
months. Other jurisdictions have
adopted similar rules, he said.
i. Seek to Avoid Conflicts.
Justice Laws said the court will
seek, as far as possible, not to as
sign cases so they conflict with each
other by coming up before different
justices at District Court at the
same time.
The new rule, however, will pre-
vent a few lawyers who have many
cases from obtaining numerous
contlnuances because OF being en-
gagged elsewhere.
The rule does not prevent a law
yer from taking as many cases as
he chooses, but simply prevents
him from obtaining continuances
because OF conflict of cases if he
has more than 25. 1t was estimat-
led by court attaches that the cases
of one lawyer alone probably would
take two years to dispose Of if all of
them were brought to trial
Justice Laws said that cases have
been rapidly disposed of during the
fiscal year beginning July l; 1945.
New Cases Exceeded.
On June 80 last year there were
4l9 criminal cases on the calendar.
From then until April l of this year,
l .264 cases were added, bringing
the total up to 1858. During this
same period, 1886 cases were dis
posed of, leaving BAT criminal cases
on the calendar on April /. OF the
BAT criminal cases as of April /,
only 1876 were available for trial,
while 161 were not available for
various reasons.
| OF the pending cases, Justice
Laws revealed that 70 defendants
were in Jail awaiting trial as of yes
terday. OF these Al had been in
dicted since March 4, leaving only
80 in Jail who were indicted more
than month ago.
/ Civil cases awaiting trial as OF
March 81, including those calendar
ed through December 81, total 1870.
OF these are 1,648 non-jury cases
and 322 awaiting trial by jury.
AS of March 81, there was only
two month lapse between the time
civil jury case is calendared and
the date it would reach trial-a de-
crease of four months from the time
gap for such cases as of October l,

If the question of whether the
Red Cross-labor agreement should
be perpetuated were left up to the
labor committees, there is not much
doubt how the American Fedora
ton of Labor and Congress of In
dustrial Organizations groups would
decide.
Both found the four-year-period
during which they handled Red
Cross campaigns within labor ranks
to be thoroughly satisfactory. BY
the agreement the AFL's Labor
League for Human Rights and the
CLOS Community Services Commit
tee did the planning and publicity
work and were reimbursed for out
of-pocket expenses by Red Cross.
Abraham Bluestein, head of the
AFL labor committee, and Leo
Perlis, heading the CIO group, are
eager to renew the agreement be-
yond its designed wartime life ex-
pectancy. Not only has it solved
large item in the Embarrassing
work of the welfare committees,
but it has materially benefited
labor's standing in local chapters
where they now have true repre-
sentation
War Fund Out of Business.
The National War Fund, the other
relief agency with which the labor
committees made an agreement in
1912, has gone out of business. But
Community Chests and Councils,
Ine, which NWF absorbed, is alive
and aggressive. =
= Its national committee has recon-
mended continued cooperation of
labor on local chest level. At this
time, labor groups are presenting
their proposals for cooperation at
regional meetings of CCC, and the
indication is that many chests will
work out financial arrangements
with the unions.
The Red Cross Central Committee
must weigh advantages of the agree
ment-continued excellent relations
with 100000 union contributors
against the opposition that has
welled up in some quarters inside
as well as outside the Red Cross
Purpose Served.
| Those who have followed the mat
ter closely believe the Central Com
mlttee will rule the agreement was
an emergency measure which has
served its purpose With leadership
from Basil O'Connor, national chair
man, there likely will be some con-
tinuing form of understanding with
the unions, however, and continued
opportunity for labor representation
in the Red Cross.
The Central Committee doubtless
will consider the fact that some large
contributors have opposed the agree
ment, but have continued to give
because humanitarianism came first
Then there is the fact reported by
Red Cross circles that many Central
committeeman went along with the
agreement for the sake of unity dur
ing the war.
Proponents of the measure point
to financial figures as the final ir-
REPUTABLE argument for its success
BY union reckoning, the AFL and
CIO contributed about $225 900, ,00C
during the war to both the Red
Cross and the National War Fund
for which the labor relief committees
were reimbursed about $4,000 900 as
actual expenses.
Report by Emerson.
Guy Emerson, the Wall Street
banker who did the spadework for
the agreement, helped clarity his
concept of it in report two years
ago to the late Norman H. Davis
then national Red Cross chairman
Mr.. Emerson made these points:

Afterward, Mr.. Stefan told report
ers he thought the provision eX-
cluded nonresident children from
free school instruction would save
the District from 100000 to $400, 900
a year. He said the committee wrote
it into the bill at the last minute.
Even with the deletions adopted
by the House, the District budget
for 1947 would be higher by $4,000
than the appropriation for 1916.
Mr.. Stefan pointed out in his
statement to the House that the
Commissioners had appointed a
committee to survey the District
tax structure and make recommen-
dationS.
'This group is now celebrating, u
he explained. When their activi-
ties are completed, recommendations
undoubtedly will be made to Con-
gress which may result in increases
adequate to care for the city's fu-
ture financial needs. Out of this
city's population of almost 1000, 900,
only little over 100000 individuals
are paying real estate taxes, while
less than 100000 filed income tax
returns for 1945."
