Kindergarten Classes Bulge
With Wartime Baby Crop
BY Henry A. Muslin

the elementary rolls should work
with elementary pupils first. Only
when the needs of the regular grades
are met, should additional instruc-
tors be diverted to the kindergar-
items, he adds. Teachers for both
must meet the same requirements
and draw identical pay.
Whatever the solution, war babies
are bringing the problem into ever
sharper focus. Health Department
figures show the birth rate in the
District has increased regularly
since 1888, with the single excep-
ton of 1914. There were 22,954
births here during 1945. of which
15,784 were classified as the chill
dren of residents.
Rate Increases in 1916.
The first Al weeks of this year
saw 1902 births. 1872 more than
for the comparable period the pre-
vious year. The department says
there is every reason to expect a
continued rise.
School officials said kindergarten
enrolment in white schools in Sep
Itember was approximately 400 more
than In that month last year. A
study of birth statistics leads them
to expect a continued increase for
several years.
Five years ago, births of white
babies here increased 2,000 over
the figure !, In previous years, md
lin 1912, the increase was nearly
!, 900 births, according to the dgtxtes.
Comparatively, the birth figures
for the five-year period from 1886
show small increase each year
and in the five years following, the
increase in kindergarten enrolment
was very small, it was pointed out
A nutshell description of the
problem was given recently by Mrs
Luverne Walker, kindergarten sup
eryisor for the white schools.
"We are reaping the wartime
baby harvest in the schools she
said. I'VE are going to have to

in the city's 210 kindergarten classes.
Only an eleventh-hour redistribu-
ton of pupils and scheduling OF
more afternoon classes have enabled
school officials to absorb the heavy
load.
AS it is, the pupil-teacher ratio is
well above the desired figure. In the
white schools, this ratio is about As

staggering GA to /.

The proper ratio for the kinder

cials say.
kindergarten classes normally
meet from Am. to noon. However,
there are only 122 teachers to work
with the more than 6.400 youngsters
distributed among the 2l0 daily
classes.
This has meant that SO of the
kindergarten teachers have to con-
duct afternoon classes from l to
pm. as well as their regular morn
ing sessions. Many teachers don't
like the arrangement, but there Is
no money to hire more Of them
The vast majority Of parents also
object. They would rather have

morning. But they, too, must yield
to the pressure Of numbers. And
they would rather have the children
get afternoon kindergarten training
than none at all.
Law Seems TO Be Factor.
The fact that the law does not
require public schooling for children
under 6 seems to be contributing tc
the kindergarten problem.
There is a growing feeling among
parents and certain educators thai
part-time care Of children under {
Is a proper function of the public
schools.
Most school officials hold the op-
posite view. They argue that the
city's growth and the overall teacher
shortage make 1t difficult enough
for them to provide properly for
those 6 and over.
The difference Of opinion was ex-
emplif1ed last winter when Federal
funds for operation of the Districts
child day-care centers ran out
There followed q move to have the
school system absorb the operation
Of the centers on permanent basis
But the educators, led by School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning, vigorously

Majority in Baltimore
Sure, Mcke|din Says
At Hyattsvi||e Rally

Mayor Theodore R. McKeldin of
Baltimore, Republican candidate for
Governor, predicted last night he
would carry Baltimore by $4,000
majority in the November election.
Speaking at a rally in the Masonic
Hall, Hyattsville, attended by ap-
proximately $50 persons, Mayor
McKeldin also was optimistic over
his chances of winning on the East
ern Shore where some observers
believe the gubernatorial race may
be decided.
He also said he was encouraged
by the outlook for the COP ticket
in other parts of the State.
The gubernatorial candidate criti-
cized sending goods overseas that are
in short supply in this country and
condemned the condition of roads
and school buildings in Maryland.
Foes Expenditures Assailed.
He charged that the Democrats
in the recent primary spent $l,000,-
600 and said they should he liable
to the Corrupt Practices Act as a
result. This act is without teeth in
Maryland campaigns, he said.
Urging that this country "get
tough with Russia" Mayor McKeldin
said the current campaign was not
between Republicans and Democrats
but between the Fpinks and the
American people who believe in goy-
ernment by the people and for the
people" .
other speakers included Alex
Grfer, candidate for State controller;
Edwin A. Glenn, aspirant for Con-
gress in the 5th district, and ]. w.
Staggers of Contee, who said he was
a registered Democrat. Various can
didates on the county COP ticket
were presented, along with members
of the party's State Central Com
mittee for the county.
Fletcher Presides.
John Raymond Fletcher, chairman
of the Central Committee, presided.
Before the Hyattsville rally the
candidates spoke at Upper Marlboro
and Fair1nont Heights.
County electioneering by State
candidates was scheduled to end
today with top Republican candi-
dates touring Washington County
and their Democratic rivals stump
ing Carroll County.
After today, the opposing candi-
dates will concentrate on Baltimore,
where half the States voters live.
Democratic headquarters, mean
while, was doing a bit of polling
and found the results encouraging
for its cause in the elections now IL
days off.
The Democrats contend their
sampling of sentiment demonstrated
that:
l. Areas hostile to them in recent
elections tend to show an 8-to-12
per cent increase in COP strength.
2. Areas where the parties were
evenly matched in the past remained
mostly unchanged.
3. Areas that returned Democratic
majorities in 1912 and 1914 show
even greater Democratic strength
now, up to as much as 20 per cent.
This, the Democrats insist, means
there's little evidence of trend
to the COP.

Mooney.
His trip to Rome to receive the
scarlet biretta from the Pope,
was his first air voyage. His travels,
however, have taken him to assign
ments in many foreign lands.
Edward Cardinal Mooney came

politan OF the newly created Arch
diocese Of Detroit, coming from
Rochester. n. Y, diocese where he
had served for four years. For II
years previously he had been as

He had served as spiritual d-
rector of the American College in
Rome for 10 years. He was in India
as Apostolic Delegate for Ave years,
and in Japan as Apostolic Delegate
for two years.
He was the first American priest
to be given the important dipio-
matte folio of an apostolic dele
gate. During his seven years in that
capacity he visited every Catholic
mission station in India and in the
japanese Empire.

been raised for the Archdiocesan

Two of the major problems he
