Divorce Actions
TotoI 2,750 Out Of
4,150 Cases Listed
By w. 6. PoIIord

District Court will begin its fall
term Tuesday, faced with more
than ALSO cases awaiting trial, a
record number for recent years.
OF the total, however, approx
mately $3.50 are civil cases. OF
these, it was estimated by court at
taches, approximately 2,750 are di-
vorce actions, the bulk of which are
uncontested. Therefore, many of
the civil cases will be subject to
quick disposal.
Accordingly, while the number of
civil cases pending is approximately
1000 above the average as the court
goes into its fall term after the
reduced summer schedule. the in
crease is due largely to the greater
number of divorce actions
Court attaches feel that actually
the docket is in about as good shape
as in past years because of the ex-
pected quick disposal Of many OF
the pending civil cases.
375 Criminal Gases.
Optimism was expressed by at
taches regarding the criminal side
Of the ledger, with 375 criminal
cases ready for trial as of Saturday
This number is considerably lower
than the number of criminal cases
on October /, last year.
Actually SO criminal cases not
ready for trial for various reasons
also are pending. A majority of
these are not ready for trial be-
cause the defendants still are fugi-
tives or are in military service, men,
tai reports still are needed or the
cases are scheduled to be dismissed
An unknown additional number of
criminal cases will be added, how
ever, in the event more indictments
are returned tomorrow.
The courts full force Of Il Jus
tices are scheduled to be on hand in
October for trials, hearing motions
and other matters, instead of only

tember in the reduced summer

development for teachers guidance
is being printed for early distri-
button among the Districts 100 ele-
mentary schools, it was learned
yesterday.
Product of years research by
special Curriculum Committee on

Safety, the chart represents a step
toward uniformity in teacher pupil
relations as stressed by school Off
Gals this year.
DR.. Carroll R. Reed, assistant
superintendent in charge of ele-
mentary schools and curriculum re-
vision, said yesterday the chart
would be offered to the higher grades
if approved by officials.
Five Age Groups Covered.
Five age groups are covered briefly
as to physical growth and develop
ment, characteristics, and needs.
Starting with the child approach
ing five years. the stages progress
by three-year increments from to
Is years.
Skeletal growth, dentition and
muscular and organic development
are outlined under the heading of
physical growth and development.
Security within the family" is
essential to the child approaching
five years. the chart states, under
the subject of needs. Another ex-
ample of its advice is that the
youngSter from IA through 16 years
needs "unobtrusive adult guidance
that does not impinge upon his own
feeling of being adult
Psychological Experts Quoted.
Similar psychological guideposts
exist for each of the five age groups
considered. Source of the advice was
largely four well-known works on
child psychology. which are recon-
mended to the teachers as collateral
reading. They are:

by Arnold and Zig Gesell; Guidance
Of Children Through Physical Edu-
cation" by Dorothy LaSalle; How
Children Develop" from the Ohio
State University faculty series. and
LAS the Child Crows" by Helen

DR.. Reed, who appointed the COM
mittee to draw up the chart, said
it was designed to give teachers "at-
a-glance" advice on what to expect
from their schoolroom charges.
